GIJOE has always been a unique brand in the many, MANY different directions the line has taken. I'm rather fond of the more exotic characters and outrageous vehicles, etc. That said, I do tend to segregate on my shelves. 82-85 styled stuff tends to be parted from 86-style and beyond.

Where in Southern California are you? I've seen the figures at TRU and specialty stores like FYE and Suncoast, but I've yet to see one at Walmart or Target in SoCal. Do you remember what the price point was for the figures? Hi, Smeagol4Prez. Remember moi? Probably not. Oh, well. I've seen Hobbit stuff at Toys 'R' Us, Books-A-Million and K-Mart here. K-Mart of all places had the most impressive display and quantity I cleaned 'em out of Grinnahs. I'd actually pre-ordered everything from BBTS, though. I've never seen the Goblin King nor the Gandalf/Bolg 2-pack in a store. It doesn't seem to be selling well locally. Especially @ TRU. I think I'm the only person who's bought anything of what they received. :/
