  1. I didn't see any other spots for this sort of thing, but I figure there are plenty of people who would like to see some pics of the figures. So I'll start with one of my new favorites: The GI Joe Pit Commando This figure looks as though he could have been used for a Crosshairs figure, but he also looks a little like Marky Mark to me as well. He comes with a ton of extra goodies, so if you are looking to build an army of Movie "green shirts" but in movie gray & black camo , this is the guy to do it with. Check out all the stuff he comes with!
  2. When I was there they didn't even have the Pit on sale, I may have to go back for more than just the troops and Alpha vehicles. Thanks for the heads up!
  3. Picked up these today at Target when I was looking for the deluxe figures 4x GI Joe Pit Commando 2x Cobra Eel Flash Agent Helix Crimson Neo-Viper Elite-Viper Hawk They were getting the shelves ready for the new stuff but nothing was out yet, they had removed all the Star Trek, Terminator and Ninja Turtle Stuff. They had the tags out for the deluxe figs and they were set with the price tag at $9.99 just like Grey Dwarf told us. They look like they were putting up a spot for Secret Saturday stuff as well. While I was there they also had put out some new Transformers Movie figs. A new Helicopter stood out, but otherwise it looked like the other 2 I saw were repaints of other cars. I find it funny that the Toys R Us sale is done and the Wal-Marts in my area now have the ROC stuff out in force. Nothing new, just all the stuff that most people who wanted it, have already gotten.
  4. I agree that Raven would be cool and one that I want, but I picked Toyman, I'd rather it be the one from JLU, but I know he is probably last on the list for villans to make without a good deal of us telling them to make him.
  5. I was not about them at all until the TRU sale, after opening ones even like ponytail Scarlett, I really like 'em. These seem to hold the weapons better as well, both in hands and elbow. I am a big fan of the Desert Duke fig, it is so what I was hoping for when I was younger and tired of all the neon garbage. I was so excited when I saw the new line up for Batle Corps that looked more realistic that was eventually cancelled and ended the original line, now thanks to the movie line I have some more realistic Joes. I'm buying him up when I see him and head swaping with Green backs to make a little Squad. My only complaint with this line is a few of my figures are very loose right off the card. It's an easy fix, but still annoying.
  6. sweet customs as always, the Lifeline is awesome.
  7. Send that one to Conan O'Brien for the SAT prep, that's funny! Seriously, Herbie the Robot was put in the old Fantastic Four cartoons because they were worried that kids would light themselves on fire if they wanted to be like the Human Torch, after kids were getting hurt jumping off of houses trying to be Superman. I'm so numb at this point from all the stupidity in the world. I will admit I would have lost it if I saw this kid running down the road making engine noises and screaming let's Roll at the top of his lungs. I'd also hate to see him try and squeeze out a fart in a quiet room.
  8. O.K. I don't know if this has been reported on here or anywhere else. I don't hit all the sites, just here and Hisstank but while doing my midnight run to the Meijers in Rolling Meadows, IL I found a huge surprise to me, the Joe sale that Toys R Us had for the 2 for $9.99 is also at Meijers. They also had the Alpha vehicles for $13.99. I noticed a lot of people missed or there TRU never got a lot of Joe figures in, but if you missed them at TRU, then you can get the same deal at Meijers. They only had a small end cap and most were the common figures I at least have seen everywhere (but Wal-Mart) including Baroness, Covergirl and Sgt. Stone, which from what I have read on here have been harder for some folks to find then others. I also scoped out some other sales while there and thought I would pass on the info to those of you who do not frequent this Wal-Mart/Target like store that is open 24 hrs. The action Joes were on sale as long as the role play stuff for $11.99 as you can see in the last pic. They also had the DCU figs still at $10.99 and had a good selection of figures through series 7 Star Wars Evolution packs from the Legacy collection for $10.99 SW Mighty Muggs for $8.24 (if anyone collects these) Joe 25th comic packs for $7.49 and Transformers animated and Classic/Universe Voyagers for $16.49 I don't collect all of these lines but I know a lot of people on here do, so I just wanted to pass on the other sale stuff since I was there. If you don't have a Meijers near you, this probably won't help you much, but if you do, check it out.
  9. I had wrote about this when I was talking about what I picked up at the TRU G.I. joe sale and I was commenting on how I picked up Dr. Fate, Vigilante, Commander Steel, The Superman/Brainiac and Batman/Clayface 2-packs and Mr. T. I Love the Dr. Fate & Vigilante. Vigilantes paint is not that great as usual, in my mind they haven't fixed anything with this problem, but I was lucky when I first found him that they 2 to choose from, so I got a decent one. His guns are not as cheaply made as Deathstrokes which is a plus. Dr. Fate is just a favorite of mine, so I'm just happy I have one and he looks pretty sweet. The Mr. T is o.k. but no pun intended here, but his balls don't stay on his back all that well. Commander Steel is well Commander Steel and I only really picked him up for the Giganta piece. The Giganta looks like a nice piece from what I have been able to put together of her. I wish the figure in this form would have been more to scale considering she could hold someone Grods size in the palm of her hand (see the second to last episode of JLU season 2) but I'm just happy to get her. Love the Sups/Brainiac set. The new Batman is awesome and I love the arms on Clayface. I don't know if the first version had these arms or not, I never owned it, but I do like them. I hope they release this Batman without the clay platter. No sign of Hawkgirl, either Parademons or Gent Ghost. I've seen Dr. Fate and Commander Steel at multiple TRU's though. Sorry if this was to long.
  10. Don't you hate it when your fat and bald and hot women look at you like a complete pathetic loser when you buy G.I. Joes and you have to lie about needing a gift receipt (digging on myself no one else)
  11. A throne would be pretty awesome! I wish they would do something similar to the new Star Trek Toys but thought out better with a plastic base to it. Kind of like the BAF lines but with playsets.
  12. Don't you hate it when you go to buy toys and the girl is smokin hot at the register and she asks you "do you need a gift receipt for this?" er uh No (but you say yes)
  13. I'm starting to think Wal-Mart new TRU was going to be doing this promotion and will be putting the movie stuff after TRU's sale is over. The Wal-Mark in Lake Geneva has no TRU anywhere near it, that I know of at least. Wouldn't shock me the least to see this stuff start overflowing at Wally World on Sunday or Monday. I can't see any other reason for it. I haven't been able to find any of the sales ads from TRU at the stores, they all say they are out. I'm guessing because you need to leave it at Target (from what I was told) so they have it as proof that the sale exsisted, which would lead to people grabbing a few at a time. I will say this much, the sale really sparked me to buy a line I never planned on buying and now after opening them, I'm happy I did!
  14. I really want just about the whole wave, I really hope that I can find them. I'm still trying to find Hawkgirl, Gent Ghost and both Parademons.
  15. Tried to price match at 4 diff Targets with the ad printed off of Toysrus.com and they said it had to be the actual printed add, so then I tried to price match using my receipt and they said I couldn't do that either, so I said fine, I will be returning these. Walked out to my car and grabbed the 7 I was originally worried about finding that I had bought before the sale and returned them. Screw you Target, your off the Target on price matching. Also, I still have only seen ROC at one Wal-Mart in Lake Geneva, WI nothing in the Chicago area. Anyone know what the deal is?
  16. I stopped by mine and picked up all the basic figures that I waited to get as soon as I heard about the ad at Toys R Us. I had been waiting for Wal-Mart to get them but I have only seen on that had them and it was far away, so I had only picked up about 7 before the sale started. I went into my first Toys R Us in Niles, IL and they had plenty of the basic guys, I then checked out the other aisles and oicked up 2 of the clone wars AT-TE's or whatever they are called that were $100 and now were $50 I also was thrilled to see that they had the DCU wave with Hawkgirl and got all of them except Gent Ghost and Parademons which they did not have. I also scored the 2-packs of Braniac/Superman & Clayface/Batman. Old news to many of you but the TRU's around here usually have nothing and I only really shop at for the exclusives or Sportspics. Otherwise they never have anything. I felt like I got a good load of figures and moved on to another TRU, in Schamburg, IL where the had about 4 Heavy Duty's and 2 Cobra Commanders but nothing else, so I want to a floor manager and asked him if they had any others they could put out since the sale just started and they had nothing left. Without skipping a beat he ran and got the number off the sale tickets and had a guy bring out 3 boxes, which were the 3 diff. ones they had. It took about 10 minutes but I was just happy someone there wanted to help me since they never are willing to anywhere else. I was really hoping they would have the Helix, Hawk and Flash assortment but it was a case of wave 1, 2 and whatever the case of Paris Pursuits and Ice Vipers are. Picked up some more Ice Vipers, the other Scarlet that doesn't look like a female Steven Seagal 90's fig and a few others. I also asked about DCU but they had nothing in the back. The guy did tell me they had 12 cases in the back of the store of the 3 diff. case assortments, so they had plenty to put out incase anyone is looking for the peg warmers that waited like me. None of the stores had swaped out the ROTF section for ROC stuff yet though. I hope this little bit of info helps you all out.
