Good toy karma at Ross this week...today I picked up the TCW Attack Recon Fighter Class I set. There was no price tag on it, so I figured I would take my chances and when the girl looked it up at the register, she came back with $4.99. Hell yes! I am pretty sure this was supposed to be $7.99 like the Sub set I picked up earlier in the week but who am I to argue?

Wow, thanks...those are incredible!

I wonder how many figures they will ultimately release, I would like to get in on these but have limited space.

I actually wish they had done something akin to the Assemblers idea for the Clone Wars line somewhere along the way. So instead of 18 crappy figures last year we could have made 36 or something. Clone and droids seem like good candidates for part swapping.

Yeah, they really need to look at moving their factory operations out of China and into a burgeoning industrial hub like Vietnam. There's no reason to keep getting jacked up every year like it is an extortion racket.

Dr P, I applaud your excellent rant. You sold me. I haven't seen these yet but I feel relieved now.

Damn, now I'm back to thinking hard about jumping in on this line, a good sale would be a nice entry point. Off to K-Mart I go...

I snagged a Republic Assault Submarine Class I set at Ross this morning for $8. 

Ever since I saw a similar report over at JTA, I have been stalking these, and it finally paid off.

Oddly, it was there all by itself, no other Class I sets anywhere to be found.

I stopped by 2 other Ross' while I was out but they had nothing, so pretty hit or miss I guess.

What'd they show? I haven't seen the highlights yet...

At the end? Yeah, weird-o-rama. I was really pulling for the Rick/Tyreese bromance to blossom tonight, guess it was not to be.

The first 6 minutes were complete awesomeness. Epic chaos. And then later I was glad to see them all realize that bringing Merle back into the group was just not possible. That's the kind of weak crap lesser shows would throw together just for the contrived drama. Welcome to your new spin-off show "Walking Dixons"...

Not sure I am getting what's up between Glenn and Maggie. Just general PTSD tension? Seems like he was more pissed at Rick, which again seems kind of misplaced.

Those 2 white dudes with Tyreese and his lady look like some prime walkerbait.

Crazy-ass Rick though, what can you say...let's hope this does not last long because I was just getting used to born-again badass Rick.

Best hour I spend in front of the TV all week!
