My local TRU put the stuff out. Things were pretty well picked over, and there were no midsize vehicles, so I grabbed the black CC (only CC there), Rockblock, and the Ninja Dojo set.

After seeing this stuff, it makes the movie delay suck even more.

I better grab the HISS and Zartan as soon as I see them, since they're the only things I really want. I can see red Ninjas going for big bucks now.

Finally got my Stinkor and Slush Head, after Cornerstone Logistics spent eight days messing around with the package:



I'm glad Stinkor has his smell, though it's not overpowering like the vintage figure. And Slush Head is just sublime. Something about an anthropomorphic frog in a fishbowl just works.

Considering this brand has been on life support since ROC, I think this will do GI Joe in for a few years.

Incredible that it happens the day the toys hit retail and the Blu-Ray release is revealed. But if there are real problems with the film, then maybe it isn't a bad thing. Sucks right now, though.

What I find screwed up is that it was announced for Blu-Ray in late September mere hours before this news dropped.

This move will only lose them money. The hype machine is in top gear, and this happens. Like it's a GI Joe fan's fault Battleship looked like one of the shittiest movies ever made.

I find it hard to believe Hasbro is just going along with this. They stand to lose so much money by the toys already being at retail for a movie that won't arrive for ten months. The stuff will be on closeout before then.

Nice. Glad they're finally getting around to him, since no MOTU display is complete without Mekaneck.  :)

Darby grabbed me a Sandstorm Lando yesterday, then I ran by that same K-Mart today and picked up Luke, the Mon Cal (couldn't resist) and a Walrusman that's been sitting there since before Christmas.

Wow. Those pics were from before my time, but they're incredible to see.  :o

Yeah, that wave's been hitting my local TRU pretty hard. SS is always gone, but it's nice to grab a Techno- or Hazard Viper when I see one. (For the record, I have SS, but I know peeps still looking for one.)

Y'know, if I ever make a purchase from FunPub again, it might just be with one of those reloadable debit cards.

Easy ordering of Stinkor and Slush Head over at Matty just now. I remember that being such a pain, so either there's a ton of subs or nobody cares anymore. I didn't even get stuck with a WSOD.

Kinda let down by Voltar. At $350, this is a pass. Maybe I'll splurge on the FSS instead.

Yeah, DG employees are...interesting. There's five around here, and I hit two today. Nothing, but considering they were just found yesterday, I'm not worried.

It'd be great if Darklon and Voltar are part of this set, and not con attendee exclusives like I'm thinking. The Club did mention that Destro won't be in this set, but with six Grenadiers and the Oktober Guard, I'm not thinking the guys I mentioned will make the cut.
