Got tired of hitting these hell holes and just bought a set on ebay. Now let the floodgates open...

Joe Defender / Re: GI Joe Retaliation - The Toys!

I ended up buying way more of this line than I initially intended. I think I have everything available right now except Duke, the Ghost Hawk, Snake Eyes w/ cycle, blue CC, blue cape Joe Trooper, and of course the roleplay stuff and the Action Battlers.
It's a pretty decent line overall, and it's certainly not overstocked. I'd love to get a couple more Red Ninja and Joe Troopers. The only thing I'm really disappointed in is the Firefly Wheel Blaster Bike. I should have known better, but I really wanted a movie Firefly before next year. He looks absolutely terrible off the bike, much like the old POTF2 Biker Scout.

Grabbed Alfred at K-mart. $16 was the price, but it rang up at $12.75. Not bad.

I wonder if this can be counted in the Movie Masters line:

The Vintage Collection '10-'13 / Re: Vintage Collection Pricing - Sales, Discounts, Price Hikes!
« on: May 30, 2012, 01:54 AM »At this particular store, the vintage style packaging vehicles won't even ring up at all.
^ I ran into that at a WM as well. It was really kind of annoying, since the shelf tag said they only wanted $10.50 for the vehicles. As it was, I didn't think it was worth trying to prove to those people that that was the price, so I left them. Kind of wanted that Torrent Starfighter, and I knew someone was looking for the Sith Infiltrator.

Saw a case of Movie Masters at Target- four Batmen, two Banes. Got Mattel'd on Alfred, which didn't surprise me.

My local Target had one case of everything, so I grabbed the Joe and Cobra Troopers, Zartan, Red Ninja, and the HISS Tank. More than I wanted to buy, but the stuff looked pretty cool in person. And I know I'll regret waiting until next year if I don't grab it now.
I suppose if SE, SS, and Duke hang around, I'll eventually pick them up. I'd like to find a blue CC too, but I'll probably have to wait and see what WM gets.

Scored Kithaba and Evazan at an out-of-town WM. It's always been a goldmine for me, but it's just difficult and time-consuming to get there. Paid off again, though. 
Add that to the B-Wing I picked up today, it was a good day.

Grabbed the last one at my local K-Mart. The box was a little beat up, but it was still OK. No new figures. 
Oh well.

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.
