I found a Cobra Ninja and Officer at the Anoka, MN K-Mart this afternoon.  The first time I've seen them in stock at that  store since Wave 1 first hit.

No luck on the Masterpiece Starscream at the Riverdale Coon Rapids Wal-mart. 

Some more info and pictures.

The pictures are all of the club store outside the dealer room entrance. They had 500 Silver Pimps made for the con after San Diego with a limit of 5 and $15 each. They also have some of the 25th wave 2. None of the 3rd 25th boxed set. They have the 2005 Con Steel Brigade 2-Packs reduced to $25 each and the 3-Pack down to $35.

I bought:
2 of the Starduster/Grand Slam sets.
2 2005 Steel Brigade 2-Packs.
2007 T-Shirt. Will take picture.
1 Shredder w/ Rip It. Tank ships in Nov.
1 Mobat w/ Steeler. Tank ships in Nov.
1 MOTH set 4 Arctic.

Really wish the Mauler tanks would have been there tonight. Would like to put them together now.

Posting some more pictures now. Pictures of club store order form, t-shirt and the Rip-It, Starduster, Steeler and Grand Slam file cards.

I picked up 4 of 5 GI Joe 12" Adventure Team figures at the Elk River, MN Wal-Mart last Friday.  The ones I bought are really well done and look very cool. 

Haven't seen any 25th at Wal-Mart.  Haven't seen any new shipments at Targets either. 

Mike, hopefully you can get your new figures to work in the vehicles.

Unfortunately, the hip articulation makes it hard for the 25th Ann. figures to sit and fit correctly in the 1982-2006 3 3/4" vehicles.  Also, the foot holes on the new 25th figures are different than the 1982-2006 figures so the pegs on the vehicles aren't correct.

I found a Storm Shadow V2, Snake Eyes V2 and Cobra Officer at the Anoka K-Mart on Tuesday.  They were on the top shelf behind some of the new 8" GI Joe figures.  Luckily, these three all had tweaked packaging and were not sold yet. 

I opened them up and I like the figures on display standing up and holding their weapons.  Luckily these few hold weapons quite well but I've hear most of the time this is not the case.

Unfortunately, the elbows don't bend 90 degrees except for one of Storm Shadows elbows.  The Cobra Officer cannot hold his rifle with both hands which severly limits army building these or displaying them in a fighting position.  Also, the legs don't bend at the hip at 90 degrees directly forward and therefore they have the spread eagle look and don't sit properly in the many Cobra vehicles.

All of the ones I bought have near perfect paint jobs and no ugly seams between parts.

Snake Eyes is a darker gray then I thought it would be in person but I still wish it was a deep black.

The Cobra sigil on the Officer chest is way too small. 

I checked the Blaine, MN K-Mart last night but they didn't have them or a spot for them.  Hopefully, I find them soon because I want to see these in person before I fully commit to this new new style.
