$35. I already helped pay for it by selling the Ace figure that I didn't want and some of the alternate labels that I didn't use.
I tempted to buy a second so I can use the alternate yellow stripe labels. They also come with extra character labels to make more variations. People are going to be buying a lot of these for customs.
Here are the alternate/extra labels that come with the set.
Here's Ace.

People have been finding the Skystriker at Target stores around the country. Sounds like most stores are receiving a case of three to start. I managed to buy one from a local Target by using the dpci. 087 06 1686
It's a very nice remake. The plastic is quite a bit darker and duller than the original. Some missiles fall off easily. The front landing gear tends to drop down a little when wings are closed.
It comes with extra yellow stripes, emblems and several different character labels to customize or utilize when army building.

Has anyone heard if Skywarp will be rereleased after Thundercracker?

Stopped at Target today and Wreck-Gar and Perceptor were too tempting. I bought those two and will probably pick up Wheeljack and Scourge now for sure.

Mainly Lowlight, Skystriker, Techno Viper, Sci-Fi, 30th Storm Shadow and a few others.
Passing on the Joecon set except for a Cobra De Aco if I find one for cheap.

Finally, the 25th line continues with an awesome Sci-Fi, Techno Viper, Zarana, Crazylegs, Skystriker and that new 30th Ann. Storm Shadow. I hope they squeeze a Night Viper into that 30th lineup. Really wish they would have done a better job on Steel Brigade; used diferent body.

Saw the new Scourge today and was very tempted. I would buy it but I sold all of my Classics last year. Blurr and Kup looked cool too. Don't know what will happen when I see Wheeljack.

It still seems hard to justify over $20 per figure when they are just repaints. Leatherneck still has a Gung-Ho head. For the $305 plus Club Membership for the set I thought we would at least get a unique Leatherneck head sculpt.

Picked up Special Missions at Borders with a 50% off in-store coupon a while back. Still haven't picked up Classic Volume 9 or 10. Can't wait volume 10 because I've never read anything over 100.
Still holding off the new issues beyond 155 1/2 in anticipation for the first trade.

So far I've purchased a few POC but those are now gone. I was tempted by some of wave 3 last night but passed. I like the accessories, especially the shield, that comes with the Shock Trooper. Snake Eyes looks like the best one yet besides 1982/83 and 1985.

The Club has started to post pictures of the Mission Brazil II set.

Anyone going to Florida at the end of March? Unfortunately, I'll be missing another one.

Bought Special Missions TPB #1 the other day and it has the Special Missions story from issue 50.

I only saw them one time and that's when I bought them.
Just received the 1980 Hot Wheels Sto & Go City Playset I bought on ebay. Sold mine off years ago and found a nice new one to put on display with my childhood Hot Wheels and Matchbox. I kept all my childhood cars and carrying case but sold off everything else in the late 80s. I also have the 1979 Service Station coming soon.
Anyone else remember the Sto & Go Hot Wheel Sets from 1979, 1980,....?
