I found the Pit for $69ish something today, but no discount on the Rhino.  I'll buy the Pit at 75% off if I ever find it at that price, but still....not sure I want/need it.

Might have to see if the RHINO is around tomorrow. I'm still kicking myself for not picking that up when it was $5 on HTS a few years back.

Picked up the TRU exclusives of Doc and Shipwreck tonight. I also found the Sting Raider, but passed on it for now.

Found a bunch of Rhinos at 30% off today, but I'm going to wait for the next round before I pick up this repaint.  $35 is still a great price for this thing though.  No signs of the TRU stuff hitting even though I'm not that interested, but would like to at least check them out in person.

Well, I don't think that I'm going to have any problems finding a RHINO for cheap, I was just in Target and they put out more in the clearance aisle...coupled with the 3 in the main aisle, there are over 30 in my store.

Since I don't keep up with GIJ to know, I'm just going to post some new images I may get as I get them...  THought this Snake Eyes wasn't familiar to me, but maybe to you guys.

That's City Strike Snake Eyes, out now in ROC wave 5, if my eyes don't deceive me.  :)

OK, I wasn't sure...  I have a tough time without seeing names knowing who's what with this line.  The joys of a non-collector trying to keep up for a collector.  ::) 

GIJ stuff tends to trickle in with other things, and so I figure better safe than sorry.  Thanks II.

Pits & Rhinos are 50% off today (at least at my Target)  Another 25% off and I'll cave...on both.

I'll buy the RHINO at 75% off.  If the 30+ at my store hang around I wouldn't be surprised if it gets to 90% off...in which case I'd buy another 2 or 3 just because.

Did you get that image recently? It might be a preproduction piece for the Resolute multi-packs that are coming out this fall, and that this Snake Eyes (who's technically a Resolute figure) might be a lock for these packs.  :)

But all those accessories kind of throw me on that, since I doubt a Hasbro multi-pack would have all of a figure's original accessories, what with the TRU McQuarrie debacle.

Yeah, it's recent, but sometimes that doesn't mean much too.

And didn't you love the answer they gave when asked about the accessories in that pack?  You could basically see them shrugging and saying "Huh."

I stopped in Target last night and the RIHNO was down to 50% off already, so was the Pit.  They also had the last of their figures clearance tagged at $4 and change, these are from the assortment that didn't get marked down to $3 and change a couple weeks ago.  Also have clearance tags on the 12" Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow which were just 30% off, as is the Then and Now Snow Job pack.

Basically, Target is purging Joe right now.  And if the Star Wars shortage is going to suck this summer, it's sounding like Joe could be as bad or worse since it's not sounding like anything will be shipping from that line.  At least we have some CW and Comic Packs to look forward to in the SW line...plus the (now) TRU exclusive wave.
