I'd love to get a Serpentor DVD pack on clearance or discounted price, plus the SRO 3 packs that have Cutter and the Divers or the one with Wild Bill and Starduster.

I am on the hunt then!  I did NOT see the Serpentor DVD pack...  They had the one with the tray with boxes on it, and glowing snake eyes...  Do you want that set at all?  I could use the little accessories from it and the MASS device part... 

They also had the set with Roadblock and the viney thing.

The SRO sets you mentioned are the only ones they had so I'll be hunting for more of those now for you guys. :)

Thanks for Posting these Jeff.

These will be in my possession within a week, so I will get detailed pics for everyone.

I have not seen this Particular EEL or Pit trooper anywhere before.  And yes, that Pit Trooper is an Army Builder dream come true.

I *hope* i hate the movie.  Even though most of the figs look pretty cool despite the horrid mega missle launchers....Not even sure if I want to go after all the 25th repaints or not.   :-\

I can back up the ROSS stories... I 've gotten 7 SRO 3-packs (Pilots and Navy), and there's tons of DVD packs (only two different ones though).  I also saw a Crimson Guard pack, and a pack of Greenshirts Vs. Firefly in blue camo.

Not much else but if you're into weird Star Wars **** I saw skate boards, roller skates, and other nonsense that got the Clone Wars/Star Wars logo stamped on it.

I also spotted stuff at TJ Maxx or Marshall's.  One or the other, I can't recall which though now.

That Commando figure is the Movie Blue Dusty that was shown early on that the guys in HK were calling "Airborne".

I got one with just the vest from one of those vendors.  Looks like it comes with a ton of extra gear.

Smalljoes has w5 vehicles in stock.  Never ordered from them so I dunno.  Hopefully that means that BBTS & EE won't be too far behind.

**EDIT - 6:20 CST OUT OF STOCK

Smalljoes is a good place to order from. I got the first two waves of the 25th line from there.

Smalljoes is ok...  I find their pricing habits to be scalper-ish at times, but that's my opinion.  They're reliable as a company in general though, when placing orders I believe.  They tend to bump a lot of prices though if they think they'll make an extra buck, rather than keeping everything even, which is a practice I dislike and which causes me to stay away generally.

I'm going to give a bump to the Outer Rim Collectibles in case anyone is looking for a good place to purchase Joes. Prices are fair, though steep on some items, but there is a large selection of toys. I know the owner, and I'm sure he'll be stocking the Wave 5 vehicles soon enough.

Just a heads up, but I just got an e-mail from BBTS saying that all their 25th Joe stuff (aside from the Hall of Heroes) is now 20% as they are making room in their warehouse for all the movie stuff.  Not sure if anyone here needs anything, but there are some decent deals.  I threw one of those Destro/Breaker comic packs in my pile of loot, since I sort of always wanted to pick that up and it was only $2.40.

I'm done with the 25th stuff even though I'm pissed I skipped on the black masked revision Cobra trooper on more than several occasions.  Bring on the new vehicles already so I can use my EE coupon!!  Several of my Targets have been devoid of vehicles for weeks into months with the grey sticker, but I don't see these happening at retail since the movie crap will be hitting anytime now.

That would be a great idea if he was an advertiser here.....hint hint.....

Just stopped by Target and everything GI Joe that is not Combat Heroes is on clearance at 30% off.  Finally caved and bought the Cobra 5pack and a few extra troopers.  That $5 price made it easy. 

First Joe purchase in months and it felt kinda good.   :)
