Aldi?  Damn, looks like a trip to the German Grocers is in order.

Saw wave 2 of the alpha vehicles at Wal-Mart this morning.  Almost bit on the cycle that comes with two Joes.  Probably should have picked that up actually.  Good deal and pretty nifty.

I see that the Night Raven is on sale at Target this week for $29.99.  Good call.  Would be nice to see more of this line move.

Saw that today as well.  Still, where do I even have room for it with all my Star Wars stuff... that is my dilemma.

Found a couple cases of wave 4 at my local Aldi. $6.99 each. I helped myself to a Para-Viper and Kamakura, finishing wave 4 for me.

Thanks for the tip.  I have a couple Aldi stores nearby to check because I've never seen those in stores.  Can't wait to pick up Charbroil and Night Adder.

A local Marshall's had the M.A.S.S. Device packs 3, 4, and 5 for $14.99 each.  Not sure if this is noteworthy since I don't collect Joes but thought I post anyways just in case.

#5 was almost impossible to find when it was first released (I saw it once).  I'd imagine a lot of people will buy those sets at those prices just for Quick Kick, Dusty and Alpine (the three unique figures offered only in those sets).

If ANYONE finds #5, my brother desperately needed that set and I've been trying to track one down for him for ages.

I'd just greatly appreciate it and stuff, if you have the extra cash handy.

Ya I never once saw The Best of set at retail anywhere and I was hunting pretty aggresively back then.  I lucked out and got mine off HTS during that brief window.  Heck - I only saw #3 & #4 two or three times and that was it.  You can still find #1 & #2 on clearance out here at certain stores.  Stores obviously choked on those two sets.

I'll pick up an extra #5 or two if I ever come across them for folks.

Anywhere with good pictures of all 5?  I don't think I've ever seen them all.  I know he needs the set with Alpine though.

Here's detailed loose pics of Set #5 with completed MASS device.  Too lazy at the moment to look for a full set.   :-\

Duke looks like he'd be funny standing in the middle of a giant brawl, holding a grenade by the pin.  Very Brick of him.

Also, those DVD sets are showing up at TJ Maxx. My local one didn't have any, but I did find the #2 set on clearance for $7. They also have the second wave of SRO sets for $10. I know that chain gets stuff almost daily, so you have to check pretty often to find the good stuff.

I bought all three of these at a Marshall's here in Minnesota a few weeks back and have seen them at other Marshall's and T.J. Maxx's.  These sets are super awesome and are well worth $14.99 each. :) 8)

If anyone sees #4 and #5 (I think those are the ones with Quick Kick and Alpine) I need those two and would pay a few extra bucks for your troubles.  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
