I wanted Viper goggles but sculpted on would have looked better.

gijoeclub.com has posted pictures of 2008 wave 3.
Looks cool but they forgot to sculpt the goggles. Maybe they will have them as an accessory.

It looks like Wave 4 isn't dead after all. Many Target stores around the Twin Cities here in Minnesota put out a case today. I saw them at the Andover, Coon Rapids/Riverdale and Brooklyn Center stores.
Picked up the Gung Ho without anchor on hat, a couple Air Troopers and a Storm Shadow to keep on the card.

New boxed HISS picture at TNI. Vehicle has ARAH size pegs which is good for ARAH figures but not for 25th figures. The driver doesn't have a newly sculpted crotch for sitting.

I never bought the toys back in 1993 or beyond but I always thought they were cool looking.
I remember being very tempted to buy the toys back in 1993 when I first saw them at a Wal-Mart in Fridley, MN.

I found a set of these last night at the Coon Rapids/Riverdale Target in Minnesota. I was only going to buy Batman and Orion but I ended up buying the rest too. Very cool figures.

I saw the figures and toys at the Blaine, MN TRU today. I'm also looking forward to seeing the movie soon.

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.

I don't see these at retail very often either. A couple weeks ago I found 7 Cobra Ninjas at the Toy Corner store at the Mall of America. I bought them all because even for $7.99 a piece it was a lot easier to find this way. Beats driving around wasting gas trying to find this awesome army builder. So far I have 9 Cobra Ninjas, 4 Viper Pilots, 3 Cobra Officers and 1 Cobra Soldier.

The new Cobra Troops are growing on me but I must resist army building figures that can't sit or bend elbows correctly.

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 the 3 3/4" set, bagged set and free vehicle. The free vehicle is a VAMP for Clutch. See pictures. I took a few quickly but will post more later. Also, got the free pin. Not sure what to do with the black gun and 2 crates that came with the VAMP. The other black gun it came with is in a hole on the hood.
