I saw all 5 sets of those at TJ Maxx a few weeks ago for $15, but they had a mark through the price and a handwritten price of $10.00 each. 

Went back about 2 days later, and all were sold out except the Desto set.

I decided to take a trip by a Marshall's & TJ Maxx on the way home.  The Marshall's had one each of #3 and #4, so I'm all set with #4 now.  Just need #5 if anyone happens to find one.

Picked up Charbroil and Resolute SE for $5 a pop tonight at WM while wasting gas looking for their exclusives.   ::)

Good price though.  I'll be more willing to pick up more of the newer Joes if the prices stay this low, if not then...screw it.

As much as I've been tempted to get some more Joes lately, there's just been too much great SW Legacy stuff hitting my area lately to have the money for this line.

Found the remnants of the wave 5 case (with Resolute/City Strike SE) tonight. I knew I should have gone earlier to see if I could score the SE, but at least that wave is making the rounds. Hopefully I find it this shopping season.  :)

Not sure if this is old news since I'm not much of a Joe guy, but here are coupons to get the Troop Builder 5-Packs and the SROfficer 3-Packs for just $9.99 each.  Coupons are good today (11/6) and tomorrow (11/7) only.

I may actually pull the trigger on the Firefly/Greenshirts set if I can find one for $10, that's some nice cheap custom fodder.  :)

I know which TRU you shop at and it's not going to happen   ;)  They might have some Crimson Guard sets though.

Not if I have anything to say about it! 

j/k - I know you have a SE & SS somewhere in your SW room - stashed and hidden away from the public eye.   Admit it  :)

Found some 25th wave 13 on Canadian cards at my local Gordmans. I picked up a Cobra Ninja, Trooper, and two Divers. Best part? They're only $5 plus your state's share. So if you're looking for international variants or cheap army builders, it might be in your interest to hit up your local one.

Saw the new $15ish vehicles out in the wild today.  Look kinda neat, but I'm not going there.  Scored the mini battle stations and they're very simple, but very cool at the same time even though I haven't opened them yet.  One WM had them stashed on the bottom shelf in the clearance aisle and the other had them displayed on the AF endcap. 

Hit a Marshalls and TJMaxx this morning and saw DVD sets 3 & 4, but no 5.  Did score an IG 3 pack for $5 though so that was neato!

I'm still looking for those Battle Stations. They also got another damn case of wave 1 Alpha vehicles instead of wave 2.  ::)
But I did get the other 2 exclusive 2-packs I needed. Got myself a Resolute Gung-Ho and a Night Force Shockwave- not bad. The Night Creeper is great, and Copperhead is, well, another Copperhead. At least he's in Python Patrol colors, since I didn't get my hands on the Sting Raider.

So there was a third series of Combat Heroes?

WTF...I had no idea these even existed.  Anyone see them at retail?

Huh...I've never seen those before.  Wouldn't mind picking them up though if they ever get released.

I remember seeing them on ebay 2-3 months ago.  If I remember correctly this wave saw a limited release in Canada during the summer.
