Guess we are all agreed this really DIDN'T come out as someone claimed above?

Yes, I think everyone agrees that Joe Colton has not been found at retail.

347
I was just rewarded with 600 award points at my work (big surprise), which is like $600 in gift cards - the only place that I know of that carries new Star Wars stuff that accepts these award points is Kmart, so that's where I'll probably try and get my MTT.

348
I'm thinking I'll set mine up in some sort of Clone Wars battle scene rather than squaring off against a Gungan army.

349
$100 sounds about right, and I'm expecting we'll see some sales in the ballpark of that, maybe $10 more. 

This is the weakest of the "Big Ones" for sure (not counting the Attack Shuttle), but I still think it's awesome that we're getting it.  So, screw it.  I'm in for one at full price.

This past week, on two separate toy runs, a TRU in my area had some 30th figures... a few days ago, I found an Airtight and bought it.  Went back today, and they had a Zombie Viper - bought it too.

I tossed mine from the second floor balcony. It really wasn't high enough, but I'm not going outside to try it for fear of someone seeing me do it.

Lmao...

My son has a couple of these, so I can use that as an excuse to try it... and did last week outside.  It didn't work too bad at all, actually.  At least in his eyes, it was amazing... to me, it was ok.  We put the parachutes on some Neo Vipers from the first movie though because the helmet keeps popping off the Cobra Trooper, and he's afraid he'll lose the helmets.  So those two guys are now flanking the new Cobra Commander in his diorama setup.

Joe Colton is already out?  And the black Cobra Commander is the rare one?  I've seen at least a dozen black ones, but not a single blue one...

353
Are you referring to these two figures?





The newer/chubbier version came out with the launch of the new TVC line, and was part of Wave 1; which consisted of these figures:

VC01: Dengar
VC02: Leia (Hoth Outfit)
VC03: Han Solo (Echo Base Outfit)*
VC04: Luke Skywalker (Bespin Fatigues)*
VC05: AT-AT Commander
VC06: See-Threepio (C-3PO)
VC07: Dack Ralter
VC08: Darth Vader*/**
VC09: Boba Fett*/**
VC10: 4-LOM
VC11: (Twin-Pod) Cloud Car Pilot

Hopefully that answers what you were asking.

The Wal-Mart by my house apparently put out two cases last night - I went by there today, nothing left but several of Roadblock, Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes... can't believe they didn't double pack the army builders in Wave 1... well, yes I can.

I picked up the HISS yesterday for my son.  It will be a present for later this summer or something since his birthday was last week and he got a ton of stuff.

The Bullpen / Re: The Amazing Spider-Man: The Toys
« on: May 29, 2012, 11:04 AM »
I've seen probably over 100 of the new Spider Man figures this week... about a dozen combined of Green Goblin and Doc Octopus... none of that Lizard though.

Ok, I guess all I had been seeing were new comic/animated looking stuff, but yesterday at Target, they had movie/realistic looking figures... $9.99 is ridiculous, but I saw a Lizard and bought him.  Seriously awesome sculpt... I bought it for a custom Noghri or Barabel from Star Wars.

I was hoping that since Wal-Mart is only charging $7.47 in my area for the new Spiderman stuff, that the Joes would be that price too... so they're $8.96 there?  Damn.

360
I was out and about, a lot, here today...  Everywhere I went they were $15, but I'll make sure and mention it on the front page here that this isn't a universal deal for sure.  Though it makes me really thankful I got these, and there's B-Wings around to be had cheap too.

It made an otherwise ****** toy run worth the effort.

Yeah, it's not everywhere.  One store in my area is still full price on all this stuff, and even raised their Hyena Bombers back to $29.97, even after they had been sitting on clearance for $21 for a while.  At this particular store, the vintage style packaging vehicles won't even ring up at all.
