Picked up some retaliation figures from target in paramus. I used the DCPI tracker as posted here:
http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...ory-links.html
It showed several stores with availability. Both stores I went to didnt have anything on the floor. At the second Target, I asked an employee to check the back. Lo and behold, there it was: a fresh case. I snagged the red ninja and GIJoe trooper.
Now that I finally have them in my hands, I must say I am quite disappointed. The lack of accessories is disappointing. Likewise, the lack of a filecard is equally disappointing. I can give two shits about a stand, I use protech ones for display anyways. But most importantly, the figures themselves are pretty weak - literally. The plastic used is totally soft and weak. Red ninja can barely hold onto his swords. I havent opened my GIJoe trooper yet, i might trade or sell him off.
I also stopped at the local Dollar General today. Apparently someone came and scooped up the whole case yesterday as it rolled off the truck. I made friends with the stock boy, who is a "lego hobbyist." He was sympathetic to my quest and took my number down for when the next case arrives. So, as of now, Im more stoked for the DG figures than the movie line.
