I figured the Sky Strikers wouldn't stick around long at that price. Have you guys been having luck finding the Dollar General Joes? I have had some luck but not much and even that was weeks ago now.

I've only found them once at the first place I looked. Then again, I haven't looked much since then--mostly looking for another Cobra Trooper.

I've had zero luck on DG Joes, and Ive got a bunch of people looking for me with like 15 stores within 20 miles of where I live. Every time Ive actually asked an employee about them they seem to have no idea what Im talking about either, Im getting really close to giving up on these guys :(

Well guys, ive picked up the blue CC and 2 cobra troopers with parachutes, 2 Joe troopers(blue and brown versions) 1 Ghost hawk II, 1 Hiss Tank V6 and 1 Fang Boat. Over the weekend i got all 3 put together and overall are pretty cool, but like someone said about the Fang boat the HUGE launcher has to go, but its on there for now. Anyway, the Hiss Tank is pretty good, but placing stickers on it is a bitch! The sticker sheet was ment for the Hiss Tank V5, not this newer version. Stickers dont line up with the body lines and the manual just sucks! on a side note, place them where you can and hope for the best. Ghost Hawk II, I put it together as well and no chance to place stickers on it yet, but overall, pretty damn cool, but really hate the orangey-red missiles it came with, all of them should have been silver or something for this aircraft.
The Fang boat is cool and i like the colors on the water craft alot better, but the launcher is the only draw back. I'm not commenting on the figures that comes with the vehicles, they speak for themselves. The single pack figures like CC and Cobra troopers are just OK. I was really hyped for this guys, but after seeing that Hasbro went full bore on articulation on the Joe Troopers and didn't do jack crap for CC and the Cobra Troopers, i would have to say that im passing on these! I really like CC, but the lack of double-joint knees and ankles just kills him and the same with the Cobra Troopers. Anyway, for now, ill be just looking for another Hiss Tank, and GH II, 1 Fang boat is enough for me and my collection at the moment. As far as the rest of the figures? Like the red ninja and the rest, if i see them while im out i'll get them, but not rushing out to buying these like i did with POC and 30th line. Hasbro NEEDS to go back to the drawing board and re-think their stupidity on what they did with this line and hopefully that this line will get better treament during the 9 month hiatus of the Retaliation movie.

I wasn't crazy about the Joe Trooper when I first saw pictures of it, but I really liked it when I saw it in the stores. I painted the visor of it with a metallic gold Sharpie paint pen, and it makes a world of difference though. It just makes the whole figure look a little bit more drab, and less bright.
I've always seen the movie line as a diversion of sorts. It helps pull in new fans. Especially if the old timers don't like the figures, and leave plenty for everyone else on the pegs. Once the movie line is done I'm sure they'll be back to the more creative stuff. |

Hey ford and bigjim I haven't posted much in the past but anyway I live up here in cleveland area and just wanted to let you know target and toys r us up in mentor and Willoughby area have all the new joes. Also wondering if either of you have found any Joe troopers or any DG joes yet? If your ever looking for something let me know and I'll keep an eye out. I don't think there are that many tankers up in mentor area so the pickings are good most of the time

Cvs near "downtown" montgomery has two sgt stalkers. Mason montgomery walmart has renegades CCs in the clearance section for 5, and the walgreens north of it has a jungle viper and what seems to be a movie CC (lots of red on the card with COBRA written at the top)
