Same thing at Target @Dadeland Station in Miami,FL...
Pegs were FULL of ROC - I would have expected the Snake-eyes and Storm Shadow figs to be gone for sure, but there were plenty. I resisted the urge to buy SE & SS - being an old timer ninja-freak-wannabe when I was kid in the 80s. I mean who wasn't back then? That's REALLY why SE & SS are the most popular Joes - we were inundated with ninja movies back then! On Halloween half the kids in my class dressed up like Ninjas with plastic swords. I also remember stupid debates as to whether a Ninja could kill Jason Voorhees (Friday, 13th). I actually saw a couple of ninja movies recently after 25 years (Revenge of the Ninja, American Ninja) - damn those movies sucked - I can't believe I actually thought they were GOOD when I was younger. You truly appreciate the SE/SS relationship if you had the privilege of reading the Marvel GI JOE comic book back then - if you didn't, oh man, have you missed out. Who could forget classics that gave us the very first "peek" into SE's link to SS in the now famous "Silent Interlude" issue of GI JOE #21 (G.I. Joe Comic Book Archive) from back in 1984 (which I have BTW). I'll never forget my shock when the last page showed that SE and SS had the SAME "ninja-clan" tattoo... I remember saying to myself - WHAT THE!?! Although the TOYS had been out, Hasbro never said nothing about this - it was the comic book that told us their story. And also another one not to miss - GI JOE #26 & #27 - the origins of SE AND SS (G.I. Joe Comic Book Archive). What classics. Tells the tale for the first time of their meeting during the Vietnam war and later of their training in Japan at SS's family ninja-camp. Also tells us why SE doesn't speak... I wont tell. If you haven't read these, PLEASE DO! Well, enough reminiscing - been many months since I last posted, mostly because its been DEAD since that last 25th wave that had me scramblin' for resolute Cobra Commander. Unless the remaining 25th stuff comes out, I gather more than a few of us will remain in hibernation. Out. |

Has anyone spotted the assortment with Helix, Hawk or Pit Commando yet?
Out of curiosity, was anyone from here at the TRU in NPR last night? I saw a guy with a handful of ROC figures and was wondering if he was one of us. |

Where you live XFactorz? Ron Conner, where do you live? You guys sound pretty close to me. We have so many in the area we could always pull together TAMPA swap meets. DD
