Arggg, I was just at Target Latham and thrilled to see some Wave 2 figs but then really bummed I couldn't find any Jungle Vipers or Recondos. One Dusty is still left, though!

Score!
So I got up early because I had some errands to run. Ironically ... or luckily I suppose... I could get them done in Clifton Park. So I stop at Target around 9ish. BOOO-YA-KAAAH! Snagged Recondo, Dusty, SE Ninja Commando, Destro, Zartan and 2 JV. There were a few more of each (except the JV, sorry)and some remaining POC W1 figures (non-popular ones of course read - no AV, CC, FF) left. Overall, POC W2 looks nice. My quick thoughts. Recondo - He isn't the classic Daniel LeClaire, but he isn't a bad modernization. I like how he comes fully stocked but some of the "attire" looks odd. Like would a jungle trooper be wearing what appears to be a heavy vest with a one sided shoulder pad? Picky I know. Dusty - Never was a big fan of the original, don't mind this updated version, but WTF is up with the barb-wire? SE NC - Eh. Not a bad figure, but why the armor if you are a ninja? Destro - Huge surprise. I like the figure and the accessories. The colors IMHO do not look that bad and are muted nicely. The only other character that might have been nice for the arctic look might have been Bludd or Baroness, but why have figures of them before Destro? Zartan - Not bad, but I don't understand the falcon really or the notion of not giving him another face *like his old bearded one* to pass as a "civilian". Decent though, especially giving a good reason for the "hood". JV - They look awesome and I can't wait to open one up, unforunately that won't be for a while because I got stuff to do this weekend. I think two might be enough for me. Maybe one more. I can't see army building - like the AV or ST with this figure. Granted I have never been an army builder per se, but in the above cases, I would prob grab them if I saw them - even if it meant to help out other 'tankers. Anyway, hope you guys have some luck.

All week been checking Poughkeepsie target and all week the figure pegs have been empty. Poughkeepsie TRU got stocked with the TRU exclusives and wave 1 (No alley Vipers). Fishkill Wal-Mart had lots of wave one (Again no alley Vipers). All three stores now have both GI Joe and Cobra Mech Suits.
I want wave two soooo bad! I'm going nuts! LOL |

Noooooooooooooooo!!!! I can't win! I checked this morning when they opened (had just got off work) and they were putting toys out. I checked the boxes on the pallet but didn't see GI Joe anywhere. I wanted to hang around but I needed to get to sleep because I had to be back at work at 5:00pm. Now they won't get more for probably another couple of weeks. (Banging head on table).
