Lol yeah from the looks of the place I'm guessing it hasn't changed a bit since you worked there. I just check it out from time to time because it is off the radar for scalpers and I hope that they have some tough to find items there. A kid working there said that all they would have now on is Retaliation merch. Plus their action figure section is very small but prior to the Retaliation figures they've had more than my local TRU. Sad.
yeah lol i completely forgot about that place i remember when i worked there was like 97 was when star wars pof was out their stock room is a horror show its down stairs lol but they did have some cool xmen figures a rogue that i wanted to buy but someone beat me to it when i worked there .

i found 2 red ninjas at forbidden planet last week . for 13.99 picked em up for the hell of it they did have all the figures since it looked like 2 fresh cases i just forgot to look for the joe trooper.
that cobra trooper is a ok figure not great but has potential to be a decent figure with some tweaking . sucks his ankles don't move but switch the gear to some black gear and maybe even re paint him a little . i prob will buy a few more when and if i see them again i might hit up target in jc again hopefully ill find em there again. also he is a little taller then the alley viper officer also the swamp viper is pretty cool would be 100 times cooler if he had articulation

Had a good day hunting!
This morning I grabbed a new HISS Tank, Ghost Hawk and the 3-packs from Niskayuna Target. No new figures there, though. For those of you into the Avengers figures I was also very surprised to find a Black Widow and movie-version Hawkeye. Never thought I'd see those in the wild. This evening KMart in Clifton Park had a complete case on the pegs, I was able to find a blue Cobra Commander and a blue Joe Trooper! I left all of the other figures. From the Retaliation line all I'm missing is the tan Joe Trooper, if any of you see one please let me know!!

On Sunday, Mid Town Comics on Lexington and 45th pretty much had the entire Retaliation line, if anyone is interested, including the GI Joe Trooper. Though, at $14 / pop, not really a good deal.
