I swear I saw a SS the first time I saw the new figures at the target in Ellicott City. It was mixed in with the first wave. Could that be possible? I told myself I wasn't going to buy the Renegades figures... I didn't like the cartoon look. I think I even posted it, on this thread. I hope someone here got him then!
Online my dude, amazon has one at $39. I know it sucks, but it's the cheapest I've ever seen it and no stores around us will continually restock with this wave with Retaliation toys flushing onto pegs like a sh#tstorm in a matter of weeks.

I agree. RenSS = not worth it.
I'm waiting for Red Ninja. I have bought at least 20-30 SS's over my lifetime, no need to tack on another. Anyone have a Sentinel Series Spiderman for trade? Looking for this one w/ the BAF part. Will ante up for this trade, if you have it.

Best bet is either TRU stores or TRU.com. I still can't pull the trigger for these at the current price of $19.99 each. I somehow managed to get lucky today by finding most of the second wave at Target; however, employees are stashing these in the back at most locations so we are screwed as long as orders are being minimized until the summer and employees still wanting to get first dibs on the htf figures.
You might be disappointed, the red ninja comes with lest than half of the cool accessories Renegades SS comes with, no figure stand, a giant arm mounted spring loaded missile and to my knowledge until further developments, a ridiculous $9.99 price tag! I think you'd feel much better shelving out $30 for this figure online since it most likely will not be easily found in stores between now and late next month. The Renegades headsculpt is custom fodder and generally speaking, Renegades figures just don't look as good as 30th Anniversary with the side-by-side comparison shots. With the black stash and classic headsculpt, the figure instantly morphs into a badass version of SS we've never received since the re-emergence of Joes four years ago. Online my dude, amazon has one at $39. I know it sucks, but it's the cheapest I've ever seen it and no stores around us will continually restock with this wave with Retaliation toys flushing onto pegs like a sh#tstorm in a matter of weeks. |

On another note, I finished the Marvel Legends BAF Arnim Zola series today by visiting Targets in the immediate area. I still can't find either versions of Spiderman but I really don't need another.

I guess you could wait it out, who knows? With retail being such a shady business practice with G.I. Joe this figure may show up on clearance pegs later on this year. But if I find another at anytime between here on out its yours....
I'm just not feeling the return of over-sized spring-loaded accessories that was a serious misstep with RoC figures. It's like Hasbro want's to repeat the same mistakes for no apparent reason. I would be in 100% support of buying multiples of the red ninja if they came with the same badass accessories 30th Anniversary SS had. You're right! I completely forgot how about Law & Order and Airtight, the sculpting on both of these look more realistic than the other Renegades figures. They're probably the best offerings we've received this year. Good call.... On another note, I finished the Marvel Legends BAF Arnim Zola series today by visiting Targets in the immediate area.

Law & Order was a SWEET fig! He's actually my default MP now, not really L&O, just makes a perfect Checkpoint Alpha guard.
Blackman: Spring Loaded Missile Launchers: what can I say... it's like yelling into wind or slapping a brick wall on that one, it just doesn't make any sense why they keep doing it. I'm betting someone has some serious gambling debt at Hasbro, and has some outstanding sharkie loan to a mob boss that owns a spring loaded missile toy factory, it's the only sound explanation. They just look, play, and are terrible. That new packaging is just awful too. Some of the new figures in traditional sculpting will be exceptional though, looking forward to them, but the vehicles are an absolute SKIP for me.
