Well looks like most walmarts on this side of town are removing thier joe pegs and vehicles or it seems like that as ther eis no where else for them to go atm. Most of the south west is barren to an extreme. some stores don't even have joes all they have is 12inch figures and the battlebuddy small figure things and ahandful of comic packs from early last year. I did find a nest of wave 13 and wave 10 though, got me another wraith (they had 3 not a damn one was clear!) and a wave 13 Cobra Trooper to finish off my team of 5 for those. The seemed to have had at least 3 sets of each but were missing some of the figs so I dunno if they only put partials out or if someone got the ones they wanted first...it was a very remote walmart at that.

I have mentioned this several times in many post.. The TF movie line had several TF that were not in the movie released in movie packaging.. The cancelled vehicles will show up in the movie line for joes as well. Its a marketing ploy to keep those that are only interested in the ARAH figures of the modern era buying stuff. Think about it. How many of you have stated wanting a certain figure only for it to show up in a CP? thus forcing you to buy a figure you didn't want to get one you did.
I love marketing.... They are going to make the sell one way or another. Bash the movie line all you want, in the end they will still make their money and you will have to decide how bad you want that one figure. I don't care how the figure comes out..modern or movie as long as they are made. I can go from there and customize the figure however I feel it should have been made or to resemble the classic figure. I like the Mars 3 pack.. I see great potential for customs if nothing else. Now as for the modern era being blended in.. nothing wrong with that, at least we should expect less repaints unless its movie line stuff. I will buy it all..again.. I am a completest and also a customizer.. the more parts the better the variations. Worrying about getting that one ARAH figure... why.. I can find Blowtorch.. it's the resolute stuff that is flying off the shelves.. mainly the trooper. Just my .02 According to Batman from south texas the new resolute CPs are out in retail. He picked some up tonight, has pics.

Not from south Texas... Central Texas. But that's ok.. it's south of you. I was happy when I found these because I haven't bought a Joe 2-pack or single pack in weeks. I was due for some action. But yeah.. hold tight... your local stores probably have what you need in the back.. you'll just have to wait for them to come out. They also had like 4 sets of Water Moccassins and Skyhawks! Has anyone up there had any luck finding Wave 13??? I am looking for the figures from that wave.

I am no completsist by no means and I don;t care to continue making customs, it is getting way to expensive to do this. I saw they were going to make a Starto-viper and the pack it was in was 100% fine, but no they decided to ruin that. The stinger was the last vehcile I needed in a brand new format...nope ruined, will have to modify that now to your point since it will be painted in movie colors and have a movie fiugre now. You have seen how the retail stores aorund us do Magick, it is all released everywhere north and east of us, more gas spent to find one figure form each wave? No thanks. I really don't want to order an entire wave each time for one figure, but to your other point, I guess marketing is going to force me to do so to get the last couple of original figures they have not made. I am not in this for ever, once I have what I lost from my child hood, I am done...period. They just do not want that to happen :(
As for the CPs I got those on pre-order at BBTS, I will have them soon enough. I just need Recondo, Footloose, Toxo-viper, Alley Viper, Night-Viper, Outback, Law and Order, Footloose, Dr. Mindebender (just to have the real thing instead of my mock up), a real color Leatherneck, Strato-viper, maybe a remade SAW Viper if they do him like the orignal, and maybe Voltor or Big Boa and Wetsuit to finish off my old collection. Stinger, New Skystriker (without sound effects stupid hasbro!) and a new Night Raven (sound already forced down my throat weee thanx hasbro!) Cobra Hydrofoil, Killer Whale (orignal) a S.N.A.K.E., Snow Wolf, orignal polar battle bear and Snowcat and I would be done for vehciles... |

Hopefully I'll find the Sky Hawk, Water Moccassin, and new CP on the way back soon.

Crimson.. I doubt they are going to repaint the Stinger or change the Stratoviper, but more or less change the packaging. Also i'm sure they figured that the fans would rather have the stratoviper actually come with a plane and not another fang that is a horrible remake. I have been seeing a lot of new stuff popping up in our area more, so I am playing the patience game once again and expect to see them soon enough. If anything, I'm sure I can find them on here from someone.
Nirvana.. I have been keeping an eye out for the new vehicles for you.. since you are looking for Resolute troops for me on your way back. LOL

Our car is potentially on it's last legs (or wheels), so another big expense might mean another cutback on the toy allowance for me. I haven't bought any Joe stuff at all in weeks, but I've been getting sucked into all the clearanced Indy stuff that I couldn't afford before at full retail. The only sighting I have worth mentioning is a lone Wild Bill/Scrap Iron pack that I saw at Target on Parker/75 last night. No new CPs or vehicles for me. They also still have 3 W13 Torches at Target on Montfort 635, but I'm sure they're warming for a reason.

Managed to pick up a few resolute troops this morning. No new CP's.. (which was my original intention when looking this morning)
Hard to find much of anything right now since they are doing resets at every Target and Wal Mart around me. I imagine it will be a few weeks before the pegs get new stuff on them.

Went all over today, but didn't find any resolute Cp's.. sucks, but what can you do right? Several places are still doing the reset, so I imagine stuff will start showing up next week.
