I hit Boyd, Justin, Ponder, Keller, Summerfields, Watauga, Bedford and Grapevine.
So don't bother with those, ended up with 1 full set though. |

Just wanted to say as an addendum, I've met most of you local guys in person. If I hear of ANYONE local trying to make DG sell you these new figures for $3.50 (the price for the old o-ring figures) instead of the already discounted $6, I'm going to take that REAL personal.
If you can't afford that cheap a price for a really great new Joe product, then you need to remove Joes from your shopping list altogether. Doing this hurts everyone long term because if a store can't sell at full price, they won't (re-)order. If they don't order, stuff doesn't get made. Then we all lose....just to save a $1!

I was hoping to find a set today. There is a coupon. Just go to dollar general.com on your phone and there is a mobile site coupon with a code for the cashier to enter. $5 off a $25 purchase. So that's a great deal if you can find a set. It's a Saturday only coupon but one of the cashiers told me its usually up every Saturday.

Support your hobby at retail. What area did you find the variants at Aly? I was hoping those were going to be further down the road damnit...I dont need to come accross BLUE troopers everywhere I go..all I want is 4 more black ones lol...get us some pics of em! Here was my hunting route for the day Benbrook over through south fort worth south of 20 west of I-35 sector southwards through sycamore, down to everman, back through burleson, down to Joshua, accross to Alvarado, down to Keene, through Cleburne, Godly, back down to Granbury (found my first set for the day outta those first 19 stores there), up to weatherford out to Mineral Wells and then back through Willow Park. That takes care of everything from Mineral Wells back to Seagoville from my eastern southern arc last night... Full tank of gas, 2 days later and I all I need left is 4 more black troopers, 1 Duke, 1 Black CC and I am outta this hunt (pending Aly's pics of these variants maybe). I am dead tired...mission debreifing out

You could have bought a set on eBay cheaper than gassing up and driving to all those towns! LOL

It was fun to do a country drive n hunt for once reminded me of the wave 10 clear wraith runs in did down to Austin back in spring 08 gas was only $36...peeps on ebay are crazy right now with thier BINs of 75% markup...i dont mind 12-13 a figure+shipping...but 19-20+shipping a figure is absurd, once these hit restock levels they will be everywhere (least I hope)...since the troopers are going $40+ no..It would be cheaper to hunt for them since i want a handful of em...

Support your hobby at retail. Out of 10 stops, I came up with one set. Would have liked to have found more, but one set for today still makes me happy. SE v4 and Storm Shadow turned out quite well. Plan for a 2nd SE with a few changes (silver/grey Cobra Officer webgear, Resolute SE head painted), but overall I agree with the part choices.

Yeah I love the storm shadow...its like the most simple yet perfect homage to the Ninja force one..only thing i dont like about him is his hands, has those 30th Renegades hands..cant hold his bow very well :(...I am fisdning these have excellent paint apps...especially the eyes...the cobra troopers look incredible.
