I can justify Pit Command if the price of the figs is $6.99 like current figures.

Somewhat sad, but funny story today. So I checked a couple places at lunch today. Thought about checking TRU but remembered that the last time I called it they didn't have anything, so I didn't bother. After work, I had reason to be near the TRU again, so I figured what the hell. I called the number in my phone and when the guy answered, it was a different TRU than the one I thought I was calling! Now I have called this number several times before and was never the wiser. Anyways they gave me the number for the TRU that I wanted. I called it and asked if they had DCUC. Lo and behold and to get to the point - I now have a WGH version of WW. This TRU (Kennesaw) had remnants of wave 7. They still had Booster, 2 Blue Beetles, WGH Firestorm and a Capt Cold when I left. Just imagine if I had checked that TRU at lunchtime (and all the checks I did before). Happy hunting!

I've been hearing through various post here on the tank that the price might be 7.99. Guess that extra dollar is needed for all those spring loaded weapons. lol.

actually that is another reason why I'm only planning on getting a few peeps that I really want like the Baroness and Storm Shadow figures. the pit generic soldier i'll probably get since my daughter wants one and you really do get a LOT of accessories with that one.

oh and the Flowery Branch Target has there Joes on clearance too and had some of the repaint planes marked down there too.

Can't wait for the intown targets to hit their clearance. This is the last joes I'll be buying for a while till ROC goes down in flames and wave 14 hits. That's if ROC doesn't drag down the anniversary line with it.

I actually think the figures are going to do well. Yeah the spring loaded weapons are goofy to me. But to kids they will be great. and if those same kids will pick up the ROC line (and you know adults are going to be buying them too) then the anniversary line has a future. And if you think about it, back in the day, we had some spring loaded weapons in the original line too so it's not like it's an original concept (now whether it's a good idea or not, well you have to form your own opinions about that).

Part of the problem too if Joe's success is to be judged by sales, is that there have been next to no product to even buy since stores haven't been doing a great job of stocking anything worthwhile for a LONG time. So how can you make sales if you don't put product out to be bought?

Yea Joes sell out faster than other toys on the aisle,when they stock them, the only expectation was wave 7, which may have cased a slow down at stores like Walmart.

The Target in Buford did not have Joe stuff clearanced. If you need the jets then you need to hit up the Super Target in Duluth. they have all the jets, originals and repaints, on clearance plus they had Duke, Roadblock, Gung Ho,Scarlett, and a lot of Mutt and Junkyard on clearance there as well.

Hit a couple stores in Macon today. The Macon Target is so sorry it actually makes the WR store look like toy central.

The Zebulon WM had gotten at least a case of MU wave 4, but only a Blade was left. They also had two sonic-arm Cyborgs, a Hawkman, and several of the usual DCUC wave 7 warmers.

I'm in Florida for work till Thursday. I'll check some stores if time permits. All I want are the 3 new 5 packs and a full set of 4 jets. 50% or more will earn my dollars! I've got to get the dpci's for all of them.
