If I found that assortment at Walmart, I couldn't pass it up either... If it were regular $5.99 price I might think twice. Very cool find.

Would have loved to seen a pic of them on the pegs at Wal-Mart. Just to feel like old times. BTW, great score!

Great find man, I should have got my lazy ass out of the house today. I ordered some troopers an hour ago from BBTS for $11 each, damn.

Most of us would have bought all of them. About 2-3 weeks ago I found 2 troopers, 1 officer and 2 red ninjas. Bought them all and some other stuff. That is why we 'hunt' right. That is why I have 6 Legions packs at my feet now.
What else did they have?

I only really ever deal in vintage toys which to me is a different ballgame. Plus scalping new toys for ebay takes way too much time and little profit, when i can pick up a vintage joe at a flea market and get ten time what some new five dollar toy on walmart shelves is worth. Nothing new is rare and in the end is really going to make you anything in comparison to vintage toys. And yes i army build and these will get opened...In fact im half way through them now. |

I haven't been able to find any officers since their initial release. I have one that has really loose legs. I wanted to get another one, to replace it, plus a new one. I have more regular soldiers and need another officer to balance it out.

What else did they have? exactly and we've had jack here for a long time, just finally found two from wave 5. So i was long overdue for some product. I did pass up the red ninjas they had though, i now have twelve of them so i figured id rest my wallet. They also had zartans stalkers,buzzers and series one comic packs. |

No offense taken....I don't usually see any scalpers because the shelves are usually empty when i get there, So i wouldnt know what they look like..but i do hear they travel in single file to hide their numbers... |
