to get back somewhat on topic though, for those with ross stores not able to get them, i feel for you and at the same time i don't, cause you did get the aoci/doci sets, along with stingers and arctic hiss', not to mention east coast family dollars got the resolute cobra troopers as well. i just find it interesting how these little plastic soldiers can enrage a community though. so, i will still wish luck to everyone who has a chance at scoring these at retail prices and congratulate everyone who did manage to score a set, but at least try and keep some patience for a set that no one really wanted in the first place. (well, except for that range viper, damn he looks cool)
I just got a PM from a tanker asking if anyone is selling these at a decent price. He's gotten requests for $15-30 plus shipping each... from tankers. It's a great community and I love capitalism and some here have helped me out but DAMN. These are bringing the worst out of people.
