A word of caution to some of you guys, if you want something, buy it. "Waiting until clearance" is one of the things that really killed the 12 in GI Joe line (especially in regards to 40th Ann stuff). If you don't support a line at retail and at retail prices, and it constantly goes to clearance, it's not going to last.
I'm sure you'll argue "it's too much, I don't have the money" and if that truly is the case, then you shouldn't be buying Joes with your cash anyway. For those who don't feel the value is up to standards, then your better off picking up the single pieces you need from the set.
Regardless, it's a good set, and I'm glad to have it even though it is peppered with figures I certainly didn't need dupes of.
Alyosha,
I completely agree with you. I've said the same before but this info just falls on deaf ears. These sets are tests for future big ticket items and at this rate, there is no future for a new USS Flagg.
If a collector can't handle a set with 7 figures and 3 vehicles that breaks down to $6.30 per item, then how is said collector going to pony up $150 - $200+ for an aircraft carrier?
