I’m so tired of Wal Mart’s incompetence and Hasbro’s choices for retailers....
I found an AWE Striker supposedly in stock and available for in store pickup. I checkout and drive 10 miles to pick it up. The employee goes back and hands me a bag and says here you go. There’s some cheap remote control jeep in the bag. I said this is not what I ordered and showed her my order. The reply I got is sometimes the item is not available and they substitute the best match they can find. What?!? Don’t email me confirmation that my order is ready to pick up and have it not be there. That is unacceptable! Mustache guy is totally on some sort of substance but I always get a kick out of his presentations because he is so darn unpredictable

I found the AWE & HISS. Which is all hooray! except that I was really looking for Scarlett and Roadblock. Anyway, just messing with them now and I gotta say, I suspect these were toys planned for the 50th line. I don't think anyone currently with GI Joe had much to do with them, except maybe new "retro" packaging. I think this shit was sitting around with DePriest's and Mark Weber's signature on 'em, waiting to go, and all the new guys did was send them into production.

Why dont they just bring back the old dude like Depriest and the others? I really didnt like the panel. They seemed like they had no idea and when they said the joes that had as a kid I pictured them as really liking Lanard and had like one or two joes (far fetched but you kind of get my point....I hope).

Has anyone tried putting the retaliation ultimate head on the retro storm shadow?

Man, that Hiss Driver is definitely growing on me...might even be worth purchasing and tossing the tank itself.

Oh, I guess I should also say that I checked 4 Super Walmarts and found:
-1 HISS at the first store, that's it. -4 HISSeseseses and 2 AWEs at the second. Either they received 2 HISS caseseseses and 1 AWE or someone bought the other AWEs. -El Zippo at the next 2 stores. There wasn't a tagged location for them in any of the stores. They were all just placed in random locations in the action figure aisle. What does this mean? Not a damn thing, except maybe these are gonna sell really well and be "HTF RARE!"

I think Mark is very enthusiastic and enjoy what he is doing... I understand that personality because I'm like that.

I feel you on the Fang. I grabbed one because of nostalgia but am regretting it. The Cobra copter looks like shit and the 25th one was just fine. I'm keeping my order for now and will decide when it's in hand. If I decide I don't want it I'll hook up a tanker at cost.
