Has anyone seen the second THOR Destroyer figure in local stores yet? Y'know the one that's black with the painted eyes.

Also, is $15 a fair price for a POC Steel Brigade or Cobra Trooper? Is $20 a fair price for a POC Jungle BAT?

Just thought I'd ask before I do anything. I honestly think they're kinda steep, and I'm wondering if we'll see these show up at discounters. I'd rather find a bunch for $5 than one for $20.

Not sure if you'd be getting those shipped or not, but found these:

Amazon.com: G.I. Joe Pursuit of Cobra 3 3/4 Inch Action Figure Steel Brigade Special Forces: Toys & Games : $12.95

Amazon.com: Cobra (The Enemy) - GI Joe Pursuit of Cobra Action Figure: Toys & Games : $11.95

Cheapest Jungle BAT on Amazon was $23.

Yes, I've been seeing him occasionally- starting in about October. A very nice repaint, I own 2. Got both of mine at TRU along with a Sif figure as well (1 per case).

Really not too sure why you'd opt to pay a ridiculous $15-$20 for each figure when I'm pretty sure ShadowNinja mentioned a number of times that he has both the POC SB and Cobra Trooper available for you at cost. But hey, it's your money- just trying to save you a few bucks.

Hmm..the guy also has the Jungle Bat for $24. That's steep. About $5 less and with Free Super Saver Shipping. Still, it's $48 for 3 figures. Now, if I can get the Steel Brigade and Trooper (if he still has them) for less from shadow, then I could get the BAT for $24 but I'd have to also find something cheap to reach the $25 mark. But $25 for one figure that's still recently new is too much. I could get some vehicles for that money.

October?! Aww man, I was still finding wave 2 guys at Target in October. I never saw them at ToysRus during that time. I must have missed them. Bummer. He's probably long gone by now.

I don't want to pay $15-20 a figure. I was just wondering what you folks were paying for one (other than at retail of course) or would pay for one at the present time.

Didn't remember he said "at cost." Good thing to know. That saves me ca$h to put towards other Joes.

It seems the Jungle BAT is going for around $15 carded or loose on eBay. I think I'll wait on that figure and try to find it for $10 or less. I'll feel like a fool if I pay more than $10 for a figure, only to find it for a measly $5 at one of the discount stores a little while later. I've managed to buy all but 3 POC figures at or below retail cost. I'm not going to break that trend.

Anyone spot the new Phantom Menace Vintage carded figures at Target yet? They're hitting in Mass (according to rebelscum sightings thread) and I haven't hit a Target since just before Christmas.

I'm looking for Darth Sidious and Darth Maul. The rest I'll pass on. If anyone finds them, I'm in need.

I'll keep an eye out, nothing just yet in my area. I'm thinking some of these episode 1 figures may end up pegwarming but we'll see.

I have a feeling they will warm shelves unless stores don't overorder. The only things I liked from that movie were the big fish creature, the destroyer droids that roll up into balls, and Darth Maul.

Nowadays, (when I can find them in stores) I only buy figures of the Fetts, General Grievous, Durge, and any troopers (Cody), creatures (nexu, ackalay), or droids (aqua droid, seripas) that I find interesting. My Star Wars buying is small. I only bought 7 toys in 2011.

I would like to see them update more expanded universe and video game stuff, like Shadows of the Empire or the video game with the Dark Trooper. I would love to have a new Dash Rendar figure.

I also wouldn't mind a more articulated Durge from Clone Wars. The deluxe figure with the speeder bike and its extra articulation is great so far, but I just wish he could move his ankles and move his hips outward. That's really it.

I am also looking for the entire wave of Phantom Menace figures MOC if you see them. I am all caught up on everything for Joes and SW at the moment other than these.

[atomsmasher]

Target in the mall had nothing save for three renegades. Firefly, Commander, Snake, and I think an artic still.

Toy Vault had Scarlet, Tunnel and Ripcord.< Seriously he died how come I didn't get a roadblock!

Toys R Us had nothing in terms of Joes but they do have a few Mad Love box sets.

Shadow Ninja stopped by and dropped off the stuff he had for me today. he got to see the 'Museum' I live in every day......lol
