Dedham TRU reorganized their aisles, and it's a sad sight.. All G.I. Joe product has been demoted out of sight to the overstock/top shelf! Ouch. (picture attached over in the MA sightings thread)

Nothing at the Target Mall. It's dry season.

The deed has been done. And thanks to the Club's insistence on shipping these things separately, it cost more than a Con set just like I had been saying it would. I really wish these weren't carded and would ship all at once...would have been much cheaper.

I told everyone they were going to be $25 each from the beginning.. Gonna be very expensive for Joes now... Plus rumor had it at Joecon that Joes would be $15 for POC styled figures...So get ready for another hike in price. So $25 is realistic when the club needs to pay Hasbro for licensing rights and also needs to make a profit.

Two options would have been ideal - carded for the crybaby MOC collectors and loose for us kick ass collectors who actually handle our toys. The price per figure isn't outragious but it's the shipping, insurance, and processing fee that gets you.
I have a hard time believing the line after Retaliation will be $15. Star Wars has heavier licensing fees so if Joes go up, then Star Wars needs to rise also. And a $15 price point will seriously damage any action figure line. At that point, it's not about the kids, it's about the collectors as the primary target. And at $15, they better be Neca quality figures with better articulation and a shit-ton of accessories. |

Just a heads up the 4 FSS "peg warmers" have dropped to $24.99 at BBTS.

Hey Barrel Roll, now's your chance to grab your namesake for $25. That's probably the best price you'll find.
Too bad Topside isn't considered a pegwarmer, he's still at $40. Oh well. I did grab Grunt from BBTS when he dropped. So for a guy not crazy on the sub, I'm getting Sure Fire and Barrel Roll from Fast Draw and Grunt and Topside from BBTS. |

I ended up grabbing a Surefire. He was one of those guys I figured I'd grab if the prices dropped.
Waiting for nerd rage to kick in. All those people who were thinking they would finance the sub marking up & selling off their unwanted figures may be in for a tough sell.

Yea. That's probably the cheapest unless people become desperate to dump him once everyone gets that shipment.
Thanks to Beam, Destro's Son, and Enzo I'm able to move the figures I don't want for cost and keep the ones I want. I'm keeping: Big Boa Cover Girl Topside Dice Tan Grunt TNT Quarrel Nano BAT

^ Thanks to you for keeping me in mind. You did all the heavy lifting by dealing with the club and pre-paying.
I'm actually excited fo these figures. Bring on FSS #2! |
