It's only that 1 WM that's doing it.
Clearance was annoying. Any Pits left were still $65. Things like the Battle Stations and MU Gigantic Battles went from $7.48 and $13.78 to $7 and $13. One store had ST figures for $2, but only one 3.75". Ninja Battle sets were $10 and $11 depending on the store. Most of it was still unchanged and being tossed into return carts. WM Prestonwood was finally clearing out that giant mess of a clearance section that's been untouched since post-Xmas last year. |

Stopped at Marshall's, Ross, and TJ Maxx in Frisco (Preston and Gaylord) last night. Nothing good left at any of these locations. Marshall's had like 3 of the VvV style Joes on 25th mini-cards and TJ Maxx had more, but neither had Beachhead (whom I want). They were marked down to $3.00. Marvel Legends 2pks were down to $10, but I only saw 2 of the Skrull Elektra/Ronin 2pks across the sites. Oh, and DVD set #2 at TJ Maxx was down to $7.

Dude thanks a lot. I went to that wal-mart last night and got the $9 ninja battles set and a $15 night raven.
I'll keep an eye out for those star wars things here on the west side of fort worth since I hit up the wal-marts and targets here frequently |

Got a Rebel Pilots 3 pack for 4.00 and a Ninja Battles for 9.00 at the Walmart in Euless. I passed over the dewback if anyone wants it.

A lot of things would have been better without RoC, but there was no escaping it. I would seriously take each designer into a room and smack them around for awhile just because of the poor "GI Joe Camo" they came up with based on midnight blue camo.
Gave up, bought an IG 3-pack to finish off my IG crew. I want to say it's at least 3 purple Officers and 12 regular (mixed between CP & 3-packs), but I may have a couple more regular IGs floating around somewhere. Need to re-do my Excel spreadsheet with the troop counts once the house is in order finally. Need to make stops later for: 1 Ninja Viper, 1 PP Crimson Guard, and 1 BAT to finish off some more things.

I guess I'm in the extreme minority, but RoC is the reason I got back into Joe. I love the new figs and take on things. The vintage Night Raven is still the bomb for me. I gotta pick one up

Why the hating on ROC? We at least now have a franchise to follow. New TV show in the works, etc. I think what I'm saying is lighten up on the criticism. It's better than having no Joes in stores at all. I'm actually happy with 90% of the ROC line itself. And I've seen numerous people change their minds and collect this line when they swore they wouldn't.

I think you're being a little hasty of bunching everyone together as "haters" just because they would have prefered the Modern style to continue and not go into movie mode.
Col. 1 Wave 1 ■Duke (Desert Assault) - OK, Jacket is a little too bulky ■Snake Eyes (Ninja Commando) - Not a fan of the head. Body needs work. ■The Baroness - Good body, bad head ■Destro - Decent body, bad head ■Neo-Viper - Dull colors. Target Rescue & SNAKE versions were better ■Storm Shadow - OK Col. 1 Wave 2 ■Duke (Reactive Armor) - OK ■Scarlett (Desert Ambush – Reactive Armor) - Awesome body, bad head ■Snake Eyes (Paris Pursuit) - Cool ■COBRA Commander - OK... but the mail away with new helmet is so much better. Can't believe they released him 3 times. ■Ice-Viper - Cool ■Storm Shadow (Paris Pursuit – Unmasked) - OK. Decent source for a young Larry Hama head. Col.1 Wave 3 ■Duke (Accelerator Suit) - Good for a toy & custom base, dull in movie ■Ripcord (Reactive Armor) - OK ■Snake Eyes (Arctic Assault) - ...ehh. OK. Should have gotten a white head. ■Rex “The Doctor” Lewis - OK, where's the monocule version we were shown? ■Baroness (Paris Pursuit) - Good body, bad head ■Storm Shadow (Arctic Assault) - Kinda dull. ■COBRA Para-Viper - Good Repaint ■Rex “The Doctor” Lewis (White Coat Variant) - Cool. ■Storm Shadow (Arctic Assault – Unmasked Variant) - Meh. Col. 2 Wave 1 ■Breaker - Boring. Bad head. ■Heavy Duty v1 (Weapons Specialist) - OK, bad head. Tad fat and short neck. ■Ripcord (Accelerator Suit) - Not as good as Duke which includes the wrist weapons ■Scarlett (Covert Ops – Camouflage Uniform) - Lame. Bad head. ■Shipwreck - Good. ■COBRA Viper Commando - Meh. ■Zartan - Grunt army builder, dull for Zartan Col. 2 Wave 2 ■Cover Girl - Lame. Bad head. ■Deep Six - Dull repaint ■Heavy Duty (Reactive Armor) - Decent body. Bad head. Why is he so fat in action figure form? ■Sgt. Stone - Good. Col.2 Wave 3 ■Agent Helix - Awesome ■Anthony “Flash” Gambello - Good ■General Hawk (Single Pack) - OK ■G.I. Joe Pit Commando - Troop Fodder, good weapons ■COBRA Eel - OK ■Crimson Neo-Viper - Good ■Elite-Viper - Lame colorless head. 3-pack was much better. Good otherwise. Col. 1 Wave 4 (Post-movie Wave starts) ■Charbroil - Good ■Kamakura - Dunno. ■Red Fang Ninja - Good ■Nano-Viper - Could have been good if it was the Neo head ■Night Adder - Cool. Col. 1 Wave 5 (Pre-Pursuit of Cobra) ■Duke (City Strike) - Good repaint of the Reactive Duke ■Ripcord (Jungle Assault) - Good repaint of the Reactive Rip ■Snake Eyes (City Strike) - Awesome, but is Resolute ■Desert-Viper - OK, but I bought more Red Fang ■Storm Shadow (Arctic Threat) - The gf calls him the Duct Tape Ninja. lol.
