Bought the GI Joe, Cobra and Resolute 5-Packs at the Coon Rapids/Riverdale Target this afternoon. They were $12.48 and the boxes are in horrible condition but those go in the garbage anyways. That Resolute BAT is awesome.

Hey fellow MN Tankers, I didn't know if any of you guys are thinking about going out on the 4th for ROC stuff. But I just wanted to let you know that I was at the Bloomington TRU and the store manager did confirm that they did have ROC toys in back and that they will be available when the doors open at 9am. I know I'll be there for some of them at opening. So if any of you do decided to show up then, I hope to meet you. I'll be the asain guy with the shaved or semi shaved head! Love to be able to put some faces to the names on here. Oh and just in case dibs on a Night Raven!!

I don't suppose you know if that will be the release date for ALL the TRU's in Minnesota is it? I plan to check Saturday morning at the Blaine/Northtown TRU since I live closest to that one.

Here's a quick update, fellas:

Saint Louis Park Target - Nothing. Well, other than a few Rattlers & a Solitary Conquest. All are marked down half price. There were some combat heroes and 2 Fred/Scarface Comic Packs

Saint Louis Park Big Lots - See my posts http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...tml#post831736

Minneapolis Marshalls - The Hub (66th/Nicollet)


DVD packs 1 & 2. Nothing else of interest (to me, anyways)

That thread doesn't exist anymore. What did you find at the Big Lots store? According to the new thread Big Lots hasn't received any of the new Joes.

I stopped at the Riverdale/Coon Rapids Target at 3:30pm today and they had about a hundred of the movie figures on the pegs. They had the first 3 waves as far as I could tell. I almost bought the only Scarlett/black outfit and Shipwreck they had but I passed. Those two looked very cool. They also had a cool looking Paris Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. Also, saw the Cobra Commander and Destro figures. Then they had all the others too but those didn't really impress me that much. The Baroness looked ok but wasn't that cool of a first impression. They are $7.99.

Hey, I went there this morning. Still had a lot of the stuff your photos showed, except for Shipwreck and the two Paris versions of SS and SE. Was Cover Girl there when you saw these? I didn't see her, nor is she shown on any of the figure backs that were still around.


BTW, I bought the only remaining Cobra Commander, Baroness, Scarlett (in high impact suit), Snake Eyes, Breaker, Ripcord, and Heavy Duty... If anything I can see the movie figures still being useable for custom Joes. (ex: Heavy Duty's legs being a good idea maybe for Sgt. Slaughter legs, or Ripcord's power suit maybe could be tweaked to be used for a Sci-Fi)

I didn't see the Covergirl wave there. They had the first 3 waves but only a few of the black suit Scarlett wave. They didn't have the Ice Viper when I was there yesterday. I was very tempted to buy that Scarlett and Shipwreck but I'm going to wait for a sale or clearance. I'm saving up for the 7-Packs and possibly Joecon.

I wasn't really planning on buying much movie stuff myself, but the figures actually are pretty good from what I've bought. They seem to have picked up on a number of the issues people had with the modern Joe stuff with the arms and so on.
Though the hands also seem to be made from a different kind of plastic. For the most part they hold their guns good. Snake Eyes can hold his sword with both hands now too. Though I wish they'd have given him a scabbard on his back for his sword instead of just a very crappy slit on his sash.

I noticed a lack of Ice Vipers myself along with Cover Girl. Maybe someone hit the stuff before either of us got there?

I hope we get the 7-packs of the modern line soon to get it over with (the ebay scalping from overseas crap). Heck, I still need to hold onto money for a number of SDCC exclusives I hope to get. (Online means sadly, not going to SDCC) The Wonder Twins 2-pack for DCUC and all the sets of Marvel Minimates...dang it... My wallet thought it had a break. LOL
