TRU in Pineville this morning had several of the TRU exclusive Snow Serpent and Bench Press. I was tempted, but I picked up the last Attack on the Pit gift set instead.
K-Mart across the street didn't have much to choose from as far as single figs or vehicles. They did have several of the overpriced exclusive 4 pack though.

Visited a few Durham stores yesterday. TRU had no Bench Press or Snow Serpent. They did, surprisingly, have the Star Wars TIE Interceptor, though. They were also doing 25% off of the Halo Mega Blox sets and I had a $5 coupon to stack on top of that, so I got the Scorpion tank for $20. K-Mart had nothing beyond wave 2, and Target (both of 'em) had nothing of interest. Wal-Mart on 15-501 did have the black and white Marvel Legends Punisher which I've been looking for since summer.
On a non-GI Joe note, does anybody have a good lead on how to get a Star Wars Build-A-Droid Darktrooper without being completely robbed? They're going for over $40 on eBay, and there's no way I'm buying all of the Wal-Mart sets at $17 a pop just to get one figure. I'd go as high as $30, but that's my absolute maximum.

Wal-Mart had some new Joe displays set up today in the middle aisle kiosks (I think these are the same that were seen in the DVD section of Walmart by anther tanker) They had assorted figures from waves 1 through to the Black coat Rex wave

A friend picked up a Benchpress and Snow Serpent the other day. My Benchpress also has one black and one green knee pad. Who did we decide this character was a mashup of...Rock N Roll? Completed Wave 4 yesterday at the new Wal-Mart in Stafford, VA. It's been a while since I was actually excited about finding something. Has anyone found a way to get WM to price match Target? Was Target's change to $5.99 ever in a sales paper?

Nothing on my end today. I am still looking for wave 4 AND 5..............
So far WM has been uncooperative with the Target price cut and no, no one that I am aware of has got them to match prices. |

I have yet to find that figure. Want to do a trade for the Destro?
A friend picked up a Benchpress and Snow Serpent the other day. My Benchpress also has one black and one green knee pad. Who did we decide this character was a mashup of...Rock N Roll? Completed Wave 4 yesterday at the new Wal-Mart in Stafford, VA. It's been a while since I was actually excited about finding something. Has anyone found a way to get WM to price match Target? Was Target's change to $5.99 ever in a sales paper? Bench Press is indeed Rock 'n Roll, as they both share the name Craig McConnel. I have yet to see Charbroil from wave 4, but I've found everybody else by visiting none other than Walgreen's. Prices are hella steep at $10.99, so the only one I picked up was the white coat Rex. K-Marts in the Raleigh area still have nothing new. I seriously regret not getting City Strike Snake Eyes when it was on Hasbrotoyshop. |

In some Q&A Hasbro said that it was supposed to be R&R, but the name didn't translate well to the international market, so they named him Bench Press. They said the file card name was a typo they forgot to change. |

Well, what would make the deal work for you?

![]() Thx MrClean! I'm sorry but that is not a good enough answer to my Why. Rock N Roll doesn't translate that well but obviously stupid does.

Either way, a simple B&B Sgt. Slaughter headswap makes a great Sarge figure and leaves a brown bearded Clutch head to be used for a bearded Breaker. I tried putting R&R's head on it, but it was too small. |
