In Dedham, Joes are now reduced to a tiny single peg of Renegades CCs which is basically squished out of sight at the end of their aisle with random clearance junk. Sad indeed.

I hit the North Attleboro TRU and noticed some stuff moved around also. No Avengers that I could find but the Cap/Thor/IM stuff was moved and in it's place was empty space, presumably for the Avengers stuff.

Oh, and if yo want to army build Renegades CC, they had about 8. And 2 Renegades Firefly. One Crimson Hiss if anyone is looking.

If anyone sees the 12" Firefighter on clearance, I'd be interested. I saw the paratrooper on clearance in the Coventry, RI Walmart so some stores may start discount that line. My daughter's Barbies need a new love interest besides metrosexual Ken and fish-loving Prince Eric.

Looking forward to seeing a huge GIJOE movie display of tons and tons of figures (I hope, lol) in the front of the store once the movie comes out, even if I am going to be buying just a handful of them.

Agreed on the TrU price of Prime toys, that's why unless it's an exclusive or a TrU has the only one, I'm sticking to Target for now on those, $20 for the voyagers and $12 for deluxes, though for this series, both are smaller than those traditional classes.

Also agreed on being excited about the new movie line. Not a huge lot that I want, but enough.

Hoping to hit up southern MA and Northern RI on Saturday, anyone know where I can score a Law & Order and/or Sci-Fi?

TRU in Peabody has the first wave of Avengers figures and vehicles. They also have Air Tight, Life Line, and Techno Viper.

Good luck, most of our area down here has been picked over, but your best bet is to hit any Stop & Shop and Walgreens you see, or call ahead to a Target with the DPCI# and check.

Saw those garbage avengers last weekend, but the wave 4 case must be new- did you pick any up? Grab me that Techno Viper if you're in the area again anytime soon (if they're not already gone!) Will be in Peabody Saturday night if you wanted to meet up?

I just got home and finished playing with my "crappy" new Avengers toys, lol! I got the new movie Cap, Hulk, Loki, Ult. Thor, and the smaller jet. I actually like them a lot. They only had one of each of the Joe's but if they're still there next time I go I'll pick you up one.

Thanks buddy- I appreciate it.

lol sorry I'm really just being an articulation-spoiled jerk about those avengers toys after the awesome stuff we've been getting with the 30th joes, If that's what you're into then power to you! I just wished both them and the new movie joes quality & articulation matched the dollar or two more that retail is charging us for them.

I went to a bunch of places in the Natick/Framingham area yesterday and found nada. I assume you keep tabs on that area Air-Tight?

I did see those avengers toys. Looks to me like all they did was repackage figures from the Iron Man, Capt Am, and Thor movie lines.
