i went to Target today because i know they get their JOE's on thursday night's truck, found a single chrome-logo SnowJob which is not a bad score.
i was running short on time, but i said screw it and went to the Toys R' Us across the highway. i see the new 25th TRU exclusive 5-pack's, the SE w/ 4 red ninja and ther night camo Cobra troopers (both $24.99, ouch) i passed on those to find this next stuff. Now, i have not bought a SIGMA6 figure in about 6 months. What do i see that i am looking around the store waiting to see if i am getting Punk'd, but 1 Zartan, 2 Snake-Eyes w/ grey Timber (which i left all)and these 3. for some strange reason they list two on the receipt as "storm shadow" and the other as just whatever. I got a silver cape for $10.59!! all wave 4, 2006 1. Lt.Stone 2. Storm Shadow (grey pants variant) 3. and this is the real crazy one, Cobra Commander (SILVER CAPE VARIANT!!) I could not believe my eyes. I do not know what happened, maybe overstock hidden for two years??sent to this store from another?? i'm dumbfounded right now, but it's amazing that i even found these at retail. I still do not believe it. Last edited by STORM SHADOW; 03-14-2008 at 07:48 PM.. |

Yup, this seems to be quite the recurring windfall.
But I can't understand how everybody's finding the variant CC now. I'm starting to think the only reason the silver cape CC was so rare in the first place was because this wave had disappeared somewhere.

SS, I wouldn't say they're worthless, because everyone that's finding them is picking them up instantly, but whereas the value would be, on lets say, yellow stalker before...it's now on a black timber scale...if that makes any sense.
Still, great finds nonetheless! |

If not, then you think TRU held an entire 2006 wave 4 SIGMA6 run in it's warehouses? update: Hold on, you might be right. For about a year there was almost nothing on ebay. Now there are about 6-7 of each on ther right now all of a sudden. That stinks because i have a decent SIGMA collection that might be devalued if they start having access to it's harder to find figures ( and i bought a few in the secondary market, so i'll be at a loss).

Yeah, these are showing up pretty much everywhere, there are dozens of sightings over on JoeBattleLines.
Doesn't appear to be a "lost" assortment either, because the package date stamps indicate that these figures were in the production cycle in early '08. Strange findings, but cool as well. Justin |

I found them at a couple of TRUs as well. Nice because I've wanted to pick up a Zartan.
