Strange toy day today. Normally, I find most of my Joe figures at Target rather than TRU. This is fine by me as I find TRU usually upsells their merchandise by $5 over Target.
Today, though, I found more stuff at TRU and only disappointment at Target. Went to the Target across my work for lunch and was super excited to see the one solitary Dragonhawk I have seen in my area. I was about to head for the checkout with it, then, I noticed that it was RoadBlock in the window. I thought it was strange that Hasbro would package RB with the Helo, but I was still excited so I wasn't thinking straight and just marched off to the checkout line singing my "I got a Dragonhawk toy" song. Fortunately, as I was standing in line, I turned the package around and saw the WildBill file card, informing that I was holding a Repack. I thought about getting it still since I figured I have a spare WildBill somewhere in the old toy chest, but I was afraid that the vehicle itself might have also been tampered with in some fashion and just dropped it of at the Customer Service Counter. After work, I had to pick up a babyshower present, and was in the Chino Hills, California area so I decided to go to TRU/BRU over there. Upon checking the GI Joe aisle, I found the DVD sets 3-5. As I posted earlier, I had previously passed on 3 and 4, since I had not been able to find set 5 anywhere so that I felt it would be a waste to pay full price for the sets when there was a chance of getting them half off at ROSS. However, given that there was now a 5 in the mix, I figured I might as well complete the set. Still, I bothers me that I paid full for these especially since I was able to get my first set of 5 at ROSS thanks to the heads up from HISSTANK. As far as new ROC figures, this TRU did not have any except for this one sole Reactive Armor Ripcord that I purchased. I got him mostly for his gear, and because I had earlier purchased Reactive Armor Heavy Duty (again for his gear) and felt he might be lonely; besides I think my Joe Army needs to be more racially diverse. Finally, I checked out Big Lots before heading home to see if I can find any custom fodder. No luck there, but I was able to pick up this G1 Devastator. Complete knock off but serviceable since I never had all the Constructicons when I was a kid. Last edited by laurenluna1977; 02-18-2010 at 05:36 PM.. |

Forgot to mention. For those in the SoCal area, the Chino Hills TRU has another Set 3 available with Dusty with straps, for those that are interested.

Yup. I was almost a victim of purchasing a Repack since the propsect of getting a Dragonhawk Jedi mind-tricked me to seeing everything was okay. Luckily, the Darkside made me suspicious, and made me look again so that I didn't pick it up.
