So, I'm wandering around the cheap-o stores trolling for possible 1/18 scale scores, when I come across this:
No helmet and is a Venom vs Valor figure, but it kind of surprised me. There were about 8 different ones. Here's one of the others: Very generic-looking figure. Almost looks like it could be from another line of knock-off toys. Anyways, it struck me when I got home where I had seen this packaging before: I borrowed this picture off of eBay (I'm sure there's no one on this site who cares). This guy is selling this figure for $9.99 w/ free shipping. I've seen it on other sites going for $11 or $12 dollars. Now, I'm unsure of the collectible value of something like this with or without the $3 price tag, but check out Dollar General and Family Dollars for these things. There was a [poop]-load of these things there, and if you're into the old body styles and want to army build or if you just wanna buy them up and gouge people on eBay, check it out. Never know what you're gonna find! Happy hunting!

pretty common in my neck of the woods. I picked up a few of the beachheads that look to be from the tru night force. Usually run 2 to 3 bucks. My DG use to carry the VvV figs for a 1 ea as well. The Ace in that run ahd the helmet though.

Way old news..
These are all ovee the Dollar Generals here... I planned on picking up some but still haven't. I know a lot of people who won't buy these due to the fact they have no weapons. |

Most of 'em are repackaged single-carded VvV that you could get at Family Dollar for $2 bucks, and the FD ones came with accessories.
Never understood what Hasbro was going for with the release of that series. Very strange stuff. No way I'd spend more then 3 bucks for 'em.

I actually saw some of those toys at the Dollar Tree. I think it is just like the Dollar General. But, not to sure.
