Hey all,
As of 10:30 this morning, Wal Mart on Post has two Black Dragons, and one Vamp. Benny's on Warwick Ave (Next to Salvation Army)has two IGs, Two heavy gunner Destros, and the Wave 3 ROC Alpha vehicles. Hope this helps!

It certainly is. At around 7.5', it hardly fits across the floor in my small apartment. Woke up this morning to cross the room and shut off my alarm clock, and just missed hitting the edge of a skystriker's wing in the dark! The ME figures look great on it, the only areas that are a bit tight are the chairs inside the tower, the lower deck balcony at the stern, and the fuel truck seat- you just need to reposition the figures to fit properly. (all of which were designed for O-ring joes too, understandably.)

The shear scale of the USS FLAGG is something that will not be seen every again. It shows the power of GI Joe in the early/mid 80's for Hasbro to produce something that huge. It is a pipedream to have Hasbro retool certain areas to fit ME figure and re-release it. While everyone wants one, the price point would be too high for a majority of collectors. I know Star Wars fans would love to have a Jabba's Sail Barge of that scale.
On another note, I'm sold on Renegades figures. I just read the reviews on GeneralJoes.com and I didn't think I'd like the figures going in. But I'm sold on particularly on Duke, who has the best Duke headsculpt and Firefly. Even though Resolute Single Carded Duke and ROC TRU Firefly are my definitive versions, these come darn close. With Wave 1 already on pegs it must only be a short time before we see cases of Renegades figures show up. |

I came back from running around Warwick.
1. Benny's in Warwick near Walmart no longer has the Two IG's I bought them with the mindset if I purchase them more well come. As such the entire 30th wave is gone. They should be new figures there in a week or so. 2. Walmart now has only one black Helicopter. They have no new stuff to report but seems to be getting delivery's of the vehicles quick. I bought a Vamp on Saturday and they already have another. This is the one near Aldrich. 3.Target in the mall has skystrikers 34.99 and the Ultron wave of the Marvel Universe. Got myself a Dr. Doom and Ultron figure. They also had Falcon. DCUC Lex Luthor, Flash, and Scarecrow from the color lantern wave. 4. Toys R Us Two Iron Grenadiers and the skystriker which goes for 40 bucks. A whole bunch of Marvel Universe but nothing new or big to report. DCUC Atom and White Hal from the Color Lantern wave. I also bought the X-men Destiny game to get a 25 dollar gift card. Went to biglots and they didn't get any new PTE stuff in but I bought myself another little bird. I love them better than I like the Joe ones. |

Reading all the posts about how Hasbro should re-release the flagg is one thing, but after swinging by Airtight's place and seeing this monster in person, There is absolutely no way this could be recreated and priced at anything people could afford.

At least it is not as bad as the general or the mobile command vehicle - you look at them cross eyed and the tabs brake off.

I'm planning to hit the North Attleboro Target later this morning but I'm not expecting much. A couple Arctic Destros, some Sky Strikers and those 12" figures no one wants. I'm just hoping they still have those Lego mini-figure mystery packs. |
