The Big Lots here just got stocked. I just got a command center..but they had all 4 versions of the humvees (high top, cargo, jungle and desert), the howitzer, the Marine PBR, the A-10, the tower, and some of the small sets (horse, camp, parachute,kayak and camel) and the troop 3 packs. The one I went to had the command center, but after I got the ones I needed, that depleted the supply. If anyone need any of this stuff and has a Paypal account or can PROMISE me they can pay me back right away (My wife is about to divorce me for overspending on GI joe!) , send me the $$$ and I'll get it for you!

Today I checked over where they put newer toys...nothing but a picture of the PTE shelf layout taped up (they had ones for other sections, too). "Set-up by 8/10"...it said....well, phooey!

Then I go to the regular toy section. WHA-BAM! A-10, Command Center and more right there!

Price rundown for us in the USA (rounded up a penny to whole dollars)

A-10 (looks same as TRU, different box, pilot groundcrewman, accessories) $30
Commander Center (6 rangers, 1 cycle, 1 atv and more) $30
Tank (3 Marine figures and 2 tank barricades) $20
Marine PBR (3 Marines) $13
Desert Buggy (sand rail with 2 Delta figures) $8

That was all they had at least for now. But the shelf diagram showed Watch Towers, the Bridge set, the little bird, Humvees, howitzers and small sets (Kayak and motorcycle, maybe). Plus the 12-inchers. Some have mentions SWAT and Firefighter sets, I'm not certain, but they may be referring to 12" figures...unfortunately. I missed out on those swat sets with walls.

No SEAL PBR boat, no love for them. Bummer. Odd since they could've packed 'em in the same cases.

Nothing new depicted on the photos on back of the A-10 box. But at least they are still making new stuff.

No F-18's or Blackhawk's on the shelf diagram photo. But TRU regularly stocks those year-round anyhow.

Yeah, I got the command center. Haven't opened it yet.

Could somebody please post some pics of this stuff so I can decide if I really want to chase some of this stuff down.
