Found a Cobra Shock Trooper at a TRU Express.

Finally got my hands on a Corps ATK for $19.
It frustrates me that only one Aussie retail chain sells Corps toys, and Joe stuff is even harder to find.

Got my wave 5 today at Walmart...... everyone but BlowTorch.... even scored two blueshirts.

Two Vipers, two Troopers, and a Steel Brigade trooper. Would've been two as well but I'm not even sure I'm keeping him yet.

Found four more blueshirts at walmart today. I blame the unemployment rate for all this Cobra activity here.

Also saw these the other day:



Didn't buy 'em but anyone still looking for them should check their Ross. Dusty was tempting but I've no interest in owning a rockslide of any kind.

I haven't seen the Vipers yet. I'm a little scared about seeing them. I think at one time, I had around 20 of the original '86 Viper. I know that I could get that mania again.

Going to be bad enough with the new Cobra blueshirts - up to 3 now. The Steel Brigade troops are pretty cool! I'm at 3 of those guys as well.


I picked up all of these vehicles. Ugh, vehicles are pretty bad. I even picked up the "lava pod" - based in the dumbest vehicle ever! The Volcano Viper is pretty cool. If I see another lava pod, I'm getting it just for the driver. Driver - yeah right - he can't fit in the stupid thing!

It has been a good week for Joe figures - 3 Cobra blueshirts, 3 Steel Brigade, 2 General Hawk, 1 Jungle BAT and 1 Cobra Commander (should have passed on CC...).

I haven't seen any of the new joes hit the shelves around Tennessee yet, however I did grab Captain America (movie version), Red Skull, and Crossbones.

IMO I think the new Vipers are a LOT better than the 86 look ones.. plus their heads are all chromed and hands pivot. CC is great for DIO type items though and even looks better with a chrome head from Charbroil in the ROC line.
