Lucked out and one of the local TRU's had some of the Movie stuff. Got Heavy Duty in Armor, Ripcord in Accelerator suit, Shipwreck, Firefly, Sgt Stone and Deep six. They had more, but I didn't like Scarlett, Desert Duke, Cobra Commander, Either Version of Storm Shadow (too "Reloaded" looking for me!) or the Vipers (look like Cleitus from Flash Gordon!). And what is this Zartan? Ughn? BBQ is like a neon yellow. Are BBQ, Shipwreck and Deepsix (Torpedo) even in the movie?

They also had the new armadillo (called the Panther), the new ferret, the Bora machines (wanted one, but NOT forking over $16.99 for one!) The Pit, the new snow mobile (nice, but $16.99!) The noght raven and the gunship (for like $22). It's bad enough the movie is Probably gonna suck, but can they quit gouging us at the register?

The good news is Target has ever other GI Joe on clearence....bad news is, the E-scalpers have drained most of the targets here dry!

Oh, I just opened Deep Six and I keep thinking "DOCTOR" Fumbles!! LOL

Here's my grab... don't ask how much I spent ;

ROC
Firefly
Duke (desert)
Ripcord (D-6 suit)
Shipwreck
"Deep-Six" (its really Torpedo)
Covergirl
Heavy Duty (green camo)
Snake Eyes (without Trench Coat)
Destro
Baroness
Viper Commando (X's 2)
Neo Viper (X's 2)
Zartan

APV Humvee w/ Nitro Viper
ATV (4-wheeler) w/ Scrap-Iron (X's 2)
Gun Ship w/ Firefly (X's 3)
Night Raven w/ Strato-Viper


I feel like I'm forgeting stuff, but I think thats it.

Is for constructive criticism (will even settle for destructive) just anything but "Nice shot" or "Awesome".

Hunted around, got the following:

ROC Breaker (second for custom)
ROC Destro (can anyone explain why that big gun breaks in two?)
ROC Viper-Commando (second one)
ROC Firefly (essentially a resolute trooper with FF head. Excellent for customs)
ROC Barbeque (sp?) (with two guns.. now he can put out fires and shoot survivors if they're cobras)
25th Tripwire (for customs)

There was nothing else new at Target or TRU in terms of figures. However, lots of vehicles. I almost got the Steel Crusher, but primary reason, this week I need to continue army building Resolute Troopers, and the second reason is I didn't like the ROC figure with the vehicle. But maybe I might break down and buy it tomorrow.

I'm looking forward to that one, FF! I think there's a lot of potential, but the stock vehicle is lacking.

Picked up new ROC stuff....Steel Crusher, Baroness, Duke in reactive Armor, Scarlett in Reactive Armor and an Ice Viper. I dunno about you guys, but the guy that came with the Steel Crusher, shouldn't he be a Alley Viper vice a Nitro Viper? His vehicle is for Urban Combat.......
