Saw the shooter three pack tonight. I think she actually looks fairly decent. But, I didn't pull the trigger. Compared to other recent toys r us offerings of GI Joe, the paint apps seemed a lot better. Unfortunately, Outback and Falcon did nothing for me. Instead, I drowned my sorrows and appeased my credit card by buying another GOT Ghost.

Wouldn't be surprised if I try to stop by tomorrow, if I can. They said they were just unloading a huge shipment so I wouldn't be surprised if more was there.

BBTS took down all the pre-orders until Monday, at Hasbro's request.

Probably giving TRU a chance to put them up online too.

Sioux Falls has/had the 2 packs. Had to limit myself the essentials (Heavy-Duty/Stilleto, Duke/Tombstone) due to the Anime mini-con this weekend.

Yes, I left the Zombies, Ninjas, and Army builder.

_________________

Someone picked up the Heavy Duty/Stiletto set for me.

Hopefully that put me over in points with TRU, now I can get the coupon, and use it when I stop at a TRU on vacation at Thanksgiving.

_________________

I got the shooter 3 pk. Falcon is really stupid to be in the color outfit he's in. Outback I;m not to sure about either but that was all they had 1 pack so I got it

and for a quick review.

Likes:
Dukes Build
90's char fig
Stiletto's fig
Tombstone

Dislikes:
Dukes colors way to bright
Resolute RB gun hard for HD to hold
Stiletto's colors a little off

Biggest Dislike:
Tombstones Bio. 'Psychological warfare'? Really? I dunno, am I missing an angle here? It just does not seem to fit.

Still going to get dupe packs for customs.

Well, he asks you what you want on your pizza. You say something like ham and pineapple. Then you open the box and it's pepperoni and mushrooms.

Psyche!

Been hounding my local TRU. Still nothing. They are terrible at stocking and skip full waves of Marvel Legends and didn't get the Skystriker/HISS set from last year until months after every other store did.

Grabbed the Duke/Tombstone pack today. They also had SE/SS and the IG/Viper pack, but nothing else. Didn't see any shelf tags/space for the 3-packs, though.

Found in SoCal. Got one of everything.

It is one case of each per store per truck, and the 2-packs are ONE per case (case of 5) and 3-packs are 4 of each per case (8 total). Some cases are marked for aisle "8A", but apparently at my local store, (even after the resets) there is no "home location" for these, so they could end up anywhere. This is the case at many stores, from what I hear.

If anyone was wondering, items numbers; 2-packs - 607038, 3-packs - 252016.

This wave will probably be easy to find later on, as I'm not sure if it is attracting the amount of scalpers like previous waves did. I think G.I.Joe is possibly old news by now, looking at the ease of acquiring the SDCC exclusives from the last 2 years, and that this wave was NOT on eBay before it hit stores, like in the past.

Plus, SO MANY people are ordering on-line, that much fewer people will buy them at the store. They are loosing a lot of sales to BBTS, and that will hurt retail sales. YES it's their own fault, but all they will see is lost money.

Their distribution needs to get better.
