Maybe now we can get solid confirmation on things like articulation, whether or not that handle is fused to Roadblock's hand...

I want probably 4 of the Cobra and GIJoe troops. Probably more of the GIJoe guy. Zartan looks like great LBC custom fodder too along with being a cool figure.

The same meijer also got the newest Hoth Luke wave of Star Wars Vintage.
This is sounded more fishy, really the same place get's two complete waves earlier then anyone else?


Doesn't retaliation have a Street date for the end of May anyway?

Grocery market stores don't abide by street dates for toys, so it's very possible for them to get them early and put them out for sale.

Meijer isn't a grocery store persay, it's just like Wal mart and Target. The One's I've been to in the upper Mid-west have bigger toy departments then the Super Targets.

The Zartan is a surprise winner for me. I like him more and more each time I see him.

I also hope that the $6.97 price tag wasn't some sort of mistake.

Street dates on toys is just silly. Then again, I barely support street dates on video games and DVDs anyway, but TOYS? I thought Hasbro saw these as things for kids with us collectors making up a measly 2% of buyers? Street dates on toys are just silly.

I'm not going to go hunting. In a month these figures will be piled everywhere.

Seems like some guy in Ohio found them too.
He's asking a Buy it Now of $200 for each figure on Ebay. :roll:

Yeah, good luck with that.

But knowing the usual eBay crowd, and the Youtube "reviewers" who want to be the first, I bet someone actually will pay it just so they can do their video review 3 weeks before everyone else.

TNI has pix of that Zartan. While I still like him, his light pipes don't seem to fit his head, and the knife on his chest looks to be just for show. His chest harness and his cowl seem to be one piece. Odd. His head sculpt has a good, creepy look to it but doesn't look like Vosloo. He come with heads for Snake Eyes, Stormshadow, and... Unus the Untouchable? Data from Star Trek? Dunno.

The light pipe kinda kills it for me.
Looks like he has a big plate on his head.

Unfortunately, nothing we've seen from the movie indicates Arnold Vosloo is in it anywhere... The IMDB cast listing is the only source that says he is but that could be an error they haven't corrected/pulled. Everything OFFICIAL so far indicates its only Jonathan Pryce as Zartan (as POTUS).

I loved Vosloo as Z in RoC, I really wanted him to return in Retaliation. :sad:
