Yes, that line. Pretty neat figures. I wish that the Secret Wars line had been like that back in the days.
They should cost $10, not $18. At this point, the industry is pricing kids out of the action figure business.

Amazon (via USPS) dropped off the Classified Viper 3-pack. Th figures are the same as the first release, just in different colors. The regs are in the same color scheme but the tones are more muted which is a nice look. They have a lived-in feel about them. The Officer is done in the gray/maroon/gold color scheme from the old ARAH days and really works on this new figure. But the big draw here is the accessories. Five rifles, three pistols and a very nice variety of blast effects. The effects can be stacked together to create different looks and they fit well in the included weapons.

The "Jurassic World: Dominion" sets are from Amazon, the "Halo" Skirmisher is from adrienveidt.

I've pretty much wiped out the gamestops in the area since my son wants Fortnite figs for his upcoming birthday and Christmas. Checked Ross today and snagged the Battle Bus for 30 bucks. I can't wait for him to open it in a couple months.

Went away for the weekend for our anniversary, and came back to quite the mail haul from BBTS, Hasbro Pulse, and eBay (found Obi-Wan, Boba, & Cobra at Target along the way)

Had to get the Halo figs from a seller in Canada - not sure if we'll ever see them show up here.

I've seen the Marvel figures at Target for around $12.
The Reaction G.I.Joe's are closer to $20, which is way too much for a 5 POA figure.

the Reaction ones are bizarrely overpriced too

Agreed. How do they even determine the pricing like that? Beyond supply and demand, that is.

At this point, I think all adult collectors need to accept that labor and material costs have gone up...and corporations are beholden to their stockholders--who do not give two poops and just want the line to always be going up.

MU figures were 12$....6 years ago now. It's not the same world.

Super 7 raised the price on ReAction figures to $20 now...Lots of figures I want...but not at that price....speaking of Price..I will buy the new Vincent Price ReAction figure though.

Got a few Star Wars TVC figures from Amazon (Remnant Stormtroopers and Episode 2 Anakin) and Antoc Merrick's astromech from Pulse.

Also got the Classified Snake-eyes & Timber v.2 set from Pulse.
