Hmmm, if possible, that's even worse! At least AT commander could be used as a classic Joe Colton. This guy is completely useless, aside from some kind of Mindbender test subject.

There were three of them, and I left them all behind. Is that supposed to be Steve Austin? That's worse than putting Matt Trakker in the joes...

Found most of a case today. Someone had cherry picked the three troop-builders, but I got the rest of them. It doesn't bother me, as I really am far more interested in the named characters, and I'll pick up a few of the troops when the heat dies down. As I carried off the box, some...

I'm calling my tru tomorrow to see if they got any w3, and if so, she said they could hold a case for me.

True. It might be a pain to wait for the local store or TRU website to get them in, but I don't wonder if I'll ever see them.... unlike most every 4" wave of the last seven years that wasn't W1 of a movie line.

1) 'Drome is a fall release according to Toyfair 2) I went to TRU this afternoon and found three half-cases of series 2 and an empty box of series 3... so it does exist in the wild. I asked a girl about it, and she checked the computer to tell me they sold out earlier in the day. She...

Yeah, I suppose if I knew they were shipping w3 I'd just order online. But that's a big "if". That's what I did for w1, i.e. when I couldn't get the "wrong" one. I ordered about 30, and luckily, I got two of everything, and then beyond that, I got mostly blue shirts and alley vipers. I...

Hmmm, I'm surprised these are out so quickly. I'm not going to lie, I'm seriously "over" the hunt for these things. Single retail outlet, only one in a 75 mile radius, cases are always ravaged/empty/picked-over. There's just no joy in it. I'll end up buying a full set off ebay at 2x the...

I don't know how mattel has become the world's largest toy company. They couldn't find their collective ass with both hands and a flashlight. Yet what does that say about hasbro that they are unable to overtake an inept market leader? I think the key words in the story were "license...

Well, they were getting left out in the cold of the Lego/Kreo/Megabloks feeding frenzy of the last couple of years. It makes sense that they'd want to get a finger in that pie. Of course, I have no faith in their ability to manage a brand, but I have no doubt we'll see Hot Wheels and Barbie...

I say go for it! I'll PM you my address for the royalties ;) No really, that would be funny as shit in a dio comic...

"Attention! Attention! The main dojo will be occupied by the Lebowitz bar mitzvah between 8pm and 10:30pm. All ninjas report to the alternate temple. Everyone must wear red or grey pajamas. Tonight's movie is a representation of Gymkata. Again."

The Joes have no base, just a Battle Platform, and cobra doesn't get the 'drome until fall... but the ninja's have a giant dojo AND an alternate temple, you know, in case the main one is booked for a child's birthday party or something.

Yeah, I would have bought several hisses, far more than the cost of the temple/hiss set. But I wasn't going to buy five temples... furthermore, I'm not really clear on why we needed another ninja dojo to start with. Wasn't one enough?

The COD littlebird and dome HQ are discontinued? On the regular shelf, I also saw a WM-exclusive COD patrol boat that I had not seen in person before.

I dropped into WM this morning for some oil, and I noticed that they had two big racks of clearance toys in the isle. There were some COD megabloks in there, red tag and all. I was excited until I realize that the red tag clearance price was the exact same thing as the regular shelf price...

That kinda makes sense. I saw it first on Zartan, and it was holding the extra head/"mask", so I couldn't figure out why Tomax had a head holder :)

Quick Question: When the f#%$ did Airborne turn asian? Also, Xamot and Zartan both seem to be holding a strange item, some kind of ring with a handle. For the life of me, I don't know what it's supposed to be.

I've never heard of anyone bartering with the WM toy manager before. Bravo.

So what are you planning with all these duplicate sets? Were they giving them away? I don't think I've ever bought multiples of a lego set, other than some Joe Kreo sets just to get the kreons. That looks like two grand worth of plastic bricks... Don't get me wrong, more power to you, but...
