I saw that, but the dude still hasn't posted a receipt to verify. Until then, I'll remain skeptical... Would be cool if they've started hitting though.

Reciept top of page 8. Looks legit.

Yeah, I just saw the pic. Well, I'm more inclined to believe it's true now, but it would be nice if "Retaliation" was in the description on the receipt. The price point is a little low for movie figs too. Usually they're higher due to the movie production company getting a percentage of the profits of the toy line.

Hopefully, someone can verify whether or not the UPC codes allotted to them are new and legit.

The price point is still surprising. That seems really cheap compared to recent prices of Joe lines. Not that I'm complaining if they are in fact that price!

the price is the biggest thing for me. especially with seeing the SW figures on receipt are 9.99 there.

i was pretty sure they wouldnt be that 10 buck price. Target will lower their price. i am sure.

Same. I need to secure Rockblock a set of the new hands and a goddamn Sgt. Savage MG!

Walmart is still selling them at 6.97. *shrugs*

it is shocking considering Meijer isn't cheap on their toys. maybe the old ones were at that price and the new ones weren't scanning so he had them adjusted, or even price matched from another store.

Perfectly reasonable theory as these are probably breaking street date.

i am sure that the reason target is at that pricepoint now is they have sold all they pre-agreed to sell order of the 30th/Rene line to be able to get low price to sell low price. Walmart did not, they preordered alot more. New movie line means new bulk pre-order for target which means price comes back down.

I'm thinking this is mostly an error on Mejiers' part. The rest of us will get them at the end of May as scheduled.

I really hope that price point sticks. Hasbro's doing right with it.

And deny myself the thrill of the toy hunt?

Probably not. It's gonna be everywhere in due time.

Though you may be able to talk me into a Rockblock. I'm chomping at the bit to get to work on him.

I haven't even paid attention to Joes at WM in a long time as they've the same Renegades CC and FF forever now.

Dude, like KT, I'm chomping at the bit to get that RB. I wouldn't mind getting a Red Ninja along w/the Cobra and Joe Troopers.

am i the only one that could give two sh!ts about this movie garbage?

Nah, I'm with you. I was much more excited for the RoC figs. I will buy zero of these at $10 a pop, and will be very selective even at Wally's or TRU's BOGO prices. There are no "must haves" for me in this line.

Again, we need a damn +1 button here. :thumbsup:

When it all ends up at discount stores, I'll debate getting any figures. And there's only one way I'm watching that movie....:pirate:

I'm champing at the bit to get a few but none are must haves. I'm gonna pass on most of these guys. Roadblock's gotta get new lower legs and hands, and I'll go for the red ninjas to replace the 25th ones I have. And at least one of that new Joe trooper, if only for the new head sculpt.

Haven't found a set I like yet, though Shock Trooper's might work.

May just put a set of Unimax or Bbi boot feet on him.

I've got one too, just not sure I like the look. Really wish they'd knock off the knee pads, or do them like the PoC Duke legs.

I'm planning on giving Rockblock the Heavy Duty legs as well. Although, I think I'm going to sand off the pockets and give him a drop leg holster and and mag pouches. Then, I'll swap out the head-sculpt w/one of my BnB Sarges and possibly give him some knee pads. I might make an ARAH accurate Sarge too.
