I got 2 packs of Scarlett & Switch Gears really one for my niece cause I've got her playing with the girl joes now. ;D I also got 2 more packs of Night Creeper and Cobra Ninja Trooper just to have more ninjas. I also bought more Transformers reissue's at discounted prices, all this stuff was at TRU. That's cool that your niece is into Joes. I'm still running empty with any new figures, it's really dry out here. How are the Transformer toy now, are they popular with kids or is it just us twenty/thirtysomethings that are buying them? I'm still disappointed by the "hiatus" of the 3.75" line. Hopefully they'll keep the line in some form, even if it's just TRU repaints. I'm sure they'll be back, especially with all the newer molds in the last few years......that's still wishful thinking on my part. They do seem to sell rather well everywhere I go, that's why I'm kinda surprised they cut the line.  |

I have seen more kids on the Transformers than joes in my past history of shopping so I'm not sure about them? The Joes do great in Target and Walmart where I live and in the last month TRU has finally gotten it right with the price and have been selling out because of me and some other collectors. I just hope this Sigma Six line falls flat and they QUICKLY come back to the 3 3/4 line! I will not support it and hope to have the courage not to buy the Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow scupts. |

I found this news from TNI/ADC helpful with all the news/rumors regarding the 3.75" line, toynewsi.com/index.php?itemid=6248 . I did notice the comic pack with Storm Shadow, Snake Eyes and Red Ninja Viper. I haven't bought any comic packs, but I'll pick this one up. BTW, that AM General Hummer/Humvee looks cool too. |

Oh I'm sure that comic pack with Storm Shadow will be unseen by most. The more I see that Sigma Six the more I'm hating it!  I just can't believe Hasbro would actually put off the 3 3/4 line for that crap.  |

I just can't believe Hasbro would actually put off the 3 3/4 line for that crap. I have to say I really don't hate the Sigma Six line, but I don't see myself buying it for any reason. I really don't understand why Hasbro would ditch the entire 3.75" line. I'm still hoping the TRU repaints continue, I have to say I've bought more of these then the main (VvV) line over the last year. With all these new molds they created over the last few years I'm hopefully this hiatus will be brief. Hopefully more news will come out soon, especially with the GIJoe convention coming in June. |

Cool!!! Where did you find them at? One of my local Targets. They still didn't have the newer two-packs though . All the figures were cool (for repaints). I liked the Serpentor the most since his snake helmet comes off. |

Today I found the Kamakura wiht Ninja Lighting Cycle pack, only two though. I also bought some Transformers really for my nephew's Easter basket, TRU had a buy 2 Energon get one free deal. I also got a new Transformers Alternator Shockblast which has the G1 Shockwave looks very cool, I totally getting into the Alternator's line cause the really aim for the adult collectors. TRU has a spend 50 or more and get a 10 dollar gift card which I did so all these came with about a 20 percent discount. If I can find another TRU coupon I will do this again with the intent on buying more Alternators unless I see some new joes. |

That's cool that the Transformer community really has the adult collectors in mind. I wish Hasbro would continue a line for their adult collectors too. I missed that coupon , and I'm heading to TRU soon too. |

I'm not really to big on these I like the Cobra theme but they just didn't turnout the way I would have like them with those ugly head scuplts on the female and Cobra Commander. The artic troops don't really appeal to me cause of all the crazy colors, but I should buy at least one of each and maybe more if I like what I see in person. |

Hey they listened when we wanted the O-ring, what could it hurt. 
I just can't believe Hasbro would actually put off the 3 3/4 line for that crap.
