I also forgot to mention that I got 4 Transformers Alternators today another Battle Ravage, Shockblast, Swindle, and WindCharger. Once again I used the 10 dollar rebate coupon and the Alternators were buy two get one free, so really a great deal. I hope I can do this one more time this weekend but it going to be hard to find another coupon.

I had another dry run today. I did find the Kamakura with crotch rocket.....had to pass. I really haven't gotten into the ninja with motorcycle theme. What's stealth about a motorcycle?? My TRU had the Duke/Hummer H1 today. I'll probably get that but I'm waiting for the Crimson Guard six-pack to arrive. Still no new VvV 2-packs though .

The pack isn't that bad cause to me it comes with the best variant of Kamakura. I did pick up three more Transformers Alternators today cause today was the last day of the sale. I got another Swindle and two Silverstreak's, too bad I counldn't find Grimlock or some other new ones.

Well I hit the mother load today! I spent a U.S. Grant at TRU on a variety GIJoe's. I got: 1. Crimson Guard Force, Tomax 6- pack 2. Snake Eyes/ Swamp Rat 3. BombStrike/ Croc Master 4. Cobra Commander/ Link Talbot 5. Cobra Slash/ Cobra Slice After all these dry runs this really was cool. I only bought the Tomax 6-pack even though the Xamot was more plentiful. One Xamot figure there had a bloody nose The Crimson Guards were good, very similar to the Agent Faces mail order but their helmets fit better. The Firefly was okay I guess, I liked the colors. Hasbro must love that mold. I think the Wave 7 Snake Eyes is the best version of this character ever. Same too for Cobra Commander with the removeable helmet and "rag" mask. I really liked "Slash" too, very cool design. It seems that Hasbro really is getting things together only to drop the line....stupid IMO. I just hope TRU will still have a 3.75" line, even if they're just repaints. I guess more news will be out by the late June convention.

Great score now I definitely need to check TRU tomorrow and problaby Target to get some sets like this! It seems like TRU the past two months have made a change for the better I hope they continue to keep it like this!

The ones around me have had them for about a week now. I was surprised when I went into TRU, all the GreenShirt 6-packs were gone and Crimson Guard 6-packs were everywhere. I'm really glad to finally get a big score like this on one stop. I kept an eye on Joesightings( www.joesightings.com/index.php ) and just knew new product was coming soon. I hope your luck is equally as good.

Well I got about everything I could today, that I wanted! Here is what I got: 3 Storm Shadow Comic three packs 3 Serpentor Comic three packs (all of these were found at Target)
These were found at TRU: 3 Snake Eyes vs Swamp Rat 2 Slice & Slash 2 Overkill vs Duke 2 Bombstrike vs Croc Master 2 Cobra Commander vs Link
Overall I spent over 150 bucks and I would have spent more cause I saw the Tomax and Xamot TRU exclusive packs but I had to draw the line. Most likely I will pick them up anyway this weekend. HUGE haul of new stuff! ;D

My favorite problaby is Storm Shadow he has a very glazed look which I like and Serpentor is pretty cool his face goes alittle weird but I sure can appreciate the work that was done to him. What really suprised me with these guys were the new molded heads on Snake Eyes and Firefly which turned out great! Croc Master looks alright but once again this scuplter messes up his waist. Overkill looks very cool but his arm joints don't go right with me and he seems set slightly bent for my taste. Snake Eyes is alright not as great as I expected him but alot better than some of the others that they have done. Cobra Commander's new head is fine and really looks to serve as a pontential Ninja custom in the future.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention today I got both packs of the Crimson Guard Force and another set of the Storm Shadow and Serpentor comic packs. I was also talking to a TRU employee today about some Transformers which turned out to be cool just to meet another adult fan. He told me that he gets a 10 percent discount off anything from the store and that he stores what he wants in the back.

I liked the arm construction on Bombstrike, Croc Master, and Snake Eyes, with the join at the elbow than the upper arm as in the past.

I only saw one compared to many of the other two that were just released. That's cool about the TRU employee. Maybe you can get an inside man there to hold special deals for ya .

I've had my chance on the Destro comic pack but decided to wait on it cause it's not that appealing to me, problaby the next time I have a dry run then I should get it. As for the hookup maybe next time I'll bring it up but he saw me with abunch of joe stuff and didn't offer.

I've hit a few dry runs as of late. My TRU has sold out of all the wave 7's, they sell well around here. There must be adult collectors out here in number. There isn't alot left I'm really crazy about getting but I'm looking forward to the Winter Opertaion and Crimson CC/Baroness throne six pack out in May.
