All my Targets put these out!
The 1 Walmart I went to was already sold out! The other didn't stock them but I found the case in the garden stock area. They wouldn't help me get them. Instead I was told come back tomorrow.
So between 2 Targets...
2 Red Ninja
2 Joe Troopers both tan (maybe blue is at Walmart or TRU?)
black CC
both 3 packs
2 Cobra Troopers
The sad part was the clearance Joes were completely gone. I know they didn't sell them all. I was hoping for some cheap Skystrikers. I wonder if they sold them to Goodwill? Target does that but usually not so quick.

I think they'd get back to Tuesday Morning or Ross stores first.

Just picked up blue CC and ninja dojo @ tru north haven ct. So the blue CC is rare?

this is what I did.

Thanks guys. I will keep a lookout for the 3-pack too. If I get my hands on it, I will also try this out as well.

Am hoping that the stuff doesn't get pulled from shelves before I get a chance.

It looks like the Retaliation figures are selling pretty well. I hit up 5 Targets this weekend and most of them only had Roadblock, Snake Eyes, and Storm Shadow on the pegs. Oddly enough, I found the 3-packs to be the best figs overall and the $20 price point is a better value. The 3-packs are loaded with better accessories, instead of over-sized launchers. I didn't care for Kamakura or the Red Ninja after seeing the initial pics, but I found myself messing around with those figs the most last night. I kind of wish Hasbro would make a modern-era Kamakura based on his 1st appearance in the comics, but the 2 movie figs we've gotten so far are decent kit-bashes of existing parts.

I'm still on fence with the Ninja AWE Striker, but I might break down and get just for the new parts. BTW, did anyone notice how bland and generic the new packaging looks? I literally walked past an end cap 3 times because from a distance, it doesn't catch my eye as Joe packaging. I guess there's something to be said about individual character art.

Yes, it looks just like The Corps! crap that they're right next to at Walmart.

I didn't even notice the Joes at first either. That is some stinky packaging.

I used the hands from the jungle viper on my RB.

If you want hands,Onyx @ OnyxPhoenix productions has the 3-pack RB hands cast in his store.

I don't think those are the 3-pack RB, the detailing is different.

I don't think they will pull stuff on shelves. They will probably just stop shipping cases.

That's what I said when I saw the Toy Fair pics! :-)

I apologize if this is old news, but the new Joe trooper I bought last night at Target had tan-colored mask, cloak, and scarf instead of blue. I wasn't aware of this variant, and I like it a lot better.

Also, rip those holsters off the troopers backpack and you've got 4 sweet holsters for customs! The Marauder tactical pistol fits great in the larger holster.

I love the Joe Troopers, I'm building an army, Hopefully I can find a blue one, just one.
Tan Troopers, I buy all I see.

All I want is 1, don't care what color scarf, but have not seen a single one yet

I found some at Wal-Mart and Target today I found a black outfit Cobra Commander but no blue one. Seems like the troopers (Cobra and GIJoe), Zartan, and Cobra Commander are selling best. Roadblock looks like the "Duke" of this line. Each store I saw them in had at least 6 Snake Eyes (at Target and more at Wal-Mart) and 3 to 6 Storm Shadows. Roadblock was 6 to 8 figures. Saw 2 Duke figures at one Wal-Mart and 1 at Target. Red Ninja seems to be a seller too. I got 1 the other day and haven't seen any more. Wouldn't mind 2 more.

Vehicles look to be either least amount of items they got in so there's nothing more to reset the shelf, or they are just selling that well. No HISS tanks where the other day I did see some after I got my 1. The only thing left really is the motorcycles, the boat, the AWE Striker, the knife/gun, and the Snake Eyes sword.
