Both Target and WM had restocked today. They had all the figures, but I discovered something...$10 is just more than I'm willing to pay for a mass released figure. I'm not getting on some "Hasbro is greedy!" or similar soapbox...I'm sure there are very legitimate reasons for the current price. And they're good figures, too. And I have plenty of disposable income, I just couldn't pull the trigger. I knew I was approaching my "what I'll pay for a 3.75" figure" ceiling, but I guess I've found it.

I did pick up the three packs, though...better value, and I really wanted that Firefly.

But... That Black Dragon Ninja, tho.

I too found a restock at Target. I picked up Cyber ninja, but passed on everything else. I am just underwhelmed with the offerings and have lost my "wow" factor and find it hard to spend $10 bucks a pop....

Last year when wave 1 hit, my wife bought all of the single packs except for the joe trooper. I took most back, keeping only zartan, roadblock, cobra trooper, and cobra commander. I later found a joe trooper and picked him up. To date the only one I have opened is the joe trooper. The rest are still on card in the bag and may end up being returned. Just not feeling the excitement.

I think a large part is the price, plus I do not see or feel how they fit into my joe-verse. ROC fit a lot better with Night Adder, gung ho, copperhead, and the strato vipers and such. Retaliation I am having a hard time tying it together in my mind. Plus, how many more SE and SS can I sustain?

Only one I haven't found that i still want is Bruce Willis Colton.

I really like the new Alley Vipers. Grabbed four of those.

Shadow Ninja's cool, too. Calling him Black Dragon.

Now if only Blind Master, Night Vipers and Kwinn make it out...

That was the only one that really tempted me. I may have done it, too, if they had stuck with using the spin-kick Storm Shadow (ala Ryu from Ninja Gaiden) head that they showed when it was in prototype stages.

I've hit that wall as well. I found Shadow Ninja and Colton at Kmart yesterday... I was willing to pay 10 for the ninja but not for Colton.

Only 1 Target has restocked with the wave 2/2.5 figures so far and the other stores still have wave 1.

1 of 2 K-Marts has restocked(the other store still hasn't got any Joe's).

TRU has restocked once already.

All my WM's restocked over the weekend, but it's that wave 1/wave 2 revison wave at Walgreens. With the wave 2 figures and wave 1 carry overs...CC, Joe Trooper, Red Ninja, Cobra Trooper and the pegs are packed, so it may be awhile before I'll see any new waves at WM.

I found the Ninja Duel Snake Eyes and Joe Trooper today. Both are really fantastic figures. I'm now pretty much just looking for Colton, who I haven't seen yet. My plan is to pop an Outback head on him, though. Really looking forward to the big wave in May.

These are pretty fine figures.
