Yeah cause the Accelerator suit scene was a favorite among the crowd when I saw it. Kids seem to have really liked it and didn't care if the CGI wasn't perfect. So while collectors may not have liked it and may not buy the figures, kids will. Other adults and collectors that thought the scene was ok will buy them too and possibly in multiples to let other characters have Accelerator suits. Or to make a new Cobra guy with. Maybe even a cool Sci-Fi custom. Lots of possible ideas.

The accelerator suit looks really sweet with an Ice Viper head (with some facial paints). And, my daughter keeps asking when I'm going to paint some sauce on her Ripcord's helmet.

Had to run an errand at lunch. So, I stop by TRU, hoping to get a NEO viper for my son, a Baroness to do a head-swap with, and any other fodder that might have been left on the shelves.

Instead, I walk out with an Elite Viper, Pit Commando, Flash, two Fireflies and NEO Viper Commando.....BUT NO BARONESS OR NEO VIPER!!!!! I was actually surprised by this. Also , surprised the Fireflies are still on the shelf. Those guys are easily my favorite figure to come out - if, for nothing else, the accessories.

Also was able to score a Darth Krayt SW comic pack - definitely a worthwhile trip.

My Targets are just getting the Helix wave, so those are around and pretty well stocked. I picked up two Flashes. They had six Helixes, two Crimson Neo vipers. I think they just stocked. I also haven't seen a Rex yet and want one badly.

Went to TRU and got ROC Paraviper, Trenchcoat Baroness, PP Stormy, and Stone. Still looking for PP SE, Helix, Flash, and Pit C.

TRU here are like a bomb went off. The nearest one has 1 lone Destro on the pegs. All other figures are gone.

Every Wal-Mart has been a total bust around here. Some of them barely have any movie product. The ones that have a decent amount, all have the extremely common stuff that came in the first coulple of waves. Nothing from any of the latter waves. Same for the Star Wars stuff. When it comes to new product, Target is killing them.

Well went to target with a mailer coupon for $2 off a figure and picked up the only accelerator suit figure they had.

When I checked the non-Joe section they had the S6 firebat knockoff that people are finding, but they also had a Sesame Street playset and some Highschool the musical dolls that had clothes and accessories that could easily work with Joes.

Has anyone found the Wal-Mart exclusives yet?

been looking for the walmart exclusive with no luck. Which figures are they and is there pics somewhere?

Fixed that for you

Oh, and no. I'm going to check out a store tomorrow that should have finished their big reset (literally was moving shelves around on the floor this week lol) and hopefully they'll have something new out.

Went to another TRU, BBq and Firelfys are there, but little else. Found a PP SE (is the white one the variant?) the rest was wave 1 peg warmers. Still no Helix or Flash. Guess I'll have to pay full price later
