I'll be curious to see what stores end up getting these. Southern California is surprisingly light on dollar stores that aren't of the terrifying "everything's 99 cents" variety. I really want to get my hands on these figures!

I'm hoping they'll be at Dollar General. My town's got three of the things. We lost our only Family Dollar, though.

Hoping to see these as well at DG, FD, BL, or Fred's. Pretty sad that I'm more excited about these than most of the movie stuff.

They'll be in every other booth at Frank & Son's for $15 a piece when we do find them.

got my snake eyes yesterday, swapped out and repainted steel brigade delta head. It always bothered me how they just used a repainted commando head for this figure.

i really hope they do more characters with this sub-line, even with minimal tooling I find these guys enjoyable.

That's depressingly accurate. Even more depressing: the fact that I'd totally consider paying that for a couple of them.

Given past history with this area, I don't favor my odds of actually finding these. If anybody finds them, and wants to help me out with three to five of those black Cobra officers, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Any word yet of these hitting state sides, or is everyone showing them off still getting them from overseas?
