People on other sites are reporting that they are showing up already.
There are some price increases too.
There is a new UAV set! Image
Big Lots trip for me tomorrow then. ;-)

That UAV looks pretty cool. Here's hoping that some of the overseas stuff actually makes it over here, rather than the usual fare.

UAV is pretty cool, looks about the size of a Raven.
I have felt the Joes have needed a UAV operator for a while now, but one of the bigger combat variants.
I can see somebody named Uplink sitting in the Pit in a virtual cockpit manning a drone over Siera Gordo engaged in a dogfight with a remote piloted Firebat.....

You got me thinking about it right now. But not one of these IDW-assign-stupid-weird-names-to-cannon-fodder-type characters.

Pretty cool, but I'd hate to spend $10 on a pack just for the drone, was there anything else new at Big Lots ?

Actually Mainframe and the new female Dial-tone used drones like this in the IDW comic. At least I think it was Mainframe and Dial-tone. I do know they used weapons equipped drones for a mission in the comic.

I had it in-hand and made this exact same decision myself, not worth it.

Maybe MJ will end up selling these at some point individually?

I've had one on my team for awhile named RC and used some old micro machines as his drones.

There's a pretty in scale drone in the die cast plane line that Wal-Mart (and other stores as well) carries. I saw the PTE pack and the drone itself wasn't very impressive at all. The rest of the set was just recycled stuff. I am glad for the restock on PTE though. I'm finally going to get some Humvees and a few other items I'd passed up for space/money in years past. Hoping the new jet actually makes it out over here this year.

This company makes a western line as well. If those hit Big Lots I might get some.

That's right, I picked up a something exactly like this a few years ago at Wal-Mart. Almost forgot I had it.

I passed on the PTE set too...

The Joes do have the R.P.V.. Since Hardball is piloting it pn the box I take it they are foing with the Sunbow view od everyone can fly a jet.

To be fair, the Desert Hawk isn't a very impressive-looking drone in real life either. ;-)
