There are no peg warmers here. None, ever. Joes sell out so fast I almost never see any on the pegs. Granted I'm not buying any but, it would be nice if I COULD

Well, there is that one WM in Winston that had huge amounts of the Torpedo and Snow Job waves. I went back a week and a half later and it had been raked clean of Joes, only army builders remained

I think the high prices and constant saturation of these characters are dealing a blow to army building right now.

Well, for me, if the red-sigil Trooper and a more traditional looking Officer (not a huge fan of the gray gear) were available at retail in single packs, I'd be far more likely to army build. In fact, I'm kind of glad those AREN'T more readily available. It's saving me money.

I'm sure I'll buy a fair number of B.A.T.s (since they, Vipers and Troopers make up the bulk of my forces) and I'll get a decent squad of Snow Serpents and Eels (probably five of each), but I'm more about proportions than I am about volume with this line.

As for needing the pegwarmers, if someone gets a Rock n' Roll to part out, send me the belt.

This along with no silver eyevisor is why i didn't go buckwild on CGs. Gosh, it's too bad Hasbro has to deal with such picky customers like me.

No peg warmers but the CC vs Duke Comic pack around here theres no way im' buying those.

To chime in on the army building this might be better means less. The Us air foce has over 800 F-15s, they only plan to purchas just over 200 F-22s.

Peg builders? Really? I scarf up the one or two Troopers and Air Troopers I see every other week; but *nobody* around me has more than 3 figs on the shelves. My local Target has had a hooded CC and Buzzer on their racks for like 2 solid months now. I can still easily find any of the comic packs, except the 'Noks set.

I gotta be honest, I've reached the end of my rope for troopers and air troopers, and cg's to boot. I cannot justify to myself buying any more, but it seems like now that I'm trying to find the latest stuff, the AB's i was mad for are clogging the pegs, and no sell thru means no reorder. I combing TWO cities worth of Targets, Wal marts, and TRU's, and they all seem to have a bookoo of blueshirts. I was just wondering if there was anyone out there that wanted to build these and couldn't because they aren't seeing them. Hyeck, i'll pick 'em up for you and send them, just to get them out of HERE.

To help get rid of all those Air Troopers and Single carded Troopers clogging up the pegs, you could try this trick to create Troopers with red emblems just like the Leader 5-pack:
