Has anyone had any luck finding any of the POC stuff? The figures specifically. I found the HISS Tank and Wolfhound at TRU, but that was a little over two weeks ago. I haven't seen anything new since then.
I know a couple Toyark users have gotten lucky finding some stuff. I even got up today all excited to go to Target but came up empty-handed. |

Aww man, don't tell me that! I swear I thought about doing the same but for the life of me i couldn't find anybody working out on the floor and then I figured the hell with it, they probably won't hook it up anyway. Damn. Should've asked. Congrats on the score.

Man, it would be so great if the toy places and department stores here would have some better offers, more often. Buy one get one half off would be great for Joes. My local toy store has a few Neo-Vipers left over and I am waiting for them to get down to 1 pound before buying the lot of them and finally have an "army" instead of just the specialists. I don't think POC is coming to the UK though.

Well most saw I got the Beachhead, I'm looking forward to Target hopefully having some out today since they seemed to be preparing the racks for new stuff.

I found the entire wave at my local wal-mart. I only bought beachead and the alley viper due to the $9.99 price tag. I was curious is this a normal wal-mart price across the board or is this store just sticking to the consumer.

Wal-Mart is just jacking up the price so they can cash in on the new stuff now and then "Rollback" later on. I was shocked when I saw the ROC figures on the pegs for $9.99. I couldn't believe my eyes. I even scanned one to make sure. Ridiculous.

Monday night I saw Snake Eyes, CC, Beachhead, Duke and Storm Shadow. But sadly, didn't pick any up. I had too much TF goodness in the cart already and they take priority.
Still, really want SE and BH. Quote:
In a lot of ways, I really prefer Target's business model. Even if it does mean that some of their staff can be a bit prick-ish about checking the backroom.

My local Targets that have recently reset had the new POC GI Joes. However, a couple of them got wiped out and only ones that were left were Storm Shadow and Duke. I got a Firefly and he's pretty cool looking.
In regards to Walmart, if you see a competitor's ad for GI Joes, Walmart should be able to price match it. Unfortunately, I haven't seen any recent ads with competitor prices. The closest would be TRU that sometime advertises them. |

My friend is one of the managers at Target, so he grabbed me an Alley Viper and the Cobra Commander. I'm really friggin' happy about the Alley Viper... So, so good. Definitely troop building this mother.

Aaaahhhhhhhhhhh, I'm dying to find these. How's that Alley Viper? Obviously good enough to troop build, but any specifics? He is the one I'm second-most excited about.

Picked up Beachhead today at Target because of my fellow Toyarkers. You guys were the extra little nudge I needed. I'm not complaining, this guy is phenomenal!

His gear is great. I never got either of the box set Alley Vipers so I had no idea how detailed the mold was. The knives really come out of the sheaths which isn't news to anyone I'm sure but was to me. The color is just so slick. Red's my favorite color, and combined with the blacks and grays I can honestly say that the only troop builder that contends for me is the Snow Serpent, and that's just cause it's been my favorite for years. Poseability all around seems to be great, I'm just really happy with it. Oh yeah, and I found Snow Job!!! |

Finally found the entire wave this morning!!!!!! So happy!!!! New Beachhead kicks major ass. Lovin the Alley Viper. Snake Eyes is cool, as always, but this version especially so. Hasbro has really hit it out of the park with POC.

Agreed. POC is the best GI Joe line released in years, and probably the best 3 3/4th line released in years.

Here here. I wish the MU stuff had the quality of this new Joe stuff. Just looking at the details and paint apps, I keep getting blown away. Even my girlfriend was tempted to buy some for herself, lol. She likes to get the females. I told here that there weren't any girls coming out yet for POC and she told me that her girls still need some guys to hang out with

Hey great news. You remebered I posted the other day about the $10 Joes, well I went back today and they were only $6.97. And I bought rest of the wave. These are some of the best Joes figures ever.

That's at Wal-Mart? If so, glad that they dropped the price. Thank God for those "Rollbacks", right?
