Thank you so much for posting your pick up.. I had given up on the idea that big lots would get these too.. I walked into my big lots today and to my surprise they had three sets. They were still in their white shipping boxes which is a shame cause I like to inspect toys for problems before I buy them. But it was still a nice surprise.

My local comic shop in Paris has a Tamashii Nation corner, where I found this Kamen Rider! I know a lot of US fans prefer the modern ones, but my favorite KR are the older ones from the 70es!

The AIM soldier were a lot sold from a collector guy who didn't want them because the box was damaged; now I have to find me a BAF Modok!!


We also have Pokémon Happy Meal in french MacDonalds this month. First pick is Pikachu. The overall silhouette is not fantastic, but he says "Pikachu" when you lower his tail, wich is a nice feature, so...
Can't wait to see who will be the next ones!

Agreed! Bluestreak comes out this month and Smoke next month. This line is awesome, and with nothing really eye catching for me from Hasbro, I'll be saving tons of $ which will go to all these new MP awesomeness.

i agree.. and from the looks of it, the movie line doesn't look to be too promising.. especially considering the last movie line where we never got a deluxe or human alliance version of dino. . i can't see hasbro getting all of the licenses needed to produce all of the vehicles that are going to be in the movie.

this mold is incredible. i can't wait to see magnus, bumblebee, and wheeljack.. ever since MP10 takara has been knocking it out of the park. it's truly impressive.

so, transformers wise, i'm only really looking forward to waspinator, rhinox, and skids.. hopefully they'll give us more beast wars figures in the generations line cause waspinator and rhinox look great (though, as usual, their takara counterparts look better)

Yeah no movie line for me as well, they don't look as good as the Generations for sure. Only new Generations I'll get is Dreadwing and Skids, other then that totally passing on the Beast Wars, but they sure look great. Oh yeah Double Dealer I'll def get. Probably why some of the Targets in other states have been clearancing there G voyagers to make room for these! And yes the MP's with the Lambo's have been looking great, glad I started collecting the re make of them as well, cause I would be pissed having dropped $$ on the older ones. I really hope Hasbro brings over MP UM so I can drop the Tak one...

Oops, sorry I missed your earlier post, and that I was so slow to respond to this one. I've been lazy about checking ToyArk lately (I've been swamped with school and work). But, yeah, I was shocked to find these at a local Big Lots. One of my friends stopped by today and found a couple of newly arrived 6" lab coat Ray figures, but no signs of any new MotU figures. I'm hoping that as the holidays approach, more and more MattyCollector stuff will be arriving at Big Lots

Picked up Ult. Snake-Eyes and Ult. Storm Shadow from Retaliation at TRU over the weekend, and Construct-Bots Predaking from Target. Also picked up a 25th Anniversary Hawk at a CVS. I'll see if I can put up some pics later.

I wonder if any other stores besides TRU will even stock the new GI Joe's this year?

A dealer told me Walmart won't buy more since they can't get rid of the Joes from last year. It would be nice if Target or even K-mart stocked new ones again. I haven't seen Joes in Target in some time now.

They've been sighted at Walgreens as well, but those are even more hit-or-miss than TRU. Based on that and clearance sales at big box stores, I think we might see them eventually at deep discount stores like the Dollar chains, Five Below, TJ Maxx and Marshall's.

I'm not sure about the Target stores near you, but the ones near me clearanced them all last month and they're pretty much gone now. There's not a spot on the pegs for them anymore. The K-Marts around here never even carried any Retaliation aside from the "preview" wave.

Apparently "realistic" war toys are a hard-sell these days.

I think you're spot on. You are not kidding about Walgreens - they're always a miss for me! Target got rid of them all, like you wrote from what I saw. Back in the summer, I actually picked up an Alley Viper @ a K-mart but haven't seen new Joes there since.

This is very cool but was announced way after the origional trilogy box set came out and in my opinion was not enough to upgrade to if you already owned the first box set.
