Target likewise sells larger "Online-Only" BBi items = Wild Adventure - Duck hunter : Target. They outta expand online stuff (to support Target's in-store 3.75" line). I emailed asking if larger F-16 and F-18 fighter jets can be exclusives for Target Online too. Anyone else want to see this happen!?! Let 'em know!!!

Are these easily found in most Targets? They never made it up to the Canadian Targets (that are now closing) and I just want to make sure it'll be worth the drive... had no idea these existed, awesome stuff.

Yes, some Targets around me sold out around Christmas, but they have all restocked.

Anything else new coming? Where did you get this picture?

bought a couple of these guys for their weapons. the figures themselves I don't really care for tbh.

1st series had been selling out in a few stores. Check Target Online. Yet be aware these do sell out online as well (like the 1st series 5-pack below). At only $3.99 a figure, its no surprise, affordable toys like these are hard-to-find.

how well do these size up with GI JOE and MU?

Pretty well.

The NBC troops from this line help augment the pretty expensive Acid Rain line of figures.

These look pretty good & that Seal has the night vision gear used on the OBL raid. When they showed those pics @ 1st in that book, there was some blowback that they were supposed to be classified.

It's amazing how quickly gear that was recently classified starts showing up in toys.

Photo fucket

picked this up for $32 a couple weeks ago at targets
plus the private contractor and marine gunner

i passed on the HIND last year but when i saw it again i decided to go ahead and pick it up
plan to paint it just for show

few issues
this HIND is a tad undersize, cockpit only seats one(some ME GI Joes might not fit)
it lacks seating in the cabin but you can fit 3 ME Joes inside seated on the floor
it has one rotor

other than that its really cool toy

A talented scratch model builder began constructing a really nice really big Hind. Its available for sale.
Although more accurately 1/18 its gonna cost $250 to $350.

I'm surprised that this line hasn't become hugely popular.
The majority of G.I. Joe collectors that I know prefer the more realistic aspects over the over-the-top stuff (like ninja clans, android troopers, clones, etc...).
Also, with the Joe franchise on something of a hiatus, this line seems like an affordable replacement/alternative to the Joe line.

Personally, I prefer the ridiculous aspects of the Joe franchise over the realistic stuff, but I feel fairly certain that, in the near future, I will most likely be picking up some Elite Force vehicles to integrate into my Joe collection.
