An interesting thing happened to me last week at TRU. While checking out the Kre-O sets, I overheard a lady looking for G.I.Joe Legos.

When I explained to her that they didn't exist (well, not official versions anyway), she seemed a little confused. So I helped her try to find the next best thing in Legos. I mentioned the DC stuff, as well as Ninjago and the City stuff to mix-and-match. But the only other military-themed sets I knew about were MegaBlok's Halo series.

Last I knew, she was on the phone with someone trying to figure out a replacement gift. By the way, when you go on Lego's website and search for "G.I.Joe" it returns 0 results and asks if you meant "joke." I thought that was hilarious.

Also, TRU only had one lonely Hero Factory GL. I couldn't find any others on any of the shelves (not even price stickers to mark where they once were).

Might explain why I found GL hanging out with the Kre-O and Halo guys.
