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.

Actually, I got these amazing Army LEGO clones called Bestlock. I got this German Panzer tank and a Humvee. Hard to find these in the wild here. Above is an example of what I've seen. They're way cheaper than real LEGO. Usually carry them at discount stores. They're pretty awesome.

I do have every set of LEGO Kingdoms except the new Joust set. I'm thinking of putting it all together and taking some neat pics of the Lion Army vs. the Dragon Army.
