Wonder if it's a Kre-O thing. Seems too cheap to be a real remake.

Maybe it'll be like that abortion of a Dragonfly remake.

Maybe it's the sigma dragonfly with a retooled cockpit...

I know the feeling. I have two Walmarts in driving distance (when compared to the distance to TrU and Target) and neither of them have yet to reset. Hell, the one that had all the movie based figures on clearance are back at full price.

They really should be going on. I really want to take a gander at the planogram and see what kind of space there's gonna be for Retaliation.

And I want some new MU shit.

I think mine at least Have a planogram up. If so, I'll check and see if Gijoe is even on there. They did recently get more CORPS shit, but who wants that garbage?

Mothers with whining kids to shut up.

Hasbro is pricing themselves out of the game.

I don't know how much difference there is in production costs, but those Corps guys suck. My kids have a bunch (they are the default Christmas/birthday gift from relatives who hear the kids are into action figures but don't know what that means). They are happy to use them as SHEILD agents. I was very impressed with their ability to find a job for those turds. I would love Joes at that price, but I would rather scrape up ten bucks a fig than have Corps guys with Joes names.

The Corps suck some major Dick. Really. The vehicles are alright at the least, but I'd rather stick with my cheapo PTE stuff.

Those guys were great target practice for Cobra and GI Joe back when I was a kid. They were like a cheap team balancer. Back then, the figures were actually kind of cool looking, and their articulation curb stomped the Chap Mei figures. The vehicles like the APC, humvee, trucks, and helicopters were better than Chap Mei too, and cheaper than GI Joe. The older O-Ring ones have notoriously fragile thumbs though. The t-crotch figures use to be worth getting for their guns alone, which looked good in the hands of real GI Joe figures, but that was back when they were packaged with real guns rather than the fake gay shit they have now. It doesn't matter now because those guns are too big for modern GI Joes. The proportion difference was acceptable back in the O-Ring days though.

Lanard certainly has lowered their standard of quality in recent years by taking figures that were once interesting and then suddenly turning around and painting them with lame colors and aesthetics, and taking their cool weapons away. They really need to give them their guns back, and make new arms for them that have wrist articulation.

I remembered back in the day, I had the O ring Corps guys. One of them had a turban, so he was always a terrorist in my mind. That's kinda judgemental on my behalf lol.

No guarantee they'll actually do it here on that day, but it'll give me a window to start seriously looking.

Except Hasbro's been claiming for years they don't have the prototypes or molds for the thawk.

You mean those TJ Maxx shelf savers...

Exactly. Fans will say they will get them but movie stuff will get up two wave three maybe and that vehicle will go to dscount stores. Then people can blame each other for not being "true fans" and supporting the line. Scalper talk will occur when people pay too much for a Tomahawk because 3 states see them.
