Huh, I remember they had a weird naming snafu, but didn’t realize they actually made two variants. I’d say mo’ black mo’ better. Maybe that’s why that one is more expensive.

Target must be seriously overloaded to drop those down already. Seems like they just clearanced the Flint and Dusty. I guess it makes sense though, as these latest ones are about as stagnant is the retro LJs. Interesting that they have the PP Officer listed with different prices though. I guess...

That's crazy! I get it when it comes to movie tie ins and such, but it's worthless for normal, long running toy lines. If they were any good at it, they'd do their exclusives to drop at their stores right after they are announced at their toy-con, or whatever theirs is called. Then they could...

Right? I feel like the quantities and distribution on the retros, and frankly the regulars too, with WM is a big reason why they end up with so many peg warmers. If the better ones had made it to the stores and balanced out the selections, I think a lot more product would have sold. Heck, people...

I also saw a few $14 RnRs, $29 SIs and a buttload of $16 retro LJs last night at WM, still on the pegs/shelf. I was briefly tempted by the RnRs, just because I still need a spare ammo pouch/can for mine, but couldn't justify getting him just for that since I can't think of any way to make use of...

It's interesting how the GJCS figures ended up being only $5 at Ollie's while the (arguably) even less popular Eternals (and other) Marvel Legends and SWBS figures were marked $10. It makes you wonder what WM's cost was on the GJCS figures. Do they really cost them less than $5 a pop or did they...

That doesn't surprise me at all. WM's web presence is an absolute joke for being such a huge retailer. Good on BBTS for standing behind their published price!

WM is definitely a headscratcher when it comes to their "clearancing." Target is much better and more predictable on that front. Looks like they heard you about SI, which has dropped down to $29 (online at least), but AMZ has it at the same price, so they will need to dig deeper yet to move...

So true. They really don't seem to get it, despite their clumsy attempts (i.e. collectibles sections in some WMs/TGs). I'm also glad they have stuck with it despite that, but wonder how long before it goes POC on us. I am glad there are more outlets out there this time though, for when it does.

I feel like WM may be trying to recoup losses from just about everything else Joe CS they have tried to sell. It seems like they have been way behind and/or stuck with the less desirable offerings at every turn. Their retro LJs and overstocked Shippys still crowd pegs at every WM that stocks...

This is an interesting development: https://toynewsi.com/278-51903 Looks pretty cool for a 100% repaint, except I think even my 8 year old self might have cringed a little at "Covert Tactical Strike Force" decaled right there on the side of the gun car... 😑 The drone is a bit useless, but hey...

Perfect use of those, and way better than the original!

Nice! Some Buzz Lightyear parts in there?

Lol, right? I was surprised when I went over to Yo Joe to see what vipers were still out there. A lot. I get it, they have slots to fill and toys to sell, but now is the chance to do a really good job on a few, not saturate the world with everything-vipers.

For me, Dialtone will completely depend on how they handle the technology changes since the original. I have no need for the other two, unless they somehow make them irresistibly awesome (SAW certainly has potential there, and Frag could benefit heavily from a semi-auto grenade launcher vs the...

I got my Doc and Torch pre-ordered on Amazon. I had the usual search issues on my work PC getting most of them to show up. 🤷‍♂️ Fortunately, none of these are exclusives or anything, so nothing was trying to go out of stock. And, luckily, I scored an AMZ gift card this morning to cover half the...

So I probably muddied the water a bit with the Cold Slither reference. I never pretended they were musicians or anything like that, more just a tighter, smaller group than a larger gang looking to induct probies or anything like that. I felt like, while clever in their own right and fully...

Some new coverage: https://toynewsi.com/278-51816 I wouldn't call them disappointing, but I don't see myself re-buying the Eel or Snow Serpent. While I would have liked to get SS for the regular fig price, I don't remotely see enough new (rifle?) to justify replacing the one I have already...

So true! I guess I had more of a band (Cold Slither for the win!) than a gang. I remember buying Zanzibar, but never really finding a way to use him for much, and kind of regretting the purchase. I'm honestly not sure if I ever owned Road Pig or not. I might have just played with my cousin's fig...

I think the main problem for me with Gnawgahyde (cool eye patch monkey notwithstanding) and Night Creeper (also Range Viper) is that they came too late in the original run for me. I was already well on my way out as GnH dropped and fully out before the other two, so I never owned them and so...
