Oh man I can't wait to find these. I know that there has been limited finds on these in stores but when is there going to be a mass release - when is the official date? I have checked every store in town for the last month and can't find anything but Sigma 6.

I here they are releasing a Cobra Stinger driver later - this makes me very excited.

If you are on the East Coast Toys "R" Us is the best place to look.

:BOT: On a related note... I bought GI Joe #21, the silent issue!

While picking up my comics, the comic shop had several boxes of old comics. One of the customers traded in his collection for store credit. As soon as I saw some GI Joe comics, I dug right in. And just like finding the Golden Ticket, I nearly crapped my pants finding part of the greenish black cover. It was in pretty good condition too! The clerk knew what he was doing, he checked Overstreet for the price so I paid $25 for it. Still worth it though!

I've read a reprint before... but I've always wanted the real deal.

Of course, the crappy thing was that as soon as I came home, I saw some cheaper prices on eBay. Oh well.... live & learn. :CON:

Aah, but you did it the old fashioned way, you found it in the back issue bins at brick and mortar stores (or a con), and that is how we used to have to do it before this 'dag-busted Ebay thing'.

Still a nice find and a great issue, although it doesn't take long to read! :P

I love Silent Interlude. I think it was great that they included the 5-page Silent Prelude in the Snake-Eyes: Declassified TPB.

I saw #21 at the Montreal ToyCon for about $20, but I had spent all the of the money I brought with me. Oh well, maybe I can score a copy at the upcoming Montreal Comic Con...

:BOT: You're right, finding it at a comic shop is way cooler to tell people than saying I got it on eBay. Then I couldn't do the whole Golden Ticket analogy :)

And sure it takes about 3 minutes to read it... but I continually read it over and over. It's that good. :CON:
