No, I ordered the sets through the cliub as a non-attending member. I've ebayed prices for it and the other guys, and it is more than I am willing to pay at this time. I'm pretty good with what I got.[/quote]

And yes, this week's TRU sale is buy two figs for 10.99...up a buck from the last sale.

Oh well, still better than normal price.[/quote]

Give me an idea on the price of the chopper since you did the leg work already.[/quote]

I think the best BIN price was $59.99, which isn't too bad, but it isn't the best toy either. The dude has 7 left...[/quote]

I like the RHINO copter and have been saying for years it should be released solo.

Then this is right up your alley.

Actually that is probably the most reasonably priced (after market) part of the whole 2009 con exclusives set.

Yeah I was going to say, it doesn't seem that pricey. especially at only 500 units produced. I wonder what the figures are going for along with Blades and the gyro-copter.

Well it that time in the movie toy release window were things have slowed down to a crawl they release the first three wave really fast and then it seems like forever till wave four hits store shelves. Although some stores have reported getting wave four which include paris pursuit baroness and rex "the doctor" lewis among others.

It's a;right, gives the wallet a chance to breathe. I did just order 'The Pit' from Target.com. Free shipping, and $30.00 discount from HASBRO meant I paid $74.19 shipped. NOT BAD! I did the same thing with ROTF Devastator.

How did you get a discount from Hasbro? Anybody get the Eel yet? I'd like to but his gun is just so horribly bent in box I can't bring myself to buy it.

Based on the promo HASBRO is currently running, when you go to checkout they deduct $30 automatically off the price of a $99 dollar order or more.

I do have the Eel. Not as good as the 25th, which means just buy the Target exclusive Eel, and Wave Crusher 2-pack, stow the Wave Crusher, and use the cool newly repainted 25th Eel.

Is the gun as bent as it looks? Hmm, do I get the PIT now or wait for it to go on clearance at TRU or Wal-Mart? Do I really want it? Is the girl I just sent $500 US to in Canada really coming to be with me? Did I just say to much?

Yes. Wait. Your hesitation leans towards not really. Depends where in Canada is she? Quite possibly.

I don't remember having any problems with any of the Eel's guns. So many guns come bent these days.

Well as it is with so many things these days if there's a deal I'll pick up one. Right now the only two Vipers I like is the Elite Viper, and Ice Viper.

So what are top five g.i. joe and cobra figures your looking forward to in fall 2009 and spring 2010.

ROC Jungle/Nightviper
ROC Jungle/Nightviper
RoC Jungle/Nightviper
ROC Jungle/Nightviper
Nightforce TUnnel Rat and Shockblast...

So I went to TRU and took advantage of the sale. I got Hawk and another Pit commando, this time in the variant packaging. What's nice is his rifle isn't bent. Any idea which one is rarer, ditto for red helmet blue helmet Firefly.

Found the ROC Paraviper, PP Baroness, Arctic Assault SE, Dr. whoever, and the SS with glider and no shirt... at of all places K-mart. But they were (gulp) $8.99 a figure so I only bought SE, PV, and Baroness...

What makes GI Joe Sigma 6 Adventure Team Dusty worth $1,500.00.

Never released? So it is rare and scarce (made in very small amounts), like the G2 Protectobots and Stunticons we see popping up now and then.

Same with adventure team Heavy Duty. Wonder how much black trooper suit Lt Stone is.

Whoops, must've spelled his name wrong. Yeah, that's him.

Thanks for the answer I never really liked the sigma 6 figures remind me to much of fisher price action heros but with more articulation.

I didn't even know it existed. Say, have you guys noticed something with the ROC figures? The ninjas can hold their swords, none of the guns, except for those held over from the 25th line, have triggers, if they do the figure has a molded trigger finger, tight joints, perfect limbs, etc. My point? I think from Wave 2 carded on Hasbro had the entire 25th line planned out. We had given them criticism on Duke arms and diaper crotches from day one and even as late as wave 14 figures were still using these parts. ROC is the first chance for Hasbro to implement the changes.

Has anyone seen the pictures of the prototype gijoe jet that used a small air cannon to fire the missiles it had the trigger like on the night raven, and was supposed to come with three compressed air canisters, and refills would have been sold separate. I don't have link for it or anything it was from one of those books were they showed gijoe toys that could have been made and some of them got as far the prototype stage. I know why it didn't get made, but I would love hear your guys thoughts on the reason this vehicle never made past the prototype stage.

Well during Valor vs. Venom there was the Thunderwing jet. Had a trigger and everything.
