Oooh! I think it will!

...as long as TRUs in Quebec will stock it.

I know how you feel, I was at my local TRU a couple days ago and overheard an employee talking with some guy about the night watch sets and according to the her that TRU had no plans to get any in… ever…

One more catch, I live in the states, and my TRUs still aren’t getting them! Don’t you just love it when stores don’t even order products that are supposed to be exclusive to their stores?

Do you have any other toys r us within a certain amount of miles to this store because I forget what the number of miles is but two stores with that radius will not carry the same items don't ask me why.

Not that I know of, its pretty much the only TRU in my area within driving range.

Hey nekoman Here a link to the store finder this might help answer the question about if this is the casehttp://www2.toysrus.com/store/index.cfm?tru=1&sa_referral=http://www.toysrusinc.com/tstorelocator. Closest toys r us to me is at alderwood mall but there is another at everett mall if one of these stores carries a product the other won't with a few exception like transformers animated but something like trooper builder only one store will carry them.

There's always BBTS, or any other big online store like Entertainment Earth, blah, blah, blah...


I still haven't seen any Crimson Command sets yet.

There were two left of the Crimson guard and Scar face trooper comic 2 pack. I got one today.

I love that pack. The comic's pretty fun, too. I'm not going to spoil it for anyone, but a certain character in that issue really could use a figure!

I liked the Crimson Guard & Scarred Cobra Officer two pack, I wanted to get more then one as a troop builder but Wal-Mart ended up selling out of them before I can get another and none of the stores in my area have it.

I finally got out to one of the Targets here in Maine, but I guess I was too late. I didn't see any in the store and had them run the DCPI#, the computer said they were in stock but the employee said the computer probably didn't catch up to the fact they were sold out. Hopefully I can get to the other targets and find them.

Thanks for recommending the Dreadnock two-pack, shortround. I picked it up today and besides finally being able to mail away for Doc I do like the figures. I have a question on Ripper though, can his jaws of life(or would it be death in his case?) be stored on his backpack?
I should have picked up Buzzer when I was at Target to go along with them. Hopefully I'm come across him again.

Not sure never tried to store the jaws of life on his back pack I just give him his classic gun most of the time. Another comic two pack worth picking up if you can still find it is the breaker/destro two pack both amazing figure even if you own the single pack that comes with the briefcase or Iron Grenadier edition destro both great figures as well.

I agree on the Breaker vs Destro set. Breaker is one of my favorite figures even though I didn't know about him till the pack came out. So far I've been lucky to get all the two packs I've wanted, except for the Storm Shadow vs Snake Eyes battle damage pack.
I wish they were planning to re-release the Snake Eyes with Timber as I lost my Snake Eyes from that set. I hated that they kept re-releasing the same Snake Eyes in every comic pack and battle pack. Maybe I'll be able to find him in one of my boxes from my last move.

The Dentist from Springfield Doctor V? Oh, I need one more sticker of the comic packs to send for Doc the GI Joe medic. In toys r us where I go they have the G.IJoe 5 packs first waves of both the Joes and Cobra for $30.00. Which I have forgot to mention. They aren't selling at all. It has been that way for months since early February that I have been checking these figures out. I'm waiting til they go on clearance. Maybe they'll go for 20 bucks maybe? While all the singles sell quite well. They go fast like hot cakes. Didn't see any this time. The comic pack that is a serious shelf warmer is Scarlett with General Hawk. They have more of those than ever that I've checked. About 6 or 7. Duke and Playdoll CobraCommander about 2 or 3. There were two of the Crimson guard and Scarface trooper. Now there is one left. Cause I've got one.

You should of picked Buzzer he is known to sell quite fast. You should go back and pick him up tomorrow. Dreadnoc 2 pack I only saw it once ,and there was one left and I snatched it up before anyone did.

Sadly I can't get back out to Target for probably two weeks as I haven't got a car or a license, I have to get a ride from my uncle when he goes just to get out there. I wish they would bring a Target to my city.
Hopefully I'll be able to come across one if I can get out to one of the other Targets or Toys R' Us'.

My two gripes is the blue snakeeyes and the comic book from the comic pack. His thighs are loose he leans down. I got to straighten him up which isn't so difficult to do. What I seriously like about Snakeeyes is that he looks the same way when he first originally appeared in the cartoon. Which is awesome. Which was the thought that came into my mind when I saw him the first time. The comic book featured also has no dialog printed. Just pictures of the comic itself. Which I find bizarre. Storm Shadow also looked like in the show too.

Try Toys R Us. I've seen more G.I.Joes figures there than any other place so far. Target not as much but they have the vechicle exclusives. Which the other stores don't have. Love to get a hiss tank and a g.i. joe armed canon jeep. I haven't gone to Target for over a month. I got to make a trip soon. Maybe I might find them there. Target is better than Walmart for Joes. In Walmart they are all gone when I went a few times. The transformers toy shelves are always barren too. Never went back cause it is farther. While Toys r us is closer to me. Followed by Target. The Kmart in my area has a poor selection for toys ,and I rarely go there.

Thanks, I actualy started a thread about this(although it seemes to have fizzeled) I hope the Doc Champaign takes off and Hasbro revives the mail in idea in Transformers as well!

I've been buying these for 2 weeks now, and am have already sent in 2 cards fully stickered for Doc

PS, here's a link to that thread,

Support it fans, let Hasbro know that mail ins are worth a dam!

OK guys I wanted to start a list of the absolute must have figures thus far from the 25th line. This is what I have thus far so feel free to add or subtract. My goal is to get a running list so that completists don't have to wade through the chum to get to the gold.

1.Firefly*
2.Beac Head*
3.Zartan
4.Snake Eyes (single carded black)
5.IG Destro
6.Lt. Torpedo
7.Armored Cobra Commander

This is just a list of figures and the numbers aren't for rank they are to mark quantity. the * is to note the fixed crotched versions of the figure only.

My IG Destro is hiden reading a Golden Disk while he had a stand in wearing one of his RAH suits answering to Cobra Commander.

A very cool thing is that he can securely hold the brass disc and still pull off a dynamic pose.

#8) Pimp Daddy Destro
#9) Breaker
#10) Cobra Night Watch soldiers
#11) Rock and Roll
#12) Crimson Guard
#13) Shipwreck
#14) Tomax and Xamot
#15) Wild Weasel

For the person who needs another Snake Eyes with Timber, the TRU SE vs. Red Ninja pack would be a good option.

Honestly, I cannot recommend that someone does not buy them all. They are all really good joes, fixed hips or not.

Everytime I see Firefly in the store I feel compelled to buy one. I have like 5, but have actually left some of them in the store. It was hard, but I did it.

What do the different versions between the original and the fixed crotches look like?

I get it now. It supposed to be silent like Snake eyes. So it's quiet and cautious ninja style.

I beleave that dvd battle packs will let you make your own mass device but I could be wrong. Either way I plan to collect them all just for chance to own the min-series that each one comes with.

I was just on Hasbrotoyshop.com looking through the Joes on there when I noticed they had the Battle packs listed for sale and in stock. They won't ship till August though if you order them.
You do have to build your own M.A.S.S. Device machine with a piece that comes in each pack.
In one of the sets the characters are Snake Eyes w/ Timber, Baroness, Sgt. Stalker, and Cobra Trooper.
A link to the set mentioned above.

The other set has Lady Jaye, Destro, Roadblock, and Strangler Vines.
Here is a link to the other set. http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/ProductsBy ... 21695&PG=1

Can anyone fill me in on what the red stuff on Snake Eyes is? I never saw the episode(s) these sets or the machine are from so I'm a bit in the dark on it.
They also have the Armadillo tank vs Serpentor's Chariot and the V.A.M.P. vehicles for sale and in stock, but they too don't ship till August.
