finally! saw one tonight.

at Target tonight. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b53/topnotch97/Freedom%20Ops/th_DSC01665.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b53/topnotch97/Freedom%20Ops/th_DSC01675.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b53/topnotch97/Freedom%20Ops/th_DSC01676.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b53/topnot...

yeah. loved the packaging. wish i could get one fig and see how it is first.

$8.99 is kinda steep. but then again, what are those other Unimax price tag stuff? those $4.99 and $7.99 price points. are they the 1:18 scale or diff. scale?

man, look at those unsold $7.54 Joes.

a lot of stores around here hadn't done their resets and the usual re-stocking. lame.

military figs meet Club Penguin or Bakugan. LOL

ok. got back from my night recon.

Big Lots got their stuff now.

Bridge playset - $25
Humvees - $15
Patrol Boat - $14
Dune Buggies - $10
the usual Towers, Helis, 3-packs, etc.

plus (if anyone cares): Soldier Force singles - $1.50

anyone got those biglots coupons?

i notice re-stock of Para Troopers. both ww2 and modern.

i just wet my pants.

$25?!?!? ka-ching!

time to return those Conquest!

btw, can you give me the UPC bar code of that item? might help if my area has those already. i didn't see them yesterday, probably this week.

still waiting for more decent stuff.

well... there's a register at the electronics area. every target has their toy section adjacent to the electronics area.

so you can always have your purchases done there. rather than walking all the way down the check out lane at the entrance.

just sayin.

yeah, TRU don't really have space for any line... unless they just shove anything or whatever peg space they could spare. LOL

does anyone know if Big Lots ever released those SWAT and/or Firefighter vehicles? i've seen only figures and those 3packs but not vehicles. it's like big lots only pushed for the military line (ie. abrams, dune buggies, hummers, etc.) and i haven't seen any new 1/6 scale pte stuff. not that i colle...

not only that, TRU just did some reset on their "military collectible" aisle, including Joes. so you'll probably notice that some might not be there anymore. unless you have to go thru the trouble of asking some associate to look up some item numbers and see if they are indeed "X."

i saw this one today at TRU store



for $39.99.

i guess i'll have to go back today and get it.

i hope they're not "discontinued." however, TRU has always been notorious on having distribution problems. especially here in Cali.

passed by another Big Lots tonight.

saw the same stuff: Combat Heli ($12.99), box figure ($3), 3 pack figure ($5). and the latest addition... the look out tower ($10).

wasn't the look out tower only $9 last year?

but anyways, it looks like the PTE stuff is slowly creeping in stores.

what's your location?

that TRUe Heroes from TRU is actually from the Soldier Force line of Chap Mei.

drove around today, hit up some Big Lots and even ended up on a nearby TRU. no dice on PTE stuff, the same stuff reported by others. but at TRU, instead of finding nothing at the Elite Operations/True Heroes aisle... i bought this: Navy Seal Boat http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b53/topnotch97/Mili...

out of the box:

it's the same F-18 you see at TRU. kinda like the A-10, which is similar to the A-10 sold at TRU.
