Picked these Dollar General Joe figures up for $3 each on clearance.

They will mostly be used as zombie fodder.

I may trade off the Cobra Troopers.

The latest 50th Ann. Joes have been trickling in for the past two weeks. Thus far, distribution has been spotty but about like last year with the big sets out first, the three packs, and then the two packs.
That one gung ho two pack is short packed in a case and I am still looking for it.
I've seen everything else.
Hit this isle a day late and missed my favorite three pack and that elusive two pack.
My store had gotten two cases of the three packs this time.

Found a Target exclusive BBQ figure tonight.
  They only ever seem to release 1 target Cobra Island figure at a time so Ive never seen them in the regular section pegs but usually on an end cap somewhere.  Beachhead and a cobra Viper are coming, via the aftermarket. All I’m missing now is the baroness and coil cycle set.

I understand some of the newer cobra figures have been shipping early to Midwest Walmart stores but haven’t seen any of those. Alley viper and a bat as I recall.

Nice find, Clint! So glad G.I. Joe is back! Have you backed the Skystriker, yet?
I'm sure some children out there combine their Fortnite figures with Joe's as well.
Action toys are just a great addition to childhood.

I agree, when the kids come over, there are always some action figures or army men to be played with. The wife went and got them a bunch of TJ Maxx army vehicles and figures to war with when they are here for the holidays.  That will be fun but not quite the same as the 3 inch joe line of figures and vehicles.
      I miss those older 2 inch tall green army men sets of figures and vehicles that were so common back in the day. I use to have one of those old Marxx toys Navarone mountain play sets when I was a kid.

Got my heart broke this morning, Darth More.
   Was on target’s site and had 2 mystery viper pre orders in the cart and during the payment process, the transaction just went away. Somebody had got there first. Missed it by seconds. Boo

No, I haven’t backed the skystriker and am a bit confused about what it includes and at what scale. Those o ring figures, are they just 3 3/4” throwbacks? With a waist o ring like a Micronaut?  Overall, it seems a bit pricy like the Rancor.
    My Razorcrest is still pending late delivery so, I’m going to hold off till they make good on that one before I really consider funding any more.
  I’m still fussy about shoddy distribution issues from years ago. Now, with pulse and the other main distributors focusing on online sales and the distribution for that important facet coupled with low production numbers makes for a frustrating task for the collectors to get what they need.

This line is really going well. I mean that latest HISS for their HasLab looks fantastic.
