Just going over the 50th descriptions...

Quote:

Flint heads to the waterfront to stop a Cobra Eel trooper who plans to slither onto shore from the sea. Driving a V.A.M.P. MK-II Multi-Purpose Attack Vehicle, Flint readies his rocket launcher to keep the docks clear of the enemy, as the Cobra Eel speeds his Night Raft toward land. For both of them, there's Danger At The Docks!

Seems like overkill for just one :eel:

in an inflatable raft no less. :-/

Rather one-sided too. I don't see how Flint is in any danger at all.

I saw the POC wave pop up at a TRU I stopped at. $8. Arctic CC, Jungle BAT, Blowtorch and General Hawk. I coulda sworn there were others in that wave when it was released originally, but they weren't there.

I remember this was the last POC wave that hit my area and at Walmart. Same case hitting TRU now with 3 each of BAT, Hawk, Blowtorch, and CC.

Then Thanksgiving of 2012, for Black Friday this wave hit Walgreens but it was 2 each of Hawk, CC, Blowtorch, BAT, Cobra Trooper, and Steelbrigade. With the sale, figures were $4 each. I stocked up on BAT's, Cobra Troopers, Hawks, and Steelbrigade Troopers.

Saw the Jungle-BAT, CC, BT, GH wave at TRU yesterday. $7.99 each. They had a refresh case of the 2 packs for $9.99 as well. Only social clash and arctic sets though.

Would love to get just ONE.....

My TRU was lousy with arctic packs a couple weeks back. Almost grabbed one but I hate that Snow Job and don't really see Cobra paying to specially outfit BATs for different environments.

Did grab the Social Clash pack for the Lady Jaye this week and it rang up at 7.99.

Went to a tru I haven't been to in awhile and they had 3 night vipers for $3.98. Those were the only retaliation figures they had.

This was the 50th endcap at my closest TRU about a month ago. Four FULL pegs of Lady Jaye/Baroness packs and shelves crammed with that Arctic set. If that Wolf/Sky Hawk set is on clearance next time I go in I might have to get another.

Next time people say that Joe fans are cheap and only wait till clearance, I would just like to note that I have yet to see the Jaye or Arctic Bat set on the shelves here in NJ and have never had the opportunity to buy them at full price. .

That may be one of the biggest Joe displays I've seen at retail in YEARS!

And Hasbro must be clearing warehouses for POC stuff to be turning up at this point.

As for the Arctic two-pack, don't give up. Interesting thing happened here. We got one of those Toys "R" Us Express stores, and they had the wave with the Arctic Set. I did NOT see it at EITHER of the two regular TRU stores.

When the Express closed, a few weeks after Christmas, I asked the person running the place, who happened to be one of the managers of one of the regular TRU's, and certainly knew me, where the leftover merchandise would end up. Specifically, would it be headed to the regular TRUs.

She said that it was likely headed back to a "district warehouse" and would then be redistributed. So it wouldn't surprise me if some of those Arctic Two-Packs yet find their way to TRUs.

So I finally found the arctic 2pack, opened it and tried to swap bats damaged head for his regular one, and his neckball snapped off! First real problem I have had with a joe ever'

You know, I have two Arctic BATs, and although I was able to swap the damaged head for the regular one without difficulty, I did notice that on both, the head is VERY tight and not easily removed. Maybe it's the paint?

I got a couple of jungle BATs i'm disappointed that they don't come with an undamaged chest plate.

Dusty79 · **Posted:** Sat Feb 14, 2015 2:35 pm

Stopped at tru on my way home from work and found the poc stuff. All the jungle bats were gone. All the rest were still there. I almost bought a cobra commander but decided against it and no way I need more blowtorches. If I didn't have so many Hawks already that would have been a good buy at 7.99.

I'd be interested in some $7.99 Lady Jaye/Baroness sets and some $3.99 PoC Cobra Commanders... http://www.yojoe.com/action/11/cobracommander45.shtml

So far I have two Social Clash, with two more on the way.
