        Wait for what? For them to go on sale?

            More than meets the eye!

            I found them at my Walmart today. They weren't with the other GI Joes, they were in a Transformers display in the middle of an aisle. I caught a glimpse out of the corner of my eye & recognized them instantly.

            I bought one of each and that left only 3 or 4 figures left so I hope the store restocks for the other fans.

              I really doubt these figures will stay on the shelves long enough to hit the clearance aisle. If you really want them, I wouldn't wait too long to get them....

                That's funny, my Wal Mart has had them in stock since they hit the shelves last week. Very far from being "cleaned out"......Exactly how long is a "heartbeat"....

                  I don't know what I am waiting on, I don't think I want them. They are not real GI Joes. I saw an open one at another Walmart last night and I did notice their thumbnails are not in the correct spot. Some of you may think this should not matter, but a REAL GI Joe should have thumbnails on the wrong side of his thumb. You think the designer of these new ones would have known that.

                    they are Kung Fu grip, right? Then the thumb nail only has one place to be.

                      I picked mine up today. Got all of them and picked up and extra Land Adventurer for one of my buddies.

                      I'd say if they made it to my part of the world, there is a very good chance they are everywhere.

                          Believe me Joe, the irony of that is not lost on me.

                            I picked up a Sea, Air and Man of Action. They had about 7 more, most Sea and Land. They were on the very, very top shelf (backstock zone) and I had to scale the lower shelves to get them...seemed suspicious that they were out of the general line of sight and not even pegged on marked anywhere on the shelves.

                                Interesting!

                                Is that a young Chuck Norris in the old Kung fu grip commercial?
