GI Joe pirate series you say? ;D
I think I have a package being delivered in tomorrow's mail.
Stopped into Big Lots earlier tonight. They had caca. And I don't even mean the toys. It's been a long time since I've been there, but I could usually find some things worth getting. While I did get some stuff it was all crap. And the only figures I saw were Power Rangers and the Star Trek movie small and large ones.

Yeah, lots of them. Got my stuff today. They're smaller than the current POC Joes. Heads most noticeably so. Duke has a tiny pea of a noggin. Still and all, they were cheap and I got what I wanted.

Picked up Beachhead, Storm Shadow from the same series (No. 1004) and the movie version of Charbroil because he's awesome. Got this guy for $2 from some random cheap wannabe-Joe series because he has a sawed-off shotgun chainsaw and I want to repaint him with more colors. His head pops out so easily and the sculpted detail is pretty darn good, it won't be hard to prime and paint. All it needs is a little color to make it stand out. Also got a 3-3/4" Tron Black Guard for $5 that should fit into whatever kind of setup I end up with for the Joes.

Why have some of the coolest recent figures only come in multi-figure packs? I don't like that.

Offhand, a few of the Cobra Island Joes, the Firefly that comes in a 2-pack with a lame Storm Shadow, a Cobra Viper that comes in a cobra set. I've seen more but that's what I can think of right now.

Just read that the new G.I. Joe Renegades cartoon isn't coming back for season 2. Kinda concerns me cuz the Pursuit Of Cobra Line was set to transition into a Renegades line after the next wave comes out. Aside from really wanting the Renegades Duke figure I'm hoping this cancellation doesn't end this style of Joe (highly detailed with tons of realistic accessories) cuz I just got into 'em and they're cool.

Yeah. I've realized that while I very much appreciate the exposure to and fun I had with the original figures, I don't want them anymore. I really like what they've become in the last few years. And I now want to find a t least 4 Pit Commandos from the movie line. That figure is rad. God, I need to quit looking at these things.

Exactly. And that's why they're going for so much. Dude comes with a ton of great stuff.
I can't let myself buy into impulse. I carted then removed Iron Knife so many times over a few weeks. But when I realized that even though it was pretty high, it was all coming out of GC balance, I bought it.
But the rest will come from real money, and I'm not going to be anyone's bitch for Joes. LOL

Is Beachhead supposed to have a second knife on his back and I've lost it forever having vacuumed since I got him, or is it just an extra sheath for the one on his shoulder?

Rule. You. Dude. Gracias.
Been scrabbling on the floor a little to find it. Should've just been an extra knife so numbskulls like me wouldn't freak.

I freaked out about it, too. Until someone on the Spawn board pointed it out.

We should hold a protest until we each get a second knife. I mean, it's not like Beachhead came with a lot of stuff. ;D

Killer scoreage. Those Snow Serpents are rad. Almost got one with the chunk I got recently but removed it at the last second for some dumb reason. Never though to check Family Dollar for anything.

Damn...I have a Family Dollar near me.
Wonder if it's worth venturing over there...
If I found even half of what you found, I'd consider it a yes. Hmmm, there's my Tuesday plan/walk!

Target is making it a point to stock nothing. Before I decided to pick up a few, they had maybe 2 a month ago. Haven't put a single new one out since, checked tonight.

Good thing I'm not a MOC collector. The Pit Commando came in a box much too long but far too narrow for it, so it was bent pretty badly on the left. Stuff that counts is fine. ;D 4 headpieces (5 counting the scope since it's also loose), 4 guns, shield, body armor, backpack, and a well-stocked flak vest. Bitchin'.
