That would be hilarious. They're gonna end up with six more soon too.

The plummeting price on that two-pack is HILARIOUS. I think I gotta get an extra one for some head swaps just because two Joes for under 20 is too good to pass up. maybe I'll get a better shoulder articulation on Quarrel. 

@aceofknaves - same. This thread has become my favorite place to check in on lately. Got me feeling hopeful about the world which takes A LOT these days. 

@spongyblue That Amway reference slayed me. Literally choked on my coffee laughing. Now those are some real world terrorists!

I just opened one I got for like $26 and don't have the energy to return...  but I may, probably, definitely go hit up a wal Mart or two to see if I can't find one these packs at $20.    I don't turn up my nose at decent cheap female soldier parts -  just ask the six or seven clearance Lady Jaye's I have laying around here.   

If Zarana or Jinx dip below $10 I'll grab more of them too.    Zarana is currently sitting at $13 on Amazon.   I haven't seen Jinx go lower than $16, though she's back up to $23 now.     I think Python Patrol Vypra dropped that low at some Targets, but I didn't see her to get an extra.    Cover Girl is one that I never saw go below 20 bucks though.

If anybody wanted more insight into the double barreled AR. I just stumbled on it today.

In my experience lately, a returned Walmart exclusive seems to annoy and confuse store staff who then mark it a ridiculous price — $15.45 or something like that — and throw it in the clearance aisle.

Posted by: @vicious7171

Yeah I only see returns like these in the clearance isle but for some nonsense barely-sale, like 5% off the online MSRP.

This usually happens when the item isn't on the current or upcoming MOD and doesn't have a location on the shelves.

It will usually get marked down about 10-12% first, and if it's still there in 14 days, it can get marked down again (Walmart department manager here).

I'm not a massive gun enthusiast... I enjoy them but not too hung up either way, but that was a really fascinating video, thank you.

I concur. Especially... it's just amazing to me that this happened all in such a short span, all within the return window for the first set I'd pre-ordered on Walmart months ago.

It seriously is. I think I'm convincing myself I need a helmeted and non-helmeted Quarrel. Which will mean a new character I've gotta name and write a file card for.

Honestly, I'm really happy with the climate on Fwoosh lately. I know it's probably getting echo-chambery for some of us, but I don't really care because I get exposure to other points of view elsewhere. But yeah, the discussions in this particular thread have been a lot of fun.

Haw! It's funny because I was JUST referencing William Fichtner's bit on the movie GO to a friend, particularly when Jay Mohr questions ".... you want us... to sell Amway?"

"No... it's... it's a different product!"

I can pose some opposing points of view to break it up if you are afraid of echo. *AHEM* Eco-Warrios Flint will be the best Classified figure of all time. GI Joe Extreme should be the new Target exclusive sub-line.  T crotch is superior. I always preferred Lanards "The Corp" over Joe. The Marvel comics where overated and Snake Eyes was the best movie of that year.

Bruh, I am counting the days until we start getting Eco-Warriors. I love those crazy things. Cesspool and Toxo-Zombie are legit top 10 wants at this point. And get me Deep-Six with the dolphin AND the little orca.

I was never into Eco Warriors, but I'm actually really curious how Cesspool will look in Classified. Same with the Headhunter Stormtroopers.

Oooh Headman and the Headhunters (Stormtroopers very much included) are also high on my list.

Headman could be really interesting if they steered him into less pinstripey. I'm not sure is to make him better but I'd be very curious how they could tackle that one.

I know we can't really predict this but anyone have confidence we'll get a retro stinger driver?

They did that when they rereleased him in the 2000s, they basically gave him Bat-villain Black Mask’s Bronze Age colorscheme: bright orange suit. It was certainly a choice. 
I’m wondering if the Iron Grenadier’s “tactical business attire” torso might be a jumping off point . . . I hope he keeps the wild spats on his shoes.
