I found Recondo in store yesterday...I hemmed and hawwed on getting him and TF Bazooka, but ended up just getting Recondo for now, as I dig the black shirt look (and he's from Wisconsin, so I had to represent my home state.)f Absolutely loving the head sculpt on him, the mustache and slicked back hair are great, and with his hat on he looks fantastic.

My Recondo order was shipped on the 20th and hasn't been updated since the 25th. Guess I'll be keeping that Pulse order active.
This irks me. I had those figures preordered from Target for $17.52 and now I'll have to pay $27.21 at Pulse. /sigh

Start checking your Targets!

Mine marked down Outback, The PP Viper, & B.A.T. to 50% off.

Picked up 2 Vipers for $11.49 each.

Still can't pull the trigger on the B.A.T. though...

I don’t think I am done. From being mildly aware of these to really liking them, it has been fun:

Sweet faction! The Swarm/Scarab fits in the color scheme for sure. I may fudge them into my Croc Squad.

Thwipp!

My Target had 30 BATs the last time I counted before Christmas. Now there are 31 @ $11.50. Outback was also $11.50, while Viper scans at $16. I bought four more Outbacks because the gear, legs, and boots have potential use. I'm going to wait to see if the other two figures see another price cut before buying more. My other Target had two or three each at full price.

The endcap price tags weren't updated.

Does your store have the old price scanners or are the new-styled ones showing the sale price?

The store with clearance prices has the newer touch screens. The other store without clearance prices had the old scanner. That store's scanner doesn't even have the numeric buttons.

All four Outbacks I bought today have stuck hips.

Thanks. Sucks about the Outbacks' hips, maybe time to bust out the sandpaper and sand down those hip nubs, it sure worked wonders for my Outback.

I spotted Recondo today for the first time in person. I put it right back down because that handlebar mustache is just too overdone. Not sure how I'll feel about a standard version.

Thank you.
I have another PP Officer arriving this week. Plan to strip him out for a bit different look in the squad.
I look forward to seeing what you and others do with Croc 🐊 Master and friends. That is such a great figure. Bought a second one because: 🐊 crocs 🐊 .
Hasbro would do well with a mail away box of crocs accessory pack.

Whoa B.A.T.s!

My store marked everything half off on Tuesday, and by the next day all but Outback were gone.

Even when these were full price, I only saw one BAT between four different Targets. Distribution really is junk with Target Joes.

After shipping each figure from my order individually over the course of six weeks my package with PP Officer finally arrived after some weather dealys... and it was a PP Viper. Went to Target and fortunately they had PP Officers on the shelf so I was able to snag one. Reported the Viper as wrong item and apparently they're refunding the money without making me send it back. So, got what I was expecting that day plus a free Viper. What a roller coaster!

I was shocked to find four PP Officers at a Target I hadn’t been to in a while. I picked one up. I was tempted by two, but held off since my Joe shelves are getting overloaded and the HISS Tank will take up some room later this year.
