I got a set of 5 of the newest wave (Wave 4) from Smalljoes.com. Great site to get your Joe fix cheap too.
I would have never seen any of these at retail with Wal-Mart, who does not stock Joes, being my only option. Sci-fi and Lifeline I had back when I was a kid so I've been pretty excited about getting these and pre-ordered a set as soon as they went up.
In this wave we have: Sci-Fi, Lifeline, Airtight, Law & Order and Zombie Viper. The Zombie Viper I could care less for and probably will sell mine (or trade).

Nice purchase!
I had no idea there were zombie-Vipers! That's pretty creepy AND cool!

Thanks Minerva.
The Zombie Viper is pretty much a gimmick character and hasn't appeared in any Joe fiction that I'm aware of. Hasbro has been targeting G.I. Joe collectors lately with various forms of Cobra Vipers (Zombie Vipers, Hazard or "Haz-Mat" Vipers, Toxo-Vipers, exc..exc..). I'm certain research & development and sales got together at some point and realized collectors will "army build" any trooper they make so it's a goldmine in the waiting. I, myself, only buy characters that were relevant to the 80's cartoon (or comic) thus the reason I'll be dumping off the Zombie figure.

I got a shipment in today from BBTS. The Slaughters Marauders and Dreadnok 7 packs finally came into stock. Also in the first pic you'll see a pretty sweet Cobra hat that I got from stylinonline. It has a screen print of all the major Cobra characters all the way around the hat. Not to mention an awesome tag that I can't get myself to remove just yet.
More pics can be seen of the hat
here. Anyways, back to the 7 packs that came in today. The top pack is the Slaughters Marauders pack. Included in that pack are (from left to right): Falcon, Barbeque, Low Light, Spirit and the Renegades (Red Dog, Taurus and Mercer). The bottom pack is the Dreadnok Battle Pack. Included in that pack are: Burn Out, Gnawgahyde, Road Pig, Thrasher, Zandar, Zanya and Zanzibar. Will post pics later of Slaughter with his Marauders as well as my "complete" Cobra Dreadnok collection now that these have been released!

Very nice!! The GI Joe one should have come w/ an Honorary Flint from the movie - that's coming from a guy who doesn't even collect 'em - so ignore me!
Once again, very nice!

I just got this interesting figure:
From looking online I think its from the Brave Command Dagwon. The Lian figure.

Now that looks nice. I'd like to have it! But, I've been on a budget as of late.
Great find!!!

I a bunch of voltron things including some weird ones. 4 of the 5 stealth voltron and 5 of the 6 dino force voltron voltrex.
Can't say I think much of the new designs. And less of the toys. Very shoddy plastic.
Also got 2 of the stealth cycles and a pilot.

Let me know how it is. I used to play the original on the PS1 for hours.

It's very good. I finished story mode a few days ago. I haven't played online yet. I have all the Twisted metal video games and just got this RC car a few days ago. I heard there is a movie in the works as well.

My latest G.I. Joe haul consists of me finding a Renegades Storm Shadow (MOC) in the wild for slightly higher than retail but at least I've got the greatest Storm Shadow ever made in my collection now. Also arriving is the GIJCC Exclusive Membership Figure (2012), Footloose. Really nice fig and a great homage to the original ARAH version.

Very nice figure! I like the head already on the figure myself - it probably reminds me more of the original GI Joe character I guess.
Great catch!

My laptop has started to seriously glitch. I think its a sign of impending death. So I've bought 2 new computers.
A touch screen all in one and a new laptop. Though I haven't opened the new laptop yet. It'll be returned if the professionals can repair my old one.

Thanks. Yeah, I wish they would all come with extra gear/heads. I wouldn't mind paying an extra $1 or $2 per Joe if that were the case.
