So today I got:

Techno Viper
Zombie Viper
Lifeline
Airtight
Law and Order
Sci-Fi
Renegades Scarlett

A bit overwhelmed not a loser in the bunch.  Some quick impressions.

Techno Viper-What an update, one of my faves from that year (87) and looks great updated.  Can't say enough about this one.  Great gear and fantastic figure.

Zombie Viper-OFF THE RAILS, fun and great and just amazing.  Can't say enough on this one either, so I will stop it there.

Lifeline-Really great update, looks just like the original with a whole lot more bells an whistles, the gear alone is worth it, but the figure is great too.

Airtight-One of my all time favorite joes, just cause he was different, Like Lifeline he is an awesome update and looks so much like the original, great one. 

Law and Order-This is one that takes all the orignal aspects that worked and changed up a ton to make an even better figure.  Love it. 

Sci-Fi-Read Lifeline and Airtight, but even more than that he was one of my favorite looking characters back in the day just because he wasn't bland, Again I love it.

Renegades Scarlett-Admittidly the weakest of the figs I just got, but she is still awesome.  Simple yet effective, her one weakpoint is the head sculpt but it's not so terrible that I hate her.  I saw some reviews that hated her ankles (the rolling kind like has appeared on Marvel Unvierse like Daredevil and Cyclops) personally I think it's a nice touch and allows for more unique poses without a stand.  Great figure. 

Updates Mon-Fri every week, also reviews and much much more.

Walmart in Saddle Brook has a ton of 30th Anniversary/Renegades Wave 3! I scored a Renegades Scarlett and left all of the others for other collectors/customizers as I only really want random accessories from them so they are not worth buying whole figures for.

found a couple Of zombie troopers and most of the new renegade wave at a target at their new price of $8.99 each. Lifeline and scifi were missing as was the renegade dog handler.

I haven't seen a new JOE Figure, though they do have the old ROC Figures on the pegs for full price with a new tag on the isle. :-X

HAHA!! those should all be shipped out to TJ Maxx and Ross. At the very least they should be marked down to 3 or 4 dollars.

Trust me. They are listed at 8.99. I will try to take a pic with my phone when I go back in. I would just love to sit down and have a talk with the toy dept. head, but I know it wouldn't do me any good.

There's a wal-mart near me that just now marked these down-to $7 (Yeah I just can't imagine why those haven't sold)

Found the Resolute battle set's today at ROSS, they had multiple sets of both the Joe battle set and the Cobra battle set.
I only picked up the Cobra set for $16.99, so if you have a ROSS near you be on the look out.  :)
