Does it come with Hawk? If so for $100 they could at least get his hands right. That's kinda funny.

The Hawk figure comes with it.  Hopefully the problem with the hands is just a one of thing that I was "lucky" enough to get.  Thankfully the hands are easily swapped so I should be able to just amputate one of my extra figures.

I think this will end up on clearance at Winners like the big Millenium Falcon did, just gonna have to wait a while. They could barely sell THAT and it was/is truly an amazing and iconic toy. Most Star Wars collectors bought it, unlike this which has most of us devoted Joe fans saying "meh".

That said, if it's at Winners for a good price, I'll find the room for it.

Yeah, I just don't have room for it.

If it's marked down to $70.00 then I would think about it. $50.00 and I would buy it. In a year my son could play with it.

Milton walmart had 2 pits, but i picked one up. They also has 4 pegs of figures, a shelf full of the 3 packs, 2 of the latest 5 packs, 1 greatest battles dvd packs, the s.e. dress up set, and a little 4 side display of figs, vehicls, and flashlights, all set up nowhere near the action figure isle.

General Hawk: Technically, G.I. Joe does not exist, but if it did, it\'d be comprised of the top men and women from the top military units in the world, the alpha dog\'s. When all else fails, we don\'t.

yeah, I agree, at fifty bucks, I'd pick one up, but for 140 or even 100, its not a well thought out toy.  Rocks on the inside, cardboard accessories.

There are some good points, the internal bay/storage area looks neat, the weapon storage looks good, I even think its passable in vehicle mode, but it just doesn't look like it would be much fun to play with.

Still lots of these at Kitchener TRU, and a few at Fairview Mall Wal~Mart.  Looks like only a a few have sold in this area, what are you guys seeing?  Are they selling?

Since the packaging is only in english, it'll never see the light of day in la belle province.

I haven't seen it in person yet, so it's hard to say. From the pics I've seen though, it does seem underwhelming. Plus, I don't want another large vehicle to take up space, especially if it's not that great. However, I have my MCC, which I think works better.

TRU.ca is selling this for $99.99 right now.  I'm not sure if this applies in store as well or if it's some sort of pricing error.

I was at TRU Kitchener earlier today and they had the price @ $99.99 in store as well.  There wasn't a sale sticker or anything so I'm assuming this is the new price.

I'll pick it up if it ends up like the Star Wars AT-TE last year at Walmart. ($19.94)

Otherwise it isn't worth it to me for an item I don't really care for all that much.
