Wave 5 Ripcord
« on: November 18, 2009, 11:18:55 AM »
I was in Buffalo to pick my wife up at the Airport and had some time to kill.  So I went to the local Walmart to check out the Joes. 
The Joe display had the same Joes as always, then I saw on a rack in front of the isle there were more Joes at first glance they had all the same usual figures except at the bottom was the wave 5 Ripcord in Jungle camo.  He was the only wave 5 figure there and originally I wasn't going to get that figure out of the assortment but then I noticed the figures were on sale for $5 U.S., so I scooped him up and it came out to just under $7 because I paid in Canadian and our dollar was still strong.
I have to say he is a pretty cool looking figure once out of package.

Sorry no photos need new camera--dropped it one too many times I guess.

Hopefully, this is the last of Ripcord for a while.

Desert Ripcord in pilot gear, and with a flight pack.

mini-Hijack: any more reports of this wave in Canada? One guy on here said he found this wave at Wal-mart but it seems a bit fishy at this time...any ideas. Also, where are the darn Battle Stations?! Wal-mart better get their act together and quick.

Good question. One I'd like to know the answer to. I'm tired of checking out both my local Wal-Mart and another a healthy distance away only to come up empty-handed each time.

The battle stations just now showed up in my Walmarts. I'm also liking the $5 dollar price tag. I've seen the Ripcord now about three times. But I'm not into Ripcord. I think the Arctic Storm Shadow is the best in the wave.
