I just saw this at a TRU for $79.99 and it looks AWESOME!  the only issue is that it comes with no figures and you need to buy there "Alpha" vehicles to attach to it to make it more "playable"

bandy, those are 59.99 at walmart in the states, but same thing you have to buy other sets to build it, good thing is, they are joe scale, it is not just the alpha vheicles you need but also the figures come with parts also.

I would love to see Shipwreck being the captain of that ship! I'm very tempted to buy this.

hahaha... I could make that the GI Joe Naval Training vessel!  If you can sail this then the Flagg would be a breeze!  $59.99 USD is a great price but shipping would kill me as the box is Huge! I will hope for a Sale at TRU!

Avast ye landlubbers!

That is pretty cool, I saw the Lego Pirate Ship the other day as well and that is totally amazing as well.

Are your lkcal Walmarts carrying Captain America figs?  Mine has nothing!!!!  I did see a jet vehicle at TRU the other day (can't remember the name) and it might make for good custom fodder even though I had not seen a picture of it before.

No not yet.  Since they clogged the pegs with those crappy Green Lanturn figs at $9.97 (Are they kidding?!!!)

That would be awesome, but please do not buy it now, not sure when my wallet is ready for it.  I just spent alot of money on drywall for the basement so my Joe budget has been decimated until I finish my basement reno.

Of course now that I have said my Walmart doesn't have Cap figs, what do I find today?

Captain America Figures!!!!  They had a whole isle display with wave 2 figures and vehicles.

We're getting like an odd number of TF Generations figures here. My friend and I found a Dirge, and a Blur, but they come in the same case as Kup, which we haven't seen any of.
I feel like Zellers and Walmart do have them, they just have too many ROTF figures warming the pegs to stock new ones.
I'm kinda glad I'm not really into any of the DOTM figures apart from the Blackout scout that I got at Wal-Mart awhile ago. They're just not very appealing, especially because of the size of the deluxe figures. The one figure I would buy is the voyager class IronHide but if he has the same transformation as Special/Night Ops(i forget which, he's black and has white streaks) Iron Hide than he's just a pain in the ass to transform, and more frustration than fun.

My coworker just bought a leader class Sentinel Prime and he's actually pretty awesome but he's one of those transformers you just leave in alt or robot mode for long periods of time because it's a big ordeal to change them.
