Thanks for adding the pictures. I had to run into a meeting and didn't have time to find them.

Pass. :(
I'd rather buy another HISS tank for 20 bucks.

Still, $25.00 is a lot for 3 toys. it's going to make it hard for the kiddies to get them. I don't see many parents wanting to spend that sort of money when they can buy the crappy 4 pack WITH a DVD for $24.99. These should cost $15.00 a set, maybe $18.00 tops.

Did Shredder join Cobra? Thats what I keep thinking when I see those helmets.

Not saying that it is a good thing, just remember it isn't completely out of range.

I concur with others that these are "meh."
Not really impressed by them, but they may end up being great figures in the long run.

If you've never tried the Marauder Inc. guns, the set I got was this one:

This gives you a lot to work with.

But really $25 is a lot for three figures I don't really care about. It was tempting to get them and flip em on ebay for 10 bucks US each, they'd go in no time, but meh. I don't need to do that to make money, it was just tempting to be the early bird. If I see a set I'll buy one for myself and that's probably all I'd do. Like someone else said, you can get a HISS for that money and I'd rather have a fourth HISS than some ninja turtle foes dressed up as IG's.
Did Canada get these early just on account of international packaging?

Right next to the comic 2 packs for $12.99
... and the senior ranking officer packs for $16.99
WTF were they thinking?

They had a TON of them sitting on the shelf.
With the HISS, Armadillo/Airchariot and singles packed in and warming the pegs.

Toys'R'Us Kitchener also has a shelf full of them. They're $29.99 though.

Big pass for me as I'm skipping the movie merch entirely. Anyways, they had a good 1/2 dozen or so on the shelf there.

The fact that it seems all Canadian Wal-marts seem to be ignoring the street date indicates to me that they are intentionally putting them out early.

These were at London Walmart White Oaks mall and they still had some the other day at the 24-hour super Walmart. They never had them at Oakridge as far as I know. A funny story, I went to the Toys R Us here in London, and they had these figs. They were $30. I tried to buy one but when I got to the register the machine beeped and wouldn't let her scan it. The tape said that it couldn't go on sale until May 1st. She said they would save it for me and when I went back they were off the shelves. Anyways later that day I went to Walmart where they had tons of these for $25. So I got that one for $5 less. I guess Walmart has them here because they are too ignorant/jerkish to regard giant stickers on boxes that say *Do Not Sell Until* with dates on them. At least they don't leak games and movies. The upshot to me of the entire ordeal is that on May 1st, there will probably be a lot of Joe movie stuff on sale and I would start checking that day if anybody was planning on getting them.
I have seen W-M put out DVDs that are for Tuesday as early as the previous Friday (got a season of Simpsons that way last year). That's not common, but they do seem to have a devil-may-care approach to the concept of flooring product when it's supposed to be.
