I was surprised to see these at Fairview Mall Wal~Mart this morning.

Price is $24.99.

:) Sorry about that.  I meant the movie preview set, the 3 pack of MARS troopers.

Wow, that's some great intel!  These aren't supposed to hit until June, that's a big coup for Canada.

The figures are in 3-Pack form...  some details here:

Those are the ones.

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

25 bucks  :o

Pass.  :(

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

Cool. I have a road trip tomorrow that will take me right past that Walmart. Looks like I might have to pick up a set.

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.

For that much I'd rather go the extra 5 bucks and get the Joe 5 pack I haven't gotten yet.

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

Just remember that this is 3 completely new figures (granted 2 copies), and $25 is about $8 a figure.  That falls in line with single carded figures.

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

The more I've been looking at them, the more I like them. Without the helmets anyway. *urge to go to walmart growing*

I wasn't horribly impressed with them when I saw the first images and now that I have them in hand they're still kind of "muh".  They have some neat elements, but nothing about them says "G.I. Joe" to me.  The packing is perhaps the most appealing thing to me.
