Pretty sweet deal if you managed to snag one and have a PO Box or a friend in the US to ship it. It's also Free Shipping in the US too.

Toysrus.com does ship internationally but only on select items. Not sure if this was one of those items. I've never tried ordering from the .com site but I've been told that shipping is through the roof. Sort of how Target now ships to Canada, but shipping is like $40 for a $15 toy.

You looking for all items MOC???

Nice Review. The Cobra one is excellent as well.

I only say the SE figure is the weak link because I have it already, but for any fan who missed out on him the first time around, this set has no weak link, they are all nice.

Thanks for the heads up, I was able to pick up a set at my local TRU last week. Only one case, so no troop builders left after I was done. Hopefully they put more out at some point for those that missed them.

I hope they put out troop builder sets at some point, because putting troopers in the cases at the same ratio as the characters is going to make them difficult to track down. And they're so cheep to army build too.

I imagine they will. I think this will be marketed more like LEGO stuff (they reissue Stormtroopers and other troopbuilders all the time)... And after all, they've already reissued Transformer Kreons in cheap little 5-packs, previously only availble by purchasing expensive sets.

The only thing I don't like about GI Joe Kre-o is that it's only available at TRU... I wonder if this is always going to be the case?

Well the way TRU is stocking these it's going to be slim pickings. Each TRU is only stocking a case or two at most it seems and the way they stock other exclusives, they don't restock too often. I hope I'm wrong on this.

It's better then them not showing up at all I suppose.

As for being a TRU exclusive only, I can see it being so for the next little while. It's been a struggle for Joes for some time now and things don't look like its going to change any time soon. It's difficult for Joes to exist in this world, with what's been going on. The truth is parents don't want toys for their kids that are associated with something that is much to real. Real people, guns, military, terrorism, etc. Sure, some of the same things exist in other toy lines like Transformers, but they are robots, TMNT, they are turtles and no guns, Halo, but the bad guys are Aliens. Parents can digest it a little more easy. Also aside from the movie there's no exposure for Joes for kids, no cartoon means no Joes at mass retail.

That's too bad... I didn't miss one CJC since 2009.

Same here. Disappointing news for sure.

I always look forward to the con each year and to catch up and see familiar faces.

I'm thinning out my collection and am getting rid of a few things.

There's a huge lot of Marvel Universe figures as well as carded lots of 25th GI Joe army builders in addition to a few other things.
