I totally forgot about Fleet Farm Toyland. I was up at the store locally and I guess I didn't realize it was open already!
It seemed like in previous years that the wait for the usually rather good deals took forever until Fleet Farm opened up their seasonal mega-section of toys.
Last year, I didn't get anything. It was the Doom Cycle and Ghost HAWK with the PoC-style figures.
This year, Fleet Farm is pretty much doing the same thing on figures. (I forgot to scan the catalog mailer image this year)
$5.89 a figure, which is a heckuvalot better than what is essentially the other option in town.
Fleet Farm 2011 sightings:
I don't know "wave" numbers, but what I saw was Dukes, a rather large amount of Shock Troopers, Storm Shadows, and Snake eyes.
On the vehicle front was the Black Dragon VTOL and the 2011 VAMP for $19.89 each.
In my opinion, the figure prices are pretty good, not stellar. However, I was surprised the GIJOE vehicles were so high-priced. Or, I should say, I'm surprised the vehicles are at normal mass-retail price.
Fleet Farm Toyland was where some of the best prices were to be found. For an example of this, compare the Doom Cycle's $12.89 at Fleet Farm last year, to what was near you. (I think Target had Doom Cycles last year at $14.99, if I remember correct.)
Other reports of Fleet Farm Toyland sightings had NAC's at around $15 years ago. This years vehicle pricing just didn't come through.
I'm kind of disappointed in that.
