They were sighted at a Toys"R"us in British Columbia.

Found these today, and grabbed the desert Joe set. Overall, I'm pretty pleased with it, although I took apart, or have plans to take apart, nearly every figure included.

The first thing I did after opening the pack was follow an idea I saw over at joebattlelines.com. Take the "Zartan disguise head" and put it on Footloose's body. Give Repeaters' gun to this figure. Instant, more authentic Repeater.

Give the multi-shot grenade launcher that came with RA Heavy Duty to the currently defenseless black "Repeater". Now you have "made" a pretty decent Hardball, too.

I'm almost tempted to pick this one up again for parts. Passed on the Cobra set. While the Duke figure looks pretty good, I have no interest in acquiring any more of the other figures.
