GI JOE Rise of Cobra on Clearance at Kmart

Where did you guys see it for $99? I want one!

At Kmart :) but its in Brisbane. There was only 1 and may be already gone anyway. I saw like at least 10 at Toys R Us except at normal price, I bet down the track they will sell them off almost as low as $99.

hmmm are sure got any proof?

Proof ? Well at Toys R Us I looked up and they are on capping the very top shelf. The pits are stacked to the roof along with similarly high stack of night ravens! Maybe they would start at $149 first before going as low as $99. In any case they would have to drop the price to move this stock, but this will likely happen next year :o. I'm basing this on what I have seen happen with large scale toys. The Starwars clone wars ATAT which is a very large vehicle is on a store special of $99, don't know if its in the catalogue. In the past I have seen similar specials offered on the Millenium Falcon. About a month ago I saw Starwars Turbo Tanks priced at $99 at Kmart. These were all instore managers specials, so not every store is going to do this. I don't work for any of these stores by the way. Sorry all I have said sounds very opportunistic, but It dosen't hurt for people to be aware, especially collectors who invest quite a bit of money in toys. Sorry for long post :)

Il take your word for it.

Saw the Pit at Kmart today, it is indeed $99. Was tempted to grab it but its large size and my lack of space to display/store it held me back.

same thing happened to me yesterday.
The base is just too big.

No Pit at my crappy K-Mart. Although they did get some of W2 finally like the Ice-Vipers, Reactive Duke, Scarlett, PP SE and SS.... Although I'm pretty much done with W1 to W3.

Well, I caved in big time and grabbed the Night Raven and Pit. Haven't opened the Pit yet as I'm still wondering where I'm going to display the Night Raven! :p But the Night Raven is much better than I thought - love the pump action missile firing feature and the size and design is much better in the flesh than the pictures on the box would have you believe. Two thumbs up!

PS. Has anyone seen the Ice Dagger on sale anywhere?
