    I just found out about these, but no one seems to have these.

    Are these new toys that are comming out or have I missed them?

    They're shelfwarming in Perth. They're awesome, and their weapons look pretty sweet, but i just haven't been able to convince myself to drop $15 on them, especially when a scout TF is only $17.

    So, I guess these came out internationally before they are going to hit the U.S.?

    They are crazy priced on e-bay, and when I looked around it said on wiki answers that TRU is the only place to get them.

    Here they are supposed to be $9.99, but on ebay some people have them for $20ish a piece.

    But are they only hard to find because they haven't really reached saturation?

    They've reach supersaturated by now in Perth. Seriously, try to get rid of these things, i dare ya. They're not flying off the shelves anytime soon, and i think that's because they sell for the same as a five pack of Spartans. So you essentially choose between 5 figures, or 1 figure and a glorified box.

    Man I wish I could get you to pick me up a few, but by the time I pay shipping it would be insane to the U.S.

    I found a few on e-bay and am tryign to win them.

    It's odd how few places have them, usually even if something was hard to find several places still have some.

    I got my sons at TRU, in long island.
    Better then that is the White and Red Halo Wart Hogs and Hornets they are selling at Target. Target always has the good halo Megablocks stuff. The new Hornet is much better then the old one in terms of locking together. Better block design!

    Shameless bump, but TRU has 2 of the 3 pods in stock, just got the Heavy Weapons and Close Quarters the sniper was out of stock, but I can wait on the 3rd as long as I can get these 2.

    Funnily enough, when you put 1 as a quanity for an out of stock item, it says we have adjusted the item to the # we have in stock when you update cart, which was none.

    You think they just wouldn't let you type a cart quanity.
