Don't know if the other one is still in stock, but I've seen plenty of them from other sellers. Mine will be the tan cloak variation. The price is steep, not less than 25.00 per figure, that's why I ordered just one, only to satisfy my desire for this figure and not having to wait till 2013.
I got one of the 3 packs too(that with Beachhead) from BBTS and it's on the way. I don't care much about the ninja one, which I'll wait for 2013 to get with all that postponed preorders.

just got my joe trooper and red ninja (along with iron spider man and ww hulk) from smalljoes and they just shipped it :) happy days are here again :)

Very nice! The price on this is much better than eBay ones! Too bad the trooper was not in stock when I looked for him at Smalljoes.

So a funny thing happened to Paramount's other film, World War Z - a delay, throw in a few reshoots, and some script rewrites. Yup, very smart. Shouldn't these things be handled, I don't know - BEFORE the shooting is done?

One thing I can say, is that at least the reshoots mean that Paramount is going to spend more on the movie, (meaning they believe it will make them some serious money) and are not abandoning it altogether for an auspicious DVD-direct release. Maybe it will be good. I saw the trailer again the other day, and it looked awesome. The story, maybe not great, but the action and characters are translating much better than the last movie. I hope the changes do not make the movie worse!

you may want to check it out again since they're still available at $14.99 (although you're limited to just one per customer). im trying to use my friend as a "decoy" so i could score another figure :)

Well what do you know, 1 month to go. :p

Good point, I suppose that scheduling the appropriate shoots as well as FX budgets before filming and editing is done would have been a better route. Setting a release date after everything is ready would have been a better way to handle things.

found new SS, SE, Flint, Firefly another trooper and a POC blowtorch at walgreens about thirty minutes ago.
