Today I bought a Beast Bomber for $10 at Walmart. I was surprised to find one because I thought they would have sold out when they were $15.

Found the Kong helicopter at Walmart for $6. Thought it was a good deal.

Be sure to check the Garden Center area at Walmart. Lots of clearance toys there. Found the last of the two packs for $1.00 each! Mostly Ogre and Snake Bite but I did find a lone Diesel and Puma pack. At that price it's worth it for the weapons and using the figures for parts.

Found the new three packs today. I passed on the one with Titan for now but bought the others. I like the new figures, especially Smoke and Impact. El Jefe's accessories seem a bit skimpy, like he's missing a larger weapon but I should have something to give him more firepower. The Shrapnel figure will make a good troop builder.
I did notice that some Impact and El Jefe figures have eyes that are not quite right so you may want to look closely at them. One Impact I saw appeared to be looking at something on his left. The messed up eyes were very noticeable.

I've accepted the fact that short of me buying the new Corps! figures online i'm unlikely to see or obtain them. Corps! presence north of the border has been sporadic at best. It's been a long time since i've seen Lanard product in person.
I believe the last product i saw in person once was ...the Super Soldiers. Before that....all the way back to the new recruits release.
I still support Lanard anyway. I really appreciate what they stand for and represent.

Took advantage of the clearance at my local WalMarts and engaged in some capitalism this morning!
--Corps 2-packs: Rain vs Troll, Bolder vs Plague, Snakebite vs Ogre -- $2 apiece. --Skull Island Creature Contact sets -- Boat, Jeep, Outpost -- $5 apiece. --Skull Island Storm Strike -- Helicopter -- $7. --Skull Island Kong -- $19.
The only item which as missing is the Storm Strike Assault Boat. Otherwise it was a very productive morning for 3.75" soldiers and monsters! My brother spotted the Rampage toys yesterday -- I am assuming he was in Danbury, CT as that is the closest WalMart to him. So with my two WalMarts going through a reset, hoping to have the Rampage and new Corps stuff on the shelf soon.

Checked WalMart on a hunch this morning. Picked up all 4 of the new Corps Elite 3-packs. $5 apiece, the new figures look fantastic in person!
No Rampage stuff (not from Lanard, anyway, there was a set of stretchy George, Ralph, and Lizzie in the style of Stretch Armstrong), but the tags were up.

Which suggests a case is 8, 2 of each style. I can also confirm that the cardbacks are similar to last year in that each one is unique. There is a Corps "new recruits" one, a Curse "new recruits" one, and IIRC two story ones. I will try to get some pictures later today.

Finally found the new figures at a Wal-Mart across town. Looked like they had several of every set, but I only bought the Trickshot/Impact and Smoke/El Jefe sets. Overall, I love 'em. I have a few minor complaints, mostly paint related, but I'm looking forward to getting the rest. May swing back and get some Kong stuff, too, since I missed out on those, initially.
Edit: mixed together a fairly good match for El Jefe's pants, and painted his waist. He really pops now and he's probably my favorite after that addition.
