I just bought two Built to rule sets for $2 each, one at family dollar and one at a dollar general.I got Rock Crusher w/Gung Ho and Rising Tide w/Barrel Roll.Could anyone tell me what these normally cost and how many is in the series? Im just now getting back into collecting Joes for my nephew and I so Im way out of the loop.

last I saw, they were going for around $14 Canadian, so I'd say you got a deal.
as for how many, no idea.
I'm sure it's on here somewhere.:)

i picked mine up at TRU on sale for 1.90 and .90 respectively. I think they were originally 19.95 and 9.95 respectively. hope this helps.

2004 btr hasn't seen wide release at all, i haven't been able to find any new sets locally :(

check out http://www.joesightings.com/SightingsIndex.html for a good list of recent stuff....and where new product is appearing.

and http://www.magnum6delta.com/Database/GvC/index.html is another good site to check past wave assortments.

yojoes archives are getting kinda confusing w/the new stuff.....just my 2 pennies.

I found a Rock Crusher and Cobra Moccasin at Family Dollar for $2 each as well. This is the only reason I now own them. ;) Some people like to use them with their regular Joes, but I just can't get into that whole idea. The figures would be pretty cool, but they've got those pegs on their arms and legs that just takes the whole appeal away for me. But, to each his own. :)
