The toy retailers are in enough trouble without dealing with the controversy that would come from stocking toys of WWII German troops.

More towards a Star Trek Mega Bloks series. It's available via Amazon for MSRP and has shown up in some retailers sporadically. Zombies Nuketown is just now finally showing on Amazon, and incredibly rare to find regardless.

OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. :D Okay, ordered it, feeling kinda dumb.

The "Flamethrower Shock Troops" is already listed as archived, so looks like we've got another Zombies Nuketown situation. Frankly, it's been fun, but I am not holding out hope for the future. Mattel is hemorrhaging money, distribution has been spotty, their biggest competitor is looking to buy them...

Most or all of the new sets are listed on the site now.

I see them. No new building sets besides the drone and the checkpoint is a bit disappointing.

The guys in gas masks are dead ringers for the SAS who took part in the Iranian Embassy crisis (which I am really surprised was not in any of the Black Ops games). The SAS troopers in the first proper mission of CoD 4 (the freighter assault) were based on that look.

Search Mega Construx Call of Duty under Toys and Games. Include Out of Stock. ????? Profit!

Okay, that time worked. Weird. I'd really like to see more vehicles; I like the itty-bitty action figures, but they're not really my primary interest when it comes to building blocks.

I cannot get Amazon to show them to me. Every time I change one variable in the search, it resets all of the others.

Ugh. They haven't hit my state yet. Though I know they have hit Texas.

I was very surprised to see them here. My Walmart doesn't carry much Mega at all anymore. Indeed, they cut their entire toy section way down. But they've been getting the various Heroes lines in lately.

My patience was rewarded; I picked up the entire Series 2 Heroes line at my Walmart today.

Same here for the price. Did you notice one of the vests is new in the Armory? Add that to the fact it has the double-drum rifle, not just the double drum on an older style rifle, makes this better for me. And the fact that the female figure is a bit more tan than normal helps too. I did not notice...
