Surprise...found 15 packs.

Each pack contains 3 commons & 1 tattoo.

Results:
45 singles, 15 tattoos
Completed 31/48 base set
Found T1-T6 tattoos
(not certain if there is a T7 or higher, yet)
The wrapper provides little info about the set.

Base set (appears to be):
48 singles
#1-12 Character cards (either red Cobra or green GI JOE emblem on front)
#13-39 Story cards
#40-48 Key characters with a puzzle back
(These may be short printed 1:2 or 1:3)

Overall B-/C+
Pros: Colorful, well designed & organized, and $1 per pack.
Cons: Only 3 cards per pack.

May update review as I open more packs.

See sample pics below.

I did not even see anyone at the Philly show with them. It's probably because there are no autographs or costume cards so dealers figure no one would want them.


I didn't see any of these packs when I was in Target over the weekend.

I gave up trying to find them in the stores and had to order a bunch from Enterplay. The packs are cheap enough that I bet they would have done really well in the stores. I really like the images used in the set.

Went to 5 Dollar Tree stores and finally found 1 store that had a few packs left. I bought them all and got about 1/2 the card set. I am not really going to go crazy looking for more as I just wanted a few of these. I never even seen the film and it was gone so fast that I doubt many people did.

I've checked about 10 Dollar Trees in two different neighboring states and found the packs at only two stores.
Confused

Website may be your best route. Thumb Up

Hi xtime - I can help you out with some of the singles you're looking for. Email sent...

By the way, I found (and bought) 48 packs from a single location and was still 2 cards short of completing a single 48 card set! I ended up getting the 2 missing cards yesterday, but the pack collation is really terrible.
