Reviews of the set were mixed upon its release. Some fans praised it as an innovative play and display environment. Others compared it to a giant land boat.

GI Joe, Star Wars, Wolverine Origins – Buy One Get One Free at Kmart!
Now through Wednesday, November 25, 2009 Kmart is offering a “buy one, get one free” sale on all GIJoe, Star Wars, and Wolverine Origins basic action figures!

Also, Kmart stores have regularly been receiving shipments of the “City Strike Snake Eyes” wave so this is a good chance to grab some Resolute-goodness before the insanity of the Christmas shopping season.
