Washington State G.I. Joe Sightings

[machiwoomiapoo]

Hola,

I saw the new Tie Fighter, CW Battle Packs, GI JOE Then & Now Polar Bears with Snowjob (I always liked to call him something else that rhymes with snowjob...yeah), Black SNAKE armor, and the Jedi wave at Lacey Target. I found all the newer JOE figures at Lacey Wal-Fart, like Arctic Storm Shadow, Night Adder, Ninja Dude, and Charbroil (repainted Blowtorch). Anyway, I bought a Then and Now set and a couple of others. I check out Kohl's for the latest CW wave, but nothing good. I'm still selling a ton of my toys. I have a potential buyer stopping by this weekend. Anyone else interested in toys from 1995-2008 please pm me. Also, does anyone on this board listen to Lonely Island?

Later

Serpent Armor and the others in this wave are available at the Target in SouthCenter. There were 2 Serpent Armors on the shelf I picked up, but an employee at the Kent store said the system says they have 70 in stock (So there could be a few boxes in back)

[ViceGripX]

Both Puyallup area Walmarts have the Nonja Battles set in stock. The one closest to South Hill Mall has the Outpost Defender and is casemates I stock as well, most are still on the back room though as there was only a LAW on the shelf and an employee pull one case out the back for me. I picked up the Outpost and left the rest.

[USAgent]

Covington Fred meyer was loaded with the newest wave of joes tonight. City Strike Snake-Eyes, Duke, Ripcord, lots of red Fang Ninjas and night Adder as well: so maybe a revision case?

[captain99]

The K-Mart in Lacey, WA is selling the ROC Night Raven for $24.99, just picked it up about 40 minute ago. According to the store manager all GI JOE figs go on sale next week. $4.99

[captain99]

ROC Night Raven $24.99 at the K-Mart in Lacey, WA. Mgr says the Figures will be $4.99 starting next week.

[ViceGripX]

Found a lone City Strike Duke at the McChord AAFES this morning. No sign of anything else newer tho. And thanks to captain99 for the tip, I picked up a Night Raven on sale at the Lakewood Kmart. They also had their exclusive 4-pack on sale for $14.99, but I passed.

[machiwoomiapoo]

I found the ESB wave minus X-Wing pilot at the Wal-Fart in Lacey, they also had a few ROTS wave left. I only want to get the Black Hole Droid (IG-88 in Star Wars lingo). Is anyone going to the San Diego Comi-Con? I'll be going down there. Has anyone seen the X-Wing pilot? I think it's another Luke, but it has the head of the droid in that wave. I also found one of the Wal-Fart Exclusive Snake Eyes and Stormshadow and more of the wave with Charbroil. Take care and happy holidays!

[USAgent]

City Strike SE is all-over Covington (Walmart and F.Meyer both have him) F.Meyer has the Night Raven for $22 now also

[Deceptichage]

Fred Meyer has the sale still on the Night Ravens. This week, the singe figs are $3.49 and the Bravo vehicles are now 50% off. Don't forget the 10% off coupon to save a few bux,

[artiepants]

dang, i might have to get that helicopter for 1/2 off

[Deceptichage]

It's a good deal. I picked up the Gunship a couple weeks ago on sale for about $17. I may just pick up that Ice Dagger.

[tigerforce-88]

i think the x wing pilot is luke from empire strikes back

[tigerforce-88]

I found the ESB wave minus X-Wing pilot at the Wal-Fart in Lacey, they also had a few ROTS wave left. I only want to get the Black Hole Droid (IG-88 in Star Wars lingo). Is anyone going to the San Diego Comi-Con? I'll be going down there. Has anyone seen the X-Wing pilot? I think it's another Luke, but it has the head of the droid in that wave. I also found one of the Wal-Fart Exclusive Snake Eyes and Stormshadow and more of the wave with Charbroil. Take care and happy holidays!

forgot to quote before. i think the x-wing pilot is luke from empire stikes back.

[machiwoomiapoo]

Santa bought the girls a bunch of Pet Shop toys! They've been playing with them for hours! I saw that there was nothing left in the way of GI JOE or SW at Fred Meyer. I wish I would've waited to buy my Raven, that price is insane. My Caddy was pummeled by stones on Monday night, so I won't be hunting in that car until I get a new front windshield. Well, I finally opened up the following JOE items, here's my two cents:
Outpost Defender (Super sweet! I love the backdrops for all of them!)
Surveillance Port (just like the vintage one but with a new smell, paint job, and no dust)
ROC Hummer (way sweeter with the transformation attach style)
Air Viper 1987 body with upgraded back post for figure

Star Wars items:
SW Dewback (the trooper is difficult to stay on)
SW Wal-Fart 2 packs with uber Dark Trooper (totally worth it!)
ESB Battle Pack w/ Taun Taun guts released like 5 years ago
ROTJ Endor Battle Pack with the Ewok Glider (the little arrows that come with the ewok are way too small though)
ESB Hoth Patrol (the Imperial Probe Droid ROCKS!)
SW Droid Factory Sets from last year (I'm only 1/2 way done)

I really like the Hummer from the ROC line and the Super Uber Dark Trooper III. Those are both super sweet toys this year!

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Perhaps we'll find some good deals after the new year!? Akemashite Omedetou Gozaimasu!

[Derek2783]

Fred Meyers has Joes and SW half off ($3.50 and 3.99, respectively), and the Cobra Gunship is like $12.50.

[machiwoomiapoo]

I picked up a Turbo Tank (50.00), 3 different Wal-Mart exclusive evolution 3 packs (12.50 each), and the Octodroid thingy (17.50) at the Lacey Wal-Fart. What a sweet deal. There was 5 turbo tanks left, a ton of evolution packs and a few Octodroid dudes. I'm going to photocopy all my clone cash tomorrow to put it to good use. I haven't seen the Wedge X-Wing, it's totally sold out down here. I did see a bunch of the Tie Fighters and Rancors. The Rancors are just collecting more dust at $34, the Tie's are still $40, much cheaper if you managed to get it at Rite Aide for $10. I bought a couple of Republic Gunship Bubble Guns from Target in Lacey. I went to Olympia Target, nothing, TRU, nothing (I saw a bunch of ancient JOE items though), and Fred Meyer, really nothing left. Happy hunting and NEW YEAR!!!!

[machiwoomiapoo]

I found the value packs for EPI figures (I'm sure glad I didn't buy them the first time) at Olympia and Lacey Target. I couldn't find Obi-Ben-Doggy though, I'll have to get him to complete my second droid. I'm also missing X-Wing Luke from the ESB wave. I did buy the Droid Tread Tank though, even though it's not super cool I decided to get it. I found the CW Wal-Fart 2 packs at Yelm Wal-Fart for 1/2 price along with the JOE 2 packs which were 1/2 off too! They have a few left. I saw the Ambush Battle Pack, but I can't buy it for just that one figure...sigh. I saw 7 Tie Interceptors at the Olympia TRU before Christmas, but now there's only 3 left, so I bought it too. I didn't realize it is a little different then the others. I'm still selling a bunch of toys if anyone is interested. Mostly Episode I-III items. I think we're going to see the fireworks in Long Beach or Seattle. Happy New Year! Akemashite Omedetou Gozaimasu!

[machiwoomiapoo]

Dude, I totally want an armada of those TIE fighters, of course, I don't have anywhere to put them. I went to Target in Lakewood yesterday and saw the ANH value packs...sigh, I wish I would've waited. I picked up a couple of army builder figures and OBI-BEN (kickin' it extremely new school) DOGGY to complete my EP2 wave. I'm still looking for Cody though. Who said they can get SW cases hella cheap on here? If so, I'd love to pre-order wave 13 from them. I bought the last AT-ST at the Lacey Wal-Fart. I opened it the other day, man is it super sweet! I had to buy one for HOTH. You know they're going to release it a million more times with slight different paint schemes. I still have a bunch of old cheese style Chicken Walker. I hate the old ones because they'd always lean and fall down. Did everyone take a look at the new Cloud Car, Snowspeeder, Desert Skiff Anakin (SUPER CHEESE POTF2 Repack), and other items on Toyark:
New Upcoming Star Wars Toy Prototypes For 2010 (http://www.toyark.com/news/star-wars-toy-news-3/new-upcoming-star-wars-toy-prototypes-for-2010-2065/)

Anyway, Akemashite Omedetou Gozaimasu. Happy New Year!

Sorry, no new JOE items. I was thinking about buying those TRU 5 packs though. Are they really worth it?

[machiwoomiapoo]

I found the Then and Now GI JOE Snowmobile for $17.50! I bought one, took it back and received my $8 back. I also bought the JOE 4 Target pack with Snake Eyes for $5! That's a great deal! This was at Olympia Target. I've been on ebay more lately since the stores stink. I'm still looking for Luke X-Wing and the Concept Snowtrooper. I think there's a variation on the Cloud City Guard I need too!? Hasbro, release the figures!

[ViceGripX]

Found the exclusive Sting Raider, Doc, and Shipwreck today at the Southcenter TRU along with Transformers Animated Arcee (got the last one). There were plenty of the Joe toys though.

[machiwoomiapoo]

I went to the Olympia TRU because I heard about the JOEs somewhere else (Rebelscum maybe) and there wasn't anything there. Sigh. Maybe next weekend.

[machiwoomiapoo]

I saw the Concept figures at the Olympia TRU today. I also managed to get the TRU Exclusive Shipwreck and Doc figures along with the 5 pack Joe exclusive and new paint deco Water Moccasin. I saw 10 Ties at Lacey Target still on the shelf at regular price. The GI Joe figure/vehicle packs are $7 though. I bought Wet-Suit. Anyway, it was a pretty good hunt. If anyone picks up a TIE for $10 I'll gladly pay them back at the meeting tomorrow night. Happy hunting!

[machiwoomiapoo]

Lacey Target still has the same price on the 14 odd Tie Fighters (27.99). They have a bunch of the Clone Trooper on a TURD, Kamino Escape, and a bunch of CW figures collecting dust. The same GI Joe figures since August...sigh. At least the vehicles are half off! Too bad I don't have any room for them. I just sold a ton of Star Wars Episode I-III items off Craigslist. I still have some items up there and almost all the figures from 1995-2005 if you're interested. I'm looking forward to the SARLACC meeting next weekend and Emerald City Comi-Con in March. Take care and let me know when you start to see the new BAD wave. That Dark Trooper looks Super Sweet!

[Steeler58]

If anyone is interested, I found the Star Wars Y-Wing bomber for $10 at the Federalway Super Wallmart. They also had the dewback for $10. Fred Meyers has some Rise of Cobra Figs for $3 in the clearance aisle.

[Derek2783]

Man, I keep forgetting about this thread.

Puyallup WM has a bunch of the W:O figures at $5 on clearance; One remaining MP starscream at $27. Also have nearly all of the new IM2 figures out, tons of them as of yesterday. They also had remnants of the SW two-packs, one Hawkeye pack left.

Nothing worth mentioning at Target or TRU.

Anyone see X-Wings on Target clearance anywhere? I was waiting for the Puyallup Target to clearance theirs, they were still $50. Came back a few days later, and they're totally gone. Oh well!

Target is pretty much clear of anything worth looking at.

[Derek2783]

Nothing to report today. Went to a couple Fred Meyers and K-Mart in Puyallup and Sumner.

THere are reports of seeing CI 7-packs at ROSS... anyone come across any?

[Derek2783]

Nothing at the Tacoma or Puyallup Ross stores :(

[Steeler58]

I found the defense of cobra island pack at southcenter ross. Only one left. Happy hunting.

[Deceptichage]

I picked up a couple of the Cobra sets at Federal Way Ross. Nothing at Kent.

[mynameis]

Hey everybody, I hope you don't mind if I post my want list here since your state is the closest to me and shipping from you would be cheaper than from anywhere else.

Puyallup Ross had 5 Cobra Island Joe sets as of about 3:30 today (hope a boardie got the Cobra sets), I placed one on top of the kid tool sets on the bottom shelf (not too well hidden, but hopefully enough that it is there for a day if anyone needs it). Lakewood only has one Joe set and no Cobra sets left (got one for my cousin though).

[golumbas]

Hi fellow tankers!

occasional lurker but decided to join forces!

tonight, went to multiple ross:
sightings as of 6pm-9:30pm

issaquah: no cobra/joe sets
bellevue: 1 joe set remain after (I bought 1 joe set there)
kirkland: no cobra/joe sets
lynnwood: 5 joe sets remain, no cobra sets
everett: no cobra/joe sets
my last stop at northgate @ 9:10pm: 2 joe sets remain, 1 cobra set remain after (I bought 1 cobra set). as long as no one bought them after me, they should be there at opening tomorrow.

my trip would have been easier and wouldn't saves gas/time if i stopped at northgate first...arggg. lot of work and driving just to get the 2 sets...in hindsight, should have just bought them online.

[Jakobitz]

I checked the Bellingham Ross yesterday afternoon, and found 1 of each Cobra Island sets.

[roboticplanet]

I checked the Bellingham Ross yesterday afternoon, and found 1 of each Cobra Island sets.

That must be it for Bellingham then. I checked too but none were left :(

There was nothing at the Lynnwood Ross. The scumbag scalpers must have got them all.

[Derek2783]

OR xsoldier. He cleaned out 5 I think.

[Deceptichage]

They must have restocked some. There were none at the Kent and Tacoma locations. I bought a couple at the Lakewood and Federal Way locations yesterday. I dropped by Federal Way today and there are about 4 of the Joe sets

[perithimus]

OR xsoldier. He cleaned out 5 I think.

Well if it was a fellow board member, and they are not being used for scalping....I apologize.

[Primo_Baddest]

i am looking for 1 cobra set, thats all i need

[Derek2783]

If anyone sees extra Cobra sets around the Tacoma/Puyallup area, I need 2 or 3. If you see them, would you put 'em on hold for me at the store and PM me? :D

[Derek2783]

Bonney Lake Target has several of the Thor, Hawkeye, and Ultron 2packs in stock. At least 2 of each.

Weirdly, the X-wing is still full price there. Anyone see X-Wings on clearance anywhere else?

Bonney Lake WalMart has nothing worth mentioning.

Both had a good supply of IM2 figures, but neither had any movie War Machines at all, which was odd. I was looking for a replacement for the one I'm sending to another 'tanker.

Anyhow, happy hunting!

[Derek2783]

Anyone have any further luck locating Defense of Cobra Island sets?

[Derek2783]

ROSS in Tacoma has one Joe AoCI pack left, as well as one AT-ST Walker (at only $20!), and several evolutions packs with the pilots and the black Biker Scout.

TJ Maxx has a full box of the Mutt/Wraith/Bat/Bazooka Trooper/Croc Master white logo wave (no variants) for $3.99, as well as one Joe 5pack #2, and the CC and SE Mighty Muggz. Also had the RAM/TB, VAMP, and Firebat vehicle packs for $13.

Spent too much lately, so I didn't pick any of it up, so if you want any of it, it should still be there.

[machiwoomiapoo]

I found 4 AT-ST's at Lacey Ross for $19.99 each. Unfortunately, the clone cash didn't work. However, I still had my valid receipts for the ones I bought at Wal-Fart, so I took them back and received about $83 back. I'm glad my receipts were still valid. Receipts are like GOLD. Hold on to them because you never know when you're going to find a better deal. Lacey and Olympia Target didn't have anything. Lacey Wal-Mart had a ton of At-St's, but no Dewbacks or Y-Wings. Ross also had 3 Cobra Island GI JOE packs. Does anyone have the YVH-1 left arm?

Later,
See you all at the SARLACC meeting!

Dag. Wish I'd thought of that!

How long does Wal-Mart give you to make returns?

[iowajedi]

I believe they're similar to Target and TRU - 90 days. I seldom get to shop at Walmart, so I may be wrong...

Dag. Wish I'd thought of that!

How long does Wal-Mart give you to make returns?

[Derek2783]

I got mine in early Dec, so guess it would have been too long anyway.

[machiwoomiapoo]

I barely made it. I bought mine in late December and just made it. If I know something is going to go on sale in the future. Like the BMF from last year I just return it every 80 days (90 days is the limit) then get the new receipt. It's like GOLD. I was finally able to get 2 BMF (Big Mother$%^ing Falcon) for $64 each at Wal-Fart. I heard one dude got them for like $30. That's amazing!

[WilkinsonLonzoR]

For anyone in the Seattle area, there's a new little mom and pop joint that opened up in Burien called D-Pad. They have a ton of stuff for good prices...whole ton of loose, carded/boxed 25th stuff...I saw at least 3 of the Defense of Cobra Island packs and 1 of the Assault. They also have a bunch of cool vintage stuff too. I got a flyer with their address: 12602 1st Ave S. Burien, WA 98168... just past 128th Street in the "Elkins, the Old World Cone" building on the right hand side. They have some kinda funky green signs sittin' out. Real small joint, but good prices on stuff and friendly folks. I know I got some good deals from 'em...I paid $25 for the Defense of Cobra Island set from 'em. I hope this helps some.

[machiwoomiapoo]

Yeah, I know the store! I got a flyer at Comi-Con.

[WilkinsonLonzoR]

Ah nice! That's where I heard about 'em too. Yeah, they have a real nice selection of stuff. If you ever get a chance, check 'em out. I have most of the vintage stuff on sale there but, I did see some cool pieces...vintage Snake Eyes (v.2) for $60....I took a look at it and it's in immaculate shape, and they said they were willing to deal. They have a really nice selection of 25th and Rise of Cobra stuff too. I didn't ask too much about prices on the 25th stuff though. If anyone gets a chance to go up there and talk to 'em, let me know their prices. I may be interested in buying some 25th stuff from 'em depending on how much.

[machiwoomiapoo]

I went to TRU in Northgate and they had jack and doodle yesterday. I had them look up the EU comic figures elsewhere and they said Puyallup had like 10 in stock, but I really didn't feel like bothering. I'm an opener too, so I don't care what the packaging looks like. I bought a couple of 12" figures at the Sarlacc meeting last night. Thanks for hosting Han Solo. I haven't seen any new JOE for a long time...sigh. I am really enjoying Adywan's A New Hope Revisited though! Thanks Han Solo! Happy hunting!

[ViceGripX]

Walmart in Lakwood has a Pit on clearance on the front table for $20. Only one remains. Box it opened and a bit beat up though.

[Steeler58]

Big Lots in the Renton Highlands have the 25th Joes for $4.00. They are stocked full of Eels and other figs from that wave.

[iowajedi]

Hey Washington Tankers - if anybody sees the exclusive Walmart 6" Iron Man figures up here, can you let me know? It is a haul for me to get to WM, so I don't want to go until I'm pretty sure that it will be a successful run. Thanks!

[iowajedi]

Just trying to get more visibility on this - has anyone in Washington seen the WM 6" IM2 exclusive figures? Any help people could provide would be great! Thanks!

[Derek2783]

I haven't seen it down here in Puyallup yet.

[Derek2783]

...vintage Snake Eyes (v.2) for $60....I took a look at it and it's in immaculate shape, and they said they were willing to deal.

You're talking loose, I presume?

[iowajedi]

Still looking for these figs. Anybody seeing them at Walmarts yet? I would really appreciate an assist with this.

Thanks!

Have not seen them.. My walmart sucks anyways... lots of scalpers

[jimmynguyen41]

POC bravo vehicles hitted our area today
http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-news-rumors/80713-pursuit-cobra-bravo-vehicles-retail.html

[commentor]

Yay was expensive But I got my 2 POC wolf hounds and Hiss tank v5 at the lynnwood Toys R us:)

[machiwoomiapoo]

Konnichiwa,
I finally went on a hunt with Lenny and found most of the new items. Olympia had the new GI Joe Vehicles. Silverdale had the Vintage Figures and a cloud car. Tacoma had a cloud car, and 2 snowspeeders for us. I also so the JOE vehicles there. We found a few clone wars figures in Silverdale and Tacoma. Fett was missing from all the stores. Fett, Cloud Car Pilot and the At-At Driver are all sold out at HTS now. That was fast. Anyways, it was a great hunt! I didn't see the At-At anywhere. Does anyone know who's going to get the variation boxes? Is it Wal-Fart?

Thanks.

[ViceGripX]

Picked up the new H.I.S.S. and Wolf Hound @ Tacoma TRU this evening w/ the Rewards Club BOGO1/2 coupon, which made it a little easier on the wallet.

[TheRealDubya]

Found the TRU PoC Quick Kick and Spirit yesterday at Alderwood. Storm Shadow was hanging around still, but the bulk of a Wave 1 case was long gone.

[iowajedi]

I found the full wave 1 assortment at the Bellevue TRU on Friday. They put out several boxes that morning, but I doubt any of these will be that hard to get once we get into August. I'm still trying to decide how seriously I want to commit to POC given that ROC eventually lost my interest. These new figures are looking great though...

[machiwoomiapoo]

Yo Everyone,
This is my last post state side until late August. I'm off to Japan tomorrow. I'll let you know if they have anything good at their TRU. I found the latest wave of CW, Vintage, Vehicles, TRU Exclusive Wat Tambor looking dude, and the latest GI Joe wave at TRU in Olympia. I wanted to get an Alley Viper, but someone beat me to him. I'm looking for the Spirit and Quick Kick TRU Exclusive figures, but they weren't there today. I bought Snowjob. I took back the latest JOE vehicles. I don't have enough room for them. I'd rather make room for that Gentle Giant Boba Fett! He looks super sweet. I bought the Stormtrooper at Comi-Con and he looks amazing. I also managed to buy the 2 Sgt. Slaughters there too. Target in West Olympia was dead. Does anyone know who's going to get the Vintage Snowspeeder and Tie Fighter as exclusive vintage box styles? I saw them at Comi-Con, but I forgot to check where they are going to be. Comi-Con was awesome! I'm going again next year. Everyone and their grandma was there! Stallone, Weaver, Harrison Ford, Natalie Portman, Samuel L. Jackson, Downey, Rogen, K. Smith, Benedict, etc. I highly recommend it for everyone! I saw the ultimate Battle Packs at Comi-Con too. I knew they'd re-release the At-St with a different paint job. They always do that. I bet they'll do the same thing with the Snowspeeder and Cloud Car next year. Also, there's another Tie Bomber coming out. Well, take care...

[WilkinsonLonzoR]

Puyallup and Tacoma TRU are getting trickles of the new POC Wave 1 guys, but they're only getting in 1 case per week or so and selling out as soon as they hit shelves almost. I was able to pick up one figure at each location: Duke in Puyallup and Snake Eyes in Tacoma. The Firefly, Cobra Commander, Spirit and Quick Kick I picked up from the Toy Box in Lacey for about $50 for the four of 'em. I'll keep ya' posted on this front.

[errantentertainment]

I found all of wave 1 and the Spirit/Quick Kick exclusives last weekend at the Everett TRU. The only ones I bought though were 1 each of Snake Eyes, Firefly, Beachead, and Alley Viper. Left the rest for other collectors to treasure upon. Went back today and they've been cleaned out so it looks like someone found them. :-)

[Outback 2094]

Check your local Fred Meyer stores. Saw remnants of PoC wave 1 while out and about today. No vehicles though.

I went to the Everett tru last friday and was able to snag an Alley Viper and Cobra Commander. All I need is Firefly lol though I was so excited to get the first 2 I forgot to look.

[errantentertainment]

Checked Fred Meyer today in Everett and picked up a HISS Tank V5. When I left there was still one HISS Tank V5 and two Snowcats on the shelf.

I've got to say that the HISS Tank v5 toy is one of my new favorites and I'm looking forward to the new VAMP. I think I'm enjoying the POC toyline today as much as I did the ARAH line between '85 and '89.

[errantentertainment]

Stopped by Woodinville Target today and the POC pegs for single figures were already cleared but there were two Dreadnok cycles and Ghosthawks left.

They did have the entire wave 1 of the Vintage Star Wars figures so I picked up 1 of each figure. Still lots left for anyone else that collects them. Also, they are 7.99 at Target as opposed to 9.99 at TRU.

[Derek2783]

Checked Fred Meyer in Sumner and Puyallup, no sign of PoC at all!

I'm right there with you. Still trying to decide what to do at this point. I already commited to Resolute and that's dead. RoC I just lost interest. PoC looks great overall, but I want some continuity in my collection. 25th/ME gave me that for a time. I think I might quit while I'm ahead and just pick up the occasional ARAH-styled figures they'll throw in from time to time.

[Deceptichage]

The vehicles at Fred Meyers are about the same price at Target. The mechs are $2 cheaper.

I totally agree with you. I'm just going to pick up the guys I see on the shelves. I really want the Alley Viper, Spirit, and Quick, but they only dudes on the shelves are the peg warmers...Duke, Snake Eyes, Stormshadow, etc. There's just too many vehicles for JOE. Once you have the Flagg, Terrordrome, and all the Tanks there's not much room left in one's house. I do want to get a few of the next wave figures. Have they PoC shown up at Target, Fred Fire, and Wal-Fart yet? I'm in Japan until August 26th, so I don't know. I think the Japanese TRU doesn't even carry JOE over here like they did in the 80's. Oh well...

[errantentertainment]

I made a deal with my son that when POC comes out we'll have to get rid of some stuff before we buy more. So when he saw the new HISS tank he agreed to get rid of his AWE Striker and one of his old HISS tanks. We made the same deal with the figures too.

I've seen POC everywhere now. Just got back from Everett Target and TRU, both had POC peg-warmers but lots of the new Star Wars stuff. I'm surprised I haven't seen Spirit and Quick-Kick again though. TRU had two full rows of them one weekend and then they are all gone the next. The ROC exclusives lasted waaay longer.

[machiwoomiapoo]

If I can't find it in the store I just order the case online at Entertainment Earth or BBTS. I don't like to support local scalpers who buy them all in front of the collectors then sell them at their store for double the price. That just takes the fun out of collecting. If TRU doesn't get the Spirit of Quick Dick in vast quantities like they did with Doc, then I'll just wait until someone sells them at regular price 5 or 10 years from now. I love it how most the 25th Anniversary figures are worth half their value now. Kind of makes me wish I would've waited to collect them 3 years later when everyone starts dumping them on ebay. That's what I'm going to do with the Motu Classic line that is selling for $40 a figure now. You can get vintage MOTU for that price. Patience. It's all about patience. I never support scalpers either. I'm not that desperate.

Dude, I was thinking the exact same thing this morning.

[GIDel]

Ok so I was at the Lacey Walmart and I found the first wave of POC. I left 2 Firefly's, 2 Cobra Commanders but I took all the Alley Vipers. Sorry....If anyone locally needs one let me know. I still can't find the Quick Kick or Spirit!.....Dam the pain.

[USAgent]

Bellevue ToysRUs was loaded with POC standards today. I got the only Alley Viper but there were lots of the others (less Billy ans QK) but they did have a full compliment of wave 9 MU figures. lots of Winter Soldier/Iron patriot/iron Spider-Man when I left

[jimmynguyen41]

The vehicles at Fred Meyers are about the same price at Target. The mechs are $2 cheaper.

got both mechs for $19 and some change after using 45% off coupon ontop of stackable 10% off for home department

[Derek2783]

Saw the mechs and the HISS at Fred Meyers today. Actually more impressed with the mechs than I thought I would be. Still haven't actually bought any of the PoC stuff yet.

Went to three different Targets in three different cities (Factoria, South Center, AND Federal Way) looking for the new Marvel Universe Mystique and/or Phoenix. NOTHING. Southcenter had the leftover PoC figures - Duke, SE, SS.

Anyone finding either of those around? I know iowajedi found Mystique at one place.

ive found that wave at southcenter target once...like last week....i bought it for a friend...man its getting harder and harder to resist these mu's

[machiwoomiapoo]

I joined the Gentle Giants club before CV so I could get my Boba Fett. I'm glad I did. It looks like they're already sold out. They should make more if they're so popular. I went to the TRU in Japan and they only had a few old Star Wars toys. It looks like they're trying to phase Star Wars out. Transformers were there, but the Gundam and Bakugon sections were way bigger. I didn't see one GI Joe. Well, I'll be back next week. I hope you all left some toys for me. BTW, did anyone see the TRU GI Joe Exclusives Spirit and Quick Kick? I'm looking for them and the Alley Viper from Wave 1. Happy hunting!

[Kevin]

I heard Southcenter TRU is closing, can anyone confirm this?

[machiwoomiapoo]

No, they're just moving to the place next to Barnes and Noble. That was on the Rebelscum message board. I like Star Wars as much as JOE.

[TheRealDubya]

Anyone spotted PoC W2 yet? We're usually not too far behind CA, seeing as we have a ginormous West Coast port as well. Plus the Wave 1 offerings seem to be drying up already...

[machiwoomiapoo]

I saw wave 1 a month ago and missed the Alley Viper. Everyone else looked too similar to bother. Why do you need 8 million Snake Eyes and Stormshadows? Probably the same reason we need 12 million Lukes and Vaders....they sell...oh well, the truth hurts. Does anyone have an extra Alley Viper, TRU Spirit or Quick Dick?

[machiwoomiapoo]

Yo, I'm back. Lacey Target had Vintage figures, AT-AT, Battle Packs, vehicles, and CW left overs. Olympia Target did too minus the AT-AT. TRU Olympia has a ton of AT-ATs (I see a 1/2 off sale in July 2011), Vehilces, UBP Boba Ship (I looked at this one, the price, then left it on the shelf knowing the Empire Version will be out within the next year or two...you don't need ESP to realize that), Vintage, CW, Vader Clock (pretty cool), and some BP. Fred Fire had the Vintage, Vehicles, and some old school CW figures. I saw some remnants of JOE items at Olympia Target along with the new Mechs and Vehicles. Olympia TRU had the same thing as far as JOE is concerned. I bought nothing. I want to get the vintage boxed items from TRU and Target. Happy hunting! Does anyone have an extra Alley Viper, TRU Spirit or Quick Dick?

[jimmynguyen41]

found wave 2 poc at target southcenter, but the JV were gone...=(

[Derek2783]

I heard Southcenter TRU is closing, can anyone confirm this?

I was out that way and they had a big "Store Closing" sign... so yep. :D

[perithimus]

Everett target had all of wave 2 except Recondo. I relieved them of that one.

[TheRealDubya]

Northgate had nothing but Wave 1 Dukes as of 11:00. Will check Westwood this afternoon in West Seattle.

Update: looks like they had them in West Seattle, but all that was left at 4:00 was a lone Tornado SE. Passed on it. Didn't really dig the figure or the accessories.

[Lonzo Calrizzan]

Hit up the Southcenter last night and scooped up the last 2 Zartans & dusty. Renton Target had a new Marvel comic pack featuring a SICK black spidey & Wolverine's son withe the claw under his hand.

Looks like Destro & Snake Eyes are this wave's peg warmers. Got my eye out for Spirit / Quick Dik & JV (and Vintage style wicket when he drops)... willing to buy / trade if peeps got extras.

I have doubles of a lot of the goodies in SW, Marvel & Joes.

[machiwoomiapoo]

I saw Destro, Snake Eyes from wave 2 and Snakes Eyes, Duke from wave 1 at Lacey and Olympia Targets. I used to be able to go and get an entire wave at Wal-Fart, Target, or TRU. Now, there's nothing left. It looks like I'll have to buy them by the case on BBTS or EE. Is it true wave 3 has been canceled? If anyone has extra Spirit, Quick-Dick, Dusty, Alley Viper, and Zartan (if he's cool), I'd love to buy them off you. I'll be getting a ton of extra wave 2 Vintage SW because I ordered 3 cases from EE in order to get all the foil carded figures. My friend already wants a set, but I'll still probably have an entire set left over. The Slave 1 at Olympia TRU is gone. That's going to be a rare exclusive if they don't get anymore in. I'm glad some of you are having luck in the stores. I'll probably just wait 3 or 4 years and buy these current figures for $2 each when no one wants them anymore. I love seeing those auctions ending where you can get 150 figures for $200. That's an easy way to catch up. Happy hunting!

[jimmynguyen41]

No, they're just moving to the place next to Barnes and Noble. That was on the Rebelscum message board. I like Star Wars as much as JOE.

yup thats was me that mention that and its at the older borders building next to it, not BN......

I was able to find new POC bravo vehicles at Southcenter trus for 40% off today woohoo!

[machiwoomiapoo]

Lacey, Wal-Fart.
I found most of the Star Wars ROTS foil card figures minus Han, Vader, Clone Trooper and Ben. I also saw the CW Mace figure and bought Marvel Mary Jane figure (she has a cute dog too). I found the Jungle Viper and Zartan from Wave 2. I'm still missing the Alley Viper, Dusty, Recondo and the TRU exclusive Spirit and Quick-Dick. Has anyone seen them on the shelves at all? Also, I'm still searching for the Jabbas Throne Wal-Fart exclusively impossible to find or even order online figure. All in all, a wonderful find today. There was a few foil cards left at Lacey and a ton of ROTS figures.

[machiwoomiapoo]

I found Dusty today at Lacey Wal-Fart and decided to buy the peg warmers Snake Eyes (visor comes off and I love the Uzis) and Duke (Cool looking figure). They have a ton of new vehicles just sitting on the shelf all week. I think they'll all be at Ross in 3 months for half the price. I'm still searching for TRU Spirit and Quick-Dick. Does anyone have an extra set or should I just get them off evilbay. I'm also looking for Recondo and the Alley Viper.

Peace

[Lonzo Calrizzan]

^

hate to say it bud, but recondo is avg at best. Great accessories, but that's kinda it. His head has got a perma-hunch and doesnt move very well and his articulation doesnt compliment his weapons very much.

That said, it's only my personal opinion and I have one loose complete that I'd be happy to trade if you're dying for it. Lemmie know offline if you have something you'd wanna swap it for.

Now, on the the other stuff, I scooped up a JV and he has by the far the COOLEST recoil-less sniper rifle i'd ever seen since god from Navy Seals or Rock Viper (sorry snow job). Zartan was pretty cool. Promo-material had his old brown hood, but the tan one was pretty cool and his accessories are probably the coolest I'd seen (detail-wise) for any joe.

On a different stop I was talking to one of the Employees at the Everett TRU and he's a collector and told me that about a couple weeks ago they in a box of ONLY Q-dicks & Spirits and that's the only thing they've gotten since wave 1. That said, we all know when it rains it pours at TRU so they could be either around the corner in abundance (like Orange Sherbert Doc), or never to be seen again... ;) Like the DVD battles 5 with Alpine (*sigh.......)

I dunno, I'll give a few weekns before I start ebay-in it up.

[machiwoomiapoo]

I went ahead and bought Quick-Dick and Spirit off evilbay. Recondo rocks! I bought Alpine DVD Pack from D&S Toys so long ago for regular price. I never understand why some things are not distributed well. That stinks for everyone. I heard Fred Fire is getting Wave 2 and SW Wave ROTS and they have a 20% off sale which can be combined with the 10% sale in the newspaper. I guess I'll have to stop by Fred Fire soon.

Peace

[Primo_Baddest]

anywhere in green lake area with dusty and zartans stocked?

[TheRealDubya]

anywhere in green lake area with dusty and zartans stocked?

As in the Greenlake neighborhood in north Seattle?

Pop up to Northgate Target; then check the two Fred Meyers near you: 85th & Greenwood (closest to you) and the Ballard location off of Leary.

I'm going out today, so I'll let you know what I see.

Saw tons of Dustys and Zartans this weekend. TRU Northgate, Aurora Fred Meyer and Greenwood Fred Meyer.

Anyone seen the 25th re-issues at TJ Maxx yet, locally?

[machiwoomiapoo]

Olympia TRU had the Slave 1 wannabe OTC Slave 1 for the attractable price of $109.99. They also had the speeder bike packs, wave 1, and a few CW left overs. The good news is they had JOE wave 2 in stock! Yeah, I finally found Recondo! Olympia Target had SW wave 1, JOE wave 2, and the AT-AT was back on the shelf! Happy hunting! Yes, plenty of Dusty, Zartan, Jungle Viper, etc. at Olympia TRU.

[Lonzo Calrizzan]

machiwoomiapoo, did That recondo work for ya? :)

[USAgent]

Federal way walmart has a ton of wave 2 figures.jungle vipers galore along with 2recondos that I saw.this is the walmart at the end of 18

[machiwoomiapoo]

Yeah, Recondo is sweet. I just got Big Lob in the mail via evilbay $31, Vader AFA 85 12 back A (too much), and Cameo's Anthology (Word Up!). My homie in Shelton found the last 2 foil carded SW vintage figures Obi-Ben Doggy and Clone Trooper (Variation 1,000,300,001). Well, back to youtube to watch GI JOE Gung Ho Commercial:
YouTube - G.I Joe Dubbed video: Sandwich (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYelFySexWo)
I love those dubbed commercials.

Peace

[machiwoomiapoo]

I saw Spirit and Quick-Dong at the Olympia TRU. Too bad I already paid double for them. I should never be impatient with new toys. Most the time, even if they are rare, you can get them for really cheap eventually. Even SDCC Cobra Commander with the black suit sold for $17.50 the other day on evilbay. The blue one sold for $25! Wow! I may finally bid on set of these. Check out this 25th lot that sold for $406:
25th Anniversary GI Joe HUGE lot 88 figs 7 vehicles Doc - eBay (item 250689210392 end time Sep-04-10 20:04:07 PDT) (http://cgi.ebay.com/25th-Anniversary-GI-Joe-HUGE-lot-88-figs-7-vehicles-Doc-/250689210392?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a5e3dc818)
That's like between 4 to 5 dollars a figures plus all those vehicles.

Keep the hunt on.

[errantentertainment]

I've been slowly thinning my collection too, and putting them up on eBay. Right now I just have a few 80's loose joes up and a lot of Star Wars figs (more SW figs being listed tonite), but I will be putting up some more Joe vehicles. (Warthog, TF Rattler, HISS Tanks, Mamba, etc..)


I've been having a good time this season hunting POC though. After buying two jungle vipers off HasbroToyShop for roughly $10 each I ended up finding one on sale at Fred Meyer in my area for $5.59. I broke my own rule and wasn't patient hehe. Oh well, I have a couple extra to trade with I guess.

Looking forward to the next waves of the vintage style SW figs and Wave 3 of POC. Happy hunting!

[machiwoomiapoo]

Late report. I went to the Puyallup Fair on Sunday and found the CW wave at the TRU there. I bought that dude that looks like Boba. He was pretty cool. I left the others. Puyallup TRU has some seriously old toys. I took back my At-At to Wal-Fart in Lacey on Monday night, but no new Jabba Thrones there yet. I decided to wait for the vintage style boxed AT-AT. It's way cooler. Does anyone know why there's a clone trooper on the front of the new AT-AT box? Also, why does a speeder bike pop out of its rear end? That's a real constipated At-At. Anyway, did anyone hit ROSS? I heard they're getting Wave 5 GI Joe vehicles like the Stinger, Arctic Hiss, etc. They received the At-Sts last year. Maybe they'll get the Jabba first!?!? That's some weird poo-poo (they censor everything on the rebelscum board).

Peace

[machiwoomiapoo]

I saw the clone trooper and mandalorian battle packs at Lacey Wal-Fart. My friend bought a Sandtrooper Foil card in perfect condition along with Kitty Pride. I found Storm with mohawk, Kitty Pride, Captain America, and Havoc at Lacey Target. I also saw some battle packs there too. I didn't see any vintage AT-AT at TRU yet OR the Vintage Target Exclusive vehicles either. I'm sure they're just around the corner though. I bought the new CW R2 and Flame Thrower Snow Trooper looking dude at Wal-Fart in Lacey. GI Joe was the same old stuff. I'm still looking for that wave 1 Alley Viper. I think I'll have to get him on the bay. Happy hunting!

[machiwoomiapoo]

I called Tacoma TRU last night to make sure they had the vintage style box, had them hold it for me, got the best box possible (MISB collector...sigh), bought it, received the $10 gift card, used it for Nikto, and left super super happy. That's the coolest box I've seen since 1980! Although the box looks much smaller next to my vintage ESB MISB AT AT box, it is still very beautiful! It gives me goose bumps to see that old style box again. Hasbro knows how to make me have a nerdgasm. There were 5 AT-ATs and about 14 Niktos left at the Tacoma TRU. I want to buy a second AT-AT to open, but I want to wait for the better price next year. I wonder how long the vintage style box will set on the shelf? They had JOE wave 2 along with the TRU Exclusive Quick-Dong. Happy hunting!

Hey just wanted to say glad your finding what your looking for! and say thanks for taking time to post how your hunts are going and you know sharing everything!

[commentor]

GI Joe was the same old stuff. I'm still looking for that wave 1 Alley Viper. I think I'll have to get him on the bay. Happy hunting!

I hear that! i have not seen any of wave 1 lately:( only see snake eyes from wave 1, November could not come too soon! I
need to get 2 better storm shadows, and find a second commander but I fear going to ebay as my luck in stores finding well painted figures for this line has been a chore:( so i would hate to pay shipping and end up with poorly painted figures:(

[RogueReSCuE]

I hit the Ross in South Hill. RoC 5 pack with female Dial Tone. A lot of ARAH Ghost Hawks. Sky Sweeper Jet, Mole Pod, and Snarler Cycle.

Ross in Lynnwood sucks. don't waste your time.

TJ Maxx in Everett. Gung Ho comic pack. Rock N Roll/Deep Six comic pack. Scrap Iron/Wild Bill comic pack. A couple ARAH Sharcs and Flight Pod set. good deals there.

I scored 1 stinger an arctic hiss, flak cannon, and a ghost hawk at Lynnwood Ross early last week. I just don't think they have restocked yet.

[USAgent]

lots and lots and lots of POC QuickKick and Spirit at the Puyallup Toys r Us for anyone still looking for them.

[Lonzo Calrizzan]

Anyone know when POC Waves 3 & 4 are looking to drop? I gots mah eye on Low Light and I think Billy er, um Spirit wants another crack @ Predator... ;)

Other than that, I'm on a semi-retirement. Star Warts seems to be in reissue hell right now and nothing else is jumpin out at me until that world war hulk is available on the marvel-end.

Just kinda biding my time for now. Saw the New TRU @ southcenter and came away impressed.

[ViceGripX]

Scored the Arctic HISS and FLAK sets at the TRU Express for $10 each at the Supermall yesterday. The Ghost HAWK and Stinger remain. They only had one of each, but there may be more in back. Marshalls at the Supermall has a bunch of comic packs for $7 each and the Crimson Guard wave of 25th figures for $4 each as well as a ton of various Combat heroes at the same price.

[ViceGripX]

2 each of the AWE Striker and Ice Cutter at the Lakewood Target. I bought 1 Ice Cutter, leaving the rest.

[jimmynguyen41]

*WANTED*
THIS PIECE OF CRAP HAS BEEN BUYING UP NEW TOYS (MOST RECENTLY DCUC WAVE15) REMOVING THE FIGURE AND C&C PIECE AND THEN RETURNING THE PACKAGE WITH A DIFFERENT OLDER FIGURE IN IT'S PLACE. HE REPLACES THE COLLECTOR PINS WITH THE DC PINS THAT WERE HANDED OUT FOR FREE AT ECCC LAST YEAR.
IN THE PAST TWO DAYS HE HAS RIPPED OFF THE KENT K-MART FOR AT LEAST 6 NEW DCUC WAVE 5 FIGURES.

THIS IS THE, OR ONE OF THE PRICKS THAT HAS BEEN SCREWING US FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS AT MOST OF OUR LOCAL HUNTING SPOTS.

I'M SORRY FOR THE CRAPPY PICS, BUT THIS IS THE BEST WE COULD GET RIGHT NOW. IF ANYBODY RECOGNIZES OR KNOWS WHO THIS SCUM BAG IS, PLEASE SHARE WITH THE GROUP. I AM IN CONTACT WITH THE LOSS PREVENTION PEOPLE AT A FEW DIFFERENT STORES AND THEY ARE READY TO PRESS CHARGES IF THIS GUY IS CAUGHT.
PLEASE COPY AND PASTE THESE PICS TO THE OTHER FORUMS THAT YOU ALL VISIT AND GET THESE PICS OUT TO AS MANY PLACES AND OTHER COLLECTORS EYES AS POSSIBLE. WE NEED HELP TO FIND OUT WHO THIS IS.

this has been posted in most of all forums with WA state sightings. This guy has been buying DCUC and various other toys and repackaging them with other parts. He is wanted by loss prevention by various stores. please report him if you see him.

[Derek2783]

ROSS in Tacoma has several of the arctic HISS, one FLAK, and at least three Ghost Hawks.

No sign of stingers.

One lone RoC desert 5pk in the front.

As a note, no freaking KMart anywhere has the AT-AT in stock.

Also, Normally I would post this in my BST list, but since they're sizable and heavy, local sale for pickup is the only thing that makes since. :D With my entire collection being sold, I will soon have two very nice IKEA Bertby display cabinets for sale. These run $98 after tax at the IKEA in South Center. I'll also include a set of $15 stainless steel legs I used to give them some real support (other than the crappy plastic bar it came with... that'll fall right off the wall!)

Anyone interested in buying them, shoot me an offer.

[machiwoomiapoo]

Hola,
I called Chehalis, Olympia and Lakewood KFart and nobody has the At-At, much less have it for $49.99 like Yakface/Rebelscum said. Anyone else look into this? Did they have them online for $49.99!? If so, I must have missed that sale because the only thing popping up now is the Galactic Kids At-At. Oh well, let me know if you actually scored one! I'm totally interested if you are wanting to sell one too! I managed to get the Vintage style boxed AT-AT from TRU for about $89.99 after all my coupons, but I want to keep that one sealed. I guess I can get the Wal-Fart AT-AT for 79.99 next week. That's a great deal too, but not as good as Kfart. Too bad KFart didn't make an advertisement for it. That would have been an excellent price match item for Wal-Fart. All these Farts make this posting really stink. LOL! Yeah, I know, totally cheezie. See you all in Tacoma in 2 weeks for the next Sarlacc meeting. I haven't hit any store since I bought the exclusives at Target. I don't want to spend anymore money.

I already have the Artic Hiss, Stinger, Flak from BBTS a long time ago. It's good to hear these are finally showing up on the shelves again. If I see the stinger again, I may have to pick it up. Who am I kidding...no room for that either. Anyone else running out of room for all these toys!?
Peace

[RogueReSCuE]

anyone found comic packs with iron grenadier?

[RogueReSCuE]

anyone found the new vamp?

[Deceptichage]

There are about three of the Comic Packs with Iron Grenadier/Viper at Auburn Marshalls yesterday. No Vamp yet. Only the Alpha Vehicles so far.

[Steeler58]

RogueReSCuE I met you last week at Bellevue Toys R Us. You said you wanted to get your son a Steeler figure well Marshals at the Super-Mall has the Steeler/Serpentor vehicle two pack if you are still interested. They also had the kamakura wave of roc figs, but no Kamakura when i was there.

[RogueReSCuE]

Crimson Twins comic pack anyone?

[Derek2783]

Sumner Fred Meyer has PoC Waves 1 and 2 - multiple Jungle Vipers, Recondo, Dusty, etc. Only missing the Alley Vipers (I didn't buy 'em, someone else did).

They're also on sale for $5.

[Deceptichage]

Fred Meyers is also getting the Alpha vehicles in. No Bravos anywhere yet.

[RogueReSCuE]

any POC Firefly?

[Deceptichage]

There is one at Federal Way Walmart this morning

[RogueReSCuE]

I read in another forum that RoC Wal Mart two packs are showing up at Ross. (tunnel rat/monkey wrench, night creeper/shockblast and gung ho/copperhead)

anyone seen them at the Ross's in washington?

[Steeler58]

Just picked up a few Wal Mart two packs at Ross in Tukwila they had all three but only 3-4 of each. The Renton Ross was cleaned out only T.R./M.W are left. Happy Hunting!

did you get them? i would pay you for tunnel rat/monkey wrench

[machiwoomiapoo]

I finally found GI Joe Wave 1 Cobra Commander at the Vancouver Wal-Fart. I left behind Beachhead and a couple other wave one figures. I saw a Skyhawk at the new TRU Express next to the Target in Vancouver, Washington as well. I went ahead and bought all the figures I needed from the BOGO sale at K-Fart. I saw some Ackbars at the Target in Lacey. I must have missed the Gamorrean Guard there. I also saw the Endor Soldier, Ackbar, and Jedi Luke at Tumwater Fred Fire. The Portland Comic Show was fun as well. I found a 12" OTC KB Exclusive Chewbacca for $23, 2 carded and one loose Kenner Alien figures from the mid-90's, and almost bought an R2-D2 Backpack. I did hit almost every Target, Wal-Fart, and Freddy on the way, but most of them didn't even have the ROTJ wave or anything interesting. Wait a second, I saw the new GI JOE vehicles at the Target in Portland, the Ice Something w/Snow Serpent and another repaint of the AWE Striker. Well, happy hunting. Take care!

[Steeler58]

@ RogueRescue I did not pick up the mw/tr pack. I can check the Renton store today. If they have it I'll pick it up and let you know. Do you still need it?

[Derek2783]

Anyone see a Resurgence of the Jedi battle pack around?

[iowajedi]

Anyone see a Resurgence of the Jedi battle pack around?

Are these the Target 2-packs? If so, I've seen them at the Redmond Target.

[Steeler58]

@ roguerescue I picked up a Tunnel Rat/Monkeywrench 2pk. Do you still need it?

[machiwoomiapoo]

I finally found an Alley Viper, Firefly, and Cobra Commander at the West Olympia Target. It's nice to know wave 1 is still out there! I left Snow Job and the others. Happy hunting!

[Steeler58]

The wave 2 vehicles hinting ross stores I found the black Hiss today at Renton Ross.

[Primo_Baddest]

hey fellow washingtonians! I have come on some hard financial times, and am looking to sell most of my collection at one time, I dont want to ship and I dont want to part out.

Mainly if you are intersted in some ARAH vehicles and some ME custom figs and vehicles I would like to have you over to my house and take it with you. my email is jhopwood86@yahoo.com I have some stuff listed on ebay right now but if you show interest in that stuff I can unlist it.

thanks

[TU482]

To anyone in the Spokane area, I was out today and noticed the White Elephant store has POC alpha vehicles for 12.88, and they had all of them except the Dreadnok bike.
Also, I just found this shop in Spokane called Time Bomb Collectibles and they have a lot of carded Mexican and International Joes, Ninja Force, and loose ARAH vehicles in good condition.

[turnokski]

I bought 5 cobra fury and 4 black hisstank at ross in seattle.. they still have a lot of stocks.

[Derek2783]

For any of you SW guys, there's 5 Rebel Commandoes hanging on the pegs at the Sumner FM - there's also a Buy-1-Get-1 sale on all starwars figures at Fred Meyers starting tomorrow at 7am.

[Derek2783]

Dang man, I wish I woulda seen this earlier. I would a bit a little bit more for that Slice! Hope things get better man.

ALLEY VIPER and all of Wave 1 and 2 in the TOYZAM at south hill mall in the south hill

[Derek2783]

Fred Meyers has AT-ATs for $59.99, plus you get 10% off, making them $54. Today only!

[machiwoomiapoo]

Too bad I've never seen an AT-AT at either the Fred Meyers I live near...sigh.

[machiwoomiapoo]

Fred Meyers has AT-ATs for $59.99, plus you get 10% off, making them $54. Today only!

Sorry, but that must be for your area only. Tumwater still had them priced at $89.99 and both Tumwater and Lacey are sold out. I bought mine at Lacey Target for $80. Still not a bad deal for such a super sweet toy. I stopped by Ross and all the Hiss Tanks and Furys are Gone except two that have been tampered with (figure removed). I saw a Cobra Commander wave 1 at Lacey Wal-Fart yesterday! I left it since I already bought one last month at the Wal-Fart in Vancouver, Washington. I have a feeling the AT-AT will be on sale somewhere else soon, so keep those receipts! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[errantentertainment]

Same around here in Everett. I just got back from Freddys up the road from me and they are still at $89.99 + 10% off all toys.

[Steeler58]

Canceled Target Exc sets are at Ross in Issaqua 4 sets left. They are scattered all over one shelf In the back. Good luck!!!!!

[mynameis]

can somebody grab me 3-4 range viper packs. i want to set up a jungle display wit my jungle vipers. i got lots for trade or i can pay cost plus shipping
thank you

[Steeler58]

I will keep checking other stores and see what I can find. Maybe my brother can check that store again he works close to the store.

[machiwoomiapoo]

I found the
* Arctic Threat-Air Assault Glider with Capt. Ace
* Desert Battle-RAM Cycle with Sandstorm
at the Ross in Olympia. I called the Ross in Tacoma and Lakewood, but they wouldn't even bother looking on the shelf for the other two. Does anyone have a set of the
* City Strike-Cobra Flight Pod with Elite Viper
* Jungle Assault-Jungle Terror Twin Battle Gun with Range Viper
I'm going to try the Lakewood and Tacoma Ross. Issaquah is a little out of my range. Happy hunting!

[machiwoomiapoo]

I found the
* City Strike-Cobra Flight Pod with Elite Viper
* Jungle Assault-Jungle Terror Twin Battle Gun with Range Viper
at the Lakewood, Washington ROSS. They had a few left. Thanks to my homies for a ride up there.
Happy hunting and Merry Christmas!

[TheRealDubya]

Just found this wave at Northgate. Good luck.

Dude! Score! Is that the Low Light Wave? I guess I'm going to have to start hitting Target too. Good job!

[TheRealDubya]

Dude! Score! Is that the Low Light Wave? I guess I'm going to have to start hitting Target too. Good job!

PoC "Wave 3"/2011 Wave 1 is the Snake-Eyes ("definitive"), Cobra Shock Trooper, "Colonial Marine" Duke and "Shredder" Storm Shadow wave.

PoC "Wave 4"/2011 Wave 2 is the wave with Low Light, Skydive, Shadow Tracker and City Strike "Gatling Gun" Destro. That wave hasn't surfaced anywhere in the US yet.

They had plenty of these yesterday. I'm sure there will still be plenty of Duke and Storm Shadow figures left today.

[commentor]

Well tried the Northgate again Only about 2 Dukes and 2 storm shadows from wave 3.

[TU482]

Anyone going to Seattle Comicon? I just got my tickets, and found out Larry Hama, Tom Feister, and Brandon Jerwa will be there (for all you Joe fans).
I have way too many comics to get signed this year, and I hear that Hama is a really nice dude.

[gringo]

Woodinville target has wave 3. I got one of the employees to bring out the end cap display.

[commentor]

@gringo wow Great Job I hope the other targets around us do that too! I bet it was a sight to see? So I hope this proves how well joes can sell when given the space and the "right Case" assortment?

[errantentertainment]

Woodinville target has wave 3. I got one of the employees to bring out the end cap display.
I must have got there right afterward. Of course there were no cobra police left but plenty of snake eyes, duke, and storm shadow...

[machiwoomiapoo]

Yo,
I found the ESB Star Wars 9 pack for $35. Thank goodness I kept my receipt to get the original price back! I also went by TRU to get the AT-AT and X-Wing Lego sets and received a free lego backpack. They have a sale going on. Both Target and TRU had a bunch of the new lego sets.

I saw remnants of the Thanos Marvel wave, but no Thanos.

I also found Duke and Stormshadow at the Olympia Target. I still need to locate the new Snake Eyes and the Shock Trooper. I already paid full price for Jabba and the Tie Bomber, oh well.

Happy hunting and Happy New Year!

[Derek2783]

Hama's coming to Comic-Con? Fantastic!!!

I now have to go this year, just for that. Jerwa's a cool dude too. Don't know anything about Feister, but his work is awesome.

[Derek2783]

Sumner Fred Meyer (yeah it's a ways out there) has the latest wave of Marvel Universe - still had Captain Marvel, Spiderwoman, Spiderman, Iron Man, and Doc Samson as of 3:30pm.

[Steeler58]

My brother found a ROC Vamp today at Ross in Lynnwood it is pretty cool. Start checking Ross for these. Happy Hunting

[machiwoomiapoo]

I found the last Vamp at Ross in Olympia! They had the Monkey Wrench/Tunnel Rat 2 pack too. They also had 2 Fury's left. I found Snake Eyes and the Shock Trooper on the end caps at Lacey Target! Last 2. I guess I lucked out this time. I bought an Ewok Village, Loose vintage Jabba (the one I owned lost his arm due to his fat and gravity), and some Street Fighter Joes at Scott's store in Lynnwood and a Vintage Luke Jedi and R2 at Bobacon in Everett. It was a good week. Happy Hunting!

[Serpymatt]

You guys are super lucky... I never have any luck finding Joes. I live down in Grays Harbor which pretty much seems to be a Joe-free zone - the Wal Mart has nothing and our Ross is always toy free when I check.

[Lonzo Calrizzan]

Scooped up a low light & a Predator, er um, I mean Shadow Tracker from a comic store in Everett... Both are SICK. Shadow Tracker is probably the coolest original non-viper since Gnagahyde. Comes with a bunch of non-firearm accessories and predator-esque spears, nets and knives.

The Low light takes me back to when I was a kid because all of those little weapons that came attached to him that u wished u could remove are all accessories now. ;) pretty slick. He reminds me of God from navy seals.

[Derek2783]

WHAAAA? Lowlight is local?! HOT DANG.

[Serpymatt]

Awesome news :) After posting that I can find nothing, I wound up finding a Black HISS and the MARS 3 pack at the local Ross :)

Here's hoping we see Wave 4 down this way or at least some one leaves me some scraps when we run to Oly ;)

[errantentertainment]

Woodinville and Everett Targets have a new endcap so-to-speak. Basically just a shelf with loose Joe and SW figs laying on it. Saw remnants of the Cobra Trooper wave but no sign of Lowlight wave yet. Haven't seen much new at Freddy's but the Everett Toys R Us had the latest wave of DCU (Kyle Rayner, Black Hand, and Sinestro Corps figs). Friggin awesome looking IMO. Be careful at the 164th Wal*Mart, there is a repacker returning the Martian Manhunter wave of DCU, swapping out the BAF parts with old Atom Smasher bits.

On a side note, if anyone is Everett local and wants a bunch of vintage joe vehicles and maybe even some TMNT stuff please let me know. I don't feel like hassling with trying to ship them over eBay. Just PM me please. I'll update my B/S/T thread soon with images too.

[errantentertainment]

Passed over more Dukes and a Snake Eyes from the latest wave at Woodinville Target on my way home again today. Still holding out hope I'll be able to find one of the Cobra Troopers soon.

BTW, I updated my BST thread with images and prices. Thx for looking.

[Steeler58]

If anyone is looking for a Sandserpent Jet there is 3 at the Bellevue Ross. I have one and it's actually a pretty cool repaint of the Night Raven jet.

[machiwoomiapoo]

I saw 2 sets at the Lacey Wal-Fart. Most were pretty damaged. I wanted Luke Starbucker, but they were all crushed. I like wave 5's Luke Starbucker, Ham Salad, Stormtrooper, and R5-D4 (Hey this R2 unit has a bad motivator!? Luke is such a...). I picked up Ham Salad (a nice carded one), R5-D4 and a crushed carded Stormtrooper (I'm opening one up anyway, so I gotta find a decent carded one too). I will be passing on Wave 4 (AOTC), so more for you guys. I haven't found any JOEs this week OR Marvel. Still looking for Thanos. He'll be re-released next year so everyone can get one, just like the Grey/Red/Green Hulks last year. I'm going hunting a little today before I try to get into the OZZY concert! I'm so excited about finally seeing him. My goal is to see all the old musicians before they die. Peace out and Happy Hunting!

[Kevin]

Picked up Low-Light at Target in Kenewick today.

[Djinvasor]

Got low light and skydive at south center target. Still have the Shock troopers and Alley Viper if you still need those.

[errantentertainment]

Woodinville Target has the full AOTC wave. Passed on those. Nothing new in Marvel U or Joe though.

Also, wanted to remind locals that I still have a couple boxes of vintage stuff I want to get rid of. Check the first page of my BST thread for images (link in sig). I want to get rid of it all so if you're interested I'd offload all that stuff for $100, minus the Mamba (which I'd like to get $40 for it since its complete w/ filecard)

[Serpymatt]

Was in Oly/Lacey last Friday and no Low Light to be found... this is turning out to be very frustrating. Hopefully one will pop up sometime and not at the outrageous prices that are being asked for him online.

[krone16]

Are there any good toy shops in Seattle area that sell joes?

[machiwoomiapoo]

Got low light and skydive at south center target. Still have the Shock troopers and Alley Viper if you still need those.
I too found these dudes at Lacey WalFart. Someone bent the corners of all the figures, just like they did the vintage Star Wars figures last week. Thankfully I like to open the latest Joes, so I bought them anyway. BTW, is it just Low Light and Skydive in the most recent wave? I bought the Snake Eyes, Stormshadow, Duke, and Shock Trooper at Target about a month ago.
Peace

[machiwoomiapoo]

Sorry, I found the last Skydive and Low Light at the WalFart in Lacey today. So, they must be coming out everywhere now. You won't be sad if you like mint cards though. They're all bent at Lacey right now. Happy hunting!

[Derek2783]

Hey, do any of you guys have a copy if Marvel GI Joe #1 you'd be willing to sell?

I'd like to get one signed at ECCC, but I didn't think about it until just now, and none of the shops around have one. I'd pay a premium price. PM me if you can help me out!

[Steeler58]

I have one but I think it is a second print. Let me know if you want it.

[Steeler58]

I forgot to mention Ross in Federal Way had the cancelled ROC Alpha Vehicles. I resisted and left them alone.

[Derek2783]

Huge thanks to Steeler58 for the hookup!!!

[Steeler58]

You are welcome my friend.

[Derek2783]

Note to all you guys thinking about going to ECCC - Larry Hama isn't there. He got sick and didn't make it. Just FYI.

[Steeler58]

I was wondering why I could not find him.

[Derek2783]

Anyone going back tomorrow? I decided there's a Feister print I wanted (the Joes one opposite the Cobra "fight" one), and should have got today when I was there. Kicking myself now. PM me if you're going!

[Derek2783]

I was wondering why I could not find him.

Yeah. Bummer huh? Hey, glad you were able to make it though. Did you take your kid?

[Steeler58]

I took both my kids and it was pretty fun minus Hama. Very crowded compared to the last time i went 2 years ago. Maybe Hama will come back next year. Fingers crossed

[Derek2783]

[bloth]

Hi all,
I'm driving to Portland this weekend from Vancouver, BC and want to stop at a few places along the way to check for GI Joes.
Any specific Walmart/TRU/Target/Ross locations I should hit up? I will be sticking to the I-5.
Interested in finding a couple Shock vipers, POC wave 4, TRU and Target exclusives that might be around still, old 25th stock, stuff like that.
Thanks!

[TheRealDubya]

Just plug them all in your GPS and hit those off ramps :)

I can only speak for the Greater Seattle area (including a little northern and eastern reports), but the Ross, TJ Maxx and Marshall's stores are pretty picked clean -just a few PoC Furies and VAMPS.

Toys R Us: Bellevue, Lynwood and Northgate locations don't have anything exciting for Joes.

Walmarts: Mill Creek and Everett had nothing as of last weekend.

Target: Mainly PoC Wave 2 2010 remainders at Redmond, Lynnwood, Northgate and Factoria.

Fred Meyer: I am pretty sure they are starting to get Wave 2 2011, Revision 3 cases in now, as I saw remnants of that last Saturday at the Ballard location. That is this case, for the record:

79858

And I don't know of any good comic or collectibles shops that traffic in current Joe product (there's a few that have older stuff.)

Your best bet is right in your backyard:

Toy Traders
#150-19888 Langley Bypass
Langley, British Columbia
Canada
V3A 4Y1

That is literally the best toy store I've ever been in.


I lived in Vancouver for 3 years and that place is, simply put, action figure heaven.

Toy Traders | Digital Doodles (http://www.digitaldoodles.com/dp/200906/toy-traders)

[bloth]

Wow thanks!
Guess I will just randomly stop at a few and hope they have been restocked. Didn't think of fred Meyer.

I just discovered Langley toy traders about a month ago. I walked around in there for a good hour trying to get a look at a few of the dioramas. Amazing! So many terrordomes...

[machiwoomiapoo]

Yeah, I try to go there everytime I head up that way. It is really awesome! I posted some pictures awhile back. I'm going to see Katy Perry on July 19th. I would have gone to the Seattle show on July 20th, but I must get down to the San Diego Comi-con for preview night! I'm so excited about July! Megatron/Skystriker/Cobra Commander/Star Scream combo jet! That's the coolest con exclusive in years! I won't wait in line for it, but I'll gladly pay extra instead. I tried waiting in line once and Hasblow wouldn't let me join the line!?!? What a bunch of dingle berries.
Later,

[errantentertainment]

Absolutely ziltch along the Joe lines. I cannot find any new figure anywhere. Star Wars is shaping up to be the same way. Not sure if I just missed the entire ceremonial Han way or what.

I just got back from the Evergreen Fred Meyer in Everett and picked up one each of the Lando wave. There was still a full wave on the pegs when I left.

Anyone know why the waves are scarce right now? Seems like it's been this way since last year...

[RogueReSCuE]

Everett comic shop has the best selection, picked up low light and shadow tracker. Plenty of Skydive there.
Anyone seen WalMart two packs in the wild?

[jimmynguyen41]

the 2 packs are at Ross and TJmaxxx/Marshal

[RogueReSCuE]

Which Ross/TJ Maxx/Marshall? I went to South Hill Ross and Federal Way TJ Maxx

[RogueReSCuE]

Anyone seen PoC wave 3 snake eyes?

[machiwoomiapoo]

Hola,
I found Luke, Padme, Guard, and Weequay yesterday, but no Lando? I saw all the others but passed on them. I did find Jean Grey at the Tacoma TRU last night, yeah! GI Joe is not even at the Lacey Wal-Fart anymore.
Lame

[RogueReSCuE]

Where can I find aayla secura? And when is the wave with barris coming out?

[RogueReSCuE]

Weird ..wave4 Destro and PoC alley viper are at walgreens in Graham.

Crimson hydra and steel crusher are 15$ at toys r us in south hill

RoC ram, trouble bouble, glider and twin guns are at Ross in south hill

[RogueReSCuE]

Anyone have a loose roc kamakura, desert ambush Scarlett or 25th crimson twins they want to sell me?

[Derek2783]

Hey dudes. I have this Iron Man 2 cardboard standee, and it's pretty cool, but I have zero room for it. Hate to recycle it, so it's FREE to the first tanker to tell me they can pick it up TODAY. PM me.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v211/derek2783/photo.jpg

[Derek2783]

^still available, still free...

[Sith Alleyviper]

I was out doing to toy run today with a buddy and found that the White Elephant in Spokane Valley and restocked with a bunch of wave 1-3 figs,picked up two Alley Vipers and a Shocktrooper but there were still quite a few left.

[Wylde Weezle]

Hi guys, new to area and just got stationed at JBLM. Saw a bunch of Alley Vipers and Shock Troopers as well as strappy Snake Eyes at the Lakewood Wal Mart. Seems to be the only one carrying Joes. I still need a Destro and Shadowtracker - any leads on those two?

[machiwoomiapoo]

I found Croc Master at TRU today. Yeah, I used to call him something else too. Anyway, the Wars section was dry. I'm still looking for Lando w/ his bottle of Colt 45 and wife beater shirt. I saw him at the Lacey Wal-Fart, but someone bent the card. I'm trying to get a nice carded version. Does anyone have one out there? Anyway, I just pre-ordered all the upcoming Joes off BBTS since Wal-Fail stopped selling them and they've almost been impossible to find. I'm looking for the Jungle Viper and Destro (weapons version) as well. Finally, Mystique and Thanos have been impossible to find as well. I was happy to find Croc Master today. I guess it's a start. Happy hunting! I'm going back to collecting Vintage. They're easier to find on the forums and evilbay. BTW, I'm hosting the next Star Wars get to together. PEACE!

[errantentertainment]

The Everett/Lynnwood area has been void of anything new for what seems like ages. I've been able to find some unpunched Lando wave figures at various Fred Meyers but thats it. Ziltch for Joes or Marvel.

Right now my wishlist includes Thanos, Luke, Han, R5-D4, and Shock Trooper but so far I'm comin up dry... It's the suck! LOL

[invicid]

Checked Bellevue TRU today. Nothing new. Only had a few Joes on the rack.

[machiwoomiapoo]

I saw Skydive, Shock Troopers, and Duke at Lacey Target! There is hope. Happy hunting!

[Steeler58]

The Renton Target has the new Joes. It looked like one case was put out I picked up Crazy Legs, Snake eyes, Rock Viper, And Iron Grenadier. I left 1 Viper, 2 Crockmasters, 1 IG, and 1 Rock Viper. I was temped to clean house but thought somebody might want some troops. Happy Hunting!!!!!!

This is good news. There's too many collectors around here and a few scalpers, so I just ordered them from BBTS. I don't have to hunt so hard, they're basically the same price, and I don't have to pay for gas. Wow! I'm getting to old to hunt...

Fast and Furious 5,0000000000

Later

[errantentertainment]

Woodinville Target had the Lando wave yesterday when I was there. Nothing else though, no new Joe or Marvel stuff. That place has been a desert for what seems like ages. Not sure if they aren't ordering new stock or what...

BBTS and EE are both too spendy for my preference so it's looking more and more like I'll be significantly scaling back my collecting if Woodinville doesn't start ordering soon. I don't really go out of my way to hunt anymore and that Target is the only one on my way in to work unfortunately...

[Steeler58]

Renton Target is by the gym so I pop in there after I get Juiced. GTL, gym-toys-laundry LOL!!! I am so kidding. I ordered the Low Light wave from EE because they had a sale and I couldn't find them any where. of course as soon as I got the wave I saw it in the wild. Gas prices make me sick.

[errantentertainment]

Gas prices make me sick.

OMG, I hear you. I keep thinking about selling my car and getting an electric car so I can afford to start hunting again....but then if I do that I wont have enough to buy toys...FAIL LOL

[machiwoomiapoo]

I finally found Thanos at Lacey Wal-Fart at 12:30am. They must've just stocked them up. No Mystique. They had no new vintage waves, but they did have some of those clone figures that looked newer (boba, clint eastwood with rice paddy hat, and some more clone troopers with a new paint job). They have 2 Destro figures from 2 years ago on the shelf. I thought all the JOE stuff was gone. I found almost all the TRON figures on sale at Target in Lacey for $5.99. Yeah, I'm a total fan after hearing Daft Punk's Soundtrack seeing the visuals and watching the greatest sequel I've seen since Empire. Anyhoo, I bought 6 figures: Clu, Rinzler, Black Guard, Jarvis, Quorra, and Clu's Sentry. I'm still looking for Kevin Flynn, Sam Flynn, and Castor. Hopefully, they're somewhere out there. I ended up buying the Light Jet, Deluxe Light Runner, and the Kevin Flynn's Light Cycle. They figures are articulated and pretty cool! I wish I still had my old figures from when the first movie came out. Oh well, I can probably locate them on evilbay. Well, happy hunting and don't forget to save some cash for MOTHER's DAY next weekend and THOR (Imax 3D). I just saw Fast Five in Imax. It was a total action film. Go enjoy it! I'm hosting the Sarlacc meeting on May 21st. Hopefully I'll see most of you there. Peace!

[errantentertainment]

Wow, grats man! That's one figure I doubt I'll ever see on the pegs. Fortunately though I heard it will be re-released in another wave later on. (Here's hoping)

Now, if they just release that GI Joe cycle armor at retail...

[Steeler58]

I just read in a Hasbro Q&A that the cycle armor and hiss scout are most likely going to be some stores exclusive. They haven't found a taker yet. I bet it will be ROSS.

[machiwoomiapoo]

I stopped by the new Ross down here in Olympia. They had the JOE Cobra bubble, desert raven, Fury, and Vamp.

i've got kevin flynn. i picked it up today after reading your post

[machiwoomiapoo]

i've got kevin flynn. i picked it up today after reading your post

I found him at the Chehalis K-Fart just before I read your e-mail. Sorry man. You wanted him too, right? If not, I'm sorry, but I already have him now. I found an aqua droid from clone wars too. They didn't have any JOE at K-Fart or Wal-Fart in Chehalis. It's a sad time for JOE...

[machiwoomiapoo]

I received the Crazy Legs wave from BBTS. Totally awesome figures! I'm preordering everything until Hasbro starts distributing figures better. What about you all?

[RogueReSCuE]

I'm heading from Tacoma to Seattle today, looking for the IG wave and wave 3 se,,,, any goods ideas where to look?

[machiwoomiapoo]

I'm heading from Tacoma to Seattle today, looking for the IG wave and wave 3 se,,,, any goods ideas where to look?

I'd go to Tacoma and Southcenter TRU. That's the only place I've found anything. I could only find Skydive (he's at the Lacey Target too), Low-Light, and Croc Master. Happy hunting!

[RogueReSCuE]

Southcenter toys r us has roc bravo vehicles on sale

[machiwoomiapoo]

WOW! I saw Crazy Legs, Rock Viper, and Croc Master at Wal-Mart around 12:30am Sunday morning! Does this mean Wal-Mart is finally selling JOE again! Sweet! I thought they stopped. Happy hunting! I left them all behind since I bought them all at BBTS.

Anyone interested in a set of discontinued IKEA BERTBY display cabinets? They're the best cabinets ever made for Joes!

Found the latest wave at Wal-Mart in Lacey! Wow! Wal-Mart is stocking them again. I had already ordered them from Big Bad Toy Store. I did buy the BATS there though.

Has anyone else started spotting the figures at Wal-Mart? If so, I think I'm going to stop using BBTS. They had 3 of each figure of the latest wave at the Lacey, Wal-mart on Memorial Day. I'd really like to order the Jungle Viper and Destro with all the weapons that I missed from the last wave though. HTS had the Jungle Viper for a little while, but with shipping it was the same price as most scalpers. I hope they come out in later waves. I'm really excited about the Skystriker and the Comi-Con Starscream-Skystriker w/Cobra Commander and Megatron Gun! That's super sweet! Happy hunting!
