Florida G.I. Joe Sightings

[sg3]

Anyone heard from Mami about her fiasco with the hotel dumping some of her con items? I felt so bad reading that but no one has posted any updates. I know she works hard to have the extra cash for that stuff and to have some inconsiderate prick chuck em pissed me off. Hope you're doing ok Mami.

[musashi3000gt]

Anyone seen any shockies any where? I need to buy two to trade with a buddy of mine for a candy-corn Alley viper.

[sirt8669]

Does it have a bunch of Takara in it? I thought that is all you owned anyway. :)

I own Japan and Takara comes with it!



how did takara end up in NC? See if they have a Night Raven cockpit there also please....maybe a takara one....from japan...

Ask firefag69, I am sure he knows how Takara ended up there! I thought I owned it all but I guess not. I will make sure to find a Takara stamped cockpit for you Takara Night Raven that was made in Japan! I will over night the part to you!

Talking to her now and the hotel has done nothing to help resolve the situation at this point. I will only mention that as I am not sure if she wants it brought up on here.

Dude if you get killed at the flea market in opa loca can I have your stuff?
Not that I would wish any harm on a fellow Miami tanker but its Opa Loca son! cops dont even go into that flea market. Its like "Escape from New York" up in there, your gonna need Kurt Russel and some hard core mercs if you wanna make it out in one piece.

LOL.....Don't worry man, I'm always strapped.

[sirt8669]

Can you go into a flea market strapped? I have a consealed but rarely hit the flea market here, kinda curious about that lol

[galactron22]

If anyone is still looking for these, there are a buttload of HISS, RAGEs, and Sand Serpents at the ROSS on Kendall Dr. and US 1 in Miami.

I hate their parking lot. Once i hit that during rush hour... once.

[galactron22]

Found 2 shock troopers at the TRU on Kendall Dr. And 117th ave, there's also a skydive, hid them both at the back of the second and third right side pegs on the JOE section.

[therealjondoe]

picked up low-light and destro from walgreens on 441 and broward blvd.
has anybody spotted marvel universe giant battles in broward or north dade?

[therealjondoe]

also saw the new green lantern movie sinestro 3.75".
smh they look like crap.
i was hoping i could blend them with marvel universe but they look small.

[heltskelt]

There're 6 AV's, 1 SE, & 1 Skydive in the Dadeland Target.

[galactron22]

Swung by the Kendall TRU today and the Shock troopers were gone, so who got them?

[WildWeaselZ06]

Not me. Got mine at target while on sale for $6.99

[musashi3000gt]

Swung by the Kendall TRU today and the Shock troopers were gone, so who got them?

Me bro, I tolds you I was looking for a set to trade.

[galactron22]

Good, I was hoping it was some one from here.

[musashi3000gt]

So smalljoes still hasnt shipped thier pre-orders for wave 5 and 6. At least my account shows not yet shipped.

anyone have thier stuff en-route yet?

Sirt8, we still down right? let me know when you get yours.

[firefox91]

Corey, the guy that runs Smalljoes, is a friend of mine. They likely haven't shipped because they haven't received the product from Hasbro yet. Or maybe they have but it was not delivered at the expected time. Unfortunately his operation is at the mercy of 2 external powers. The customer that wants to know exactly when they will get their stuff (On-demand world now) and Hasbro who historically has wishy-washy delivery schedules. He will come through for ya.

Oh I have nothing but faith in Smalljoes,I order all my stuff from them. I was just stating the fact that Musashi aint got no wave 5 and 6 and is anctious!

[sirt8669]

I cancelled my preorder, sorry for those that wanted stuff but I went and bought a huge collection over the past weekend and decided to let go of the modern stuff and stick with Arah.

I feel a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of Hisstankers suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced. LOL

Isn't that what these message boards are for? I have seen this a few times where a website that has established itself but then they create a facebook page and drag their own content out to it. I just don't get doing this. Despite facebook being incredibly popular, their page format sucks. I find most message boards to be far easier to use.

That, and I just try to avoid Facebook. Too many people I didnt like in the past trying to act as though we were best buds.

That's why they have the block feature lol I have maybe 3 people blocked on mine, long story there.

[firefox91]

That is just one of many reasons I never signed up. I know for a fact that an ex-girlfriend of mine would find me and want to "friend" me. She was a total online whore. (Kind of one in person too but...) Anyway, I can't stand the person and I seriously never want to to hear from her again.

[sirt8669]

I think I have about 12-15 ex's on my facebook lol they tried but I turned them down several times. Oh well, its all in good fun.

I couldn't help but add my two cents to this discussion. FB is evil. I too de-activated my account a couple of months ago. It got real messy with friends, co-workers, family, etc etc all mixed into one pot. Bad idea. There are "spheres" of your life that should remain separate and FB mixes them all together. Bad bad bad. A good friend told me a year ago when I told him I signed up "bad decision - that is a total radar tracking system for your exes and current partner..." How right he was.

I also concur with Firefox's comments and add that WOMEN are much more likely to exhibit "obsessive" behavior on it. Whereas the men either kept quiet or kept a non-serious tone.

[drunknmunky]

Facebook is just Myspace for adults who were too embarrassed to have a Myspace. I've never been into any of the social networking garbage. If I haven't seen you since high school there's a reason. It's because I don't like you and don't care to keep in contact.

lol I could not have said it better myself! That's classic

[galactron22]

Hey Sirt...Do you have like a room full of Hot Japanese women, of whom you take pictures of just to make all of us Otakus feel funny? And if you do can I borrow one for the weekend?

He might tell you that. Truth is he lives with 2 dudes and a bunch of car parts. LOL

[mdeneg5150]

Had these waiting on my doorstep today... I actually really like the Snake Eyes, the Iron Grenadier has a real Steam Punk flair to it's painted mask, the Rock Viper has the forearm and shin armor from the Tornado kick SS which I think looks out of place, Croc Master is a great Charachter but we don't need a repaint, Crazy Legs is decent, has an odd choice for a sub machine gun(grease gun style) along with a more advanced UMP style sub machine gun his card art cracks me up, looks like he just smelled a fart or something, the Viper might be the cleanest of them and is just plain classic, does that figure ever get old? Anybody else in FL got em?

[citizendan1st]

lolololololol....with a few bins of gi joe on the porch for that matter...(covered of course)

[WildWeaselZ06]

My wave 6 should be waiting for me when I get home from work at midnight. A full case plus two extra vipers.

[sirt8669]

lolololololol....with a few bins of gi joe on the porch for that matter...(covered of course)

Actually the bins are now in storage. Scott is right about my roommates and was quite jealous when he came over as he was quite attracted to my roommates son, he likes em young, you go Scott!

[Scotty97]

got my Wave 6 from BBTS today. Not as thrilled as I had hoped I would be. I put more thoughts in the "Wave 6 In Hand" thread.

Actually no. I have a thing for car parts. I did something to your turbo unit that might make the engine a little sluggish. Have fun de-greasing that!

[musashi3000gt]

"Turbo unit"? dude, who calls it a "turbo unit"?
Just "turbo" will do, Turbo unit sounds like a term a ricer would use.

Didnt know you was a car guy Sirt8! Im a huge gear-head bro, what kinda rides you mess with these days?

Scott has no idea what he's talking about so don't mind him lol he was trying to make some sort of a comeback.

I built a few Hondas but I currently have a MK3 Golf in the garage and a 1.8t possibly going in with an apr stage III upgrade but I am not sure yet as I am really tempted to put that apr on my daily Passat. I might end up getting another 240sx and build an SR for it. Its up in the air pending what I want to do in the near future.

I assume your running a Mitsu 3000gt from your name?

He actually fondled the inner workings of the turbo. He meant to say your turbo's unit.

[galactron22]

Found a couple of Shock Troopers, Skydives, and a Shadow Tracker, at the TRU in Hialeah, left them there for anyone that wants them.

[drunknmunky]

While we're on the subject of hot Japanese items, I'm selling a few carded Takara figures. Stalker, Cobra Officer and Torpedo. Would like to sell them to a local Tanker so I don't have to ship them. I'm lazy and gas is expensive as shit. So anyways shoot me a PM if interested.

No that was my childhood dream car growing up. The VR-4 was like the ultimate car to me, it had so many electronic goodies, AWD, active-aero, electronic suspension ect.... It was like the closest thing to piloting a Gundam. I finally got one and rocked it for a few years and then passed it on to a worthy teenager so he too could get laid a-pleanty.

I have an 06 Pontiac GTO now, I had the engine worked on by SLP over in NJ, they have something they call thier "Bobcat GTO" package. its also running a custom tune from a guy in Tampa who specializes on LS model engines. I have kids so I have to keep it steetable.

what do you want for the 3 of them?

[galactron22]

Ok Folks, I'm thinking of getting rid of my carded doubles, they're all mostly 25th, some POC and few ROC, and some vehicles. I'm thinking about it because all they're doing is taking up space. I haven't come to a final decision yet, but when I do I'll post a list of what I have here on this thread and let you FLA guys take a whack at it first, anything that is left I'll sell on E-bay.

I might be interested, depending on what you got of course.

Speaking of carded are we looking for wave 5 and 6 in retailers yet? I hear they actually been hitting around the east coast.
Ive only been to TRU and nothing but I havent touched a walmart or target in months.

Don't bother, they've been restocking with revision cases.

[WildWeaselZ06]

The newer GTO's are ok, I prefer the classics more. I am really debating about what my next car will be. I am torn between an R34 Skyline or MK4 Supra. I was gonna get a classic but I like a car that can handle and most classics can't.

Cute car but a naturally aspirated 2.0 from Toyota is good for what? A whopping mind blowing 160-170 bhp??? No thanks Toyota! Oh and its a boxer engine so even the most minute of tasks like changing an air filter takes 10 hours! no way.

I had to decide between an Evo and the GTO, the Evo is a monster tunner but they wanted like 38 grand for one, the GTO already makes 400 bhp and was 30 grand fully loaded. Plus its an Australian car! its like bonus man-points.

As for your dilema that is a tough choice. Toyota's greatest car ever or Japan's 4WD king-tunner! dude I'd hate to have to make that choice.

What would Snake-eyes choose? and dont say a bike!

[Snow cat]

I'll race anyone on here!! Heeheehee!! At the track of course!!

I miss my T/A. Miss my mustang too, for that matter. Contemplating a Challenger or the new Camaro convertible.

No sign of the latest figures, just tons of Dukes and SS.

[musashi3000gt]

Speaking of new toys, can someone with wave 5 and 6 figures post a UPC or two?

The sightings are getting more common, Im a romantic, I believe they will actually hit retailers in the next few weeks down here. At least with a UPC we can find out what retailer will carry it.

[Torgos-Pizza]

6 bucks! are they that cheep now? i liked the web gear on those.

Yup. I like the officer a lot, the troopers not so much.

I found a Shadow Tracker at Walgreens today.

[WildWeaselZ06]

I'll post some of the UPCs tonight after I get home for wave 6

[musashi3000gt]

This shit sucks! Looks like I wont be getting my joes from smalljoes.com till wave 5 comes out! I made the mistake of ordering an entire wave 6 and 1 general hawk from wave 5. For some up-side-down reason Hasbro released wave 6 first so they havent shipped my joes yet awaiting wave 5 release.

I wouldnt be bitchin about it but I spent an entire weekend remodeling my display area to make space for the new members. now its just gonna get dusty and grimey again by the time they show.

That's why I'm waiting so long to order, hopefully by the middle of this month, both waves will be on hand, and I'll get them both on one order.

9 Shock Troopers at WM in Kendall & 157th. I'm done getting those guys.

[WildWeaselZ06]

Does anybody know the number to this area's Wal-mart corporate office? Maybe then I can find out if there is a Wal-mart around me that carries Joes.

Ive been to several targets this week...from mount dora to kissimmee and nothing new..even tried a walmart to no avail....

[WildWeaselZ06]

Actually found the wave 2 rev cases at a Walmart today.

And it was a Walmart that had quit carrying joes in the past, maybe there is hope.

[X-factorz]

I just picked up W6 at TRU in NPR. There are two left of Crazy Legs, SE, the Viper, and 1 Rock Viper.

[galactron22]

[Scotty97]

where!?

New Port Richey I would assume.

[sirt8669]

Are these Cowboy Bob verified? If not, these are meaningless. :)

I am willing to bet that none of these findings have been Cowboy Bob verified as all he has been doing lately is repacking con exclusives and ebaying them.

[X-factorz]

Yeah, it was New Port Richey.

Sirt, first I want to thank you for every one of your sig. pics as they are almost if not the best part of coming to the Tank. Second, I remember seeing you say that you travel to Japan quite a bit I think. Do you speak Japanese or Chinese and if so did you use Rosetta Stone or any other software to learn by chance?

[sirt8669]

Check out my hot asians thread in the spam section if you like my sig pics lol

As for Rosetta Stone, its a complete waste. I downloaded it as I am not paying $400 ish for that crap. I actually have girls that help me learn the languages. I picked up a lot of my languages from movies, anime and music also. Don't waste the time on Rosetta Stone! There are other language programs that are much better.

[X-factorz]

Oh yeah, just in case there was really any doubt.

[sirt8669]

Anyone seen any of the variants yet?

[X-factorz]

Anyone seen any of the variants yet?

Not me but that's why I grabbed two of Croc Master in hopes of trading someone for the other version when it arrives.

As far as other software goes, do you have any you recommend. I tried messing around with some Mandarin today and holy crap that language is no joke! Where can I find one of these "language tutoring ladies" for myself? lol

[sirt8669]

Mandarin is what they call a CAT 5 language lol meaning it is one of the hardest languages to learn like Arabic. I am prior Army and I love how Rosetta Stone says they use it in the Military, complete bullshit. I will look up some good programs, forget the names.

[musashi3000gt]

Yeah, it was New Port Richey.


Gawd damn! that is a long way from Miami! so I guess we should be seeing them here by next weekend hopefully.

Jeezus help me beat Galactron to at lease a couple of them!

I am repacking them right now.

We usually get stuff last in this area...it's like the Bermuda Triangle of Joes. They either never show up at all or we get them after the entire country it seems. So I would be very surprised if they aren't everywhere in FL by the end of this week.

[galactron22]

He didn't even last as long as your last signature picture lol

Seriously Will? You created a new account just for that? Lame.

[drunknmunky]

Come on now. I would've made it months ago when it was still relevant. Plus I would've had way more fun with it lol.

[drunknmunky]

I just picked up W6 at TRU in NPR. There are two left of Crazy Legs, SE, the Viper, and 1 Rock Viper.

Did your TRU get any wave 4 figures in or did they just skip from 3 to 6?. I have yet to see wave 4 anywhere other than Walgreens so I'm hoping the other stores skip to wave 6

[sirt8669]

How the hell did I get dragged into this? You told me someone posted under Cowboy Bob. Plus you first mentioned him on here. So it was probably you. If it was me the profile would've been funnier and I would've posted way more than one time before getting banned.

[X-factorz]

I can't answer that definitively as I hardly go there. That store has sucked horribly since the 25th stuff came out and I don't bother checking very often. The last time I was there, there was no sign of w4 but that doesn't mean much. One of the guys working there came up to me and started asking me questions about Joes because he said his friend collects them and he usually picks them up for him but was wondering if "I new of any other place that got the Destro with the money case(w4)", so I assume they never made it there.

You getting your panties in a bunch over this Will? I first mentioned it cause whoever it was quoted my post lol then after I had seen that I sent you a text. I had assumed it was you or Scott.

[citizendan1st]

South 436 Walmart and Mount dora Walmart= Nothing.....

[musashi3000gt]

TRU in International mall didnt have anything new. Just a bunch of wave 3 tornado punch stormshadows.

[galactron22]

I was reading the Georgia thread, looks like they're statring to showup up there, i say by middle of next week we'll be seeing them here in S. Florida.

And go check out my latest custom: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-customs-finished-projects/113989-cobra-de-aco-steel-cobra.html and leave some comments Damn it!!!!!!! (kidding)

[sirt8669]

I have 3 customs I am working on after I return from the Philippines, can't wait to get started on them!

[X-factorz]

Wesley Chapel TRU also got w6 in. There were two Croc Masters and two SE left and for anyone that didn't get the SE from a few waves before they have three.

[drunknmunky]

I just picked up W6 at TRU in NPR. There are two left of Crazy Legs, SE, the Viper, and 1 Rock Viper.

Just grabbed a Crazy Legs from there. One more left. Nothing else new there. Plenty of Arctic Destros if anyone still needs one....

[citizendan1st]

grab it for me drunken!!!

[drunknmunky]

grab it for me drunken!!!

You're about 2 and a half hours late lol. I'm already in St Pete. Tyrone and Countryside TRU are both empty.

[drunknmunky]

As you can see I got my Dial Tone from the club today. Well my son actually got it...

[WildWeaselZ06]

Got both my DTs today. Actually, mine and the wife's. Lol.

[musashi3000gt]

hit up Kendal drive TRU, still nothing. And for some stupid reason TRU inventory cant distinguish between wave 1 and wave 6. I gave the chupacabra looking girl at the counter the UPC that ylwstang gave me and she's like "yeah we have 20 on the floor". They didnt! all they had was 20 jungle vipers!

Right! Im glad to see your hunting too bro. I'll contact you as soon as I spot them. Just like when wave 3 hit.

[drunknmunky]

Just grabbed a temple snake eyes from tru in countyside. They had nothing yesterday but had a single SE and nothing else new today. Very strange.

[Scotty97]

I've been hitting up tru everyday after work, and still no sign of wave 6 up here. Just want more Vipers

[Bilbo5000]

I've been hitting up tru everyday after work, and still no sign of wave 6 up here. Just want more Vipers

Yes...yes... More vipers!!!

A ROUND OF VIPERS for US ALL!!!!

[Jacklefttown]

As drunknmunky says, Pinellas County TRU/Targets/Wal-Marts are DEAD. I can't find anything but old ROC figs and that damn peg-warmin' Winter Destro.

I'm also looking out for the Captain America movie figures which are starting to appear around the country! I want me some Winter Soldier!

[firefox91]

As Will loves to remind me, I don't like anything cool. And because of that, it makes me happy not to be wasting any time running around to stores looking for figures. There was a level of excitement in that a long time ago. Then gas got expensive and got responsibilities. Now running around store to store is about the last thing in the world I want to be doing. When the Skystriker hits, I will be doing that running. Until then, I figure to be sitting back and relaxing for a while on the new toy hunting front.

WHAT HE SAID!!! I spent last week driving around Orlando working with our service guy. He was nice enough to stop at targets and Walmarts. I was everywhere from M.Dora to Kissimmee,to Oviedo
and i found nothing...so im done looking for awhile....

One of the perks of my job is I'm on the road quite a bit so I always get to hunt. However since Scott only likes crappy figures he will love the new Crazy Legs figure...

[citizendan1st]

ouch...why do you have to bring CL into this?hes not too crappy!!Im just glad to have a some what decent release of the character...

[musashi3000gt]

Thats were this site comes in to play. The Miami coalition has always saved my ass the pain of driving around town. As soon as we find what we need we post up or call each other and its done. No need to be running around aimlessly not finding Joes.
I got my phone on full charge. anything pops up by Dolphin or International Mall and Musashi will spark up a signal flare for the 305th Tanker brigade.

[musashi3000gt]

Hey man, don't forget about the 954th or the 561st brigades, lol.

Well I got a buddy in the 954th. Tom was the one who got me a Sandstorm with Ramcycle, I havent had the chance to re-pay the favor but an Arashikage ninja never forgets his friends.

Firefox got me the Claymore from JoeCon. I think hes 407th Brigade.

As for the 561st, well Im always looking to make more friends. and If I can get anything for the guys up there then hey just say the word.

[memphis01]

As my mother will be in the Ft.Louderdale/Oakland Park for the summer, could you please recomend some stores that still carrying Joes and 1:18 stuff like PTE etc? Thanks

[firefox91]

Nope, he is too new and nice for me. :) Really, I am done with the 25th style figures. With the recent re-org of my collection room, I pulled 99% of them out of the collection and likely will be selling them off sometime in the future once I get around to it. They just aren't my preference.

Firefox got me the Claymore from JoeCon. I think hes 407th Brigade.

Just a stab in the dark, but is anyone here attending SDCC?

Even if I had money flying out of my ass, I wouldn't go. There are way too many people there and way too many stories of people standing in line for hours only to come away empty handed. I will happily pay an ebay scalper for the items I want from that convention.

Speaking of scalpers, where are my farking Takara Torch and Flint figures!? :)

[mutt7000]

Don't lie, you're going.

As for those figures, my friend was waiting for more items that I had purchased to come in before he shipped to save on shipping. I emailed him yesterday about it but I have not heard back. He has my Rattler, Snake Eyes, the figs you want and I think I got some other stuff I forgot about lol

[citizendan1st]

Yeah man, look back a few pages. 6 is out but 5 hasn't made it yet.

Anybody have an extra Low Light for trade?

[This I Command!]

Anybody have an extra Low Light for trade?

No, but I've spotted him at a few different Walgreens stores, price is a little steep at $11.99 but I would keep an eye out for him there if I was you. Still cheaper than with shipping at HTS.

[firefox91]

Not even close. Just google pictures of the crowds at SDCC and then compare them to what you saw at JoeCon. Not even the same league. And I didn't go to Kansas City in 2009. Keep sailing that FAILboat.

I have actually checked all of them from Hudson to Clearwater and over to new Tampa but most of the stores were already hit. I have one already but I'm just looking for one to open. I actually caved and picked up an extra Shadow Tracker today just because I was tired of not finding what I was looking for.

You didn't go to KC cause it was new sculpts. You old men, set in your ways, refusing to get with the times. It's ok though. I won't talk smack to you cause to be honest, at your age, you wouldn't remember it tomorrow anyways.

[Torgos-Pizza]

[citizendan1st]

yeah ill take one of him and a few vipers as well...

[cerpintaxt]

I happen to have an extra Lowlight and Shadow Tracker.

Would you trade a Lowlight for a crazy legs and croc master? I'm caught up with all released POC so far except for Lowlight. I got a set from bbts so I have extra figures.

[musashi3000gt]

Just got back from another loop around the city. Nothing!
I hit TRU on Kendal and 117. They had 15 Wave 3 storm shadows.
Hit TRU in International Mall, they had 15 Wave 3 Dukes.
Hit Target on Bird and the Palmeto, they had Wave 2 Zartans and Arctic Destros. All the pegs there were full.
Hit Walmart on 87th, they didnt have anything, looks like that Walmart jumped on the anti-american band wagon. All they got is The Corps and Bakugan crap.

Thats all I gots to report. Anyone in the 305th brigade have any better luck?

[WildWeaselZ06]

561st found some shocktroopers, that's about it. Basically the wave 3 revision cases.

[Torgos-Pizza]

Hit the stores in town today. Dukes, Arctic Destros and a few Jungle Vipers. No IG for me. :(

[drunknmunky]

Picked up a Rock Viper and Croc Master today! Thanks to Jackel Left Town for the help.

[drunknmunky]

Stupid double post. But since I'm here I might as well say Rock Viper kicks major ass!

[WildWeaselZ06]

dude, i dont care what anyone says, i really like the rock-viper

[drunknmunky]

I love the figure. I always liked the original too. I don't have IG or Viper but of the 4 figures I do have from wave 6 he is by far the best.

Thanks for the update bro. I ordered a set too but Smalljoes hassnt shipped it pending the release of wave 5.

All I want is 1 more IG and 2 Rock vipers! Its not too much to ask for! Stupid TRU and thier lazy "wont order another case till everything on the floor is sold out" policy!

They only have like 3 pegs anyway and only like 6 figures left but NOOOOOOO! they wont re-stock till next month! goddam I hate them right now.

I stopped by there today and they had about 16 pegs with 3 or less figures on them it was really weird, there was nothing but W3 Dukes and Storm Shadows anyways. I might actually make it out walmart tomorrow, I kinda want a Viper and W3 Snake Eyes for customizing purposes.

I like him too, so long as he's not wearing that gigantic Shock Trooper helmet of his. : )

I went to 3 Targets, 2 Wal-marts and 2 K-Marts in Pinellas County. NOTHING AT ALL!

Marshall's at Park Place (Park Blvd & US 19) has 1 Snarler for $9.99 and a bunch of ROC figs for $3.99. I may pick up another Paris Pursuit Snake-Eyes, since I love the trench-coat.

Why can't i find any Captain America First Avenger toys yet?!?!?!

I'm just warning you guys now... I've been a SHIELD fan since the 1970's Godzilla comic and I have almost EVERY appearance of Nick Fury in the Marvel Universe. I even had a letter of mine printed in Nick Fury Agent of SHIELD Vol. 2 # 33 (I think) as a kid where I tell Marvel that my goal in life is to own EVERY appearance of Nick/SHIELD! LMMFAO!

Well, my OCD ways have continued past childhood, so I'm gonna be army building Hydra Troopers like crazy! (I have about 10 SHIELD agents from the marvel 3 packs and i made my own Fury. I'm not paying for that Exclusive Fury on eBay!


BY THE WAY: Are there any other Pinellas County Joe collectors out there? I know it's me, Thrall and Drunknmunky so far. Let's all get together and form a network down here, so we can all help each other out?! I am always envious of other areas that have a tight-knit unit!!

Marshall's at Park Place (Park Blvd & US 19) has 1 Snarler for $9.99 and a bunch of ROC figs for $3.99. I may pick up another Paris Pursuit Snake-Eyes, since I love the trench-coat.

Why can't i find any Captain America First Avenger toys yet?!?!?!

From what I read the release date for the Cap stuff is Monday so maybe better luck in a few days.

Some places are breaking street date. My local Target broke street date on both DOTM and Captain America. They only had two winter soldiers and the WW2 Cap.

Target on Kendall had Arctic Destros and Jungle Vipers too, didn't bother to check Walmart. But I'm set though, I ordered a set of Wave 6 and I'm trading off the ones I don't want for a Lowlight completing my hunt until Wave 5 comes around.



Walmart on Kendall & 157th has the usual shelfwarmers (Artic Destro, Duke, Storm Shadow) plus a Snake Eyes and maybe 5 Shock Troopers. Those are down from the nine i reported over a week ago.

[therealjondoe]

Target on pines has the new wave of marvel universe.
Tru on pines has the xmen set

[Tom-1]

I suppose it's not worth mentioning since you guys seem to have it covered, but...

Broward area = nothing.

Checked two Targets, two Wal Marts and a TRU this afternoon. If anything, the entire Transformers section was cleared out at one Target, so maybe there's a a chance some of the stuff that's been scarce lately (Wreckgar, Perceptor, or even Warpath and Thundercracker) will pop up now... but it's probably just movie garbage. ;___;

[Torgos-Pizza]

Not one new figure anywhere in Marion county. Lots of peg warmers though.

Oh, I forgot the $12 Shock Trooper at Walgreen's.
Sigh....

[galactron22]

Ain't holding my breath on seeing them any time soon.

[drunknmunky]

TRU in Tyrone has nothing. Ross next door has one Vamp.

Update- Countryside TRU and NPR TRU are empty. However NPR had a couple deluxe Captain America figures. I grabbed the heavy armor version. Left the parachute and the regular one.

[X-factorz]

Picked up a Shadow Tracker and Destro (money case) at Walgreens but still can't find a Low Light. If anybody has one to trade and could use something on my B/S/T/ list let me know.

[musashi3000gt]

so anyone know when the hell wave 5 is scheduled to be released?

[C.I.A.D.]

Haven't found anything in the Hillsborough/Pasco County areas...

At $4.00 a gallon, I bet there is. It starts with F, ends with K, and has a bunch of U's in between.

Musashi, there's a thread where the smalljoes guy said he received a small amount of wave 5 and shipped it out, but he's suppose to receive more either this week or the next. So stay calm, it's coming soon. I'm not placing my order until I know for sure that Wave 5 is shipping with a Green/Tan Blowtorch.

Yeah I read that shit! mine is still on hold. I figured not to wait on them anymore since he did mention that he wont ship anymore out till late next week.....which is the end of the month. So I wont see my stuff till June if that. Im just gonna buy my stuff at what retailers I find. Im a patient guy bro but 3 months is too damn long. Specially when everyone who went with BBTS already got thier wave 6.

[C.I.A.D.]

Hey Eric still have your twin gun.PM me your address again.

PM sent, Sir! Thank you, Gracias, Grazie!

Amen to that, FF. The ONLY things I found were a Fury in a jacked up box and a Ace/Glider in an even crappier box.

[WildWeaselZ06]

Found a VAMP and two Sand Serpents discounted to $10.99 each. Gonna custom one of them as python patrol, think it will look cool.

[Torgos-Pizza]

All I want is a Fuggin Iron Grenadier!THD(

[This I Command!]

I'm not placing my order until I know for sure that Wave 5 is shipping with a Green/Tan Blowtorch.

It's not. He's going to be added to a later revised case, the same with Python Croc Master.

[Jacklefttown]

NO JOES IN PINELLAS COUNTY! Except for 1 Rock Viper at Countryside TRU!

But, Target on MLK in St. Pete, Target at Park Place in St Pete, Wal-Mart on US 19 in Clearwater and Toys R Us at Countryside all have Captain America figures up and ready for sale.

Read my review later today!

[Jacklefttown]

In case you missed it elsewhere, here's part 1 of my Captain America figure reviews!

Mythical Microcosms: Captain America: The First Avenger Action Figure Review # 1 (http://mythicalmicrocosms.blogspot.com/2011/05/captain-america-first-avenger-action.html)

[David Mercury]

anyone in the pasco/pinellas county area have any luck finding any of the wave 5 or 6? im not at all.

[Vulcan Raven]

Okay it has been a while since I poped in, anyone finding anything good as of late? Or am I right to stick with MU?

[Tom-1]

I think it's going to be really exciting when they start selling GI Joes in stores again. : )

Tom

[WildWeaselZ06]

What GI Joe in stores other than Ross, what are you smoking?

[firefox91]

Jackpot! Target had a shit ton of new stuff! Lightning McQueen, Fin McMissile, Red the firetruck... oh wait. You guys were looking for Joes. Well, your fucked there. But my son is happy with his new Disney Cars. :)

[drunknmunky]

Picked up a pair of Vipers today at TRU. Meh. They aren't really that cool. I would much rather have Rock Vipers.

[musashi3000gt]

I found the new cap. America toys today at the TRU in pines. I grabbed a Strikefire APC to mod. The cap. toys look good as hell! lots of potential there. They got some bad ass looking jet packs and gliders and such.

still no wave 6 though.

[therealjondoe]

Any wave.2 captain America. Sighted?

[X-factorz]

Picked up a pair of Vipers today at TRU. Meh. They aren't really that cool. I would much rather have Rock Vipers.

Which TRU?

[drunknmunky]

Which TRU?

Countryside. All that was left was Crazylegs after I got the Vipers. He was on the pegs at about 7 last night. Might still be there today. Have yet to see anything at Tyrone.

[Tom-1]

What GI Joe in stores other than Ross, what are you smoking?

I've heard whisperes of a time long-passed when GI Joes could be found at retail, John... perhaps someday this long winter will end and give us new hope. ;___;

Tom

[Torgos-Pizza]

Bought an Iron Grenadier from www.toywiz.com (http://www.toywiz.com). I finally got all the Joes I wanted from the current line.:D

I have to drive 20 miles one way to town to hit Target, TRU and sometimes Ross only to find Dukes and Arctic Destro and moldy RoC crap filling the pegs. With gas hitting $4.00 a gallon, I just can't recon a couple times a week like I used to.
Looks like the site still has Iron Grenadiers on hand. I didn't look at what other figs they got though. I've bought from this site a number of times with no troubles.

I hope this helps somebody!

Hello all...
Been to a lot of stores these last two week, like most of you I've found nothing. I getting very tempted to order these wave 6 figures from BBT...I just don't want the crazylegs, temple snakeseyes or that damn croc master!!! Damn you Hasbro!!!

[citizendan1st]

ill take the crazy legs!him and a few vipers is all im asking...

[sirt8669]

Starting to list a bunch of my stuff on ebay. I will be adding items throughout the next few weeks before I leave for Taiwan so the money helps me fund my trip!

[galactron22]

I said before and I'll say it again....Ain't holding my breath on seeing them any time soon.

[therealjondoe]

Kmart on pines has the captain America 3 pack.
Any wave 2 sighted?

[Scotty97]

So far three sightings of Cap wave 2 at Wal-Marts. One in Orlando, One in Inverness, One in Zephyrhills. My friends and I each found one set. The Red Skull's head is a bit too small, but not bad. The Crossbones is a work of art.

[X-factorz]

I have 3 Rock Vipers, 4 Iron Grenadiers, and 2 Vipers for trade if anybody has a Low Light or 2 that they want to part with?

[Bilbo5000]

"ignore me!"

Sorry to disagree...

I saw the crossbones...It's far from a "work of art" It looks like something from Targets "Fearless forces"

You're right about the Red skull...His head is a litte small

The Walmart I saw them at got ONE set of the movie figures

[heltskelt]

Got 2 Vipers and one IG at the TRU on Kendall & 117th, thanks Mushashi!
On a side note, not that impressed with Crazy Legs.

[Scotty97]

To each their own, but I don't understand so many people being unhappy with Crazy Legs. I think he's the perfect ME update to an underrated character. But, oh well, more for me to pick up and customize and play around with.

[citizendan1st]

I so want crazy legs!!!

[Scotty97]

I still haven't seen any in the C.FL area, citizendan. I'm considerably more North than you, but my friends in O-Town haven't seen them either. I'm lucky I got mine from BBTS. I don't regret the few extra dollars for the set compared to the running around time, gas, etc...

[CharIJoe]

just stopping in to say hello :)

[citizendan1st]

just stopping in to say hello :)

Hey stranger...sorry i missed you at the con...next mutt meet isnt too far away though..

[heltskelt]

I can't really speak for the rest, but the hole in his chest bugs me. It makes it too obvious that it's the SE torso. I also dislike his bendy rifle. His gear obviously limits leg poseability. He would always be posed to freefall (Freefall, BTW was a better figure). I know they are things that i could fix by either filling the hole, giving him a better rifle, or taking off his gear. But, he's just not a priority for me. I might get him if i see him again, but right now, i don't regret leaving him on the shelf at all, not while i'm playing with the IG.

[WildWeaselZ06]

I've actually got an extra Cl if someone is interested. I like him and I love the new viper. Hopefully I'll find some vipers in the wild, but I'm not holding my breath

[Torgos-Pizza]

I was never into super-hero stuff so does anyone know anything about the set with the two mecha looking drones is?

[drunknmunky]

To each their own, but I don't understand so many people being unhappy with Crazy Legs. I think he's the perfect ME update to an underrated character. But, oh well, more for me to pick up and customize and play around with.

I hated the Snow Serpents because of those shitty legs. So of course I think Crazy Legs is terrible because of the legs. They have no articulation and they don't stay on the stand. I have no problem with the torso but really hate the legs so much that I can't like the figure. I honestly like Croc Master better. I know he's a repaint and people hate that but if you look past that, CM is awesome.
