where are you finding 25th?

[NotFastEnuff]

I was just wondering if anyone is finding these anywhere except WalMart and Target? I know I've seen boxsets at Kmart, but no carded. Anywhere else?

[C.I.A.D.]

Unfortunately, the one & only place I've seen'em was Target, and that was only 3 of 5.

I'm going to try a couple of "other" stores tomorrow (Meijers & Kroger) and see if I can find anything :D

[GrenadierStinny]

I found the first wave at my local Kay Bee Toy Works. Haven't seen the 2nd or 3rd waves there, yet, though...

[apacolypse]

[Shogi]

That's the stores I've found them in, and in that order

Hey guys, my first time posting but I've been around for a while and have dealt with C.I.A.D. and Apac, who are awesome. Anyway, my wife found 2 sets of Wave 3 at our small town Kroger today. I was shocked as I've been checking Walmart and Target constantly since the news broke and have come up with nothing. I bought both sets, one for my boys to open and play with and one MOC for me.

Been trying to do my part to get my son's friends into them. They range from 6 to 8; the perfect age. I bought a Joe 5 pack for a birthday present over the weekend and then the neighborhood kids were over playing with them for a few hours today. I threw in the cartoons to give the uninitiated some reference material. I'm hoping the Target exclusive vehicles come around Christmas time (think they're expected later, though), that would help keep everyone hooked.

I've seen them best at Wal-Mart, sometimes at Target and very rarely at TRU.

[Shin Densetsu]

I've seen them at target but they sell very quickly around here. At first they sold quick, but they have sold even faster as more stock has come in. These have been hard to find here since their release in summer. TRU rarely has these aside the boxsets, and even then its very few. Target sometimes gets all pegs full but they don't last very long. I've noticed walmarts stocking heavily this past friday, where I saw the entire wave 3 assortment on pegs. It seems that many of us 'tankers saw wave 3 for the first time on friday.

ditto minus ebay. been trying very hard not to give in... so far i'm doing okay! DaViper hooked me up, as well as several others from JBL. (adamantNEO, JT1138, AVAC) thank you all!
oh and the reason i cant get them in stores is...
japan doesnt sell joes.

snake.eyes, welcome to the tank!
that's awesome that you are recruiting new joes! :D
very cool of you to put the old cartoons on for them.

[gunslingercbr]

Hey everybody,

I've actually seen the single card versions at K-Mart,

DIBBS!
i hope you dont think i am going to back out on our deal at joe battlelines?

[Knifewerk]

target and walmart. i've seen wave 3 at walmart twice now but only saw wave 2 at target once.

[Monkeywrench]

It's been all Target for me. Wal-marts around me don't even carry them. 1 TRU near by but I don't hit that one up very often.

[slim19722]

No KB near me.

K-Mart, a few people have found'em there, but I haven't.

TRU Wave 1 singles, 1 time for initial release back in July and no singles since. 5 packs have been restocked quite a few times.

Target waves 1 & 2, plus all 3 5 packs, quite a few times.

WM, all 3 waves and all 3, 5-packs, a few times.

Where in Indiana? I stop in Evansville and Vincennes every once in a while.

[NotFastEnuff]

I got my boxsets from a friend, and my wave 1 singles at WM. Saw a SE and SS once since, and not a dag on thing since. I'm dying. Can't afford to ebay, and can't really afford to do BBTS, but I'm thinking about it anyway. Thanks for the input. Do you guys think these will hit any drug stores?

[DaViper]

I get all my joes at Walmart or HTS. Hardly can find the singles at target or any other chain.

[Tin_Trencher]

Single packs wave 1 at TRU.
Cobra Legions found 1 at Walmart and 1 at Target.
Found 1 single SS pack wave 1 at Target.
Got 1 Joe and 1 Cobra 5 packs at etoys.
Got wave 1 single packs CC, SE, SS at HasbroToyShop.

[Lt. Faceless]

Last Sunday bought complete wave 3 plus Lady J.

Seller bought all his stuff at Wal-Mart on Laredo TX

[taz98spin]

Where in Indiana? I stop in Evansville and Vincennes every once in a while.

I went to a K-mart in Greenfield and they
had the box sets + Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow.

[DarthBrett]

I saw the box sets at a Wal*Mart today for the first time. Previously I had only seen them at Targets.

[C.I.A.D.]

When I initially found my items, I found:

Wave 1 & 3, all 3 5 packs at Target.

Wave 2 at Wal*Mart.


You know, I know of a Scalper in this area. That being said, he's the only one that I know of. Although he would snag everything in sight (he beat me to the ole Shadow Crimson Guards and royally pissed me off :D). However, even though he snagged everything he could, there was always something left...somewhere.

Now, I've traveled to 4 major metro areas in this state and have come up with almost nothing. I had to drive all over God's creation just to find enough Cobra Legions sets to supplement the needs of my friends. They're lucky I love'em ;) It worked out well though, as I have a set for myself too :D

I'm really hoping that retail sees the demand for this product and orders waves 4 & 5 in mass quantities. Sure, most of us have all of the wave 4 offerings, but if I could find'em in retail, I'd definitely buy them.

Although I love BBTS, I'd much rather find my figures on pegs than have to buy them online.

[Sy-Rein]

I've gotten all my 25th Joes on eBay, save for a few that I was able to get off a member here. Living in Canada, online (at the moment) is really the only option.

I did try to get some through some online stores but they were taking forever and then I found them on eBay (some for less than the online stores, some for just slightly more) but at least I get them right away (or at least fairly quickly and not stuck in pre-order limbo)

I guess I could go down to Bellingham, WA but I havent heard of any sightings around there so I'm hesitant to waste the gas and time to drive an hour to find nothing.

[Blackdragon]

Most of mine are off of ebay. I was lucky to find most of wave 1 at kmart a while ago.

[eddie003]

found wave 1 at toysrus,found wave 2 at target,seen only wave 1 one time at walmart.wave 3 no luck broke down and ordered it thru ebay :(.

what i really need to know is where this stuff comes from?are gi joes made in china?if so then they must come from a boat,from the pacific.where do they offload los angeles?and from there where do they go are they sent to hasbro headquarters?or are they sent by planes trains and trucks all over the usa??
