New York G.I. Joe Sightings

[RedEyes]

Douglaston TRU has a Best of 80's DVD set for anyone that might be looking for it.

[gijoeben1]

Is there simply nothing out there? I know I haven't seen anything new in quite a while. Still looking for Blue Resolute Troopers and I actually think I need a couple more Resolute Dukes. Think I cleared out all the Price Choppers. Anyone finding these around still or are things completely dry?

Also need Cobra Para-Divers...just for the goggles though :( Anybody see any out there?

[dmizrok]

Saw a paraviper with the goggles taken out the package at Walmart wash ave a while back...have seen Resolute troops at PC glenmont...

[gijoeben1]

Who is that guy? I mean, its still only $8 for a GIJOE! I've picked up 3 paradivers for just the goggles. Ended up selling them on ebay or at shows just fine without them. GAAAHHH!

Anywho, speaking of shows, CT GIJOE SHOW is June 7th. Should be a good time. Any of you guys going?

There is one Resolute Trooper at FYE in Rotterdam Mall.

[gijoeben1]

I drive right past Rotterdam mall on my way to work...may have to swing by and grab it! Thanks for the tip!

Gijoeben1, if you haven't stopped by that FYE yet, don't because that trooper is already gone as of yesterday.

TRU on Wolf Rd. has 1 Cobra Diver, troopers and PP CG's and has re-raised their prices to $7.99 again. Nothing of mention at Target in Colonie.

[gijoeben1]

Gah! Missed it. Oh well, I'm sure I can snag some up at the CT Show. Besides I should really be saving for JoeCon. If I can just stop buying toys from that guy in China on ebay....

[dmizrok]

have you guys seen the Hand ninjas from the Marvel line? they look like theyd blend in w/the red nin jas as a leader...

[gijoeben1]

Saw them and though gee....Red Ninjas...Could never get into the GIJOE ninja thing though...SE & SS are cool, but thats about where my Ninja interest in the Joe line stops...kinda like my wrestling interest in GIJOE stops with Slaughter...Still wish I had snagged up some Pipers at the JoeCon though. Made no attempt to buy any...fool...I am such a fool...

[gijoeben1]

CT GIJOE SHOW is next weekend!

February 24, 2008* Connecticut GI Joe Show (http://www.kozinsmotorpool.com/ctjoeshow/jun09show.htm)

[gijoeben1]

my Joe collecting buddy is collecting this line for his son when he is a little older, he said the latest wave has had some nasty paint issues...too bad cuz the sculpts look pretty good. Still haven't picked one up yet, saving for JoeCon:)

[gijoeben1]

Ok, Nisky Target has some clearance goodies...Colonie is still original price as is Halfmoon Target...I am hoping to score some more Resolute 5 packs...need the Cobra Commanders for the silver face mask part of his head.

[CG23]

The Latham Target has about 5 Resolute 5 packs as of yesterday, but nothing is on clearance there yet.

[Beach Head curses]

Niskayuna Target had Joes on clearance. Single pack Dukes and CCs, various comic packs, tiger force and PP planes. Also, a bunch on mighty muggs in the sporting goods section. No resolute sets though, I don't think.

WNY found RISE OF COBRA combat heroes at Lancaster/Depew Target on Sunday...they had two sets $6.99 each dont know if anyone collects these but thought this info might be useful

[Beach Head curses]

Has anyone checked the local Marshall's for DVD packs? Or is that just an urban myth?

[dmizrok]

none in Glenmont...my bud said he checked all over the albany/colonie/latham area and hasnt seen them...

[CG23]

Has anyone checked the local Marshall's for DVD packs? Or is that just an urban myth?

Niskayuna one doesn't have any.

[CG23]

Niskayuna one doesn't have any.

Niether does the TJ Maxx in Rotterdam Mall (only sets 1 and 2 there).

[gijoeben1]

yeah, I hit the TJMaxx @ rotterdam mall...would be nice if they would even get sets 3 & 4 at somepoint. Can always use more BATs right? Movie toys soon...at least we're getting some repaints!

[boff123]

Has anyone checked the local Marshall's for DVD packs? Or is that just an urban myth?

[RaygeOn]

Does anyone plan on hitting TRU on Saturday morning for the ROC release in the Albany area?

[gijoeben1]

Wolf Rd TRU? Sounds cool, are they going to be putting them out there on saturday? Might have to make the trip. Are they even open on the 4th?

[gijoeben1]

We should see how many folks we can get together for a meet-up there...maybe do a small swap meet? Got a bunch of stuff I'm just too busy to put on ebay to get rid of as of late...maybe if we can get more info we can coordinate something late morning?

[dmizrok]

going to be there (hopefully) on the 4th...hitting there, Target, Kmart and Wash ave walmart probably with a buddy of mine...not a bad idea...^^^ what you got to get rid of , ben?

[CG23]

I have to work on the 4th so count me out guys. Dom, I will be checking the KMart in Rotterdam Mall today for you. I'll let you know how I make out.

[gijoeben1]

just odds and ends of fodder, a few Resolute 5pack troopers, some CG officers, some DVD figures and other nonsense-loose parts, also got some goodies from China of the movie and un-produced Resolute variety:) ...some SW fodder...not as much as a while back but was thinking about tossing it in the truck to bring along...what time-ish are you cats thinking about hitting the TRU area? 1-1:30-ish?

[storymodeller]

Yesterday KMart Astor Place NYC had the Roadblock/LJ/Destro/Mass Device pack for $24 in their clearance area.

Local guys, we doing a meet-up at TRU on saturday? If so what time are you cats looking at?

[Sorrel_Park]

Target in Brooklyn had the ROC 12" ninja asst (Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow) about 2 each, as well as the ROC Combat Heroes (about 2 full sets).

I was looking for early release of single-carded figs, but no luck.

[CG23]

Latham Target is all geared up for ROC toys. They have about 16 pegs for single figs, with tags that say $7.99 Rev (or assortment I assume) "A" and "B". Also shelf space labeled for Alpha, Bravo and Echo Class vehicles. And the whole area was labeled with a big "we're creating something new for you here" sign. No sign of space for the exclusive fig/vehicle packs yet though.

[dmizrok]

everything is open at regular hours tommorrow,
TRUS-9
Target-8
Walmart-7
Kmart-8

bringing a friend along thats not on the tank yet...he wants to hittem early, hopefully I dont wake up early for nothing lol

[Bionic Commando]

Target Middletown-I cleaned out the rest of the 50%off jets at $12 and snagged about 6 Cobra Flints for 50% off $3.They also had alot of Rise of Cobra Figures and Vehicles I left the vehicles which were $14.99 and $24.99 overpriced but picked up some Neo Vipers and others
Target Palisades Mall has a bunch of R.O.C. Night Ravens for $39.99
http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x121/sonny_toys/DSC02408.jpg

[gijoeben1]

just got home so if I show its gunna be around 2-3pm-ish...keep us posted if you folks see anything early

[dmizrok]

TRUS is the only place with ROC figs...and they had ALOT of stuff...(no small vehicles, only Night Raven 29.99)
picked up DEstro, Baroness and S.S. they had one other Destro but my buddy bought it...Firefly, Zartan,Shipwreck, Heavy Duty,Acc.suit Ripcord,BarB Que, Breaker- all multiples....kiddy toys toy...no Duke though which was weird...no other place is ready for toys except Latham Target, as CG pointed out (they said they didnt getem in yet)...have a feeling that they will drop at other stores by next week...Kmart colonie has wave 2 combat heros 9 Serpentor, Baroness S.S. ones) left them as Im waiting on S.S. from CG...Baroness is cool though, might go back this week

went to Walmart, Target, Kmart, colonie and Target and Walmart Latham...we hit TRUS LAST so save gas and go to TRUS first...lol

[dmizrok]

...weapons for the mist part SUCK especially the spring loaded crap...oh, and read that Destro filecard...something about his burnt face and nanomites repairing it but turning his skin to metal(?) what is this, Doc Doom? lol

[RaygeOn]

I grabbed the only Duke they had Dom...The figures seem a little less rigid, like a lesser durometer of plastic was used. I'm kind of dissapointed with the stuff. My son got the Night Raven (pretty cool) Ripcord, SS, SE, and Shipwreck. I hit the other stores as well and nothing yet. TRU Clifton park has the moblie command tank. Ask the manager for the stuff because they are not putting it out until the 10th. Target Latham is scheduled for monday...the trucks didn't get in because of the hoilday.

[dmizrok]

wasnt really concerned bout Duke...i like the Destro, just cause his body is a cool sculptif you get Baroness (whos cooler in hand then the pix have shown) watch out for the glasses...while they stay on good, they are EASILY lost, as I dropped mine 2x and was lucky to find them...Im guessing that the vehicles are being held till the 10th also...its funny, Kmart has Joes items in the gift wrap section, but no figs in the toy section...

[gijoeben1]

wow...need more sleep still. Getting ready to hit the door. Hopefully will find some goodness out there...just need to find some coffee first. anyone is gunna be around my cell is 231-0163

Happy hunting!

[storymodeller]

No ROC in NYC: Astor Kmart two days ago, Penn Kmart today, Atlantic Target yesterday, Times Sq TrU today: nothing from ROC.

But did find some 25th/ME, mostly full price :
Kmart Penn has a large slection of full price vehicles: Firebats, Sharcs, Vamps, others.
Target's pegwarmers are discounted: $10 for their only 2-pack, $6 for one of their two (!) singles.
TrU had pegwarmers, plus a few other 25th/ME figs & comicpacks, many multipacks, and a few vehicles. None new, none discounted. (Though I did see a DVD pack marked clearance, it blatantly had a figure missing!)

I was hoping for some other figs or bigger discounts, but no luck.

[Sorrel_Park]

ROC in Brooklyn this morning.

Collection 1 Wave 1 at Brooklyn Junction (2 cases) and Collection 2 Wave 1 at Atlantic Terminal (1 of each fig -- 8 figs). They definitely have cases in the stockroom too, so don't forget to ask and provide the DCP #! (You can pick it up off the Target.com website).

I picked up the Viper Commando, Duke, Destro and Neo-Viper. I'll add pics later....

[Bionic Commando]

The Middletown TRU has completed their ROC reset.Plenty of figures but the army builder figures and Baroness' got picked up already.The Hummer Steel Crusher is a great toy I highly recommend wish it was cheaper though

[CrimsonGuardVet76]

Target on 225th in the Bronx had C1 wave one and C1 wave two remnants, but at least four alpha vehicle cases and a couple of the Bravo cases. Target in Mount Vernon had a set of C1 wave one on the racks. TRUs in the Bronx had nothing.

[Sorrel_Park]

Here are the pics of what I picked up in Brooklyn, plus the receipts.

[dmizrok]

^^^Destros cool isnt he?^^^ I opened the 3 figs I got today (him, Baroness and S.S.) didnt see a Duke for once (which made me laugh)

[Sorrel_Park]

This version of Destro is amazing. I didn't think I would like the RoC figs, but the more I see of them, the more I like. Is the Baroness worth getting? I'm not too crazy about her proportions (big head scrawny body)

[dmizrok]

I dont think its too bad...the only thing is is that her glasses are EASILY lost if you arent careful...they stay on but if you dropem good luck lol...(took awhile but i found mine) and was wondering how theyd look on that upcoming sun glasses less Monkeywrench...
oh and those GIANT guns are terrible especially Destros and S.S.

[Sorrel_Park]

I always wonder if kids really dig those humongous spring-loaded guns. I know most adult collectors, like myself, don't.

[gijoeben1]

Only spring loaded toy I ever cared for was the rocket launcher from the Resolute 5pack, that thing was actually cool. Pretty good haul today. Got the Gunship, Mole Pod, 2 Snake Eyes, 1 Baroness, 1 Destro, 1 of each of the Vipers, Firefly, then met up with my buddy Greg and hooked him up with a Baroness and Firefly he was looking for then went and had some beer and saw Transformers. It was a good day:) Tomorrow (sunday) will be a day of putting stuff on ebay to offset my guilt for buying these toys. Sigh...

I see a quick fix to the whole belt problem w/ Snake Eyes. Cut the bottom part of the piece that goes over his shoulder where it connects to his belt. Otherwise while your handling him it moves all over and is a pain.

Now if there was only a quick fix to the front of that Mole Pod I'd be all set. Though I do like it and can see myself buying more.

[RaygeOn]

Target Colonie put out their selection of ROC vehicles and figures. Deep Six, Cover Girl, and Sgt. Stone were included. (I did not see these yesterday) Multiples of each figure, and lots of vehicles...no target exclusives...Darthdon, get over there!

[dmizrok]

funny, they said they did didnt get them in yet as of yesterday...a 4th of July truck seems unlikey...

[CG23]

Sounds like you guys didn't do too badly yesterday. Heading out shortly to see what I can find.

[dmizrok]

Prob gonna stop at Target and trus again tomorrow around 10am between jobs, so let me know whats there CG...

[gijoeben1]

Any word on Walmart getting their crap together? The few I stopped at yesterday had nothin'...craptastic chain that place is getting to be...used to at least be able to count on some of them to be fairly cool...

[CG23]

Tonight I spotted:
-Target Colonie: Quite a few different figs, all 4 alpha vehicles, Pit, Cobra Gunship, Ice Dagger, Night Raven
-TRU Colonie: only a few figs, still several exclusive Firefly and BBQ, Night Ravens
-Target Latham: Some figs only
-Target Clifton Park: At least 4 Cobra Commanders left, Unmasked Storm Shadow, Snake Eyes w/coat, different Scarlett and I picked up the one Ice Viper left. Also, there should be one Steel Crusher left and some Night Ravens, Gunships
-TRU CP: Nothing out yet.
Didn't see any Elite Vipers but want to see this guy in person. I think he is adverstised on the back of Deep Six.


The Ice Viper has a clear visor with a red line down the center.

[CG23]

Picked up the following: Shipwreck, Destro, Neo Viper, Snake Eyes (Paris Pursuit), Ice Viper, Cobra Commander, TRU Firefly, TRU BBQ, Snake Trax ATV, Steel Crusher and a Gunship.

[eno razzi]

over the weekend the Target in Westbury has the Movie Joes

[CG23]

Nothing out yet at the East Greenbush, Niskayuna or Amsterdam Targets.

[RaygeOn]

Still one Ice Viper left at Latham Target...several Cobra Commanders, and plenty of the others. I still have not seen the Elite Viper (CG), and have been fortunate enough to catch the stores just putting out their merchandise.

[RedEyes]

Carle Place TRU has a endcap filled with ROC singles and small vehicles. Picked up a SE, SS, Shipwreck, Baroness and Destro. I think I'm gonna try and hold out to see if TRU or any of the other stores do a sale for these. Cause there's def a bunch more that I'd like to get.

[xcobrasoldierx]

times sq had nothing yesterday just alot of the older stuff but close to 10.00 for a figure lol

[JackStatic]

I gotta be perfectly honest here, I'm not diggin these figures, I saw the end cap at tru carle place. I bought a storm shadow because he looked sweet but didnt really dig the others a whole lot. Im still lookin foward to the movie. The vehicles on the other hand.... i'll be pickin up a lot of those.

Yeah, I hear ya. Some of them sure are fugly. I'm gonna be very selective on what I buy from this line. I really want the TRU Firefly. Have you seen that anywhere yet?

[X-factorz]

Did anyone here grow up in Glenham?

[storymodeller]

Target Atlantic Terminal : July 6: three things: movie toys, old action fig, and Conquests.

1) movie figs clearly labeled 6.99 but price scanner at 7.99. I do not know how that was resolved. This large and prominent movie toy display (lots of pegs, alpha & bravo vehicles) was at the front of different toy aisle.

2) Target exclusive CONQUESTS were $17.48 each! These were hidden on an inside end of aisle "Clearance" display, at game aisle.

3) Neither of these were in Action fig aisle, (which has only 25th dreadnok at $6).

Hope that helps someone.
:)

Nope, TRU Carle Place had a very small selection,and i didnt see the paris pursuit snake eyes anywhere. I will be checkin tru often tho and hopefully they put out more stuff

also havent seen the pit or the steel crushjer apv

also... is it just me or is the blue camo gear just not doin it? i know im not feelin it at all

[gijoeben1]

wow, what is walmarts deal? Target and TRU are putting this stuff out it seems, but I haven't heard one report that Walmart has stepped up. Have they just gotten so big they simply can't move? I used to depend on walmart as its the only chain thats open when I get out of work...as of late I have no use for them.

Yeah, I was looking for him too. I'm sure they we be everywhere soon enough though. Especially when TRU starts doing their sales.

I think the blue camo is ok, but would've been better in green. I think I might repaint some of these to fit in with my 25th display. I haven't seen the PIT either, saw the Steel Crusher though over at Valley Stream Target, along with the Night Raven and Cobra Gunship. Valley Stream TRU didn't have anything from ROC.

[dmizrok]

was pretty dissappointed about Walmart too..can you say, Losing Sales?

[CG23]

was pretty dissappointed about Walmart too..can you say, Losing Sales?

Most definitely. Latham WM does have the Combat Heroes and the big kids style SE and SS.

[CG23]

Still nothing at the Nisky Target yet.

[RedEyes]

Westbury Target has a good amount of Paris Pursuit Snake-Eyes, CC and a few Ice Vipers for anyone looking. As well as plenty of others.

Douglaston TRU has the exclusive BBQ and Firefly. Didn't have enough cash on me, so I'm going back in a bit to get that Firefly. He looks sweet!!!

[xcobrasoldierx]

shipwreck, breaker, ripcord both and heavy duty version 2 is all thats left plus a few vehicles 2 gunships and something else i didnt take a good look at

[CG23]

East Greenbush Target put their stuff out today. Picked up 3 Ice Vipers and a 'Desert Ambush' Scarlet.

[Sorrel_Park]

Target at Atlantic Terminal already has several pegwarmers: Breaker, Zartan, Ripcord, Heavy Duty (reactive armor). Also a number of Snake Eyes, Destro and Neo-Viper still on the pegs.

They also had both Ninja 12" and Character 12" (all 4)

[btmarine]

Toys R Us in Clifton Park put out a few more Firefly's this morning, I picked up one. Left about 5 hanging there.

[RaygeOn]

Nisky Target hit the shelves with product...Grabbed 2 Ice Vipers and a Desert Assault Scarlett...Left 1 Ice Viper there. Plenty of others available. CG23 and Dmizrok, are we still doing the case of 7 packs?

[dmizrok]

Im in...you guy let me know the details...

[xhairs]

Tru in hamburg had a bunch of roc stuff. Target in Orchard park had a ton of stuff also.

[HudsonValleyHunter]

I picked up Shipwreck , Snake eyes Paris Pusuit , Deep six .

And I picked up the Steel Crusher. I will probably be looking for more.

I picked everything up from the target in Poughkeepsie.

And I got my pre order in for the 7 packs!

[storymodeller]

Surprised TrU Times Square still had nothing. Kmart downtown didn't either.

[dmizrok]

just got P.P. Snake Eyes, C.C. and Shipwreck from E G Target...6.99! a buck cheaper then Colonie! Snake Eyes is BADASS...

[CG23]

just got P.P. Snake Eyes, C.C. and Shipwreck from E G Target...6.99! a buck cheaper then Colonie! Snake Eyes is BADASS...

Nice! I will have to check my receipt to see what they charged me lol. Dmizrok and Raygeon, the 7 packs are ordered and PMs were just sent to you guys. Let me know whats up.

[CG23]

WM on Washington Ave has a TON of figures. Lots of Destros, CCs, and the rest of those first 2 Waves. Left 2 Ice Vipers there. Also, picked up the 1 Elite Viper and Joe PIT Commando that they had there. Don't know if the others from that wave were there and someone beat me to them or what. TRU Wolf Rd. was stocking the shelves this morning, but only put out a case of Wave 1. More Exclusives there. Same with TRU in CP. WM in CP has everyting but 3 3/4 figs and vehicles. Target in CP has a lots of figs too. Left 3 Ice Vipers there. Nisky and Latham Targets were sparringly stocked.

Also, most of the Targets have or are changing to the "new lower price" of $6.99!

[RaygeOn]

Nice grab CG23...I ran out with my son after reading your post, only to find GI JoeBen1 picking through the figures. A friend of his found Helix and the Crimson Viper in the morning... Funny, because I had talked to the manager last week, and she was adamant about not putting the figures out until the 10th. Ben, good to see you, we'll talk soon!

[Tiestick2003]

Jersey City Target has Python Patrol Conquest X-30 for $6.24 only two on the shelves. Figures are $1.74 but little to none on the pegs. They also have plenty of ROC figures SE, PP SE, SS, PP SS CC, Deep Six

[CG23]

The PIT Commando is pretty cool! He comes with a crap load of accessories.

[gijoeben1]

Ray, was cool seeing you today and meeting the lil guy. Hope he enjoys the Cobra Hummer! It does look cool!

Did a little work tonight on my artic Resolute Firefly, also some of my other Resolute goodies I've been getting on ebay :)

Saw the Helix my buddy picked up, she is cool, definetly on the need list.

Palisades,Middletown,Kingston,Newburgh,Pk Targets all had the same 75% off.It was a great haul for jets and 5-packs for $6,Cobra Flints for a buck and change

Target in CP has 1 Resloute one left as of earlier today. I picked up a Blue Rattler for $6.24 there. Thats all I can remember right now. I'll keep a look out in the days ahead.

I'll keep my eye out as well...I hit just about evey Wally World today, and nothing! Target Saratoga I grabbed a bunch of Mighty Muggs for $2.74

[Sorrel_Park]

TRU Times Square finally put up the RoC display, but not where the 25th Joes are; they are on the floor in front of the register line on the 2nd floor.

They just had C1 W1 and C2 W1 plus the exclusive BBQ and Firefly. I was about to get the two exclusives, but they were $9.64 each! What a rip off!

They had a few Steel Crushers, a few Night Ravens, 1 Pit, and a number of Alpha class vehicles. I forgot to see if they had Gunships and what color helmet Firefly had.

They also had Combat heroes, accelerator suit Duke and the ninja 12" and character 12" figs.

[gijoeben1]

Hit the Scotia/Glennville Walmart, stuff is set but nothing new, same old, Destro and such.

[dmizrok]

Thankx guys! picked up desert Duke and Zartan...Zartan is ...not Zartan but an MP...and Desert Duke is a cool sculpt...but again NOT Duke...a nameless desert trooper imo... My Duke had a different stand then all the other figs Ive picked up...metallic looking...anyone else see this?

[Sorrel_Park]

My Duje had a different stand then all the other figs Ive picked up...metallic looking...anyone else see this?

I think Duke is the only one to come with this unique tag. Not sure why because it would have been cool for all the Joes to have.


**UPDATE**

On second thought, maybe not so cool. Duke's tag only has one peg and (at least on mine) doesn't hold Duke well at all. Looks cool though!

[dmizrok]

Someone in another thread just said that it is because at this point of the movie, Duke isnt in GIJOE yet...hes just reg military...

[CG23]

Hit the Scotia/Glennville Walmart, stuff is set but nothing new, same old, Destro and such.

I was there this morning and they didn't have any figures out yet. Did they finally put them out?

[RedEyes]

Went to Westbury and East Meadow Walmart today. And neither store had anything out. Just Combat Heroes and 12" figures. Way to be on the ball Walmart! I don't really care though, TRU and Target have better sales anyway.

[btmarine]

Nothing at Latham or Clifton Park Wal Mart as of 930PM Friday night.

[Bionic Commando]

Agent Helix assortment is definitely in our area.Got out of work late tonight I couldn't resist and checked a Target in CT. right before it closed and I found 1 of each: Agent Helix,Flash,General Hawk,Elite Viper,Eel,Crimson Neo Viper and some Ice Vipers but somone got the Pit Commando and The Doctor.I would love a squad of Pit Commandos.I'm trying real hard not spend anymore because of the upcoming Cobra Island 7 packs I pre-ordered but these things keep drawing me in *sigh*
http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x121/sonny_toys/DSC02441.jpg

[btmarine]

Yeah Ive gotten Pit Commandos at Target but ended up ordering the Doctor. I just got the latest waves and they are all pretty good, especially para viper IMO. Good stuff.

What Targets did you find the lastest waves in?

[storymodeller]

Just got back from Toys r Us Times Sq: they do have some ROC figures, but they are shelved far away from the others, closer to the cashiers. The price is different, too (25th figs are $1.50 more). The TrU ROC were mostly Barbecue, Breaker, Duke, Destro, Zartan, and the regular new turtle headed troopers. Decent number of ROC vehicles too.

Still had a bunch of 25th/ME stuff....

Times Square TRU is a tourist trap. There are two in Brooklyn that practically sell the same stuff for cheaper...

[gijoeben1]

Daddy wants a Helix and Crimson Viper:)

[gijoeben1]

So I took advantage of the TRU deals and snagged the APV Hummer. Its actually rather cool.

[CG23]

WM in Glenville put out about 10-12 cases of figures today. None of the cases were the Helix one.

[Sorrel_Park]

Target in Atlantic Terminal, Brooklyn has a ton of Collections 1 & 2 Wave 1 on the pegs, they had one each of red and black helmet Firefly/Gunships, ton of Alpha Class and Night Ravens, 12" figs.

In short: nothing new!

I find this worrying. If no one's buying the first waves, we might witness another Indiana Jones effect. Hopefully the movie will drum up more interest.....

[btmarine]

What Targets did you find the lastest waves in?

Ive been finding them at Target in Clifton Park and the one in Colonie. I picked up 4 Pit Commandos so far, but have never seen a doctor.

[btmarine]

Yeah for $20 I think its pretty sweet.

[CG23]

Ive been finding them at Target in Clifton Park and the one in Colonie. I picked up 4 Pit Commandos so far, but have never seen a doctor.

Maybe the employees are getting to them first. I have seen an employee of the CP Target looking through the Joes before. Only place I've seen (and gotten) the Pit Commando and Elite Viper were at the Washington Ave WM.

[CG23]

Also, the Dr doesn't come in the same assortment at the Pit Commando.

Collection 1 Wave 3:
-The Dr., PP Baroness, Para-Viper, Ripcord, Duke Delta-6 Suit, Artic SE, and Artic SS

Collection 2 Wave 3:
-Pit Commando, Helix, Gen. Hawk, Elite Viper, EEL, Red Neo Viper and Flash

[btmarine]

Ok that explains it, I havent seen Collection 1 Wave 3 yet. I also got the Helix wave at Wilton Target. I do have an extra Helix, Pit Commando and Hawk if you need it.

[RedEyes]

Any of you Queens/Long Island guys find the Helix, Hawk, etc. wave anywhere yet?

[gijoeben1]

sad thing is, is as we are all hunting like crazy for some of this stuff...we are not going to have a problem finding any of it once it hits. I mean, movie toys are usually are something of a flood.

[CG23]

Picked up a Gen. Hawk and an Elite Viper at the CP Target. They also still have about 6 Ice Vipers there too. Also picked up a Flash at the Wilton Target. Same assortments everywhere else for the most part. KMart in CP has 2 cases of figs but at $8.99 a piece I think. Nothing of mention at Target in Niskayuna, Latham or Queensbury; WM in Glenville. Still nothing at the WMs in Rotterdam, Latham, CP, Queensbury and Wilton.

[btmarine]

Im just kinda waiting on the exclusives now. Some of them really good. Im also picking up 25th figs that I like, mostly vehicles but some figs. I picked up the HoH Flint, Beachhead and some BATS. Id like to get some cobra troopers, but havent decided which one makes a decent troop builder and is available.

[RaygeOn]

Ok that explains it, I havent seen Collection 1 Wave 3 yet. I also got the Helix wave at Wilton Target. I do have an extra Helix, Pit Commando and Hawk if you need it.

If you haven't parted with those figures yet, I would love to grab them!

[gijoeben1]

Ray you are soooo weak. :)

Capital District gang...we should really do a swap meat soon. Anyone else going to be hitting up TRU on Sunday when the 2 figures for $9.99 sale starts? THinking about being there at 10am when theyopen...at those prices its nice to stock up on multiples and non essential figures.

We could all meet there in the AM at TRU, then shoot over to Dunkin' DOnuts for some AM coffee and do some swap and sellin'? If not this weekend we should try and do something like that soon.

Hehehe!! Love to meet up, but I am in Lake Placid with the family. I shall be returning on Sunday, however, it shall be later in the day.

[gijoeben1]

Weekend at a lake....hmmm, thinking RC Hydrofoil...will have to add that to my list of "customs I'll get to someday"

Anyone see those Dog Tag things at any of the Walmart stores around? I know I know...lucky to find the figures in the toy dept. but figured someone might have seen 'em.

[xcobrasoldierx]

times sq has roc figs for 7.99 which is pretty good they have a few bbq and firefly figs and almost not completely empty
there is a truck there now they where unloading it so im sure they prob will have a load in the morning of new figures or prob will have em all out on sunday / saturday
since this place has no stockroom from what i remember ..

[gijoeben1]

Ok, anyone spy those cool GIJOE DogTag engravers at any Walmarts in the capital district? I gotta cut back on the coffee:)

[btmarine]

I plan on going to Clifton Park TRU early.

I'll put those figs to the side for whoever needed them, if you dont find them in the next few weeks, just let me know. Although the Pit Commando may be opened for parts...my son keeps asking for that other shield.

[gijoeben1]

my local walmart (cobleskill) still has not put out ROC figures yet. What the heck is going on? Is walmart just not participating? I don't get it...

[gijoeben1]

shoot, who else forgot that the DVD Season 1 came out this past for the original cartoon? Believe it was on sale at Target...anyone see them out there?

[HudsonValleyHunter]

shoot, who else forgot that the DVD Season 1 came out this past for the original cartoon? Believe it was on sale at Target...anyone see them out there?


I couldn't find it at Pk. Target but I found 2 copies at Fishkill Walmart. Left 1 behind.

[CG23]

shoot, who else forgot that the DVD Season 1 came out this past for the original cartoon? Believe it was on sale at Target...anyone see them out there?

Yes I saw it at a bunch of differnent Targets for $16.99. I can't make it to the TRU this Sunday Morning but that does sound like a good idea to get together sometime soon. WM in Rotterdam has stuff out now, but nothing of mention besides maybe a few Ice Daggers.

[dmizrok]

Got my season 1 in E G target...NO FIGS WHATSOEVER at Walmart E G...Thundercats season 1 part TWO and season 2 part TWO at Big lots 6 bucks...(no part ONES though)
still looking for Pit commandos and a Helix though...

[YOU2]

The toy r us in white plain got alot of roc and 25th gioe but the walmart got not and the target got alot roc ....

[dmizrok]

anyone hitting Colonie TRUS sun...if you see an extra Helix or Pit trooper...toss it with the 25th figs for me lol hitting it up, but not till noon or so...

[gijoeben1]

If I see any, I'll put them behind the 25th stuff...If not there check the Transformers or Star Wars figures. Might be a better hiding spot behind those...call my cell if u need to dude 518-231-0163 if ya can't find any...might have had to hide 'em in a different spot if there is a lot of staff hanging around.

[dmizrok]

cool thanx!

[gijoeben1]

Wolf Rd has NOTHING new...not even a TRU exclusive Firefly...same old nonsense. No Helix or Pit commando...same fodder. Still, cool savings if your looking to add some doubles or if you've been on the fence on what has been out there. Target in Colonie also nothing new...

[gijoeben1]

oh, and if anyone was thinking about picking up Duke in Desert gear, I have one I don't want. WOuld be interested in trading for a Neo Viper or that purple Viper figure. Picked him up thinking I could use something for a custom, but upon opening the figure, realized I cannot. Craptastic! At least I picked him up on sale:)

[Bionic Commando]

It seems like everytime when there are good sales I'm low on funds.Nothing new has been restocked in the local areas.I picked up a raincheck for the Season 1 Joe dvd from Target so when I'm ready to get it I'll get it for the sale price.Poughkeepsie Target finally has a repacker first time I saw one.Some douche switched out the Frostbite with some old school ARAH Joe from the Ice Dagger vehicle.Poughkeepsie TRU has to be the weakest they still haven't set up their ROC Joe section like the other TRU's.Nothing in Fishkill Walmart but a stupid endcap for the costumes and 12" figures.Wave 1 cloggers at the Poughkeepsie K-Mart for $9 a piece!!Mohegan Lake Walmart nothing but wave 1 cloggers.Jefferson Valley TRU nothing but wave 1 cloggers also and someone stole the drivers from the APV Steel Crusher and Cobra Gunship.Seriously man if you can't afford this line don't bother collecting,I hope those were young punk kids and not some grown man doing that because that would be sad to go through all that trouble to repack.Seeing stolen and repacked shit pisses me off and one of the reasons I hate looking at stores and rather do online shopping.I'll be out on the rounds again and post anything I find to help people save gas and wasting time

[CG23]

Nothing of mention at the Queensbury TRU. Did pick up a few figs I've been holding out on buying until the sale. Also a pair of Neo Vipers.

[xcobrasoldierx]

times sq has a bunch but all dumped in one little bin which makes it hard to dig thru i did see zartan and destro baroness , heavy duty a few neo vipers storm shado snake eyes and on one of the end caps they have all bbq and prob a few firefly's i guess bbq will be sitting there for a while there got to be over 50 of him i passed on most didnt buy any since moneys low at the moment but i prob will pick up a few fire fly's and troop build him i kind of like the look on this one mostly looking for ice vipers at the moment

[Bionic Commando]

I hope you guys read the Sunday paper.I took the weekly ad for TRU from the Sunday Daily News and used it at all the empty and quiet Targets full of ROC toys while everyone was fighting over at TRU's.I even got my figures for cheaper with the price match lol.You have to have a physical weekly circular,can't use any online printouts and I believe its only in this Sundays paper as none of the TRU's even had their own Sunday ad in their stores

Since you like Star Wars I'm surprised you didn't pick up one those Clone Wars AT-TE Walker things for %50 off at $50.I was thinking about getting one and painting it gunmetal grey or black and put my Cobra B.A.T.S in there

[Scoop]

Has anyone seen those dog tag making machines in any of the Wal-Mart stores on Long Island?

If so please let me know which location has one.

I want to make some of those ROC dog tags.

[gijoeben1]

I haven't heard of anyone in NY saying they have found those Dog Tag machines w/ the ROC tags anyplace in the state of NY. Would be nice, these look really cool!

[dmizrok]

I think the Walmart in Glenmont has one...will check tomorrow and report back...

[CG23]

Queensbury TRU has their big front-of-store ROC display up. Nothing new figure wise though. Still nothing at the WM there. Same old at the Target.

[RaygeOn]

I hit every store from Exit 15 to Albany today and found....squat!! Still have yet to see any of the Helix wave in the wild. BTMarine, great to meet you, and keep your eye out! There are a great bunch of guys on here, and we should all get together at some point.

[Sorrel_Park]

Nothing at TRU Times Square. I thought there might be the chance of a display going up with new product, but nope. Same old bin filled with the remnants of Wave 1 of Collection 1 and 2. Nothing new.

[gijoeben1]

Saturday would probably be pretty good, not sure if any of you cats are free. We should probably set a date and just do that, I'm pretty flexible having weekends off. Mid/end of Aug isnt good as I'll be at JoeCon:)

[btmarine]

If anyone has vintage 82-88 figures, I am willing to trade 25th/RoC figs or buy them. Im collecting loose and in as good condition as possible. So if you have some older stuff and are focusing on new, LMK, maybe we can work something out. (My stuff to trade is all sealed)

Got it, will do.

[dmizrok]

...and Pit commandos of course...

[CG23]

Of course dmizrok. Same old at WM in Rotterdam and Target Niskayuna.

[Bionic Commando]

How did you get them for $3.33 a piece?!?! That's awesome please share!

I was price matching with the TRU ad I'm guessing for some reason she was thinking 3 for $9.99 even when I clearly said that they were on sale for 2 for $9.99 at TRU and even handed her the flier.I didn't realize till I walked outside that I looked at the reciept so I went back in a little later and got more for that price.

Poughkeepsie Target unpacked more cases of Helix Wave 3 this Sunday I'm guessing 5?I took the only 3 Pit Commandos I could find and 1 Elite Viper and 1 Eel.I left the rest on the endcap there should be a couple of everybody else.

I'm sure you should have some soon if not already in the backroom tonight.The delivery trucks have the same route and distribution centers.Its just a matter of getting them out to the salesfloor.On a side note I noticed I have 2 different packaging variants with the Pit Commando with the accessories located differently in the package

Nada, yet Keith. I did find a Flash, and two Crimson Vipers at the Colonie Target. The Targets are all starting resets in the toy areas. Where are the elusive Elite Vipers and Eels?!? Gah!

[Sgt. Kayfabe]

Picked up a Helix and a Flash at the Galleria Target. They had lots of figs. No exclusives though.

[HudsonValleyHunter]

Ok.. So thanks for Bionic Commando's head's up , I was able to find these figures at Target. Couldnt find no pit commando's. I also picked up 2 cobra decals at toys r us. And picked up 2 more T-shirts at hot topic. Hopefully I see more of this wave out. Looks like alot of good stuff to come.

Just got the flag shirt off hottopic.com Grabbed the brown team shirt also. I am in Poughkeepsie, so if you are local I can shoot you when I come across finds. Saw 4 pit commandos and left them at Target. Are they hard to come by?

[CG23]

I think that the Target Exclusives will slowly start to show up. I believe the first sighting was last week or this week at a Target in Indiana. As for the Walmart Exclusives, how about all of the Walmarts just getting in any figures at all! Still none at Latham, CP, Wilton, Queensbury, East Greenbush, Amsterdam or Brunswick.

[Sgt. Kayfabe]

Found 2 Paris Pusuit SE with black timbers at Poughkeepsie Target. I thought these were rare?

[dmizrok]

Yeah, I've been hitting those stores also. Seems like there slacking on restocks, like always. I finally found Helix, Hawk, Flash, Pit Commando, etc. over in College Point though. They had a ton of each, but only 1 Pit Commando.

Funny. You found 2 grey, I found 2 black. I am wondering if there are even any "rare" variants. It is probably just a common variant like the pit commando.

[dmizrok]

^^^ALL ive seen are black ones....havent seen ANY greys yet...

[CG23]

This was the first time I had ever seen any grey Timber versions.

[RedEyes]

Went over to Westbury Target today. They had a few Wave 3 figures. Looks like someone got all the Pit Commandos, Flash and Helix figures. I didn't mind though since I found them in College Point. So they had the Crimson Viper, Eel, Elite Viper and Hawk. Mostly in the aisle, not the end cap.

Also, in the mall. Finish Line has the New Era Joe hats. Picked up the Cobra logo one!

[RedEyes]

sorry double post

[HudsonValleyHunter]

Just got in from target. Found the 1 pit commando bionic hid for me , thanx! and found another one in the joe section. Seems like they have been putting out 1 case a day. Im glad to see they are moving there though.

[gijoeben1]

found General Hawk today at Nisky Target, the one with the Resolute Duke Jetpack in grey. Thats all they had that was new. Its actually a pretty cool figure and I can see some great kitbash potential with what you get in the package. Anyone spy any Crimson Vipers...need some as well as a Helix...the Hawk is the first newer wave figure I've seen since the start. Sad really...

[gijoeben1]

we should also set up hiding spots in the normal stores for each other...if someone finds and hides 'em for me that'd be awesome!

[dmizrok]

Ill be on the lookout for you Ben...

[Sorrel_Park]

Among the peg-warming figs of Wave 1 Collection 1 and 2, I found one lone Reactive Impact Armor Duke at Brooklyn Target this evening.

This means Collection 1 Wave 2 is out and someone snagged the CC, PP SE, PP SS and DA Scarlett.

Hopefully they'll restock this newer wave over the weekend!

Thats weird because I picked up a Crimson Neo Viper from Nisky Target today around noon time and saw no Gen. Hawk

[xcobrasoldierx]

found crimsonviper there where 2 , 1 hawk 3 elite vipers 2 eels 2 helix , seems the target near my job got a butt load of roc figures they about about 30 pegs of figures

[CG23]

I have 2 extra Joe Attack on Cobra Island packs. Anybody upstate interested? $34 each-cost plus divided up shipping costs. (plus shipping to you if necessary). Let me know.

[gijoeben1]

first run through the pegs I didn't see Hawk...After thumbing trough a 2nd time feeling like maybe I missed something did I see him.

[CG23]

Picked up 2 Crimson Neo Vipers, 1 Helix, 1 Elite Viper, 1 Pit Commando and 1 each of the four new (1st wave) Target exclusive Figs/Vehicles at the Latham Target. They only had one of each so it looks like they got 1 case (with none in stockroom). Left 2 Eels, 2 Hawks, and 2 Flashes there in the aisle.

Nice grab! I tried to get into the Colonie Target today and couldn't get in due to the flooding...

Thanks! It was a pretty good day. I went all the way around by the Dressbarn to get to the Colonie Target lol.

Left 1 grey Timber SE each at Target East Greenbush and at Target CP.

[RedEyes]

Just got back from College Point TRU. They got in a decent amount of the Helix wave, up by the front display. I picked up a Pit Commando, there were still a few more from what I can see, as well as a bunch of the others.

[gijoeben1]

Hide your children, lock your doors, make sure you car insurance is paid up and the airbags work...its time for a toy run baby!

[gijoeben1]

Ok, hit Nisky Target, Colonie Target, Washington Ave Walmart, Wolf Rd TRU...notta thing new...

That said I did find 3 Cobra Eels at the Colonie Target, with black Snake Eyes heads and the legs tampered with...the Capital District Repacker is at it again...gave them to a kid working in toys and he took them to the back room...I say we find this ass hat and have him skinned. Stopped to see my buddy Greg, he hooked me up w/ a Crimson Viper, Helix, and Pit Trooper. Pit trooper is a bit of a let down. Crimson Viper is kickin'!

So I plan on seeing the new movie while at JoeCon this year, but anyone interested in a Capital District Hisstank movie watch? We could meet up at Houlihans at crossgates for some beer and maybe a bite to eat and then watch the movie? just a thought I'm tossin' out there.

[Sorrel_Park]

Finally! Wave 2 & 3 hits Brooklyn Target (Atlantic Terminal). On Friday morning, I was able to grab Helix, Crimson Viper, Ice Viper, CC, Elite Viper, Flash and Desert Ambush Scarlet. (No PP Snake Eyes, left a PP SS on the peg, no Pit Commandos, no Eels).

They also had the exclusives for $9.99. Another collector spotted me and rushed to the section and swept a whole set into his basket. I challenged him, and said, "Really? You're taking all of them?" That's when he pointed to the several others hanging on the pegs! D'oh!

Snagged me a Snake Eyes w/Cycle. The Grand Slam looked cool but I passed. Also passed on the Eel w/Wave Crusher. I have both vehicles from the VvV days so...

As for the other collector, dude, if you're on these boards or reading this, I'm totally sorry I spazzed out and freaked a little.

[Bionic Commando]

I guess I'm the first in NY to find a Target exclusive Rhino,the $50 price hurts but I know they will go on clearance in the future just like all Target exclusives.Also found more Pit Commandos from Newburgh

Hey you know I'm almost positive they will.I've read here on the tank that they were practically giving them away the last time they were selling these on clearance at hasbrotoyshop and I remember the Ultimate Battle Packs and the last set of Target jets stuck around for 75% off so if these puppies start going for around $10 you know I'm getting a few lol.Its all about self control and patience my friend

I hear you on that. Had to take a drive out to Binghamton to see the wife's grandparents. Hit up the Target, WM and TRU in Vestal. WM had nothing to speak of. TRU had about 2 to 3 of Helix, Crimson Neo Viper, Eel, Elite Viper, Flash and Gen. Hawk. Picked up 2 Pit Commandos they had there. The Target had probably the biggest selection of ROC figures I have seen in person anywhere yet to date. They too had about 6 cases worth of the above mentioned figs. Picked up the 4 Pit Commandos they had there. Now I have a few of each package variation.

[gijoeben1]

Just got home from a little toy run to the Nisky Target. Grabbed Helix and Crimson Viper. They had an Eel, and General Hawk if any local guys are looking for them. I hid them behind some other military themed figures:)

[RaygeOn]

If anyone is looking for the "Helix wave" the East Greenbush Walmart has put out 4-5 cases of figures. Plenty of Elite Vipers, Eels, Crimson Neo-Vipers, Flash, Helix, and Pit Commandos! (I took 3 and left 2) Look behind the Sharc and the Spiderman box directly to its left. Go get 'em!

[xhairs]

target in Orchard park had 1 of helix,flash& pitt commando i grabed them all. they did have all the mini rides for 10bucks.
