Alabama G.I. Joe Sightings

[Barefoot Jedi]

Prattville Target marked their Joes down. Gump still hasn't.

They had a few COBRA Flints, an Airborne, TF Duke, MASS CC's. Destro/IG comic, R&R/Deep Six comic, Scrap-Iron comic and a Resolute 5-pack. Didn't get anything.

Man, wish I could find an Airborne and TF Duke up here.
Picked up a Conquest, Tiger Rat, PP Conquest; Might Muggs Baroness, Destro, and CC; a couple Vipers, MASS CC, Scarlett, Cobra Flint, Snow Serpent, Air Trooper, and a couple others, all on the Target sale. Might get a Shark, finally.

Saw the ROC Combat Heroes at Target, too.

[Barefoot Jedi]

I'm assuming the comment about Airborne and TF Duke is good ol' red, white and blue all-American sarcasm...?

[camper]

Nope. Have not seen an Airborne or TF Duke in months.
A Tanker buddy in Iowa asked if I was looking for anything, and I said I wanted a blue Scarlett, and he balked. Apparently they are common everywhere but here.

[Barefoot Jedi]

Well, Wave 9 was the least common wave 'round here, that's for sure, but I did see quite a few Pilot Scarletts.

Gump Target had finally marked their stuff down the other day.

Gump Target had finally marked their stuff down the other day.

Yeah I just got back from the Gump Target. The remaining figures had shrunk a lot. I got the last Resolute 5 pack mainly for the BAT and Duke's jet pack.

[Barefoot Jedi]

Would y'all all like to meet up in Birmingham to see ROC when it opens?

The Ham seems to be the central location for most of us.

Hell yeah! I am down.

[Barefoot Jedi]

Prattville Target had a ROTF Ravage, hadn't seen that before.

Oh, and they put out their ROC Combat Heroes, too. Yawn.

I stopped by K-Mart. Single cards were $3.20 in computer though peg still said regular price. Had Bazooka, IG Destro, 2 Major Bludds, Snow Job, TF Flint, BA CC, Flag Duke. Didn't get any.

Was hoping they might have put their ROC stuff out early but no such thing.

[GI C]

If you guys need the Best of the 80's DVD set then head to marshall's.I one of the sets at the Marshall's on Carl T Jones Rd in Huntsville.they were 14.99.

[pedwards10]

what is marshals???i thought it was a clothes store?

[GI C]

It is but they do have a small toy section.Kind of like Khols but cheaper.I mentioned I got the pack for 14.99.I went to another Marshells and they had DVD pakc 3-4.

[jestermon]

At the Hampton Cove Target, there is 1 Python Patrol Conquest-X30 for 12.48, everything is 50% off.

They only had blue CobraCommander with the mass crystal and several Rippers left.

Also some Storm Shadow Mighty Muggs.

[camper]

Same as above.
Would get more jets but no Tiger Rats around here anymore.
Got 3 Vipers, a MASS CC, Shark, and a Resolute 5pack for $30 this AM.

[SPECTER]

Hoover TRU wheres the Destro & Scarlett? 5 min after they open and I get the last Duke & SS. all thats left is HD and ripcord LOL

[camper]

So that was you. I figured I would see a Tanker there. I got a SE, Deep Six, Ferret, HD, and Firefly.

[Hot~Rod~Cowboy]

[SPECTER]

So that was you. I figured I would see a Tanker there. I got a SE, Deep Six, Ferret, HD, and Firefly.

yeah lol, I was there at 9 didnt see any cars go in at 5 after and 80% of it was gone. I was surprised how many people came in for them. it was like 3-4 father&sons 4-5 others.

I just called them to see about there next shipment they said not sure when they will get more.

PS if anyone happens to see an extra DesertA/ Armor Scarlett mind letting me know?

[chucktoys]

Trussville target put out there ROC toys today. Picked up storm shadow and duke. Passed on everything else.

[SPECTER]

which Duke you get? armor or desert

[HonestAbeJoeHooah]

i picked up 2 over here just West of you Bama boys. (FF and Bbq)

i strictly got them for trade fodder/ people who actually wanted them and could not find them.

If interested then LMK. thanks

[Hot~Rod~Cowboy]

went back to toys r us in huntsville saturday before going to the baseball game,talked to the asst manager and told her about it she checked and then let me go into the stock room and open any and all cases that i wanted too..bought destro duke storm shadow and snake eyes,
then went to target today in decatur they put all thier stuff out picked up the black armored duke,cobra commander,and both paris pursuit snakes and stormy

will snag some more stuff this week but looking at the dukes i might return the desert ambush duke to toys r us

[chucktoys]

hey specter i got the desert one, thought he might be able to be used as a green shirt for desert ops.

[SPECTER]

ah ok, just seeing if anyone even seen armor duke? been to 3 stores with ROC and haven't seen one.

I got unmasked SS, Armor Scarlett, and Paris SE from Alabaster Target, those where last 1s each, no Destro, or Baroness but saw 1Cobra Commander, 2 Viper and the commons.

My favorite figure so far is Desert Duke. Great sculpt & gear. only slight problem is his "vest" it has alot more detail in back, and none infront almost. I have 3 now; 1will stay boxed, 1 will stay Duke, other will become Linnox from Transformers1&2

Have not seen PP SE, unmasked SS, crunchberry CC, or stealthy Duke or Scarlett, or Ice Viper yet.

Trussville Target has a full end cap display, looks good. I have picked up about 8 figures so far, pretty happy with them.

[RedNek]

Oxford Target had a good bit of stuff there. I picked up both SE, both SS, Cover Girl, Scarlett, and the PIT. Didn't see Baroness, Destro, or camo Duke.

[camper]

Trussville Target has one Baroness and multiple Destros.
Fultondale Target has one stealthy Scarlett, multiple stealthy Dukes, crunchberry Commanders, Ice Vipers.

Only thing I have not seen yet is Helix or the Pitt Commando.

Damn,I wish they would let me do that.I want to the Huntsville TRU this morning and I asked an employee andhe told me they won't be putting out the Joe stuff for 2-3 weeks because of the huge desply for them.Someone was giving me some BS.Both Huntsville Target had all thier stuff out.I picked up the Cobra Gunship.

[Hot~Rod~Cowboy]

GI C if your back in the marshals aera in jones valley do You know if they have anymore best of 80s dvd sets left?

and when you go to toys r us ask the asst manager a chick with kinda mid lenght curly black hair she check the computer and saw it..she did say they were going to put the stuff out sunday but when i went thier yesterday i got the same run around as i did on friday night

I am going to go to Marshells on Saturday and see if I can find the 80's pack for you.I am not going to promise anything.I went to the Marshell on University in the Target shopping center and they only have DVD pack 3-4.

[Barefoot Jedi]

Nowhere in the Gump has put anything out other than the 3 cases of Collection 2 at Target the other day.

[SPECTER]

I was back at Alabaster Target and picked up a Cobra Commander, and Viper. they still have 1 viper but the rest are commons HD,Ripcord,etc..

anyone see a Helix or Pit Commando around Birmingham? Only two I need other than Cover Girl

[GI C]

Both the Targets in Huntsville had a good number of figures.I think just collection one and two.The university Target had like 12 Night Ravens.I only grabbed the Gunship.I love that thing.

[Barefoot Jedi]

I like the Gunship also, but I see it more as a flying submarine.

Lots of hate for the baby Night Raven but I like it a lot, too.

Haven't opened the Steel Crusher yet.

Those Ice Vipers are addictive. That's a premium action figure there.

[mav55mdash]

So has any body been disappointed with walmart and there lack of Rise of Cobra figures

[GI C]

I mentioned this in one of the WTF is walmart doing threads.The only Walmarts I saw the basci figures and the small vehiles at was in Hartselle and Decatur.The Hartselle store had the figures on a card board dipaly and the Decatur Walmart had them on the pegs.They only had the first 2 waves.No cobra Commaders though.

[Edhaskel]

WM on 150 in Bham had a pallet full of boxes they were getting ready to put out Friday evening...

[HonestAbeJoeHooah]

has anyone been to the target on 280 in the B'ham area lately?

do they have anything good on clearance atm?

[camper]

has anyone been to the target on 280 in the B'ham area lately?

I think they are out of everything ME.

[camper]

Only one area WM around me has put out RoC figures, just w1 & 2 thus far. I also am looking for the Helix wave.

[HonestAbeJoeHooah]

Does the wally in the wild wood area have anything?

i wanted to check for some FOV stuff at that target on 280

[Edhaskel]

Just checked Wildwood WM....they didnt have anything as of 11:30AM

[HonestAbeJoeHooah]

cool man thanks for the heads up.

i may run into you in the next few days over that way :)

[camper]

Irondale and Roebuck WM's have RoC stock.

Still have not seen the Helix wave.

[camper]

Anybody seen Helix yet?

[HonestAbeJoeHooah]

well back home now after a few days in Bama. So we were in a few B'Ham spots. Found some at the 280 target and, at tru by the Galleria too.

Whats the deal with k mart's $8.99 for roc figs? haha! Needless to say nothing toy wise was purchased there period.

[SPECTER]

nope no helix yet. still need her and pit commando.

anyone hitting Hoover TRU tomorrow morning for the sale?

[camper]

nope no helix yet. still need her and pit commando.

anyone hitting Hoover TRU tomorrow morning for the sale?

thought about it. But i will just print off the flyer and use it at WM this week. Closer, good selection.

[SPECTER]

didnt miss much. same old same old.

asked when display would be set up they said sometime this week

[mav55mdash]

I was disappointed with the selestion, already have all of these figures. Hopefully we will get the Helix wave soon, new stuff is always nice.

[GI C]

I would like the pit Commando and the basic Hawk.Helix I am not interested in.Here is something strange.I went to the Walmart in Cullman and they had all thier Joe stuff out.Small vheicles and the mid sized vehicles as well.Although just collections 1 and 2.I would like to think I saw the night raven as well.Decatur and Hartselle had the figures (col 1 and 2)and small vehicles.Athens and Huntsville Walmarts haven't seen anthing ROC except for the 12" SE and SS and the Snake Eyes Role play set.This getting old.

[BigBri1001]

same here in Birmingham, none of the walmarts have any roc stuff out except the snake eyes costume set and a few 12" snake eyes and storm shadows. I was told my my brother n law who works for Wally world that they will ahve all the stuff out by the monday before the movie comes out.

[camper]

Two area WM have full RoC displays and all vehicles. Trussville WM does not, of course, as it is the closest to me.
Hoover TrU has the front was done. Same figures. Huge cardboard cutouts of SE and SS on wall display. DA's (associates) were standing there arguing about the cartoon while I was trying to look through the figures, had to ask one to move so I could shop. Of course he put aside a big stack for himself.

[BigBri1001]

Ahh cool las t i looked 4 days ago they hadnt put em out. Nice to see that TRU finally got the display out. Prob is they shouldn't allow employees to cherry pick cases personally years ago when I worked at KBee toys I saw 2 guys get fired for doing that. and when you say all vehicles do you mean the dragonhawk as well? and if so which Walmart cause that is the only vehicle I really want

[mav55mdash]

I hope that the helix wave and the general hawk wave are in the same numbers as the first two when they are put out, should make it easier to get all of them.

[camper]

Dragonhawk will not be out until later in the year, well after the movie I think. At least that would be on par for Hasbro when they debut figures/vehicles at SDCC. Took a couple months for the Extreme Conditions sets to arrive after they debuted at SDCC last year.
The standard assortment already out is what I meant -- [ferret], Ice Dagger, Night Raven, Steel Crusher, Panther, Mole Pod, [snow mobile], etc. 12" figures, costumes, kiddee stuff.
Btw, I printed TrU's sale ad and WM price matched for me. Have not tried Target yet. Might want to get some good figs on the cheap this way without busting it out to TrU.


Edit: Damn. I am stupid.

[crayfish]

Hey. I'm new here...live in Cullman. I'm still looking for Pit Commando and carded Hawk...since I have Pit Hawk.

[Edhaskel]

Hey Cray....welcome!

[camper]

Fellas, first BHam sghting of w3. Helix and Flash were gone, but I picked up Crimson Viper, Hawk, and Pit Commando at Fultondale Target.
And now you know....

[SPECTER]

Hoover TrU has the front was done. Same figures. Huge cardboard cutouts of SE and SS on wall display.

Of course he put aside a big stack for himself.

Let me take a wild guess and say it was the guy thats about 25-30 200-220lbs and a beard/gotee, am I right?

when I asked when display would go up he said "mid week but I have seen all the figures come through here" wave 3? "no havnt seen'em"
guess we have competition.

Im going by today when they open, big shipment of Joe was supposed to come last night, and sorry guys if you all do the same. Im going to be fighting tooth & nail for Hawk,Flash,Helix,Pit Commando. Only want one each so hope theres a few if they have them.

[camper]

Let me take a wild guess and say it was the guy thats about 25-30 200-220lbs and a beard/gotee, am I right?


He was in on it, yes, but the jerk that was shopping was much smaller. Pop him in the nose for me if you get the chance.

Gonna stock up on some Vipers and PP SE and SS at WM before TrU's sale ends.

[SPECTER]

well just got back they where right about the big shipment they had
























6-10 cases of wave 1 only. me and the others there were all disappointed.

[Edhaskel]

Let me take a wild guess and say it was the guy thats about 25-30 200-220lbs and a beard/gotee, am I right?

Wait, is the guy you are describing a TRU employee or a scalper?

[SPECTER]

Wait, is the guy you are describing a TRU employee or a scalper?

I was meaning he could be both.

or notlikly, a fan on the inside


so disappointed I want a Helix,Hawk,Flash now, can even do without Pit Commando. anyone know when TRU sale ends

edit.

well guys i caved and paid about $20 on BBTS for Hawk. toywiz has helix but for 22+S&H NO THANKS!

[camper]

Wait, is the guy you are describing a TRU employee or a scalper?

He was an employee. Has a Cobra and a Joe sleeve, pretty good guy. I was just complaining about the jerk employee that was standing in front of me hogging the wall while conversing loudly with other employees 15ft away. As Snoop says, "You got to get yours but fool I gotta get mine."

Specter, I am sure we will be flooded with w3 pretty soon. Just wait it out. Movie figures will always be in abundance. But good score anyway.

TrU sale ends Sat night or Sunday, I would guess, but like I said, print the ad and use it at WM. I have.

[BigBri1001]

was at TRU today and they had 6 unopen cases asked about em and Manager told me they WERE NOT going to be opened until all the ones out sold or were almost all gone. oh and if u just have to have a Helix now smalljoes.com has her for 18.99

[SPECTER]

its kind of funny at first all I wanted was Desert Duke, PPSE,FF,and a Scarlett. With every one I buy I want more, now I have all w1&2. and might buy the Dragonhawk & NightRaven. I have to have them all lol.

Homewood walmat finally put theirs out but all they had was W2. I will be checking Alabaster WM,Target and Calera WM later today.

[Reaper_SE]

Here in Montgomery I've found a good number of figures in TRU including Both Scarletts, Snake Eyes, Storm Shadows, and Dukes. They also have firefly (who is one of the best figures of the series so far IMO), Deep Six, Ripcord, Abel, Heavy Duty, Shipwreck, Covergirl, and all the Vipers. Pretty lucky. But my prized figure if the Agent Helix who I had to et off Amazon, but well worth it.

[camper]

Same here. My local WM finally put theirs out and it was only w2.

I am liking a lot of these figures. Want a Dragonhawk and a Night Raven, too. Looking forward to the Target exclusives!

[camper]

Returned a couple items at Hoover TrU today, picked up 8 figures. Hope that helps for with a restock.

[camper]

3 posts in a row. wow. kinda rude of me, sorry.


Found an entire Helix wave!!! Fultondale Target, that is 2 cases in three days. BHam-ers might want to check there. Have not opened them yet, but Helix and Flash look good. Elite Viper card art looks good.
Good luck fellas!

[GI C]

I did find the remains of the Helix wave this morning at the Target on University Drive in Huntsville.The only was I saw where the elite trooper and the Pit commando(which was the only figure I was looking for,great figure by the way).No helix or Flash.

This must have been yesterday. I was there at 8 AM this morning with my son (they did have the Cobra Eel) and asked if they had any more in the back and all they had were wave 1 cases (we checked).

I still need a carded Hawk (finally found a Pit Commando).


If anybody in the Birmingham/Huntsville (since I live between both) area find an extra carded Hawk before a week from today (that is when my son goes home)...please let me know...so I can pack it with his stuff.

Are you the same Crayfish that posted at Yojoe.com?

[crayfish]

Are you the same Crayfish that posted at Yojoe.com?

No...but I really hope there aren't a lot of other Crayfish imposters on the net. lol

My real name is Sean but EVERYONE calls me Crayfish. I post on a lot of Star Wars and Indiana Jones forums (I'm in the 501st) and I post on FWOOSH and RTM's forum (I think Ed Haskel has seen me there cause I see him there a lot). I have a 10 year old son and he is a huge figure nut like his dad. I collect a lot of different 3 3/4inch figures from different lines. My son has really gotten into the new movie stuff as my parents bought him quite a lot fo stuff when the stuff first hit. It sucks that he has to go back home before the movie hits so I guess our first time seeing it together will be when he is here at Christmas on DVD (if it makes it out by Christmas).

So that is the little bio about me...hope to get to know you guys better.

[BigBri1001]

Damn it I knew I shouldda gone to target in Fultondale Friday LOL oh well eventually I will get Helix, Flash and the Pit commmando.

Also on a side note anyone know how I can add an avatar to my profile instead of this stupid Ebay sign that keeps showing up? Concidering I don't even have any freakn items on Ebay atm.

Mine!
Specter picked up a Black Timber SE one Friday from a KM I planned to visit before I got home, but was running late to meet my wife so skipped it. My loss, his gain. Point for Specter!

Have a pic handy (like on your desktop or My Documents, or a link from a website). Click User CP in the top title bar, then Edit Avatar under the Settings and Options header on the left. You got it from there.

[SPECTER]

oh man I couldn't believe that when it happened. was like the only figure they had to.

Talked to somebody new at TRU and he said hes a huge Joe fan and is collecting ROC. Thats 2 guy buying ROC that work there. I asked if maybe they had a case in the back and he guessed exactly what figures "Helix,Pit Commando,Flash,and maybe Hawk" I wanted, but I have Hawk on order. Said no W3 case has come through there, also said he would bet the next shipment will have W3 cases if anyone is still looking.

[Reaper_SE]

Ok so this is A LOT of stuff to read through but I covered as much as i could. If anyone around Montgomery sees the Snake Eyes with the motorcycle or the Resolute one PLEASE post immediately. And has anyone seen the new Beachhead that is coming out as rise of cobra/resolute?

[kp_edge]

Well, since I'm relatively new here I'll ask... any other collectors in the Mobile area? I'm over on the Eastern Shore of the bay.

Daphne WM still hasn't put out any product (but has plenty of GForce hamsters on an endcap) and the Target hasn't hit W3 yet.

Sigh...

[BigBri1001]

TY for the tip on setting up an avatar

[SPECTER]

Ok so this is A LOT of stuff to read through but I covered as much as i could. If anyone around Montgomery sees the Snake Eyes with the motorcycle or the Resolute one PLEASE post immediately. And has anyone seen the new Beachhead that is coming out as rise of cobra/resolute?

not sure if Beachhead is out yet. I will be sure to mention it if I see him showing up.

[chucktoys]

Found the helix wave at trussville target today, picked up helix but left the rest.

[Barefoot Jedi]

I was in Auburn and Opelika today and saw ROC stuff at a Wal-Mart for the first time.

Nothing of novelty that I saw.

[Reaper_SE]

Thanks. I like most other people are really looking forward to the resolute figures that will be released as Rise of Cobra figures. That Resolute Snake Eyes is the only figure I need now that I got a Sideshow Snake Eyes.

[crayfish]

Trussville Target had Cobra Elite Viper left. I passed.

I am no longer looking for any of the movie stuff thanks to a fellow Tanker (well at least until the Accelerator Suit Duke comes out...maybe the Paris Pursuit Baroness and Doctor Rex).


I also wanted to say that even though I am new here and haven't read EVERY single page of the previous page to the Alabama thread...I wanted to tell you guys that you are some of the most respectful and ...well...grown up group of fellow collectors. I am glad I was told about this place because that is what caused me to leave Rebelscum.

[BigBri1001]

well we are glad you are here :) I like to think 98% of us are good people, it's just the other 2% that ruin it for everyone LOL. Oh and still no wave 3 at Bessemer Target yet :(

[mav55mdash]

Found he helix wave at inverness walmart. Picked up Helix and pit commando, they were the noly parts left of the wave.

[camper]

Am I the only one that is not big on the Pit Commando?

[Reaper_SE]

No. I don't really care about him, but most people probably pick him up either to bolster their forces, salvage the parts.accessories, or maybe just figuring he will be exceptionally valuable. Aside from the Single Hawk exclusive from Target I'm done with the true movie figures. The Resolute figures that are supposedly awaiting release as movie figures however will be my top priority.

[SPECTER]

Am I the only one that is not big on the Pit Commando?

I just want 2 because I need 1 for a custom second I might make a Dusty with,never found his pack and hated his camo anyway(Dusty should have GulfWar chocolate chip)
went ahead and bought Flash off BBTS also so now im looking for;

Helix
AS Duke
RA Ripcord
Arctic SE
The Docter
Pit Commando

also anyone seen the Dragonhawk yet? really want me one of them.

[chucktoys]

just saw the pics of the ripcord in desert camo and that will be the rip to get. Over all i am just not too impresed with the move line am really hoping they get back to the classic stuff soon.

[SPECTER]

anyone going to TRU when they open tomorrow? still want a Helix maybe they'll get a Dragonhawk in.


Last week was so funny 6+ of us adults flying through the doors looking for the Helix wave all to be disappointed. funniest moment of my life.

update.

and what do ya think they had.... NADA

[SPECTER]

Anyone know what day Target gets their trucks in?

anyone going to the midnight showing next week? if so which theater who going to? I am going to the RAVE in Vestevia. already got my tickets.

[camper]

Trussville Target has a Hawk, 2 Crimson Vipers, 2 Elite Vipers, 1 EEL.

[thomas76]

I got a PP Snakeyes with grey Timber, General Hawk, and the Red Neo Viper at Montgomery Target tonight.

[SPECTER]

looked at TRU yesterday and Homewood,Calera,Alabaster Walmarts and 280 & Alabaster Targets. no W3 or Dragonhawk. sooner or later I guess.

but I went ahead and got Arctic SE off BBTS but Helix sales out to quick.

[Shpwrk]

Hey guys...I'm kind of new to posting, but I'm in the Huntsville area.

So far Wal-Mart has been a letdown. No basic figs or vehicles yet.
The only Wal-Mart I've seen them is Fayetteville, TN (I actually live in Hazel Green) but all they had was the big block they put in the middle of the aisle.
Target has been my go to place. Last night I went to both Targets. I found 1 pit commando at university Dr. They had figures all over the place, just not figures I wanted. They had the front end cap, the aisle and also a stack of figures on a back endcap. The back end cap had a lot of PP Snake Eyes with white(grey) Timber. On the front endcap they had replaced the Pit with the R.H.I.N.O. exclusive. Downside was they didn't have any in stock. They checked and said that the Decatur Target had 4 in stock, but I didn't fele like making the drive. The Jones Valley Target didn't have much, no figures I needed.
The ones I'm looking for (like everyone else) are Eel, Flash, Helix, and of course Resolute Snake Eyes when he hits. That wave looks really good. Plus the smaller exclusive sets will be good.
So, thanks for reading my rant. I'll let y'all know if I see anything else of interest in HSV.

[camper]

Fultondale Target had two Helix waves out. Grabbed both Helix and PC's, one Flash. Left a Flash (bad paint apps though), the Hawks, EELs, Elites on the pegs. Have not seen the exclusives yet or the new vehicles, checked Trussville and Fultondale.

[SPECTER]

I just missed the helix wave at 280 & Alabaster Target, guess I will hit TRU up Thursday morning again for W3 & the Dragonhawk

[GI C]

Found the Target Exclusive Vehicles at both Targets in Huntsville.No sign of the Dragon Hawk.I saw the remains of the Helix wave at one Target.They only had the EEL,Eilte Viper,the Crimson Viper,Pit Commando and Hawk.I picked up the EEL with the Wave Crusher sled.Walmart has yet to put aout the basic figures and Vehicles.

[Edhaskel]

Anyone seeing any new stuff other than ROC? Any ML Nemesis or Target JLUs?

[camper]

Left a Helix on the pegs at Trussville Target (end cap -- they are doing the reset right now).

Ben, I saw the newest wave of WM exclusive ML at Eastwood. Had The Punisher in black and the gren with the skull painted on his face. Most of the figures for the wave look really good.

Whoah! Wait, I am sorry, it was the Trussville WM that had them!! My bad.



Edit -- got two of the Target exclusives at 280 Target. Also had the MU 2packs, passed on them for now. Wolverine looks sharp, Thunderball is tall. Might make for the base of a good Road Pig custom.

[SPECTER]

anyone seen the Ice Dagger around? think I want a second one but the only one I have seen is the first one i bought.

guess im going back to TRU tomorrow.

edit.
TRU had 5 cases of the Helix wave, there where still 3 of Helix&PC and rest where untouched.
no Dragonhawk yet, man do I really want it.

[mav55mdash]

check the inverness walmart for another Ice dagger, there was one last night.

[GI C]

The Walmarts around the Athens-Huntsville area are treating the Joe stuff like a second class citizen.What is Walmart doing.I did find Helix and Flash at TRU this morning after work today.

[SPECTER]

check the inverness walmart for another Ice dagger, there was one last night.

ok I might be over that way later, thanks

[Reaper_SE]

In Montgomery Target and Toys R Us have gotten more of all kinds of Vipers in, Toys R Us actually having the best selection of them. I found a Scarlett, Helix, Pit Commandos, and Elite, Eel, and Crimson Vipers. Wal-Mart on Chantilly carries nothing, absolutely no trace or hint of carrying anything in the future either.

[jestermon]

Attalla Wal-Mart skipped all prior waves and got the Helix wave with the red Neo-Viper.

2 Helix's and "G1" ARAH combat heroes are down to $5, I am waiting till they go down more.

Unfortunately, they only ever got Snake Eyes/Shadow/Zartan, Destro/Covergirl, Barbeque/Storm Shadow, Bazooka/Firefly, Duke/Viper, Roadblock/Cobra Commander

[GI C]

The Helix wave has been hitting north Alabama Walmars as well.No 2 packs as of yet.

[camper]

Found ROC Para Viper and Accelerator Suit Duke (and masked Arctic SE) at WM today. Heads up.
Btw, KM has 25th vehicles on sale for $12.99 through Sat, and ROC figures for $6.99.

which WM need me some more Arctic SEs

[camper]

which WM need me some more Arctic SEs

I meant SS, but Arctic SE is in that wave too. Eastwood.

[GI C]

Spotted the Doc lewis wave at the Athens Walmart this morning,about 3 cases worth.I think the Paraviper,Arctic Se and Artict SS are in the assortment as well.They were still in the cases.I am very amazed that the GI Joe stuff is hitting Walmart hard now.

[camper]

yeah, two WMs in two days and I found the wave, but only half of it. White SE, PP Baroness, and Dr were sold out at both.

Edit: make that three WMs. Did find reactive suit Ripcord though.

[SPECTER]

I really love the Arctic SE. need a few for customs because I dont really see Hasbro making Arctic Ripcord and Breaker, easy as that would be.

[mav55mdash]

I stopped by the inverness walmart tonight around 11:30 and Found the artic SE and SS, delta 6 duke and reactive armor rip as well as paris pursuit baroness. Just have to find the doctor and the para viper to be caught up. They had a ton of the old stuff and 1 helix left...

[camper]

found a pp baroness in trussville yesterday.

1 helix at tru if anyone wants one on the cheap. sale ends tomorrow. also had pp se with grey timber.

[SPECTER]

found a pp baroness in trussville yesterday.

1 helix at tru if anyone wants one on the cheap. sale ends tomorrow. also had pp se with grey timber.

wow where was she went looking for another one yesterday and didn't see anything good.

[GI C]

The only thing to report is that I finally got my Stingers from EE today.Oh,yeah.

[SPECTER]

just to let you all know some Kmarts are selling joes for $6.99 but Bravo vehicles are $30

[Shpwrk]

ok, I finally made myself go back to Walmart on Drake. They finally re-set. I picked up a Accelerator suit Duke and a black coat Dr.
I left 2 crimson vipers, 1 helix, 1 pp baroness, 1 flash, and 2 hawks.
I wanted all, but my wife would kill me!
Happy hunting!

[GI C]

My word a Joe fan in Huntsville?!!

[camper]

Found The Thing and Ms Marvel variants. Also, another Hawk and Pit Commando.
Still looking for Dr.

[Edhaskel]

Any DC Universe wave 9 sightings in Bama yet???

[GI C]

I got Zap,Recondo and Major Altitude from a fellow Tanker yesterday.These are some really nice figures.

[mav55mdash]

That new DC universe 5 pack with the exclusive lethur was at the inverness walmart. they had 1 left on the shelf.

[mav55mdash]

They also have SE with grey timber, They don't have any with the black timber, about 10 of the grey timbers on the shelf. Which one is suppose to be rare?

[camper]

i would say the black one, but i do not know that it would be worth your time or money to go searching for one. i do not see these as being huge collector items. but i am wrong a lot. just ask my wife.

[GI C]

I went ahead and bought one of the Corps vehicles from Walmart.I deceided to get the hovercraft sense GI Joe doesn't have a water based vehicle(thanks for that Hasbro).I cut the palstic strap over the copit and the thing seats 2 figures.

[mav55mdash]

The chelsea walmart has the new wave out, 2 helix, 2 pit commando, 1 hawk, 2 elite viper, 2 eels. I picked up the doc with black lab coat and the para viper. I am all caught up, can't wait for more new figures to show up.

[camper]

Finally found a Dr and Arctic SE. Would like to find a white coat Dr and add Mindbender's head. Not likely, I guess.

[crayfish]

White coat Doctor may end up like the grey wolf Timber...I think it is too early to tell.

[Barefoot Jedi]

Millbrook Wal-Mart had the Crimson Hydra and Dragonhawk. Never seen those before.

[camper]

Yo, Specter, got a Tanker buddy in IA that has an Arctic SE for trade. Interested?

[camper]

Sucks when you ain't got any Joes to hunt for.

[dawbanger]

Slowly Big Lots is resetting their mod for the toys they will be selling for Christmas.I Found an AH-6 Power Team Elite helicopter today for 12.99.It would make a great custom for joe or cobra,or if you want to make a diorama paying tribute to the 160th night stalkers it would work for that also.They also have the Marine PBR boats for 14$.I have seen one on here painted blue for the cobra eels.Hopefully they will be getting the A-10s back in stock.It sells for $30 and comes with some great accessories.

here is some pics of it.
http://store.foxholetoys.com/1scpoteelpus5.html

[camper]

anyone seen the WM 2packs?

[GI C]

It looks like they have been found in Texas.I have yet to see these in my neck of the woods.I am also looking for the Serpent armor with the Viper Commander.With the wave 1 Deluxe vehicles from Target we won't be seeing these for while.I was wondering if anyone can hook me up with 2 of the Black Snake amor sets.I got the Walmart Runnel Rat/Monkey wrench 2 pack from Walmart.com mainly to open.This is getting rediculous with the exclauvies with Walmart.We get the 12" Snake eyes and Stom shadow motorcycles but not the 2 packs?

[camper]

My buddy in Iowa Outbackk found the Wm 2packs yesterday.
Still have not seen a Dragonhawk or Stealth thingee either.

[GI C]

Be on the look out.I spotted the 2 packs at the Drake Walmart and the Sparkman drive Walmart in Huntsville today.Some were a bit beat up.I also found the Their/Rys 2 packs for Clone Wars.

[crayfish]

K-Mart 4 packs, Wal-Mart 2-packs and WM exclusive 12 inchers have shown up in Cullman, AL.

Looks like on Wednesday, my 3 3/4 inch Cinema of Fear figures will be arriving on my doorstep from BBTS so by Thursday my Joes and Stormtroopers will have all been slaughtered.

[Edhaskel]

Has anyone seen DC Universe Wave 9 (Green Arrow, ect...) anywhere in Bama?

[chucktoys]

saw the old sro 3 packs at tj maxx in trussville for 9.99

[chucktoys]

not joe related but found the star wars at-te at ross in hoover for 39.99 not bad $60 off retail.

[crayfish]

Also not Joe related; but Toys R Us in Hoover, Huntsville, and Tuscaloosa got in the Cinema of Fear 3 3/4 inch figures today. I had already received them from BBTS but I got 2 more Freddy Kruegers and 2 more Jason Vorhees to use for customs and trades. They fit in perfectly with GI Joe, Star Wars, and Marvel Universe. These are some pics I had in another thread of them.

anyone looking for a uss flagg? its in great shape and is only missing keel haul, the fuel tanker and taxing car, mic and one piece to the radar. Let me know if you are interested would like to sell it local and not have to ship it.

[jestermon]

The Wal-Mart in Hoover had 2 Deluxe Thrusts,2 Deluxe Gears, 2 Deluxe Jolts, 3 Deluxe Dead Ends.

I got 1 of the Thrusts left the other one there.

They also had those handful of Heroes, I had never seen them before, they were pretty neat but I am into GI Joe and Transformers right now, will probally be trying to find them later on after I think about wanting them.

No sign of ice cream twins weren't they in a wave before these guys?

The Target in Birmingham near the Best Buy, had a few exclusive Bruticus and Superions left.

Also had the Target Exclusive GI Joe packs, they had 2 duke jet packs, 3 Cobra Air Vipers

[GI C]

Did they have any serpent armor with the Commando viper.I am desparately looking for that one.

[jestermon]

I know it is not GI JOE but at the Atalla Walmart, they have 3 Red Deluxe Swerves, Jolt, an a whole end cap of the Fury of Fearswoop exclusives.

[camper]

Ice Cream twins can be found at Roebuck WM. Have several of them.

Cray, I got to Hoover TrU and looked for the Cinema figures. Saw a dude walking around with two while I was looking. Finally found the, but all they had was three Leatherface figs. Dammit.

[jestermon]

East Gadsden has 2 topless Storm Shadows, 2 black coated Doctors, and 3 ROC ParaVipers, got 1 left the other 2.

[jestermon]

Center Wal-Mart has 1 Para-Viper, they are on sale for $6.99 until October 12th.

I picked up Flash today, althought he is not going to be a Joe in my mind, looks too evil.

[Edhaskel]

Eastwood Kmart has City Strike Duke, Desert-Viper & Jungle Assault Ripcord. No sign of Arctic Threat Storm Shadow, City Strike Snake Eyes though....

[chucktoys]

pell city wallmart has whit coat rex.

[camper]

pell city wallmart has whit coat rex.

Dammit! I want one.

[GI C]

Spotted Benchpress and the Snow Serpent this afteroon at TRU after I got of work.I passed on them though.

[Edhaskel]

pell city wallmart has whit coat rex.

Scored one of these at Gardendale WM today!

[chucktoys]

Repacker hits tru in hoover, last night i was looking at the new Tie interceptor and noticed that the tie pilot was not there instead it was a new ROC viper (i think). I found 2 like that and took them to the service desk and had to explain what it was, not sure if they ended back out on the floor or what. I really hate repackers and I dont want anything bad to happen to them but i would love to see one get arrested for stealling a toy, that would be great. anyways had to vent just be on the look out for him.

[Edhaskel]

Is it me or has there not been shit on the shelves in Bham for months???

[GI C]

Huntsville is in the same situation.There hasn't been sheit in my area either.The people who work at our TRU are the biggest bunch of morons on the planet.They have not knowlage of thier own exclusives.I asked about the insecticons and they drew a blank stare at me.

[camper]

anyone seen the tru 5packs yet?

[mav55mdash]

I saw the insecticons at the Toys r us in hoover on Friday

[Edhaskel]

Still no WM Exclusive DC Classics in the Bham area.....

[Edhaskel]

Still no WM Exclusive DC Classics in the Bham area.....

To the scapler who bought up all the DCU 10 at the Eastwood WM between 5PM yesterday and 7AM today. Fuck you!

If it was a collector, I'm jealous.

[GI C]

Found a case of the ROC wave that had Charbroil at the Athens Alabama Walmart.The strange thing was the Doctor was in the case was the black coat version no the white one.No battle station as of yet.

[camper]

Saw that yesterday, too, but Charbroil had bad paint so I left it. Black coat Dr too.

[GI C]

Found the City Strike Snake eyes in Madison Alabama for only 5 bucks.I also got Charbroil for the fun if it.

[jeremywatts]

Just moved to Mobile from Baton Rouge LA. This week I found CS Snake Eyes along with the rest of his wave. In addition I found the Wave 2 deluxe figures with the Serpent Armor. I got two serpent armors along with Wet Suit and the Jet Pack. When I find a camera I can post pics.

[Edhaskel]

If anyone is still looking...the WM in Gardendale has a bunch of the exclusive Battle Stations. They're not in the regular toy section, but in the additional toy section by the garden/seasonal stuff.

[GI C]

the battle stations have hit the Athens Alabama Walmart as well.I got the survelance port.man,does that thing bring back memories.

[jestermon]

East Gadsden Wal-Mart has all 4 of the battle stations, they are past the actual Joe section on the same ilse on the left at the bottom.

By the Imaginex stuff, this is where the store tends to stick it's exclusives.

Also have the New blue Firebat, and the sub, for got what it was called, the one with the red Lamprey.

The Gadsden mall has eighties shirts for $9.99, they had Ghostbusters, G.I. joe cover art, Transformers, Toad, Atari, some others.

It is much cheaper then you usually get these shirts for, I got the Transformers and Ghostbuster.

[Shpwrk]

Yesterday the Huntsville Wal-Mart on Drake has the ice sabre and the dragonfly, the motorcycle with beachhead and the mini sub with lamprey. No new figures though, or battlestations.

[GI C]

Just moved to Mobile from Baton Rouge LA. This week I found CS Snake Eyes along with the rest of his wave. In addition I found the Wave 2 deluxe figures with the Serpent Armor. I got two serpent armors along with Wet Suit and the Jet Pack. When I find a camera I can post pics.

I sure hope they will make thier way up to Decatur or Huntsville.Most either wave wave 1 or have not ordered more of the sets.

[camper]

Still no WM Exclusive DC Classics in the Bham area.....

DC? I saw the Nemesis BAF WM exlcusives, but as that is Marvel, I guess that doesn't help. What are the DC?

[Edhaskel]

DC? I saw the Nemesis BAF WM exlcusives, but as that is Marvel, I guess that doesn't help. What are the DC?

Hey Camp, where'd you see the Marvel exclusives?? The DC are Joker, Batman, Power Girl, Man-Bat

[jestermon]

Springville WM has City Strike Duke/SE/Jungle Ripcord/Artic SS with mask, hid them behind the mole pods, good luck to who gets them.

They are at $5.00 too.

[camper]

Hey Camp, where'd you see the Marvel exclusives?? The DC are Joker, Batman, Power Girl, Man-Bat

Okay, I have not seen those yet. Will look out for them.
The Nemesis wave was at the Gardendale WM. Had all but one guy, do not remember who.

[jestermon]

Attalla,Springville, and Gadsden have the Ice Dagger, Dragonhawk, and Manta sub.

[brock Samson]

I was in leeds for work yesterday and found multiples of wave 4, 5, wave 2 alpha vehicles and battle stations.

[GI C]

Picked up the Past and Present Rockslide from Target today at one Target and at the other Target we have in Huntsville I finally found wave 2 of the Target deluxe sets.They had Wetsiut/jet ski and the air viper with the jet pack on the shelve but I didn't see the Serpent armor so I had a teammate check the back room and sure enough they it was.The Serpent armor brings back to fond memoires of the Snake armor from back in the day.

[Edhaskel]

Big shout out to Camper for hooking me up with a set of DC Universe Wave 10....thanks again man!!

[camper]

All right! Glad you got there in time, Bro!

[GI C]

Anyone need a jean Grey from Marvel Universe?

[jeremywatts]

Mobile now has Walmart Battlestations. I wiped out 4 sets at one Walmart in Schillenger or something like that. Did not find them at the Bel Aire area Walmart but they could be elsewhere. Pallets are moving out to the floor tonight at Walmarts. Mine were located across from the bikes.

[HonestAbeJoeHooah]

Just an idea...

I was going to put this out here ahead of time so everyone can see it. (maybe)

Last year we had a get together for Christmas in North East MS, and 3 tankers were able to attend. It was a really enjoyable time, and we had a lot of fun!

So once again, I am putting the call out for another (tanker) Christmas get together for this year.

Only this time we may be able to do something with North West AL, and South West TN tankers also being involved.

If anyone is interested in doing something like this then pm me, and we can begin to fine tune it.

Thanks! :D

Might be too far for me, Abe, but good on ya.

Mid AL might work though, if any are interested.

[GI C]

Maybe a bit far for me as well.Well,I broke down and bought the Night Raven at Kmart for 26 bucks.Ok.I got to say this plane,although small is very nice looking.Its cool but not $44.99 cool.I bought it to take it out of the box.As for the Pit,I don;t care how much its marked down,I will never get that thing.Not interested.

[HonestAbeJoeHooah]

I would be in for something in AL myself since I have Family over in the B'ham area anyway.

So if y'all get want to get something going, then just LMK when and where!

[jestermon]

Trussville WM also had (3) Night Adders I got 2, (2) Charbroil, (1) Red Fang Ninja, and the Ninja Battles playset.

Wal-Mart in East Gadsden and Trussville both have Soundblaster, Freeway Jazz and Samurai Prowl, I got one Soundblaster from EG WM.

[mav55mdash]

chelsea walmart has complete wave 5 sets, all of the figures. Has any one seen the nano viper or kamakur(not spelled right)

[camper]

I have seen one Nano at a Walgreens before. Never seen Kamakura.
Found a white coat Rex at ALDI. For $4.99. And KM has their Joes for $4.99 too.

[camper]

Saw the playsets at Eastwood WM yesterday. Had plenty.

[camper]

Hoover TrU hd like 6 CS SE yesterday, ad tn ofBenh Prss andSnow Serpents. Have a sale on for 2 for $10.
Be sure to check prices on everything, cos they tried to overcharge me by $6 on a $26 set of Legos.
Have seen a ton of SNAKEs around too.

Happy hunting.

[jestermon]

Target in Trussville had 4 of the then and now Snow vehicle things.

Was practically empty of everything, had those on the old Transformer end cap at the front of the isle.

[jestermon]

East Gadsden had 1 Night Adder, first one I have seen there.

I had to go to Trussville to get my first ones..

[camper]

I do not guess there is anything to seek out for me now. Found more SNAKEs than I wanted or needed, no new figures coming out. Guess I will pick up some sale stuff here and there.

[mav55mdash]

at Found a white coat doctor at walgreens tonight such luck for me.

[camper]

at Found a white coat doctor at walgreens tonight such luck for me.

Nice! I found one for $4.99 at ALDI before Christmas.

[mav55mdash]

Any one seeing anything new out there, some of the figures that are hard to find. I have seen nothing new in a long time.

[camper]

I have not seen anything of note in a while. Trussville WM finally got the Crimson Hydras, but I have no need for another.
Trussville Marshalls has no Joes to speak off.
The only thing out there that I would be interested in is Kamakura and the Polar Battle Bear set at Target.

[crayfish]

I know this isn't Joe related...but if anybody in the Birmingham or Huntsville area finds a Ghostbusters Ecto-1 Hot Wheels car...please pick it up for me. I don't collect Hot Wheels but I did get all of the Batmobiles back in 2005 and definately wanted this one.

I checked the one on Clairmont on the way home yesterday....they didnt have anything but those crappy single carded VvV figures w/o weapons and a couple of beat up DVD packs, so they might not have put anything out yet...

[camper]

I bought a few at Trussville. I checked Inverness and saw plenty but no clear Wraith. Googled TJ Maxx and the map shows one in Eastwood, went there, and it had moved, presumably, to Trussville. So I guess I am out of options.

[GI C]

Con someone hook me up with a clear wraith?I live in north Alabama were we get stuff last.I have a best of the 80's pack that needs a home.

[Brcall]

I checked every TJ Maxx/Ross/Marshall's for 30 miles, and still wasn't able to find a clear Wraith =/. Not to mention I had my brother check the one in Florence. *sigh*

However, wanted to give a heads up that the R.H.I.N.O. is marked down to $34.98, but you'll have to scan it because the beam price still says $50.

Also, Sting Raider/PoC Doc and Shipwreck have all made their appearances in Huntsville

[GI C]

I will concer on that.I picked up the Sting Raider(I know I wasn't going to get but I changed mt mind) as well as Doc and Shipwreck at the Huntsville TRU.

[Brcall]

Night Ravens have gone to $10, and the Pitt is $50 at Walmart in Huntsville. It seems the smaller (non-Super Center) stores are the ones doing the huge mark downs.

Non-Joe related, I found a basic SCX slot car set at the Goodwill store for $5. It was opened, but everything was there. It seems that if there's a Goodwill store near enough to a Target they get the returns that don't resell. Last month I got a Clone Wars A6 Turbo Tank for $25 MISB.

[GI C]

[QUOTE=Brcall;1369186]Night Ravens have gone to $10, and the Pitt is $50 at Walmart in Huntsville. It seems the smaller (non-Super Center) stores are the ones doing the huge mark downs.

Aye, I was there last night, and everything was being marked down 75% off. Nerf Dart Tag set (originally $45) was $15.

[Edhaskel]

Hoover TRU has a bunch of Sting Raiders

[camper]

If Ravens get down to $5-ish, I may get a couple more. I bought 5 Tiger Rats and PP Conquests last year when they got down to $6 at Target.

[GI C]

Anyone in the Huntsville area finding the Now and Then pack for 6 bucks?What about the TIE fighter?

[mav55mdash]

Has any one seen the new doc and shipwreck in the hoover tru

The Shipwrecks and Doc are now sold out at TRU in Huntsville.

They're only 30% off. Give them another 3 weeks.

Desert Viper, City Strike Snake Eyes, Jungle Assault Ripcord have all been spotted en mass at the Walmart on University Dr in Huntsville.

[GI C]

Seen those in Athens.

[Brcall]

Seen those in Athens.

How well stocked is Athen's Star Wars Legacy/Legends figures? We have almost none, and it's almost exclusively Clone Wars. I'm looking for Snowtroopers, and 501st Legion Troopers.

[GI C]

Yeah,I was at the University Walmart on Saturday and they only had Clone Wars.I have only seen the ESB wave a few times myself.Also,remember that the upcoming EU waves is going to be a TRU exclusive according to Hasbro.

TRU doesn't have much either. I have only managed to find three 501st Legion troopers, one Snowtrooper, and one Scout trooper. I've seen zero Hoth Rebel Troopers anywhere. I'm thinking I may end up having to buy them off the internet...

Hoover TrU ain't got jack.
No Docs or Sting Raiders or Shipwrecks. Figure assortment is a third of what it was before Christmas, not much of anything except the exclusive mole pod set.

Is Arcee Animated or movie line or what?

It's the Animated Arcee, but with only 1 TRU I'm not anticipating getting one unless they make a shit ton of them.....if anyone sees one holla! Camp, let me know if you are looking for anything in particular and I'll hit you up. I keep checking TJMaxx for another clear wraith, but so far no one has restocked that I can tell.

Thanks, man. I went by the Hoover Maxx yesterday. All they had was one Bazooka Trooper and a TF Duke.
I loved the TFA series and got all but Grimlock and Lugnut -- only two left that I wanted, but still cannot force myself to get. Oh well. I really do want that Arcee though!
EH, I lost my mobile phone back in Dec, so if you want my new number, send me a pm and I will do the same.

Saw the new MU comic packs at Trussville WM tonight. They look great.

If I see that Arcee here in Huntsville I will let you guys know. Did you guys want the Rodimus Minor or the Cybertron Rachet?

Also, who is this "Ben the dirty, old scalper"? I'm assuming he lives in the B'ham area?

Finally, stopped by Target today, but nothing had been dropped in price. RHINOs are still $24.98, and the Tie Fighter/T&N sets are both $18ish. Looks like another week of waiting.

Ben frequents Huntsville, too. Especially TrU. Older guy, grey/white beard and hair, gut, glasses, general contempt for others. He will go into a toy isle and grab everything and then sort through what he wants or can sell, and call another scalper/hoarder/collector or two and jaw incessantly about what the store has, where he is going next, what he got, what he will sell. A couple years ago, I saw him in the Joe isle at Target and managed to pick up a BAT and a Para-Viper before he could, and he actually looked at me and said, "Give me that, I need it to complete the wave." Told him to screw off, you scalping douche-monkey. He doesn't give a damn about most of the toys he picks up, he just wants to sell them.
There are other guys on this board that know him and can attest to his d-baggery. He bought a set of movie monster figures last year in Huntsville and could not sell them, so he returned them in Hoover. He even creased the card and/or the bubble so other moc collectors could not enjoy it. Such an ass.
Anyway.
I do not know what the Ratchet looks like, but I think I will try to get all three (Arcee, Ratchet, Rodimus).

I assumed there was someone around here doing that, so that explains a lot. Thanks for the heads up. I may try to befriend some people at TRU (I already know people at Target/WM), so I can get the jump on him.

The Ratchet is when he's young. He doesn't have his gut, but instead has a huge chest like Optimus. He also doesn't have the "scar" that Lockdown gave him, so he has both of his eyebrows(?).

Hey guys i wil give you my take on ben george, as some of you may or may not know I was a store manager for kb toys from 96-07 and had plenty of dealings with him. He is everything that you think he is. He was banned from my store and the galleria. I ran in to him last summer at tru while picking up some dcu figs for a friend of mine, he looked at my stack of figs like a sad dog who hasnt had a meal for a year. My favorite thing to do to him is when i see him i will go to the asile next to him pretend to call a friend and say just loud enough for him to hear "I hid the figs in a place no one will find them" then watch him look all over the toy asiles for nothing. It really is a fun thing to do I highly recomend it. People like him a repackers are what sucks about being a collector.

HAha, that's hilarious...someone needs to take a phone picture of this fucker and post it on here so people know who to look out for....we were talking about him over on fwoosh...apparently he doesnt read forums.

Glad to know you feel the same, Chuck. When I read your first sentence I was afraid you were gonna say he was a stand up guy and don't be so hard on him.

He is not a Joe fan, but he picks them up for a couple other guys like Joel. Joel is a nice guy, handed me a Best Of set in late 2008 while in the checkout at WM. But Ben can go to hell for all I care.

Cray can attest to my sentiments.

Has anyone seen the Galactic Heroes Clone Wars Y-wing? I have no Targets or TRU's near me and don't you know it WM stopped having them.

To be honest it's not something that I've been looking for, but I plan on stopping by TRU/Target on Thursday and I'll check for you.

Just got back from TRU/Target, and they didn't have it. The only thing TRU had was the Jedi Starfighter set, and Target had no vehicles at all.

Ah, I never checked that one because it's on the other side of town. I'll try and get over there tomorrow.

[Brcall]

Just checked the Target on the south end of Huntsville, and they had no GH vehicles at all.
