Best thing Joe-wise i ever got at a thrift/consignment shop was a '97 Alley Viper. Did see a Defiant + complex shell once.

One of the DAVs in my city has a tackle box with 7 joes in it for $8.98, but they are 90s joes and most of them are broken. there is a dude in the area that buys up all the joes for his flea market booth, so even though i go to thrift stores often I almost never see anything.

The trick with thirft stores is just keep looking
>>>>>>>>> Very true ,people drop off new stuff all time so persistence will pay off in the long run ,i personally haven't seen Gi joe stuff myself but i'm hoping to be at the right place at the right time . I've only stuff i've seen are some old Star wars stuff at a local antique ,i bought a used ESB tauntan for $6.00 (without the saddle)there was a Ferret ATV but the axle was broken so i passed on it . |

I found a PP conquest at good will. In Box, but viper and filecards were removed. It was $5. not bad if ya ask me. Some collector must have wanted the fig when they went on clearance at Target.

In Pennsylvania @ the Goodwill stores, they would receive shipments of Target merchandise. Not sure if they still do...I live in Maryland now. I picked up a few 25th Ann. Optimus Primes for $10 each. The boxes were ripped open, but everything was there. The GW store in Belle Vernon had a 25 cent bin...found some vintage Star Wars and Transformers figures...but nothing else.

Goodwill doesn't generate Goodwill.

I found Eternia, the Defiant, G1 Devastator gift set, Yak Face, and an original Kenner Indiana Jones all mint in package for $1 each at my thrift store... then I woke up late for work. Darn Reality!

Blayze.
Long time no see. Honestly, I did find a Nes and Sega CD at Goodwill.
