tired of searching for 25th figs? try valor vs venom!!

all these trips me n my buddy make, we keep coming up empty handed for him, since i finally got all mine ( thanks ebay ) weve found a new hunt today.

valor vs venom

my local dollar general for some reason just got these in, and for 2 bucks each, you cant beat it! we hunted 3 different stores in a mile 5 radius and scored 10 different figures, they arent as great as the 25th figs, but some of them look pretty damn cool. just a thought to hold over your empty handed blues........

btw im in pittsburgh, pa.........

I might try it but I don't know how far my plastic addiction would take me. After all, I bought my first 25th fig on a lark and now my desk is a war zone.

But any recommended figures?

You can try Big Lots for the 2-packs at $6 each. If I didn't have all the Valor vs. Venom figures I wanted I would buy a few more Tele-Vipers and Sand-Vipers.

Also I saw the Valor vs. Venom 2-pack with Heavy Duty and Razorclaw at a Wal-Mart shortly after Christmas. I found that to be very odd.

McKee, believe it or not, Dollar Stores (ie - Dollar General, Family Dollar, etc), have had the $2 single cards for...wow, come to think of it, at least 2-3 years.

There's quite a few, including a few really nice repaints of:

Sand Viper (black/gold/red)
Alley Viper II (red/black/gray)
Tele Viper (blue/purple/orange)

They all come with pretty much the same weapon, lol.


Come to think of it, there were/are at least 15 different figures. If you keep hunting, you might also find repacked vehicles, such as the:

Skysweeper Jet
Cobra Motorcycle/Sidecar (forget the name)
Cobra Ring-something (again, forget the name)
Both Joe/Cobra Mechs
Joe Battle Blitz (green, not tan)


Either way, there's still a lot to be discovered, McKee. Happy hunting!

Just for kicks after reading this thread at lunch, I went to the dollar general and family dollar in my VERY small town. We don't even have a WM, Target, or anything of the sort. From the two dollar stores, I came away with SE, Kamakura, Ace, Dusty, 4 x Tele-viper, & 5 x Sand Viper. They had lots of SS, Baroness, blue Night Creepers too.

I too greatly enjoyed the thrill of finding Joes on the pegs, even if they were 3 years old. Like someone said, how can you go wrong with $2 Joes?!?! I don't know why I needed even more Televipers, but at $2 it's hard to leave them behind....

Great now I got to check Big Lots this month. I found the ones at Family Dollar and Dollar General in Baton Rouge months ago. But was dissappointed all I could find was the Valor Vs Venom ones mentioned. I loaded up on Tele Vipers, Night Creepers and of course Sand Vipers. At the tune of 20 a piece. Also I found 4 spytroops these were SE, Zartan, Duke and Dr Mindbender. In addition I found two two packs of Valor joes one Overkill Vs Duke and Slice and Slash. But that is all I've been able to find. I have to literally drive all over to find one two pack. Any more I figure if I have to go to more than a couple of stores it cheaper to Ebay them because of gas and time.

I went by my Big Lots and they just had one single Duke and Cobra Commander for $6. I bought it but Duke holding up a nunchaku, just doesn't seem right.
