i went to target last night to pick up non joe related items and thought i would just check the aisle to see if they had anything. knowing they don't stock the store until wednesday, i didn't have any expectations. sure enough, there was nothing there but a few of wave 3. i went back there today on my way to work and found the new stock. there were 3 cobra officers and 3 cobra troops on the shelf. though i was looking for cg's, i did snag them.
why were these here? they were newly stocked and they were the only new figures there. is hasbro sending out cases of army builders? they were in perfect shape and did not look like returns. can anyone explain this find? |
