I seriously hope it's not a tanker, but whoever the jackwagon is that's going into the Walgreens in the clay county / orange park area needs to chill the @#$% out. Every single Walgreens I hit on my way home had someone go in and it looks like they just frisbeed the figure up into the air and left it where it landed. How hard is it to look at a figure behind another one on the peg? I thought it was just some bratty kid at the first Walgreens but after seeing 3 more in the same condition I suddenly realize why retailers hate collectors.

God damn! these new figures look even less attractive.
Yo Galactron, Is mouse's head a new sculpt or is it Ace? Cause in the pics ive seen so far he looks like Ace but with a slightly resculpted hairline. I cant really tell. Whats your verdict? I think hes the only fig I want so far. Im gonna pass on the new ninjas cause eff it.

I hit 22 stores today in the greater Tampa area and found nothing. Searched Target, Kmart, Walgreens, CVS, Marshalls and TJMaxx but came home empty handed. I've said it before but I'll say it again, I swear this is the Bermuda Triangle for G.I.JOE!

You know the funniest part about it, we have one of the best collector groups, if not THE best in the entire country. You don't see any other state sightings threads with this much activity or holding regular meets. You would think FL should be a hotbed for Joe collecting given the amount of people in this state that seem to enjoy it compared to others. This is even further evidenced by how much bigger the general admission audience was for JoeCon in Orlando versus other areas its been held. Despite that, it seems we are almost always the last group to get things in stores, if at all.

I was the first person to find Tread Ripper at retail and one of the first people to score the Ninja Combat Cruiser at retail. We sometimes get the short end of the stick. Being in the most Southeastern state does not help. I do agree I think we have one of the best groups of collectors and everyone helps everyone out a great deal. I am sure most of the wave 2 / 3 stuff will show up in the next couple weeks here.

Not true for the most part.

I am sure most of the wave 2 / 3 stuff will show up in the next couple weeks here. It's cool you found those 2 Retaliation items and others here have had rare occurrences of finding stuff early on here as well (myself included) but for the most part, I would say that over the past 6 or 7 years this area has regularly been the last to get product and when we do it's scarce. I agree we will probably have the stuff soon (probably the 10th or 11th) but doesn't that coincide with what was being said in that we seem to always get stuff after most places? |

I live in Tampa Bay and I scored nearly the entire 25th / 30th / POC / Retaliation collection locally and I have not been collecting long.
Right now GI Joe is going through a transition phase with stores bringing back stock after last year's fiasco. As long as Target and TRU get stuff in soon we should be covered.
