That's good news about the Walmarts. The three in my regular flight path (Oneonta, Herkimer, New Hartford) haven't restocked in months. Dont know if they're even carrying Joes anymore.

I happened to be in Clifton Park, so I stopped at the WM on Rt. 9. There was nada, zlich, zippo, nothing Joe-related to be found.
Oh, and the THOR figures really do nothing for me.

I think they had a couple of pegs of Corps figures ... because I figured that the Joes would be in that section and surprised that they weren't. Not a big Corps collector, so no clue as to what figures that they might have had.
For the record, I replaced O-rings for the first time this weekend. I almost (note almost) wept at the difference. I even called my father (who is in his 80's) and told him what I was doing. See, back in the day, my father tried fixing some of my Joes with small rubber bands that we would find. Neither of us were on the ball to think of using an actual washer. His response? "Are you trying to make me feel bad for using rubber bands?" I had to tell him that just the attempt that he made to fix them was enough to make me happy.

I have often thought about getting the other military lines and incorporating them... but I spend enough as it is.

Please do Ben. I might be able to convince the girlfriend to take a little summer weekend excursion. How were the prices?
