hi all, im new to the boards, and im in maryland too. im a huge gi joe fan. its my favorite cartoon of all times. i always wished that i could get some of these figures mint in thier packages. but they were always too expensive to buy the originals. im a little late in finding out about these new releases. but i walked into a target and was shocked at the original artwork on the packages and the quality of the new modern figures. im now starting to collect them as well. i did get a tiger rat and a red conquest already. but im currently looking for a rattler or a conquest in maryland. did anyone spot anymore of these? i only see the new jets but no old ones anywhere. i did go to the target in rockville and notice that every SINGLE carded figure in bent. i did need a few of those figures but im not taking a crease one. since im a collector and will not open the packages. theres no way they could have came that way. i wonder what kind of person would bend all the figures. i would love to find out who did this. im going to check another target next week and hope for better luck there. i did manage to find a blue target hiss tank with a blue hisstank driver inside of the box instead of the cobra guard. does anyone know what that is? is it a new variant or a normal release? sorry for the long post. thanks for any info. im super excited about this new line.

germantown target is full of wave 11, 12 and 13 left overs. i actually found blowtorch however my son was with me so he naturally claimed him so i'm back to looking for blowtorch for myself. my son wanted the resolute trooper so i got him that and the firefly which i'd like to find another as well.
they had 4 joe conquests and several cases of the new jets.

I've found three resolute cobrs troopers this weekend at Target and Walmart in Columbia and Towson. I can't stop army building these guys, they're awesome. Right now I have ten including the two from the resolute five pack. I also picked up the X-Men Origins Wolverine vs. Sabretooth pack for $20 from TRU in Columbia yesterday...

Found a Blue Rattler at Target in Hunt Valley, MD today for $24.99. It was under the end cap display for the new TF and PP jets...

i'm sure they will pop up from time to time as stores find them stashed and lost in the back.
i'm even more surprised that they stocked the new jets in such high numbers compared to the old jets. i'm in va for the weekend so no md hunting for me. i did find and buy 2 eels in va today so please let me know if anyone wants to trade resolute bats for moc eels.

I found the new Jets at the Bel Air Target. The box-art is much better than the originals. I think it looks more like the 1980s and probably saves on packaging (plastic bubble).
Alas, I think I am caught up on most of the figures. Some I have seen only one time like the Ninja Viper or rarely like the Cobra Diver. I'm seriously glad this line is taking a long break. I won't be buying anything from the movie line except maybe a Cover Girl because the sculpt is awesome. My wallet needs a break. |

i've seen many cobra divers in the last couple weeks. atleast 5 at the fredrick tru in one weekend.
germantown target has had many restocks of the wave with the viper ninja although i'm not sure why it's popular? i too am glad to have a break. it gives me a chance to focus on custom vehicles with my kids. it's going to take a long time to get resolute bats individually as well.
