Arch- I'm going out tomorrow- if I head by K-mart in Fredneck (as the locals call it, I'm told), I'll pick one up for you. I'll let you know when I get in tomorrow

Crap! I found one at the Marshalls in Columbia, but it's pending in a trade - I didn't know you needed one. If that falls through, I'll let you know.

why is it that when a new toy line comes out? its always starts in the west coast first. then slowly moves towards the east coast a few months later. i finally found baroness and destro today at target. it took them long enough to get here in maryland. they had plenty of each. around 5 of each figure. but no helix anywhere.

Because all the toys are made in Asia.... which is closer to the West Coast shipping facilities

I just came back from TRU (Annapolis) the 2 @ 9.99 sale is on. Here is a quick heads up as to what is on the shelf in nap town.
Destro (many) Snake Eyes (many) Storm Shadow (many) Neo Viper (many) Breaker (many) Heavy Duty (many) Baroness (many) Zartan (a few) Duke (a few) I picked up Deep Six and Sgt Stone but they only had one of each. They have at least 3 of each vehicle and they're on sale for $13.99. Unless you are looking for these particular figures or they restock (unlikely) not much to get excited over.

I'll wait until September for a re-stock and bargain sale. I see the hype for RoC toys will die down quickly after the movie hits theaters just like the other movie toylines did this year. Have you realized that Transformers ($11.88 +), Terminator (now on clearance), Wolverine (still $7.99, wtf?) and Star Trek (now on clearance) are warming the shelves at Target, Wal-Mart and TRU. Maybe it's because they're overpriced and we're in a recession?
I wonder why is it so hard for retailers to set lower prices for toys as an initiative for more people to buy? Hasbro ships out to retailers who set these ridiculous prices that most people can't afford. Kids these days are Ipod, Itunes, video games junkies so action figures are literally declining in sales. Action Figures are truly becoming novelty items for us 23 year old and up collectors... Last edited by blackman2005; 07-19-2009 at 02:56 PM.. |

my youngest had some b-day gift cards so we went to tru today. i showed him all the ROC stuff and he asked, where are the other ones? he did not want any of the ROC stuff. he went immediately to the joe aisle looking for the 25th/modern stuff.
we ended up leaving without any joes. he bought a wii game. i did see a couple ROC barbeques which was a first for me. the rest were picked through pretty well.

I feel Accelerator Suit Duke will be on TJMaxx shelves for half price by the end of the Fall...
I mean I love G.I Joes especially for the vehicles/playsets/vipers galore!!! I just wish Hasbro would re-invent the wheel from the 80's by giving collectors a vast choice of figures, vehicles and playsets to choose from. I remember when I was 5, Woolworth and Toys R' Us were stacked with every figure that I wanted. Now I have to go on scavenger hunts around MD just to find three to four figures I really want. So annoying... |

I was told by an FYE employee at Arundel Mills that they will be getting the Cobra Island 7 packs sometime in the future....
