Well as far as I know, there are several collectors in the GB area. You and myself being 2 of them that are here on hisstank. But I have seen several others rummaging through cases and freshly stocked figures from GI Joe, Transformers, Marvel and mainly SW. Members here? Doubtful, but I'm sure they get their knowledge from somewhere.

I frequent Laurel, Beltsville, Columbia, Ellicott City, Arundel Mills, Rockville and every once in a while Towson, Lutherville and White Marsh.

Blackman, you're probably the most well-traveled MD tanker; what would you say are the most fertile pickin' grounds, and what are the most collector saturated areas?
Also, anyone find any of the new Marvel Legends figs, or the WM droid exclusives? Haven't seen a one.

Other heavy collector spots are definitely the Super-Walmart off of Russett Green Terrace & Rt. 198 in Laurel, MD as well as the Target directly across the street. They recently stopped carrying joes and will not start again until Spring time. No word on if this means Retaliation or 30th anniversary. Places I have the least luck is in Rockville, which isn't only pricey but densely populated with people that just shop. The TRU off of Old Georgetown Rd. & Rockville Pike is always friggin' empty. I wonder if they even have stock boys for the action figure aisle since it looks the same for months on in. The Target is worth a good look but is significantly more expensive than other areas in Maryland. The ROSS there is complete mess and most likely has open/damaged boxes of Joe product because parents don't care if their kids tear the damn store up. The TJ Maxx in the same shopping plaza isn't worth the walk. I live near the ROSS store in Colesville off of Briggs Cheney and its not worth the drive. I've checked this location at least three times a week and they haven't received anything new Joe wise since last Fall. The Target in Beltsville off of Cherry Hill Rd. is also waste of gas since they don't have a toy manager but a person responsible for ordering for three departments that really forgets that some items have been out of stock for months. TRU, Target, TJ Maxx and Walmart in Towson Shopping center is worth a good look. I remember earlier last year I scooped up over $100 worth of Joe goodness in one trip at all three that are in the same walking vicinity. The comic book store off of Joppa Rd. near Glory Days Grill has new MU but are dumb expensive. The ROSS and Kmart on Joppa Rd. and Perring Pkwy don't have much either. White Marsh is further north but rarely has enough new stuff at the Walmart and Target to make it worth your while. As for Marvel Legends, it looks like they are TRU exclusive since Walmart and Target hasn't placed them in stock yet and the street date for these was the beginning of this moth. I think TRU.com has a few in stock at $17.99 each but thats our best bet until the summer when more becomes widely available at a decent price. Even to today I have yet to find a toy/collector shop in MD that has newer Joe/MU/ML stuff in stock. Everything is vintage which isn't bad but I prefer the newer Joes over the old O ring ones.

Use the DCPI and if they have some in the back tell them to bring them out. If you get lucky maybe they won't notice the sale date.
