Well, I had the best luck today. Reading how alot of you are buying these up(for either yourselves or to help fellow 'Tankers') I thought I was gonna be $#!+ out of luck. All I wanted were two Whirlwinds w/ Range Viper and a RAM w/ Sandstorm. Even though a fellow 'Tanker' texted me this morning that he got me a Whirlwind. I decided to check out Ross since I got out early from work today. 1st I head for the Ross in Glendale, I found and got two RAMs. Next, I hit up the one in Hollywood, and got me my two Whirlwinds. The line for the registers went all the way to the back of the store, but it moved pretty quickly.
The best part of my haul, THEY WERE ALL FREE!!! I got a $40 tip at work so they went for my Ross purchases. |

Congrats on your finds Jinx723 ... I'm hoping to find a Whirlwind w/ Range Viper set too.

Went to EIGHT Rosses today, all during a torrential downpour the likes of which is rarely seen in Los Angeles. The bounty: 4 Cobra Flight Pods with pink Neo Vipers, 2 Ninja Viper/Shockwave WM packs, a RAM desert cycle, and a "Capt. Ace" Glider. Additionally, I got an Attack on the Pit TRU "exclusive" for $12.99, these were at nearly every Ross I visited.
Along the way, I found 2 Cobra Furies that had their Alley Vipers swapped out for Neo Vipers at La Cañada and 2 cancelled wave 3 packs with A-Team figures swapped in at Montebello. For those still looking, here is a run down of what is available where based on my run from 4-9PM today: Glendale - 2 RAM, 2 Capt. Ace Gliders La Cañada - 4 RAM, 4 Gliders Pasadena (Foothill) - NOTHING Pasadena (Lake) - 4 RAM, 4 Gliders, 1 MARS 3-pack Alhambra - 6 RAM, 6 Gliders Montebello - 1 RAM, 1 Glider/1 Whirlwind (with A-Team figures) Pico Rivera - NOTHING Downey - NOTHING, but I did pick up a Metron DC Direct figure there for $4.99. I still haven't gotten a Whirlwind, but maybe I'll find one on the way to Vegas tomorrow. |

Thanks to those of you who left some of the canceled Target Exclusives behind at Ross... hopefully I'll find some.
But seriously, people who buy up every available stock in order to sell at inflated prices and then come here to brag about it shouldn't even be allowed to post here. I thought this thread was for telling people where to find what they need, not to brag about loot. I don't go for the "you're just upset you couldn't find it and have to pay a higher price" excuse... the only reason prices are jacked up is because some people want to make it impossible and try to get a profit instead of us all enjoying the fun that is actually collecting and enjoying Joes. Now if you bought multiples to keep an eye out and share with friends/other Tankers without fleecing them, great. But when I see the same person coming in here over and over to brag about their wares - it's frustrating. At least when we were kids we all had equal chances to find stuff, even the elusive Snake-Eyes... we didn't have to worry about someone snatching them all up to sell on eBay. Scalpers, you guys take the fun out of it. Last edited by KungFuDestro; 12-21-2010 at 07:25 PM.. |

Update: Went out searching... The ROSS in Sherman Oaks had two RAMs and that was it, I picked up one of them and left one behind. The one on Van Nuys Blvd. had no Joes left at all, which might have been a good thing because their line seemed to be a mile long. Hopefully more will be put out, unless fordjuse feels the need to clear out every possible inventory before non-scalpers can get a chance. If anyone sees anything, please post.
Another update: Found the glider w/Capt. Ace at the ROSS in Burbank, it was the only one. Their Joe selection was pretty barren - all I think they had was a beat-up Paris Pursuit Baroness with multiple languages on it, and one or two of the TRU "Attack on the Pit Headquaters" set.

Yeah, I checked a few Ross this morning thinking I could help out some fellow 'Tankers' and they are cleaned out. As for Wave 3-4, I seriously doubt these will be seen on pegs before February '11. |
