Sorry about the delay on posting but only had time to get to the forums today. This Monday I saw a heck of a bunch of super cheap priced 25th anniversary G.I. Joe & some Resolute toys at the Lake Forest Goodwill store.
Most of the items were in great condition, singles (even have the recent Resolute line). 2-packs, and vehicles. These may have been the items that Target sends to GW when they're clearing out stock, but as you can see from my photos, a lot of the items are recent releases. Most of the items are 50% off or more. So check your local GW stores. Here were the items I saw and the pricing. I picked up the Cobra Paratrooper and the Black Ninjiku to repaint. If I wasn't getting rid of my current toy collection I would have bought them all! Singles ($2.99 each): Wild Bill, Cobra HISS driver, Cobra Viper, Snake Eyes (all 4 versions released), Duke, Major Bludd, Roadblock, Cobra Python Officer, Flint (3 styles), Cobra Commander, Hawk, Bazooka, Barbecue, Snow Serpent, Cobra BAT, Cobra Patratrooper, Baroness, Cobra nijiku and ninjas, Mutt & Junkyard, Croc Master, Wraith, Torch, Ripper, Scarlett (in blue outfit). Resolute Duke & Cobra Commander. 2-pack ($3.99): DESTRO and CPL. BREAKER, DREADNOK TORCH and DREADNOK RIPPER, COPPERHEAD and SHIPWRECK, DUKE and RED STAR, FIREFLY and STORM SHADOW, Cobra Commander Vs. Tripwire, Destro & Iron Grenadier, Beachhead & Dataframe, Snake Eyes & Hard Master, Lt. Falcon Vs.Nemesis Immortal, Destro & Breaker, Rock N Roll & Deep Six Battle Packs ($5.99): Series 01: Weather Dominator Battle Pack: Roadblack, Destro, Lady Jaye Vehicles ($5.99): Ram Vs. Trouble Bubble Vamp With Clutch AWE Striker Photos: GW-GI-Joes-3-7-09.jpg (image)

The TRU in Burbank had a lot of Wave 11/12 stuff - Cobra Diver, Red-Mask Cobra, Python CC, Ripper, and even a blue Cobra Ninja. The top pegwarmer they had was Tripwire; they had a ton of them. Why they didn't just make a Tiger Force Tripwire or something, I don't know. They also had several of the Resolute 5-packs as well as the new G.I. Joe & Cobra 5-packs.
STILL no luck at finding Gung-Ho & Fred or the Best of 80's set. Wish they'd have released those rather than the same old stuff that we see everywhere. |
