Cool, thanks Magick. I've read reports that people are picking up all 3 IJ vehicles at Target at 75% off ($4.98), including the Cloth-Top! I saw a Troop Car at a Target (can't remember which one though) at 30% off a couple of weeks ago. I'd go back and check if I ever remember which one it was.

Hey Magick, Do you still want Dusty and the Hydrofoil? I know you are on here less due to 'puter issues, but this is my only way of reaching you right now.

Okay so I got my Resolute Comic Packs Today. I ordered them from the GI Joe Club on Sunday and I got them today. I got tired of hunting for them. In fact, I have decided to follow Crimson's advice and start ordering.

OK, I found some wave 12. Still need the Ninja Viper and Resolute comic packs tho.
I was at Target on Park and the tollway yesterday to get my wave 12. I picked up 2 UBPs for 27.48 each. Left 3 behind (2 in aisle on the lower shelf and 1 in the next aisle over on the top shelf. Hey Aire, I tried calling you but your home number gave me a fax machine tone. They had a VAMP and RAM/Air Chariot Vehicles and I can confirm Clutch had the Fixed arms. I think Breaker may have fixed arms as well. Not sure if you still needed these. Nirvana, LMK what FFF BAF parts you need. I have a few. Also stopped at TRU in Frisco. That place sucked royally across the board. They restocked nothing and as usual, they have 2005s toys on clearance for 10% off of TRU retail prices. This is why they struggle. They refuse to move old inventory.

2005s?
I haven't found the UBPs for that low yet. One of the Targets that I went to yesterday had them for $38. The other store didn't even have any.

I am kidding. But TRU does have old stuff on clearance that Target and Wal-Mart cleared out months ago.

For example, we've been sitting on the same GI Joe singles since the store opened back in October. And because we've had that old crap no one wants, it has kept us from getting newer stuff in that people DO want. Wave 5 Comic packs is all we've had too since the store opened.

That is what causes the big issue here. They just can not stock to our needs and desires. There is only what 15 of us really that partipcate on this board and then who knows how many others but in a city of millions they have no clue! LOL
Sad thing is they let enough of this stuff pass by without ordering new product then there will be a lot of missing waves. I lost out on a lot of Episode 1-3 figs because I tried to stick to what i would find in the field. With the Joes I will not miss any (well except 25th foiled flint but I don;t really need him due to the release and the clear wraith) and have really grown tired of seeing nothing on the shelves which has curbed my store visits tremendously. It is much eaiser now to have it delivered to the house. It sure as hell beats driving to Austin...what the hell was I thinking! LOL I could have kept my 3 pre-orders of wave 10 with BBTS and maybe have gotten a clear wraith :( wrong move on my part. Only reason I want a clear one now is the one cusotm the guy did with blending a regular with the clear one looks so cool, I wanna do that! But not for $100s of doallrs...which if i did not spend that in stupid gas money back when and stuck to my order....I could have most likley done one now :( But given we are on to waves 12 and 13 the end of last years stuff and the new waves have not started yet, those wants are now squashed. I blame Snow Job for not tackling the issue locally and prompting his TRU managment to cater to the collector segment of DFW. If we all shopped at your store on special weekened visits for the DFW collectors, think of his net profits! All he needs to do is order enough of each wave for each of us, we come in with our credit cards and BOOM his registers for that day go through the roof! and then he can just stop stocking peg warmers and end up not loosing money! Ok back to work and no more dreaming for me.... |

Seconded!!! Back to the dream about a collectors corner at TRU. Heck, even if they made us buy one peg warmer to every three figs we wanted. We would still come out ahead on shipping and the gas we spend running around. Alas, but for an imperfect world...
I did learn something in my driving around experiences. If you see something... buy something. I only ever saw one croc master in the field. I passed. One Torpedo, I passed (Thanks Strider again for the hookup). One set of Resolute troopers...I passed. I bought them all online for a samll markup and shipping (Geez shipping can be expensive). Now if I see something I do not have I pick it up. I saw some releases at the Love Field Target today. Everyboody from the 25th five pack I picked them up as openers. I have really got the bug bad now. I am on my way to amassing all the vehicles now. I found a great package deal on the Target exclusives on the bay the other day. I bought the fang claw from Target online and when they arrive I am done til wave 14 which I intend to buy from the Joe club or HTS. |
