Nice score CG101! Glad to see you are happy with it.
I checked out one Marshall's yesterday, I'm checking out two more today. I'll post back here with what I find later on. And if you're interested in the GI Joe vs Cobra game, we need some good soldiers on the Joe side! Check out the link in my sig! (Sorry for the plug, they made me do it!) |

So when did Fry's Electornics start carrying toys?? I was totally baffled when I was leaving the Fry's off 635 as I stumbled upon a row of Toys?? They usually have Remote controlled cars and planes and gliders and crap but they had Revenge of the fallen Txformers, TOns of Indiana Jones stuff+vehciles, and the Resolute 5 packs (no signle carded figures for the joes though) and Tons of CLone Wars crap.
Last place I would have thought to look. I doubt it will be worth while given thier prices are rediculous on most of the stuff. Star Wars figures were 9.99, The 5 packs were 37.99, the Transfomers were 12.99 each., the IJ stuff was only nice priced (at clearence) for 4.99 a figure. Found no useful stuff though cept the IJ Cargo Trucks and stuff but left it all there.

Fry's has had stuff for awhile now. I remember going to the one on Plano Parkway back when the first TF movie was out. Probably way before that too.
I wouldn't buy anything from them, though. As you said, their prices are too high. Almost $40 for 5-packs? PASS.

By the way, Targets in other states have started to clearance out their Joes. No one has seen that around here yet? Still looking for a Tiger Rat and Python Conquest.

Montfort and 635 had stuff marked down 30% this morning. No Tiger Rats or Python Conquests though. They had Rattlers at least, I didn't look harder when I saw that they were all the older jets. They didn't have anymore single pack figs or CPs. Campbell and Coit didn't have anything on clearance yesterday, I wonder if they did it overnight. That store had a few Python Conquests and one Tiger Rat. I still need the latter and the two newer 5 packs.

The target off 635 and Furgeson (out in Garland) yesterday had everything labled as clearanced but every other target accross the metroplex to Fort Worth did not have a damned thing labled or marked down. This Target sucked too, they did not have much of anything at all in any toy line and looked crappy like a Ross LOL. like 2 cobra commanders and 1 Roadblock is all they had figure wise...4 sets of Scarlet+Hawk comic packs and that was it.
I think only frige Taregts and very small/older ones are seeing this cost reduction right now up to the far east. I don't think they have enough joe product left to really warrant it at every location guess. All I really would like to find is one more Cobra 5 pack with the chrome viper but most places i saw those at only had 1 of each of those 5 packs and tons of the resolute ones when they first came out so my chnaces are probabley not so good.

No clearance at Custer and 121 Target. Just like Campbell and Coit, they had tons of Python Conquests but only a few Tiger Rats. What's up with that? I figured the Conquest would be more popular than the Tiger Rat.

I sent someone a PM where to find a Gambit. If you're still looking for a particular figure, tell me and I'll try to remember if there is one in town. I've been busy with personal stuff (and still am), but I figured I would check in. I've done a l o t of customs on the side, but I doubt I'll ever get pics of all of them. Magick has been tormented by pics of a couple. Takes a lot of time to setup a space, click, and then post them properly so I usually just blow it off. ;) Here are some of the first few at the start of the year:
The squad is actually bigger than this now. What do you do with spare Pilot Scarletts and 5-Pack Storm Shadows? Merc with a Mouth, upgraded B.A.A.T. with Custom Bazooka There are also custom Crimson Guard/Red Shadows Destro, an ultimate version of Cobra Commander, an ultimate version of Firefly, Gold Vipers, an improved Viper Mercer with Removable Helmet, my take on a early Future War version of John Connor & Barnes, Mason from The Rock, etc. When you have to take care of someone injured, you find yourself working on little projects often in the down time. Oh, and then there's a new toy for Dr. Mindbender that's still a WIP. If Magick gets a meet together finally, I'll try to bring a few.
