Illinois G.I. Joe Sightings

The Target on Route 34 Oswego is undergoing renovation for the addition of a grocery section, so the store is a bit mixed up. The toy aisle was moved inside the area separating the girls and boys clothes. It looks like they haven't restocked in a while, and the cramped aisles have little of interest. 2 Star Wars, a few Transformers, no Joes and some various common Iron Man 2 figures. I'm not sure what their plans are for the toys, but I would stay away for now.

The Wal-Mart down the street was not much better. No signs of POC, so I fear they might be saying goodbye to Joes considering how many Cover Girls they had. Everything else was standard, except it seems like they had an abundance of Toy Story 3 stuff.

The K-Mart on Douglass Road in Montgomery had 0 POC, but the ROC selection they had was a little different than the average Wal-Mart. The same goes for the Transformers and Iron Man/Marvel stuff.

The stores in my area are really starting to suck. The one store that had POC was pretty much wiped out.

Yep I could have told you that.
That Walmart regularly sucks too. Did you see that they had just as many Baronesses & Scarletts too?

Yea, it seems every store has to have at least one Baroness and one Neo Viper.

Anyway, The Wal-Mart on Orchard Road in Montgomery did a switheroo with thier toy aisle, and put some new product out. There was some cool Transformers and Star Wars, but no Joes. I looked at the pallets but the only thing the had were Zhu Zhu Pets.

I figured it was going to be another loss, but...

The Target off of Route 34 in Yorkville HAD POC! The only had three figures, one Duke, one Snow Job and one Storm Shadow. I took the Duke and Snow Job. That makes Storm Shadow the only figure I've seen left on the pegs. Niether store had any new Iron Man 2 product, though.

I'm going to wait for a sale to purchase the Joe Mech suit since I have the Sigma Six version and modified the seat to hit the 25th scale figures. They look better than I thought based on the pictures but I'm saying that about a lot of PoC...

I dislike any mech in Joe so I'm biased.
They are $19.99 at Target.

I bought them both and think they're great! As a bonus, my boys both love them as well. Great playability and durability. The Joe one is actually a lot cooler than the Cobra one, IMO. These are both a lot better than that new HISS.

flash70 · 08-11-2010, 09:42 PM

Yeah I broke down and bought them today...they are great just gonna fix some of the arms.
