My gut tells me that Cobra Commander and the GI Joe trooper are both running changes since they've been seen in such high quantities.

They lied to you. They can do it. They just don't want to. I have come across a lot of those employees who don't want to go the extra distance. Only at one out of 4 stores is where they actually checked for me. Then it was a different person I asked from the regular one. Unfortunately the nice girl who helped me last time must only be there on weekends.

Some stores that I've called have punched the numbers into the handheld scanner. Other stores claimed only the manager had the power to do so. It really depends upon each store's mentality. The one in Wood Dale seems to have especially misinformed and stubborn employees so I've given up calling or stopping into that store.

Anyone going to the Official Collector's Convention? Has anyone been there before? I'm half tempted to hop a train and go but I'd like to know my odds of actually getting an October Guard set before I waste the time and money. Thoughts? Experiences?

The family and I have been there three times this will be our fourth trip! We love it! And always have fun!! We ordered one of each of the sets! Both my two guys and I like both sizes!

Pretty quiet out there... Must mean the toys are drying up. The other day I found three blue GI Joe troopers (Retaliation) at the TRU in Downer's Grove (near Butterfield and Finley). Left them for someone else since I already have one.

Walmart in Woodstock had Crimson Hiss Tanks on clearance for $13 this morning. The label under them read for the Black Dragon VTOL but I scanned one on a hunch and it came up the same. Get 'em while they're there!
