Got one of each today at the Bloomingdale, IL K-Mart on Gary Ave. I almost missed them since a stocker put them with their ends facing out on a bottom shelf. I left the three remaining vehicles (minus a Trouble Bubble set which someone else must have snagged) on the bottom shelf below the Joes. No single packs but there were some Wave 2 and 3 comic packs. The vehicles rang up as $15.99 each but I was hoping that they'd be $14.99. I guess K-Mart likes to set their prices a little above everyone else.
***UPDATE*** I opened the Vamp and I don't know if this has already been reported but Clutch fans can rejoice as his stand says Clutch but the file card and box say Double Clutch. At least those of us who open and display the Vamp will have his *real* name on the stand... :-)

Is there a larger picture? I don't think the cashiers will take this if the fine print is too small. There were none at my KMart. I just cleaned them out of single cards too.

I want to share this so all of you dont waste your time and $$ trying to get these.
So Ive learned how this happened. 3 Kmarts in the upper state were resets locations: Bloomingdale, Des Plaines and Chicago Addison Stores. This vehicles wont hit mass retail until July. So we know one fellow member went to Bloomingdale and got his set but left the others for other fans, hats off to you, congrats on the find and thank you for not being greedy. The other two stores, with 8 at each store...those stores were cleaned out by the same person. That person is a person who posts here. The bad part, is that this person bought ALL of them, then proceeded to put them on ebay for $125 a set!!! - 1 - http://cgi.ebay.com/GI-JOE-25th-Vehi...QQcmdZViewItem 2 - http://cgi.ebay.com/GI-JOE-25th-Vehi...QQcmdZViewItem 3 - http://cgi.ebay.com/GI-JOE-25th-Ann-...QQcmdZViewItem I am personally furious over this. I have helped this person out in the past and I can understand getting a set, Ill even go as far as to understanding a second set on ebay to make back some $$. But to clean out 2 out of 3 stores, hook up no other members who have helped you in the past, and then lie about it...Im sorry those are not the type of people I enjoy having on the boards. To me that is the definition of a scalper.

This really stinks. I haven't posted in a while because I haven't been able to look anywhere-with Wizard World coming up, work has been INSANE!!!
-So, this guy offered them to NO ONE here on the boards? Lame.

Yeah..Lame. Looks like it was FireFly, same guy who posted the in your face $5 off coupon for K-mart. So on top of him snagging 16 of them and scalping them on evilbay for an absurd amount, he had the nerve to use a coupon! Thanks man...Real sport you are.

You should let the poor bastard that buys your auction know that these are NOT in mint condition before someone cuts you up in 4 and ships you in a case!....Sorry couldn't resist.
