Ok, so I stopped by Big Lots on my way home, and they DID have the PTE stuff. They had some modern tank, the Little Bird helicopter, a big Zodiac Navy Seal boat, a small Zodiac raft, and a ton of small sets. I wasn't feeling that main battle tank, but I'm sure I'll pick up the Unimax one.
Stopped by Kmart too, and it appeared as if they did a reset but I saw no new product other than the new Jodo Kast. Something else that I noticed was there was no shelf space designated for GI Joe. The entire aisle appeared to be set with tags, but nothing with GI Joe on it. Back on topic, street dates are indeed retarded. |

On Saturday I went to the Wal-Mart in Madison and had 3 people check for Jabba. They said that they did indeed have it but there was no way they could find it until they reset because everything is a mess.

Btw, I had to run to the store to get the wife some ice cream, and I ran by the toy section of the University Walmart. They rest the toy department, but haven't put all the product on the pegs yet. However, I saw NO GI Joe tags. I even looked at the modular layout sheets taped to the peg boards, and there weren't any slots with anything GI Joe related. I am one sad panda. =*( |

I didn't notice any scorpion packs, but I could have sworn I saw it at TRU. I plan on being there on truck day, so I can check then.

You have something I envy: Much room for expansion! I'll have to stop by Big Lots on the way to work tomorrow. No Jabba at Ann St. Wal-Mart. They did reset the toy aisle...sort of. No POC, just $10 ROC pegwarmers and about ten Mole Pods. Oh, and I think our Big Lots still has those scorpion sets. I'll check.

sweet man appreciate it, let me know
and anyone needing anything? Regilan Viral you still wanting that stuff? and who wanted the CC, I got one and snow job unopened I got in my set i ordered was gonna ebay them but if needed let me know. I have way to much crap (WAY TO MUCH LOL THOSE PICS FROM WAY BACK HAVE MULTIPLIED) I so need to get other things (hard shell for car, more work equipment, a few more games, another flat screen lol...sigh) Yeah bro, I still want that stuff. I'll also take that SJ off your hands if no one else wants it as I was wanting one. Let me know if there's anything else besides what's on your BST list because I'm pretty sure I don't got jack from it. We'll have to set up a day that a bunch of us can meet up in Huntsville or something. On a side note. Does anyone have the actual store number {not phone number} and Store manager name for the TRU in B'ham? I called yesterday evening and talked to a very nice young lady there and she went and got a case of POC Joes and even named off some of the ones I wanted. I asked her if there was any way she could hold them for me as I live 1/12 hours away. She said she'd gladly hold them for me up to 2 hours. I told her what I look like and would wearing and she said ok, I'll set them aside for you. I got there and spoke to a guy at the front and asked if I could get the joes that were being held for me. He informed me that NO and it is against company policy to 'hold' items for ANYONE. needless to say I was very upset then and asked why would someone tell me they could AND the fact I drove 1 1/2 hours to be let down and he said sorry sir it's against policy. Well I decided in upset mood that I'd try and calm a bit and I looked in the aisle with the joes and the girl came up to me and was very nice but was opologising like her job depended on it. She told me that the guy I talked to upfront had sold them to our 'friend' Daniel and he held them off the floor for him until he came and picked them up. She said this happens too often there and they get alot of complaints from customers about Daniel and the items being held back for him. This will be the 3rd time I have lost out because of items being held for him and I'm sick of it. I'm sure that what they are making off of his sales is nothing compared to what they are losing when people like me cannot find the items they are supposed to have. I usually try to pick up most if not all of what I'm looking for from 1 place if possible. I've passed on items at stores just because I could get them plus others I was looking for from another store. I know I'm not the only one this is affecting. I know of some on here and I'm sure Parents/Grandparents and even kids don't buy things there because of the newest stuff being held back/sold off to scaplers. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE! |
