Today was my birthday, so my brother and I both took the day off of work and went on an ultimate joe hunting adventure. It started at 9am and we had managed to hit 5 stores before the clock even struck 10am. This is where things however got real interesting… In my pursuit to get to the Toys R Us just as it opened I decided to fire up the car and bolt it down a very quiet street. As I juiced the vehicle down the deserted road, I noticed the flashing lights that creeped up behind me. License and Registration he said, and I knew I was fucked. Not only did he have me double the speed limit, but also an expired insurance card, which he didn’t hesitate to give me a ticket for as well. All in all this day really hit rock bottom. 300 dollars in fines and no Joes to show for it after the aggravation of hitting at least ten places. The frustration at this point was at an all time high, but me and my brother agreed lets just hit one more area for stores. This was the big score!!!
Eventually I finally found the entire wave and more at a Wal-Mart. When in the parking lot I saw an individual that I knew to be a scalper from past run ins. Being that he was out of shape and without any physical prowess I managed to get to the aisle before he even got to the doors. They had about 3 of every wave 9 figure; even though I only had the intention of buying one of each, I picked up all of them and walked around the store until I saw the scalper leave at which point I returned the remaining two to the shelf. I hope this enables a avid Joe collector/fan to get there hands on them rather than scumbag looking to turn a quick $10 profit. In any case the end result of my Joe hunt today: -B.A.T.S -Bazooka -Ninja Ku -Snow Serpent -Barbeque -General Hawk -VAMP w/ Clutch -Armadillo + Air chariot w/ Serpentor (Unfortunately) and Steeler -HISS w/ Hiss commander -Ram + Trouble Bubble w/ Tele-viper and Breaker -Torpedo -Snake Eyes v2 -Tiger Force Flint -Snake Eyes v3 -Cobra Trooper Pictures coming soon (Problems uploading them at the moment) Overall, A very good day |

Targets here are pretty empty went to Middletown and Linden and they had almost nothing. Even stopped by a Sears Essentials and Kmart what a waist of time and gas!! Called TRU in Iselin and the lady told me we have 28 on the pegs. Stopped by and all they had was the Officer 3 packs.
Gonna limit my run again. Not worth it. em
