Yaknow, I bought I few things from Vintage Stock a couple years ago (for example I bought I Hiss tank v1 for 10 bucks about 3 years ago) but I haven't been over there in a very, very long time.
Speaking of Vintage Stock, back in 2003 I fell upon hard times and I decided to sell my complete, mint Gi Joe General. So I went to Vintage Stock (then known as Caveman Comics) and they offered me 20 bucks. I figured I'd at least get what I originally bought it for in 1990, which was 50 bucks, but nope. I'll never try to sell anything to those guys again. Hey Viper, hit me with a pm and let me know what 80's/early 90's figs you've got to sell/trade and I'll let you know. The cool thing is....shipping won't be an issue! lol

Yeah that was weird finding the Target vehicles by the checkout lanes before they were supposed to be out, but I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth. The Vintage Stocks are good for figures but they rarely have any vehicles I want and I've seen them use eBay to price their stuff.

Hey ya'll. Name's Amy. I'm Belleville, IL, but I work in St. Louis so I'm always over on the Missouri side of the Mississippi. I thought join up with you guys since some of you are in the St. Louis area.

Welcome, Amy. From my observation there seems to be at least one of near every metropolitan area in the state. Kansas City, St. Louis, Springfield and even Columbia (me).
Lately I haven't seen very much. I know the Toys'r'us in St. Peters has been getting the five-packs and the three-packs. The last time I was there I only saw the Cobra Officer three-pack and the Snake Eyes vs. Red Ninjas five-pack. Also, at the Target in my city, the exclusive vehicles will be set soon. The same should be true for most every Target. Anything good in your area? |

Oh you're in Columbia Khambat? That's my hometown and I usually go back there during the summers. We should help each other out in finding stuff over the summer. I live near the mall so I've got two Wal-Marts, Target, and TRU nearby so it's no problem to hunt for stuff on my end.

Thanks for the welcome khambat7. Things are good. I'm around 3 TRUs that are easy for me to hit as well as 4 Targets and few Wal-Marts.
The TRUs are rotating the 3-packs. It looks like they are breaking up shipment and only sending two out three to each store. I had to go to two different ones to get all three and that seems to be consistant with the other ones I've been too. The five packs are all of them though, but I have yet to see the Greenshirts. The Target next to my work put the HISS, AWE, and Night Specter out last week and I got mine then. I plan to check the ones by my home tonight. They should be on the shelves now. Wal-mart...eh...slim pickings whenever I'm in. CC continues to hang on the pegs most of the time I'm there. If anyone wants me to grab them, let me know, and I'll ship them out.
