I thought they were due out in May too, but I was at the OP TRU standing next to a guy on his cellphone asking his friend at Walmart to pick out the figures he was requesting. They also said something about 3-packs being there. I even asked him about it, and he said that the figures were there in Martin City (didn't know that was different from the one on Metcalf, so i really did save myself a trip). This is what he claimed. It was 11:30-ish, so maybe they were snatched up pretty quickly if they really were there.
I'd rather waves 3 and 4 be sold for a while longer myself. Still have yet to lay eyes on a Storm Shadow. edit-I missed the Avengers toys! TRU had moved too much crap around and I was lucky to even find the Joe section.

Well you're in luck...kinda
I did a run with my son today around the south east/west metro. Big Fat nothing. First the Retaliation Joes are not supposed to be out until May I think however I did see the new Avengers toys at TRU in OVP (If anyone is interested) I but went by both the Martin City walmart on 135th and the WM on 135 and Metcalf. (Metcalf does not even carry joes) And Martin city unless it was this morning then there was only a CC, FF and one other. I checked again after I read this. So nothing on that side of KC so I saved many some gas money. No retaliation as of yet but I would rather see wave 3 n 4 before Retaliation anyway. |

Hey guys, I'm looking to part with a big chuck of my old collection. I'm from Kansas City and would like to find a local buyer as I'm too lazy to post millions of pictures and deal with weeks of email/PM haggleing.
If you're looking to buy a huge "lot", check this out, thanks! http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...ures-look.html

Okay, been doing alot of searching locally, can find remnants of cases, 4th wave (I think), Lifeline case assortment. Prior to this when we received cases I could usually find the figures I wanted and there were still figures left for other collectors/kids. With what I am seeing in the stores it appears the Ebay scalpers are out in force. I have seen at least 5 different adults, carrying lists, going through action figures, hot wheels, M2 cars, etc. and being very picky on what they select. I've also found several hidden pieces in the stores. As an X retail person and currently an investigator its way to easy to spot and track these folks. Retailers are getting the products we just have locusts back in force. Happy Hunting

Just saw "The Lorax" movie, great animation, however, what a politically charged movie, what happened to kids movies? Anyway, ran by Target, GI Joes are now $10.99, wow, won't be shoppiing there any longer. I think higher gas prices are starting to show up at retail.

That price is insane. That's almost a pre-order price. In KC I rarely see Joes in Target, mostly just Skystrikers and 12" Joes. Did pick up an awesome Marvel Cable there for much less than $11 though.

I saw that at Target today too. They have got to be kidding us. First you don't have joes in for months then you raise the price $4 more than your competitor. Yeah I won't be going back to target for joes. They were $8.99 on Monday of this week.

Okay, off all this week, took a road trip to go trout fishing, caught alot of fish, had a great time with the family. Amazingly, found 2 of each of the following; zombie viper, airtight, lifeline, law & order and sci-fi. Wow, took three separate Walmart stores to do it, but wow. These stores were out of the urban areas and rural. So, keep hunting. Nothing new in or around town.
