So are the DG cases just 6 figures, one of each?

Greenbriar Target has 2 each of wave 1 Snake Eyes and Roadblock out.
WARNING: THERE is 1 Sky Striker on clearance there for $24+ BUT it seems like a repack. Ace is not secured and the box has a lot of stuff rattling inside. Also you can tell someone retaped the side. The Sky Striker I. Saw on Tuesday didn't seem like this, if you've bought a new Sky Striker you know the box and contents are pretty solid when sealed. I get the feeling someone returned this and took stuff out or maybe it's damaged, et al, or maybe this one was messed up and when he/she saw the good one I saw on Tuesday, but on clearance, they exchanged it or returned it for full price and got the good one instead. Yes. So far it seems like stores are only getting 1 case each. The one I went to today was the only one I have seen them at, and they were actually in a toy section with 2-3 aisles/sections. First time I've seen something like that at Dollar General. I can see why these are $6, honestly, each of them could've been the best versions of their respective characters, had all of them had a complete complement of weapons and accessories. |

I encountered the same rude lady at Crater Rd last week. I had to go th Chesapeake today so I hit every store on the way and nothing. I did find some 25th joes at the Biglots in Emporia so I didn't come home empty handed.

I got an employee at the Midlo Target in Town Center to get me 2 RET Cobra Troopers from the back this afternoon.
Also, cross the Midlo DG off of your hunting list. I went in there today, and asked this poindexter looking guy if they had the $6 Joes. His response, "Oh you mean the collector ones everyone wants and keeps asking about. Some guy even came in here and showed me a picture of them." I could tell he had a plan in mind, so I then flat out asked him, "You're going to take them aren't you?" His response, "Well store policy says they have to be on the shelves for 24 hours, but it doesn't say where on the shelves. HAHA. Those babies are going to be mine. HAHA" This is one of those instances where we have hyped the figures too much, and the employees are starting to catch on and getting greedy and seeing dollar signs. Just be cautious please.

On another note..damn, seems there's more Joe fans than I thought up in Richmond! When I was there years back, this comic store you had to go over a bridge to get to, had a loose but complete Tomahawk. Then this place called Stories...or the one off of Broad in the West End, had a Locust XH-1(dragonfly repaint from 2000) for $30-$40 loose I think. Should've bought more when I was there but at the time I wasn't collecting much vintage, mostly buying new, whatever was in store and Sigma 6. |

this happens ALL THE TIME. In fact, if I worked in a dump like that, I would probably do the same thing.

You're probably talking about me. I met "acting store manager" Captain Nerdo the other day. He had "no idea we even sold GI Joes." So I showed him a pic on my phone so he would know what to look for, and he immediately went into a holier-than-thou "I don't discuss merchandise policy with anyone" and "Maybe I'll just have to put 'em on ebay" crap. So I said "Yeah thanks" and left. I don't hype anything, to me they would be fun to find in a store, but are barely worth 6 bucks to begin with. Also, since it seems we're all out running around, I think it's funny that we've probably bumped into each other at some point - I've thought about leaving HISSTANK notes in the toy aisles just to see if anyone notices. I picture that collectors look like either Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons or Big Al from Toy Story. So here are 2 pics of me. Sometimes I look like the Joe freak in the first pic, but usually I'm just a "regular everyday normal guy." Say hello some time! |
