First I want to thank Antonio over at TRU for being a super cool guy. He has my nomination for employee of the month for bringing the cases of Joes to the floor. I got the figures I needed and left some for the rest of the Manassas collectors. If anyone has extras of the DG Joes, please PM me. I have extra Joe trooper and Cobra trooper and a Red Ninja to trade.

So you snagged 'em :-) I'm here now and there's nary a Cobra Commander or Red Ninja to be found.

As of about 10:00-11:00 AM today:
Bailey's Crossroads Target: One Roadblock sitting on the peg, and one 3-pack. Bailey's TRU: Motorcycles and large figures only. Rt. 50 Target: Full release. Picked up 2 Joe Troopers and 2 Cobra Troopers. Red Ninjas, Zartans, and Cobra Commanders already gone when I got there. Also picked up a HISS tank. As of about Noon: Potomac Yards Target: Nada. As of 3:00 - 4:00 PM: Woodbridge Target: Nothing, nada, zippo. But this is the Target that seems to lag behind every single street date. Woodbridge TRU: Motorcycles only.

Walmart at Manassas Mall has space for them but nothing out as of 5:30 today. Target at that mall doesn't even have peg space. Might try the Liberia Walmart later tonight. It was a madhouse when I passed by a few minutes ago.
I'm looking for 2 each of Cobra Commander (both blue and black), Red Ninja, and the Joe Trooper. Also looking for a Fang Boat and HISS. Keep your stick on the ice out there, fellas. |

That's cool. I totally understand. The local Walmarts will provide another shot. I'm a pretty patient guy :-)

I just had a really fun experience as a collector thanks to Shin (see his post 3389 previous page).
Following up on his tip I stopped by Lynnhaven TRU and picked up the 3 packs. They had already been hit pretty hard on the singles. I decided to stop by N. Mil TRU as well. They had nothing out so I inquired customer service where I met a nice guy named Scott. He confirmed the memo and said they'd just been too busy to put them out. His solution was he and another really nice employee brought out boxes on a mover's dolly, opened them and let me go through them! I'm no hoarder, I just picked up three I was looking for. I would like to get some 2 more Red Ninjas and Joe Troopers but I can wait. Didn't want to put them out even more and ask them to pull additional boxes from the back. Perhaps most importankly to some local tankers they had a leftover 30th/Renegades box they opened. No SS, but Lifeline, Sci-Fi, Techno Vipers, Law and Order, Zombie Vipers and the rest - all case fresh and sitting at S.Mil TRU if that helps anyone. Anyway, thanks again Shin!
