Anyone else get these?I listed some,anyone have other symptoms to add to the list?
-When I'm at a store and I see some guy in their 20's - 30's making a beeline to the toy dept. I try to outrun them -When I'm at a Super Walmart I wish I had those skate shoes that kids wear so I can glide my way to the toy dept. instead of taking the 3 mile hike -From clenching my fist so many times from the stress of not finding Joes I'm starting to develop a Kung Fu Grip more fierce than Chuck Norris' |

My addiction for these impressive pieces of plastic is starting to really sink in BAD!!! I went to Target the other day and saw some Wave 9 Figures and I pushed my friend out of the way so I could get there first!! If there had been a kid there, it coulda got a smidge wreckless!! I need 3 Figures to complete wave 9 so the hunt is on ... SO WATCH OUT!!!

I come to Poughkeepsie area quite often to visit friends.. Let me know if you want to get in on a trader/collector network. I'll hunt CT, you take NY. |

lol funny that you made this thread I was just thinking about the subject. here are the symptoms I had:
-You suspect everyone leaving the store with a bag had just cleaned out all the joes. -You think everyone that stares at the joes your holding in your hand is a collector and you're going to get jumped and robbed of your joes(not your wallet). -Lunch time isn't for eating anymore, it's time to hunt for joes -You buy household items(or other toys) on sale just to make up for lack of not finding any joes. |

Sadly I have done this....I see someone who I think is a collector and I make a b-line straight to the toy department! And yes I do win!

Your credit card breaks down and cries every time you pull it out.

you think of the most direct route and contemplate setting up booty traps to stop others from getting to the toy aisle before you do ;)

Bad for my health? How about the pains I get in my chest at the frustration of seeing the latest wave is "sold out" by the time I get to 'SmallJoes' yet again, even though I check their store every time I log on.
What? You think I'm joking?

- You start to have insta-rage when you see one or two repacks from a new wave on the pegs
- You speed in and out of traffic (Even in a monsoon) to get to the next open store because of said repacks you found at the first store (That's how I got wave 9 ) - You spend more money on your toys instead of little insignificant items like food |
