PLEASE HELP!!! IM Frustrated!!!!

Hey there fellow Hiss Tankers! Hey, I'm from Auburn, WA. I'm looking for the latest Renegades: Storm Shadow, Sci-Fi, Lifeline, AirTight, Law & Order, and Zombie Viper. I have been in so many stores! 2 weeks before Christmas and I have kept going in stores up to now almost every day. They still only have the same old Renegade JOEs. They don't have any of the new ones!!! Whenever I ask, they act stupid as if they don't know anything. I've even been to every Wall-Mart, Target, and Fred Meyer from my surrounding cities: Covington, Kent, Auburn to Federal Way!
Where can I get them and when? When are the stores going to get them??? Please HELP!!!
Please PM me!

they're acting stupid when you ask because they are stupid to the information of "where are these joes". I'm in the same pickle as you are here in Kansas City, just scouted 4 differnet wally worls in 3 different counties..... nada. I hope we get some late shipments but I am about to turn to the interwebs for a case

Order them online and stop your suffering don't do it and continue to suffer and be frustrated!

Haven't seen these in Springfield, MO area yet either...and we have 9 Walmart stores within 15 miles from my house plus a Toys R Us and a Target...of course...of the 9 Walmart stores only 3 even carry GI Joes and only 2 of those carry vehicles as well...our Toys R Us is worse about restocking their shelves than Walmart if you can believe that, and Target gets cleaned out of anything new if you don't camp there (I actually had to punch a dude in his stupid-ass face for trying to snatch the last Target Exclusive Rattler out of my hands...dick)

...I never saw any PoC stuff after Wave 4 came out...and we only got like two cases of Wave 2 Poc in the whole area...all our shelves have currently are Renegades Firefly, Renegades Snake Eyes, and Poc Arctic Destro

Check Walgreens

I had this same experience weeks before christmas. The"department lead" of toys in my local Walmart told me that the new GI Joe wave wouldn't be ordered until all the older wave was sold down. "It's just how the system works". Three days later the new wave was there with the older wave still on the pegs. The reasopn they act as if they don't know anything is because they don't know anything. Usually there is a target number the inventory system needs to reach to auto order new product. Provided the inventory numbers are accurate and walmart has the product, they will get them.
If you use the internet to get your fix, it will lack the thrill of the hunt but it will also save you the misery of lazy retail stores.

I ordered online and they arrived at my door, with shipping it only cost $7 per figure. I don't understand people who'll drive all over the place looking for stuff they can have delivered for the same price. I didn't have to tip the delivery guy, if that's what you're worried about.

This can be a frustrating hobby if you spend that much time tracking down hard to get figures at brick and mortar stores.

In a perfect world, retail establishments would cater to every particularity of the so called "collector". Unfortunately, reality doesn't reflect that. These are just toys and nobody really gives a shit. Retail would need an exclusive "toy team" to even begin to manage and control the demand of collectors which will never happen. But there are others that do...................

DO YOURSELF a favor and explore one of the sites sponsors to the right. I support online toy shops that create a system and inventory to get EVERYTHING I'm looking for. Factor in gas costs and more importantly time, the only sane decision is to go online. I have converted almost exclusively to this route and haven't looked back.

In a way its sort of our revenge back at retail for their poor practice in not giving us everything we want, when we want it, dammitt!!!

I am slowing coming to terms with the fact that I will probably never get a Renegades Stormy or 30th Lifeline and Sci-fi... sucks... but thems the breaks I guess. Life goes on...
