Yesterday I went all over looking for 25th Joes…3 Wal-Mart stores, a Target and TRU and nothing. Today I went to another Wal-Mart in another town just to pick up a few things and decided to go to the toys first…
I was shocked… Not only did they have pegs and pegs FULL of 25th figs…I happened to spot Gung-Ho right out in front… So I picked it up…and behind it…V1 Cobra Commander…behind him Destro…followed by Storm Shadow! I did a bit of digging and found Duke, Roadblock, Scarlett and Cobra Air Trooper. I didn’t pick up Scarlett or the Air Trooper because I’m not really interested in them. After a bit of digging I found a Crimson Guard as well!!! Note, there were only one of each of the new figs and no Snow Job, V2 Destro, V1 Snake Eyes or Flash. At this point my hands were full so I decided to go get a hand basket to carry my haul while I was getting my other items. Once I found the basket I returned to the Joes to make sure I didn’t miss any I wanted (they also has Flint, a few Shipwercks and even a Stalker as well as many others BTW…). At this point there was some scraggly looking dude standing there looking through the figs. I walked up to him and stood there a second waiting for him to finish. I noticed he had the one and only Scarlett in his hand. “So, you a collector?†I asked, trying not to choke on the overwhelming smell of cigarettes emanating from him. “Nope…I sell these things on eBay†He says in a smug tone as if saying “Yeah chump…and I beat you to them…take that.†“looking for the rest of the new figs?†“yep…†“Well *Shake-a Shake-a Shake-a* (I shake my basket at him showing him the contents), I got the rest and even got the only Crimson Gurad…†He scowled at me and walked off still holding his Scarlett… LOL!!! There’s a few figs that moron won’t be able to hack…they’re hanging on my wall! You know, had I beat out another collector I might have felt a little bad but this guy…I got a mild sense of accomplishment from it. (Pic of the loot): |

Nice to see a collector get them. I'm sick of scalpers. I hit three walmarts and a target last night to find only lady jaye, cobra commander hooded and 5 sets galore. Its sad.

only possible way that could have been better is if you said
"wanna buy the rest of wave 4 off me for $100?"
