Dang man. I need like ten more of those eels. Wish I could have only been so lucky. Last time I saw your find I went to big lots the next day. Nothing :(

Nice haul! If you didn't play the lotto after the last one, you should this time.

Awesome. I remember that sweet moment in time when I could go to BL and pick up some cheap fodder for customs. I still have an ammo can full of parts. I hope we live to see another future time when Joes are nearly as abundant.

Back in the states for a spell and when I cross paths with a Ross and Dollar General I get itchy palms...

So, you guys are going to think I'm completely full of crap. I returned to Big Lots, on 07/07/18, because it was their big quarterly sale again. Much to my disbelief, I found ANOTHER 25th Anniversary Cobra Eel figure. This time the package is in much better condition. Once, again, it was the only GI Joe in the entire toy section. As if finding a 10 year old Joe for sale at retail isn't rare enough, but to find two, on two separate outings, at the same store? There must be some sort of small time portal in the back that these things keep slipping through.

So I stopped in to my local ollies to check things out as they have advertised a toy buyout. Found a ton of transformers and girl toys, but no true heroes or Joe. Anyone else have better luck?

I've checked Ollies, Ross for Less recently. Nothing good.

I was at a Dollar General in a po-dunk Utah town optimistically hoping they'd have a Joe... but they didn't. The only GI Joe there was a $5 DVD of the MASS Device.

I went to my local comic shop for the first time today. I found a peg that included some various 25th Ann Flints, Matt Trakker, some Pursuit Dustys, and a Green DG Duke. Prices were not great, but significantly less than the asking prices on EBay.
I was utterly astonished. I was sure that if I found any Joes, they would be beat-up ROC figures in plastic baggies. These were mint condition on sealed cards. I wish someone had taken a picture of my face. I must have stood there for five whole seconds just staring in gape-mouthed amazement. |
