well My girlfriend went on Vacation to PR Leaving me with the ability to hunt like there was no tomorrow lol
anyway on my hunt i witnessed the fever of the ROC action figures first hand, Evrywhere i went people were all over them from Mothers to kids from guys my age to older women i was amazed as i diddnt see this before with the 25th line i have to admit and im a die hard 25th collector and not being a completest with the ROC line i was on the hunt for Dr.REX today witch i knew was a long shot as we diddnt even see the Helix wave out here yet in my area of Staten island. When i go to my local Target i see a Grey wolf PP SE an Elite Viper and ROC Eel (Witch are up for trade with the exception of PP SE) Sum dude like my age sees me by the figz and gets nervous as us collectors do when we see another guy in the Joe section lol he wanted to see what was there but he just acted crazy and went the other way lol now sum other guy sees me there and gets on the phone talking loud as hell informing the person on the line that they have joe stuff there kid would luv and he was just loving the Kids toys the lil walkie talkies and stuff of that nature lol i take the 3 figz and leave and i go to my TRU now when i get there, there is 2 young boys like 8 or 9 years old craving all over the figz looking thru them i look threw but dont see nothing i need and i got to the other section of TRU that has the joes and i see sum Mexican cat looking at a Resolute 5 pack in amazement for like 10 minutes he just stood there looking at it anyway all on the pegs that stood out was a SE repack pic posted below lol and don't ask me why but i go back to the big display of hopes of finding a Black wolf SE now (Knowing its not there mind you ) anyway sum lady is there with her son now and she see's that i like joes so she says "Ohh i love G.i. joe " and is encouraging her son to buy a bunch of stuff like a Raven, 5 Combat heroes packs and sum other items the lil kid loveddddd joes he was ready to grab the shelf he was happy, hell i was happy 4 him and i was just in awww of how the whole town was buzzin over Joes its a great feeling and im really happy that we have made this far in the world of Plastic Crack There was something nice about seeing all the Future Plastic Crack Addicts get there first Fix lol Last edited by COBRACOLLECTOR; 07-31-2009 at 04:38 PM.. |

Just wait until after the movie. Think it's "bad" (bad in a good way) now? Just wait....
But yeah, I've seen more people checking out the Joes then I ever saw with the 25th line. Music to my ears hearing some boy go "Dad, I want to check out G.I. Joe".

I can't believe how many people I've been hearing say they want to see the GI Joe movie. A lot of coworkers that aren't into toys at all still want ot go see it because they remember the cartoon. The toys also seem to be selling out, restocking, and selling out again. It's really making me happy!
