I'm new to the boards and just started collecting the 25th edition figures. I'm just wondering which ones are rare or hard to find so if I see them I will know those are the rare ones.
I got about 9 25th joes as of now. One of them being the Red Ninja which I heard is hard to find. I'm trying to collect them no (no pokemon pun intended) because I loved them as a kid growing up and I still have all my old 80's Joes. I couldn't resist the new ones! |

Everything pretty much is rare if you're starting now, the most common ones I've seen: CC Hood, Serpentor, Buzzer,
The hardest or most expensive to acquire: Snake-eyes with timber, flint, firefly, lady jaye and everything else in between. I think that's the best way to put it. Troopers you'll find occasionally. Your best bet for finding figures is bigbadtoystore.com or smalljoes.com, and there is always someone on this board wiling to trade. If you see figures from newer waves at retail make sure you snatch them up right away...these joes are like crack or meth if you live in the NW Last edited by theprocess; 04-25-2008 at 03:11 PM.. |

I'd just keep checking wal-mart, I made the mistake of paying 12 bucks for a flint off of ebay and the next week wal-mart had three of them in stock.

I have never seen Flash....for me that is the rarest of all the joes except for Flint. I dind't start collecting until after Christmas. And then I only picked stormshadow and SE. Then I got addicted. I have never Seen Flint or Flash. I seen Firefly once, and Shipwreak a million times. Now I am pissed because those are the 4 I need. I haven't really seen the Red Ninja's here in Maryland. I picked a single and the Box set.

Which ones do you have? Sgt. Slaughter and I both live in your area and may be able to help you find some that you don't already have.
As for the really rare ones(Snake Eyes w/ black Timber, Yellow Stalker, SDCC Gold Pimp Daddy Destro, SDCC Silver Pimp Daddy Destro, and Shark Tattoo Shipwreck), it's gonna cost you about $750+/- to get those 5. Then throw in the JoeCon Rowdy Roddy Piper and he's hitting $400 now. |

As of right now not counting the variants, Firefly and Flint. Some have claimed to seen Flint recently again I'll believe when I see him chillin at the stores. Firefly is the one you gotta worry about.
Other claim Flash but I see him plenty of times. |

K Mart is a really good place for me to get joes. No one hardly ever checks there so they remain untouched. BTY, welcome to the tank, good luck on finding your figures...
