Not limited to just Joes here. Mom ever tell you if you got an "A" you could get a figure? Or something along those lines? Was there one figure who you searched the pegs for and kept comming up empty handed?...Did it get to the point where your parents were like "Ok 1 more store, then were done..pick someone else" ?....
For me, without a doubt it was friggin Storm Shadow, I can not tell you how elusive BOTH Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow were!..Storm Shadow much more though. It was a happy Easter Sunday when I woke up and saw him next to a chocolate bunny in a basket! |

April O'Neil was a b*tch when I was a kid. Never got one. Though my mom tried, bless her soul.
A B*tch to find I mean. |

That's easy! ROCK LORDS SOLITAIRE!!! Drove me friggin insane trying to find her. The biggest pain in the ass out of all the toy lines (well, that & the die cast TIE Bomber). So damn hard to find that I never found one. I had to buy one off ebay a couple years ago.
For years I didn't think they ever actually released her. |

yeah!!! I remember in 86 (i was 11) I was at the age of collecting and posing them more than playing with (blowing up) my toys... My 84 stormy was pretty much wasted. He was so popular that they released him in 86 too.... but he was crazy hard to find. I found him at a Sears on vacation. But I searched Toys r Us for all winter and spring for him. Spirit was a hard one too for what I remember. Firefly too

The Blank from the Dick Tracy line. I didn't even collect it, I was just curious about it. It never hit US retail it turned out.
Black Spidey from Secret Wars was one I never saw in stores. |

I remember I could not find Croc Master and then one night we went into
this place call Cut Rate and there on the shelves were discounted old AND new joes... they even had a bin of broken toys that were like 30 cents... but they had figures on really banged up cards... I got a terrordrome (in a really beat up box) for $30. don't recall how much they were in retail otherwise. I remember I couldn't find an Orko and we went to a TRU and my mom saw one in a woman's cart and stole it when her back was turned. hahahahah. oh mom.
