Modern Era Wave 5 Vehicles At ROSS

GI-Joe-Modern-Era-Wave-5-Vehicles-01
In what may come as a surprise to GI Joe 25th Anniversary/Modern Era GI Joe fans, the elusive GI Joe Modern Era Wave 5 Vehicles have turned up at ROSS stores. These formerly internet exclusive vehicles follow the Defense Of Cobra Island and Assault On Cobra Island sets, which arrived at ROSS earlier this year. For a refresher, wave 5 includes the following:
  • Ghost HAWK With Lift Ticket
  • Arctic HISS Tank With Arctic HISS Tank Driver
  • FLAK With Outback VS Cobra CLAW With Air Viper
  • Stinger Jeep With Stinger Commander
For photographic evidence, hit the title bar, and happy hunting!

Mod Edit: Post all your ROSS G.I. Joe finds in this thread.

hey guys!

just to let everyone know, i found the cobra legions boxset at ROSS for only $11.99.



i guess this is perfect for those who missed it during the crazy Target clearance, and for those who need some closure for their army building needs. LOL!

i bought 2 boxsets this afternoon. i left a few, coz i only needed 2 sets, so that i can finish up or have reached quota on the other troopers.

if you guys have ROSS near you, i suggest check them out. but also, it's a hit and miss, since i found these guys in one store and none at the 2 other stores. so relax people, it might start to trickle down later.

EDIT: found out JBL posted this one yesterday. no biggie right.

kinda like a closeout store. kinda like Tuesday Morning or TJ Maxx, marshalls, where they still sell sigma 6 toys.
VIPER 48:
OK, thanks. I will check it out and see if there is one near me...
Scoop:
Too bad there aren't any Ross stores in New York because I could still use a cheap Joe 5-pack.

I actually got hooked up the other day with a Cobra Legions 5-pack for $13 at Walmart. An employee gave it to me and said that a scalper had it buried somewhere and that he couldn't wait to see the look on the guys face when he returned to buy it next time.

I thought that was hilarious.
flywheels:
I'll have to check Ross as we've got one right off the interstate near my new house. Thanks for the tip.
deanhp:
As far as I remember Ross is a clothing store. wouldnt ever expect to find figures there. weird.I been in there before and I only remember finding clothes or shoes.

There's one on South Boulevard at Tyvola, where Toys Я Us used to be, too. If you don't have any luck, I can check that location for you.
CaptainDinobot:
Hmm... I wonder if Big Lots would have it or not..

Yeah they carry toys. I usually hit it every so often to check for clearance stuff. I've hit the jackpot there in the past.
Deceptichage:
I was able to pick up a couple of the Legions boxset. The toy section is a mess and was only able to find the second set after my brother found a model car that he wanted. There was a Joe set that I left. I didn't see a price on it.
Shogi:
I checked one around me today but they still have the Sigma 6 stuff they've had for a couple of months.
Phorpus:
Well the Ross in my area is pretty much the same as the Kohl's and TJ Maxx: As if a giant gorilla violently began to rip apart a section of the store and left opened toys and outrageous prices in its wake.

I've never found anything at Ross other than the remnants of shoplifted toys and useless crap. they don't even restock as much as they seem to just shovel more crap onto the pile for kids to crawl into while their mothers look at discount clothes.
Shin-Gouki:
I got a ROCC a few months ago there. I'll have to look.

Wow, in the UK we have TK Maxx, I wonder why they felt the need to change a letter...

on a related note the last time I found a GI Joe figure it was there (Sigma 6, Lame)

And yes it looks like a violent gorilla has ripped through our stores too!

Because the UK already had another discount department store whose begins with "TJ".
Shogi:
I hit a TJ Maxx today and the toy aisle was fully stocked and pretty neat looking. They had a bunch of the Sigma 6 stuff that's been at ROSS for the last month. Also found a Spy Troops Crimson Command Chopper for $20! Last time I saw those was a couple of years ago at Roses
Shin-Gouki:
Damnit I have to go to TJ Maxx now!
Deceptichage:
Me too! I'm late in the game for Sigma 6 figs and have found a few at Ross looking for the clearanced Legions,
TEMPLAR BAGGINS:
Any chance these stores might still carry the Cobat Squad Black Opps figure (the one that looks kinda like Shockwave)? If so, I'll go today.


Shockwave
karamazov80:
The only Sigma Six Joes my Ross had was the Snake Eyes with a parachute, another version of Snake Eyes, and one of those sets with the 2 inch figures. . .however, they also had some JLU 3 packs (one with reverse Flash and Justice Lord versions of Martian Manhunter and Green Lantern, and one with the 3 Green Lantern figures)
fogger1138:
Found two Cobra Legions sets at the Ross in Columbia, MD - they also had some Sigma 6 stuff (which I left, cuz I don't collect it).
AlphaPrime:
Hmm wonder if i should check my local Ross next time i get some money, i never did get the legions set(or the regular cobra set for that matter heh)
gdztoyz:
Thanks for the tip, I found one today.

Budget troop building...always a good thing. As far as the extra Cobra Commander goes, I'm thinking he'll be a custom Red Laser, and Storm Shadow, I'm not sure... I KNOW he's going to be officially repainted eventually as Ninja Viper...just a matter of time...hmm maybe a Kamakura?
cornbot:
cool thanks
The Silent Master:
I went to the Ross in Rockville, MD and picked up a legions and a Joes box each for $12. There were several Legions ones left if anyone is in this area.
VIPER 48:
I checked in my area, and there were no Ross stores. At least i couldn't find any. I guess i didn't need to buy any extra legion sets. I just wanted a few more Stinger Drivers anyway, but maybe i will come across some extras some day...
Zap:
Checked the ross by my house nothing but sigma six dukes.
Caliburn:
WTF.........Really? Ross........guess I have to add that to my list of stops. Thanks for the heads up.
Porkchop Sandwiches:
Ross is fun cause you can trick the lady into going and then you're like 'oh looky there...Joes!...and I thought we were just clothes shopping honey...'
Porkchop Sandwiches:
I found one pack today. Yippy. Going on another hunt in a bit.
topnotch97:
any of you guys finding it at Ross stores for only $9.99?
DJxStealth:
i got two for 11.99 today socal
Porkchop Sandwiches:
I found 2 today that I didn't buy because the line was too long. Going back tomorrow. $11.99
The Silent Master:
Anyone seen the Cobra 5 pack (non legions)? I'd like to land one of those for $12.
Snow Job:
Anyone still finding these at Ross? When I initially heard about this, I didn't really check them as Ross wasn't on my usual hunting routes.

I checked the other day at my nearest Ross, and I saw a Cobra Legions 5-pack with the front flap torn off and two figures taken out. :(
A.I.G:
none at my Ross stores!
Elite Force Cobra:

AV8:

minstrelboy:
Just Sigma 6 last I checked.

The TRU in west El Paso still has the Joe and Cobra 5 Packs, but they are 29.99. I checked at the Ross stores after the initial notification and nothing to be found.
TEMPLAR BAGGINS:
A local KMart near me still has alot of them, but they're $24.99.

Snake-Eyes:
Snow Job, Amazon has them both Cobra Legion 15.00 and Joe 5 pack 26.99 I think they are 41.99 total with free shipping if you buy them together. If you scroll down a little bit you will see the option to buy them together. The link is below:

http://www.amazon.com/Hasbro-Anniver...187209&sr=8-13


I think I might be wrong about the free shipping but check it out. It still seems like an OK deal.
Snake-Eyes:
Hey Shockwave the Magnificent is Wal-Marts price still 3.76 or did it go up on wave 7?

Wal-Marts cost on Joe figures he reported the cost they pay when the price jumped to 6.84 he said it had not changed from the original price they paid from wave 1. I saw he had posted in here and just wanted to know if it went up with wave 7.

Did you check those 5 packs out on Amazon Snow Job?

Wow.....$3.76 for a Joe. That must be nice!


And yeah, I checked it out. I would get the Cobra Legions, but not the Joe one because it's above retail. I was hoping to pay Ross price of $11 or $12.99. But $15.00 ain't so bad. Thanks for the link, man.
