Hi fellow Joe collectors. I'm new to the boards. I had a big collection of Joes as a kid but gave them away when I was a teenager. I recently saw the retro line because I started getting the star wars retro line. It has me excited to acquire some GiJoe toys in the original looking packaging and with the old style look. I wish they were the Oring type but don't mind the new look and detail in the taller figures.
Anyway I've gone to Walmart a couple of times to look for the figures and there's nothing. No GiJoe, no StarWars, just a couple wrestling figures. It's very different from what I remember as a kid. Going through racks of figures to find the one I needed or wanted. And it only being in Walmart is a hassle since there isn't one nearby. Is this just the state of things? Target seems a little better but isn't carrying the retro joes. I've kind of resigned myself to just going online but I'm a little bummed that I can't walk down an aisle and pick out the figures and vehicles I'm excited about. I can see why my kids aren't into action figures at all. Trying to get what you want seems like a horrible experience.
Lots of great info in this thread. Looking forward to more waves and more vehicles hopefully. Thanks.
Welcome to the Tank! Hopefully distribution picks up some and it gets a bit easier to find things at retail, but sadly modern collecting has turned hunting into a major uphill battle. With luck tue second wave and on will get a bit easier to locate and we get a few more vehicles. The Firebat and Skyhawk, Ghosthawk now I suppose, seem like easy choices to make again since they were updated for the 25th.
