Imagine living here in Brazil and being a GI Joe fan since 1985... Lucky you.

I find it sad that Joes aren't as highly sought after overall as they were in the 80's. I remember going to Wal-Mart, Kmart, Sears, Fred's, KB Toys, or just about any retail store you could think of and finding Joes. But that was then, I have to live in the now.
Part of what bugs me is that, being the cheapskate that I am, I am increasingly having to pay higher prices for my Joes because the only 2 stores in my area that carry Joes, Target and TRU haven't been keeping up, although Target finally did get 30th waves 1 & 2 in. But I've come to grips with the fact that I'm gonna have to order online to make sure I get what I want, and that I can't count on retail anymore. That's just what it's about.

idk what your options are but if you can save up some money and move more towards the city that has lots of wallys and targets, that would help if it is really a concern to you. I know paying shipping sucks but its just a part of collecting now, there is way more people that have started collecting so theres more competition at retail for getting what you want, also for how quickly waves fly off shelves and never return again, your either there when they hit or your not so online retailers are your best option.
Plus if you are commuting to find toys at retail your probably paying more for gas then you would for shipping, i know finding figs in person is a lot nicer choice then buying them online but with how expensive gas is now, your better off shopping online.
