You see I'm on a real tight budget so every purshase I make, i have to make the best out of it. I recently started buying gi joes again after like 20 years And belive me the love still there. when I was a kid I had every single figure truck and playset. I remember goin in to a woolworth store and buying my first joe wich was sgt. stalker and the first thing I did was breaking his arms. of course this were thfirst that came out back in 82. Then my mom bought me more and more until I had the whole collection by 85.

To answer your question, it seems that the big box stores are very regional and how much stuff they stock depends on where you live. Walmart may be the cheapest, followed by Target. At least that's how it is around here. BUT... my local Walmart hasn't had single carded Joes in months. |

Their really is not a best place to buy Joes to me it's all about luck, one Wal-Mart far from home could be non-stocked and one close to home can look like crap. But if u take the time to look u would be surprised, sometimes u just get lucky!

It really all depends, your surest bet to get what you want without having it take up to much of your time, is Big Bad Toy Store.com Hasbro Toy Shop. Com and Entertainment Earth.com. Yes they are a wee bit more and there is shipping, but it saves time and therefore saving money in the long run. However, cheapest, would be this route . . . if you have anything carded, (the rarer the better) make a list submit it to Joel at buying at Big Bad Toy Store and they'll offer you store credit, for which can buy joes. Otherwise watch the sightings board here to find out when Wally or Target have their sales, AKA 4.99 each. Also it doesn't hurt to buy a bunch and wait it out till they get something in you do want. But that topic has been beaten to death I think. Good Luck with Joes on the cheap! and happy hunting.

In addition to all the above, take a look at the Buy/Sell/Trade threads, a lot of Tankers have pretty good deals, and are easy to deal with. SidDarth's Outer Rim Collectibles is a great place to buy from, and check Kohl's and Ross. I found the Legions 5-pack at Ross for $12.
