hey guys, just come back to my home country of australia and seem to be at a loss...
where are the joes? i`ve checked k-mart, big w, target the purple bears` toyworld and have come up with naught. Are they being sold anywhere? Granted I havent checked toys r us yet, so hopefully i`ll come across some there. the sheer lack of joes in big retail chains is astounding though. was easier to find g.i. joes in japan... |

Hi friend. Welcome aboard. You might get lucky and find some at Toys R Us, but I'm thinking your best bet would be to try to find specialty comic stores or something like that. I've been all over the world and usually try my luck at finding Joes whenever time permits, and I have yet to find Joes anywhere but here in the 'States.
I'd bet you'll see plenty of the movie Joes when they come out though. Look at all the places you can find Transformers. They'll be carrying the movie Joes. If those work out well, perhaps the regular Joes will follow. Cheers. |

OK so this is pretty much for the Australian HISSTANK members, I'm wanting to know where the rest of the Australian members here are getting they're Joe figures and vehicles from besides online.
Seeing here in Australia we don't have Wal Mart, ROSS and half the toy stores arn't interested in stocking any Joe series at all. |

Yea fair enough, when ROC came out they made a short appearance in Big W, same as Target, also Toyworld but they were put out on clearance, besides that I haven't seen any anywhere else.

The only place I can say currently has any RoC stuff in stock in Sydney is HobbyCo in the Queen Victoria Building in the CBD.
They have wave 1 & 2 figs (Lots of Destro's, SE's, SS's & Breakers, a handful of other guys) a Crap load of Mole Pods and a few Sky Sweepers (The Firebat repaint) Kings Comics in Sydney has carried PoC, but in very limited numbers and at very random times, I've managed to snag extra moneybag destro's, Shockie's and a few others but its not something you can count on, but I'm lucky in that I can check it during lunchtimes as I work pretty close. |

Yea see I'm not in the city mate so it makes it even harder for me to grab my fix when I want it, what about Toys R Us in the cities?
