Hello Gi Joe Fan in Everett,
I'm Sam and I live all the way down in Olympia. What's your name? I'm all for starting a GI JOE group. We could pick a place to meet in between Everett and Olympia...say Southcenter in Tukwila? I went to Target this morning. They had all the vehicles, dvd packs, and revision cases. Well, errantentertainment I guess you and I are the first in the GI JOE Seattle group! What do you want to call ourselves? |

Cool! My name is Jim btw and Southcenter sounds great to me. All the Fred Meyer, Target, Wal Mart, and Kmart up here are still on Wave 7 I never saw Wave 8 and only saw Wave 9 briefly. I got most of Wave 9 except Ninja Ku (which I'm not sure I actually want yet). I have doubles of Barbeque and Bazooka.
They have all the Vehicles, DVD Packs, and Battle Packs v2. The Toys R Us has the Cobra Night Soldiers and Snake Eyes vs. Red Ninjas and the Officer 3 Packs. That's about it for now though. I'm going to head out today and hit them all again. Oh and the comic packs are only up to wave 4. Although I did find one set of wave 5 up in Lake Stevens. We could call ourselves the NW Viper Legion or something like that. |

Just got back from Tulalip Wal*Mart and picked up Rock N Roll (non-25th card), Tiger Force Flint, 2x Cobra Soldiers Python Patrol, and Roadblock (modern). They had Blue Baronesses and Hiss Tank Drivers but I didn't pick any of those up.

The Wave 8 revision cases are beginning to make their way out. I saw them at 2 different Targets and a Walmart down south.

Do they contain all of the original wave 8 figures? At this point I could care less whether they put the figs on new cards - just need them either way.
By the way, I made it to the Belleveu TRU for the first time in several weeks and they'd reset their toy aisles, devoting actual space to Joes. They didn't have any new product, but the employee I spoke to thought they'd be getting more in after the reset. I also found a wave 1 Storm Shadow which the employee said he found hidden under the shelving during the reset. He indicated that he found a few other figs too, but didn't say which ones. |

Parka Snake Eyes, Urban Roadblock, Python Officer, Baroness, TF Flint, Rock and Roll, HISS Driver. Not sure which one was the extra. There's 8 in a case. No Bludd or MASS device CC in this one that I had seen.

Dear Jim,
It is great to meet you! I had a great time at the SARLAAC meeting last night and hit Lacey Target and Walmart (same thing). I also hit Federal Way Target and Wal-Mart. Target still had 15 Cobra Commander (hooded), but they also had one Torpedo!!!! Wow! They finally got one returned probably. There is an old time scalper I knew from back in the day that works at the Federal Way Target, so you probably won't find anything there unless it is the day that he doesn't work. The SARLAAC meeting had a huge turn out. Well, Jim, I guess it's just you and I that are interested in starting a JOE club. Hey, iowajedi, Deceptichage, and everyone else in the area, do you all want to start a club meeting too? Keep hunting and good luck! Sam. |

Freddie's a 20% off selected action figures. That's about $5.59 a Joe. Great if someone has any at their Freddies and wants to pick up some extras or just haven't picked up any yet.
machiwoomiapoo, not sure if I want to join a club. I like reading the boards and posting. It's a nice hobby and I may go to a convention or get together at some time in the future, though. |

Oh well, it looks like starting a group here may be really difficult. Probably because everyone is worried about meeting strange people online. We could meet at my friend's store Northwest Toyz in Tacoma! He just moved into a bigger store and he's a totally into GI JOE too. Just a thought. I've found that meeting every month in the Star Wars meetings is a really nice way to share information and get to know other fans. Don't be afraid to join Jim and I, Deceptichage. We can hook each other up with the figures we can't find in the stores. BTW, I didn't go hunting today. I did open my Hoth Speeder Bikes and Dagger Squadron B-Wing! They're both really sweet! The B-Wing comes with extra stickers, so I used them on my vintage B-Wing since it didn't have any. Keep hunting and good luck!
