I ran into a guy off craigslist over the weekend who has some vintage joes for sale. If you are interested then pm me and I will give you his number.
This is what I can remember he had when I left. 1982 Hal - had chair and arm no computer and no grand slam 1983 Hiss Tank - had blueprints, no driver 1984 ASP - had one shield on it 1984 Sharc - no windshield but had everything else including bp's and driver with bellows 1984 Stinger 1984 water moccasin 1985 Snowcat 1982 snake eyes missing gun has 85 gun and accessory gun 1984 cobra commander with weapon 1985 torch complete Then he had other things/parts that someone may need. You would have to talk to him and go see. He is in Waynesboro, PA. I said I'd mention it to people so here ya go.

I am real disappointed with the Joe distribution in Pa, I have been searching multiple times over the last few weeks (targets, toysRus, walmarts) and haven't even seen one figure from wave 2...all the time and gas Ive spent I should've just bought them online.

Every Walmart I've seen that's reset their aisle has put out wave 3 single figures. Both local Wegman's put out wave 2 single figures. Most Targets have only put out wave 1 stuff. But the small handful of Targets that actually put out their Joe backstock during Christmas and sold most of it have fared best and have been restocking with wave 3 single figure cases, Alpha Flint bikes, Bravo Ninja Cruisers and wave 2 3-packs. The 3-packs and Ninja Cruisers are a bit easier to find at Target than the wave 3 figures. But I've seen one Target get 4 cases of wave 3 so far and me and another person have found assorted figures from about 8 more wave 3 cases at various Walmarts. I've also seen a wave 2 case at a comic shop.
I think it's just a matter of waiting for all Walmarts to reset, which all should be doing this week, and waiting for TRU to get something in at all, and then the new stuff will be more common. Those stores don't have much backstock of wave 1 around here, unlike Target. |

^this is mindblowing. The only walmarts i've been in since last week have had zero Joes. I must've been there before the resets.

About half of the Walmarts have reset around here, and all of those except the really small ones have space for Joes. I pulled a wave 3 case off a pallet at one Walmart that hadn't reset yet.
Early waves in a movie tie-in toy line are never going to be hard-to-find. There's no reason to get frustrated just because you can't find them in the first week, before half the stores that are going to be carrying them have even begun to put out stock. Target and TRU are likely to add to the supply by running sales and setting up endcaps and displays between now and April. We're all going to be sick of seeing wave 2 and 3 and then we're going to really have to be worried that wave 2 and 3 backstock keeps the really cool later waves with Jinx, Night Viper, movie Ninja, the Sunbow-style figures, etc. from hitting anywhere. But the next wave isn't even due for 3 months. That means we're going to be inundated with wave 2 and 3 over the next 3 months when shipments are at their highest due to the movie promotion. |

I hope so because I'm tired of seeing wave 1 figures (or no figures at all) in stores.

Put out a case of Retaliation figs today at TRU in Robinson. Not up-to-date on who is in what wave, but it was the one with Colton. Also have a bunch of vehicles in stock.
The GI Joe Kre-O endcap was also set up, but there weren't many single Kreon figs there. |

Bought both 3 packs today, didn't realize until I opened the cobra pack up that the firefly inside has two right hands...I also finally found wave 2 at local walmart but could only get battle kata roadblock, the display was already picked over so I guess I'll be checking that walmart more frequently.
