Well as I had stated last week I haven't bought any Joes in a while and was kind of on a break but my daughter was born and my best friend came over the other day and gave me a Jinx! So stoked to have this figure in my collection! Whatta friend!

Yeah I only collect G.I. Joe, my wallet won't allow for any other collectables at this time.

Not Joes, no. Nothing to buy...a few stray Retaliation figures on shelves in TRU and Target. Been getting Hobbit figures, though. They are far better than I expected them to be.

Anybody seen the Dollar General figs show up down there yet? I've asked my parents to keep an eye out for them, but no luck so far.

Yeah they are restocking at a pretty good rate. I got the ones I wanted and now just been building an army of the Cobra Officers. Got 3 of them the other day on my lunch break, 6 total so far. I don't know if you saw but DG is now advertising them in their circulars and they have dedicated pegs now. They should be really abundant as the Christmas shopping season quickly approaches.

I went to TRU today on my lunch break and surprise surprise they still have the same 20 Renegades CCs on the pegs. They have been lingering since last Christmas! I keep reading on here about how all TRUs are restocking many of the POC waves but ours won't cause their system shows they have a large amount on hand. Does anyone that work in retail actually look at their stock? In this instance anyone could see that these figures aren't going to move and they should send them back to corporate or however to rid themselves of stale stock and order new varied stock. Why is that concept so hard for retailers to understand? I mean if our TRU had gotten rid of these back in January and had started ordering more POC cases imagine how much they would have sold? I know I would have bought many from each case. I alone would have made that scenario profitable for them let alone you guys and any other fans and maybe just maybe kids that would have bought some all year if they had different figures on the pegs. I'll get off my soap box now...

The Hobbit figures look pretty cool but I cannot afford more than one line of figures to collect. My wife already hates my Joe buying habit as it is and I get grief every time she sees the bank statement! Doh!

FYI: Although many on the Tank are reporting finding the holy grail of POC waves (Jungle BAT, Hawk, Trooper, etc...) at Walgreen's it appears that stock is not coming to our State. Over the past two weeks I did a sweep of almost every Walgreen's this side of the Mason-Dixon line and found that 1) the ones that never carried them still aren't 2) Many that had them before now took away the pegs altogether and 3) the remainder that carry them still have the same old Renegades Scarletts and CCs they have had all year.

Good to know. Thanks.
