Its funny like ironic funny that if someone grabs a figure off the shelf and sells it for double then its scalping but if a e-tailer does it its not. I got back into seriously or as serious as it can get about the time roc came out when I grabbed a SS and SE off the peg. Before that I grabbed my fav 25ths and thats it. I got out of it in the early 90's when I entered high school cause the vintage figures just didnt hit that switch that made me want to collect. I go to kokomo toys like I stated before and they are not the only ones that blow prices up on popular figures and Im sure wont be the last. Im glad they are taking care of you. Customer Service is always a plus.

What's so funny about it...like HA HA funny or it's ironic funny? I don't know how long you have been collecting Joe. Maybe you just re-entered at the start of the 25th or more recent, but even into the vintage days at swap meets more rare, more sought after, and army builders are always cost more. Even new figures. Going into the '00s with the Real American Hero collection and beyond. It's always been that way. I really don't see the issue - at all. And Todd and Amber ALWAYS take care of me. I'm not trying to convince you to shop at Kokomo Toys but I will tell you that my shopping experience is better than yours. ;)

Does the south side TRU have any Kre-o blind packs? Castleton and Washington St are out. The Joe Kre-o sections are pretty well picked over too, which is a good sign and people are proving me wrong. I like that TRUs have made them endcaps. I would like to get more singles.
The Washington St. TRU has W2 stuff on an end cap. The Washington St. K-Mart hasn't even stocked Joes yet. They did have their Battleship Kre-o's on clearance, so I picked up some of those and the kiddo and I had fun building them. I checked the Washington St. Marshalls too and they had no Joes as well. As always, the wifey had good luck and brought me home a Dark Ninja, Cyber Ninja, Alley Viper and Flint w/ Cycle at the Noblesville Wally. She's the best!

Thanks to Gary, I picked up a Colton with a great paint apps at Noblesville Wally (no derpy eyes!). I have one on order from bbts, but with the tales of Derpy Joe Colton it was worth it to get one just in case my bbts one suffers from the derp. That was the last of the Wave 2.5 as Gary's better half had already cleaned them out, but if you need wave 2 there were still a few there.
Now bring on the wave 3 preorders! |

We could sell everything in our shop at below cost and some people still wouldn't buy them. Thanks for the support though.

FWIW, the Muncie TRU had 2 Kreo blind packs yesterday afternoon - I think they were both #81 (Kamakura?). Nothing else of real value up that way...
