Hey guys! Who all is down in the Springs? I've counted Ekko and Slim. Anybody else?

[ekko]

I sure hope that there is more than Slim and myself, otherwise Slim is buying waaaayyyyyy too many GI Joes since I buy almost all of mine online but yet I still don't see very much out on the pegs.

Slim, are you buying everything? lol

Nope, I'm not buying everything. But I do buy mulitples of Troop Builders, but still leave some on the pegs. But then maybe there aren't too many of us who post on the "Tank", but instead just "lurk".

I am always down for a meetup, so if anybody else is then let's do it!

As for how much harder it appears to be to find new joes here in the Springs, I think that it is if you look at Denver, which is somewhere around 3.5 times bigger than the Springs, they have 7 TRU's whereas we have only 1, and the same ratio holds true for Targets and Walmarts.

We really should have at least 2 TRU's down here, but we are left with the one that is more babies'r'us than toys'r'us.

Haha awesome! Well if we can all agree on a time and place, then yeah let's make this happen. How about some point during spring break?

i'm glad i have lethbridge to myself, lol. there just isn't enough around here to have to share with other collectors. the kids around town help keep the stock moving good enough, hahah

Anyone from CO going to the con this year?

[fett413]

Hey everyone...been a long time since I posted. I kind of left the GI Joe collecting following the demise of the 25th Anniversary Line. However, I've recently started picking up cool figures here and there with the Pursuit of Cobra line. I'm all caught up (with the ones I want) except for the Shadow Tracker. Has anyone seen this bad boy at retail yet?

[slim19722]

Only saw Shadow Tracker at Wal-Mart, Target so far is getting the revision cases, which doesn't have ST, but has Low Light & Sky Dive.
