Funny! Is that near the 8th street Walmart? My wife wouldn't go in there if it was raining fire.

It is basically where 8th street and Cheyenne intersect, further south from the Walmart.

Actually, the store itself seemed pretty clean and organized, but the products were of questionable quality (re: the food) and I am fairly certain that at least a few of the customers in there had some form of tuberculosis by the sounds of their coughs.

lol...raining fire...made me actually lol!

Hey guys. Checked both DG's down in Colorado Springs. Still no Joes although the DG on 85/87 showed price tags for them. Didn't see anyone competent to ask so no clue when they will get them. Also I used the codes from one of the tankers on here and it showed the Target on North Acedemy kiddie corner from Big Lots has Retaliation in. Also the Target off of Arapahoe in south Denver shows in stock as well. Has anyone checked these Targets to see if correct? I'll check the Arapahoe one tomorrow and report back. Any luck on the DG's in North Denver? Curious if its a waste of time or not.

What a bust today!!! I went to DG, and they had nothing. I'm wondering if I should just give up on these anyway, as it takes me awhile to get over there, and I'm seldom off of work during the day. I checked 3 Targets, and even though it stated on the website that Retaliation figs are available at pretty much all stores, none were hanging on the pegs, and at two of the stores the employees that I asked told me they weren't in yet, although one guy says to "check back around the 27th". Yeah, right.

If you'll allow me to rant for just a moment, I just wanna say that street dates for toys is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard of. Just release the things when they're available. Absolutely ridiculous. Here's a guy willing to spend money, and Hasbro stifles it with their stupid release date!!! I'm just so ready for new product that I'm going a little crazy. I don't even really want much from the line -- just the Joe trooper x 3-5 or so, and of course Bruce Willis. But the waiting......it's the hardest part!!!!!

Available means they have them in the stockroom, not on the pegs. In the past, the Powers Target has been the only store to pull from the backroom if you call and ask. The other stores refuse and or play dumb when ya call and give them the upc to see if they'll pull from the back.

I don't get it, what is so bad about it?

Target in Aurora has nothing GI Joe outside of two Skystrikers. It has been that way for 2 months now.

I talked to an employee at the Target on Academy/Union today. He checked and said he had nothing in back and one 30th Scarlett on the pegs. He also said a truck was coming tomorrow (5/17) but he had no idea what was on it.
I'm with Fireflyguy, not interested in a lot, but the wait and empty pegs are killing me.
