North Carolina G.I. Joe Sightings

Nope, this was an older guy at the gun show. I didn't even have a chance to walk over to the flea market. Every once in a great while, someone will have GI Joes at the gun show.

Visited Ollie's in Cary today and found several Tread Rippers for $8 and change. Figured I'd get one more since I have yet to open the first one I bought months ago. No figures other than the big 12" talking Roadblock and Snake Eyes.

I saw some of those talking 12" figures at the Raleigh store last week. I might swing by tomorrow to check if they stocked vehicles.

shoot, I didn't think of going to OLLIE's today for that. I drove right by it, and the only reason I thought I should stop, if it wasn't so close to 5 PM, is to get a canopy for my patio.
Last summer I was on the warpath looking for GI Joes, this year I am into Star Wars.

I stopped by the Ollies in Raleigh. I found and bought three Retaliation Tread Ripper tanks. I didn't see anything else of interest, but they have plenty of 12" 5POA GI Joe figures, GI Joe talking battle figures, Micro Force, and 5POA Iron Man 3 figures.

I did not. I'll have to look around there one of these days. Did they have mostly vintage or some modern stuff as well?

Probably the only place you'll find Joes on this beach is at my house.
