A friend of mine was at TRU in Hickory earlier today and picked up a Social Clash and Arctic Ambush set for me. He said that there were several left.

Anyone going to the toy show in Charlotte this weekend? Its put on by Inside Pitch Promotions. I'll be setup there.

The Toys-R-Us in Fayettville was fully stocked with THREE boxes of the rarely seen Kreo Collection 4 Joes! I was there a couple of days ago so I would call before heading out, but if you're looking for these rare figures, this might be your best chance in NC!

Get your butts in gear and head to Ollie's in Cary. Side wall by boy toys stocked full of Retaliation Joes. $3.99 each. Save some for others!

Dang, Raleigh just had the big ones

You. sir, have just earned Tip of the Year for North Carolina. I was just there and was unbelievably able to pick up one of every figure in wave 3.5. I got a case from HTS months ago, but never opened a single figure from it. Now I've got openers! I did see one Combat Ninja and one Duke left, but it looked like there were at least 2-3 of everything else. (Some like Roadblock and Flint, many more.)

$3.99??? argh! I paid full price for those!

I can't take full credit. I actually had a Marvel Legends figure in hand until I heard a little boy ask his mother for GI Joes. I kindly put the Marvel Legend down and rounded the corner. I couldn't believe it. A shelf full of Joes! I bought 6 figures. I shook my head because I was tempted to buy Ultimate Duke online. So glad I waited. Ollie's is my favorite go to place now.

I can still remember finding the Cycle Armor and HISS Scout there a few years ago. Sometimes that place can be a gold mine.

Thanks for the tip on that Ollies in Cary. I went to the TRU before I went there yesterday and picked up the Battle Below Zero and the Battle at the Docks. They only had two of the BBZ but they had at least 9 BATD. When I got to Ollies I got the last of the single pack's for $4 bucks. There were only 3 left by the time I got there. :(
