YES! I hit every Ross store in the area and finally found one Cobra Legion pack at the store in Knightdale. It was the only set I have found anywhere, and I never saw it at TRU. Couldn't be any happier to finally get this pack.

Awesome score! Glad to know they're hitting the area. I stopped at a few since last week and didn't find anything of interest, but I will keep looking as there's also some cheap Star Wars stuff showing up.

Hey is anyone going to the Greensboro show? There is one in nov. and one in dec. I heard they are pretty good.

Hey NC Tankers. I saw the 2nd annual Raleigh Supercon is at the end of July. Larry Hama is supposed to be there. Anyone going? Did anyone go last year to the first one?

Wasn't sure where else to post this: I'm from the Triangle, but I'm down near Wilmington for the week. I always loved the Wilmington TRU, but of course... I was wondering if there are any good stores to hit for Joes, Star Wars figures or McFarlane figures. I could have sworn I saw an ad for an action figure store here, but I didn't note the name and can't find anything on the google. Heck, it may have been in Wilmington Delaware, and I misread it. Any help from my Wilmington Joe teammates?

Hey. I live in wilmington. The only store I know of that sells toys is Memory Lane comics. They are on the corner of Princess Street and 2nd street downtown. Pelican’s Roost resale shop had a toy booth that sold joes and vintage toys, but they had to close. The guy who ran the toy booth is named Sean and has a facebook page as amazing collectables. He also runs the Wilmington toy show every year.

If you find anywhere else, let me know.

i was surprised to see activity in this thread since Hasbro has officially wiped their hands clean of GI Joe.

LOL To be honest, I just needed a general toy store, because I was looking more for McFarlane figures or Star Wars. I figured someone might know of a good place to look. If there are Joes, bonus, but I doubt I'd buy any. With MTF, I'm pretty much done with Joe (other than creating MTF versions of Joes...)

Anyone going to NC Toycon March 21? Retroblasting from Youtube will be there. I plan on going.

New Hope Church Rd Walmart in Raleigh has 6 classified Joes on an end cap. No Destro.
