Michigan G.I. Joe Sightings

georox · 11-23-2008, 12:54 AM

Got the last Firebat Jet and Cobra CLAW/FANG pack at the Walmart in Monroe today. Found nothing in Wave 10/11 that I was looking for... hit most of the stuff in Toledo, OH yesterday and saw nothing (Not technically Monroe, but very short drive from me.) The Target in Monroe, MI had two of the huuuge sets left on Tuesday night when I got mine, not sure if any are left now. I saw a total of three in Toledo yesterday. Hoping to find some Bazooka troopers soon... want a larger anti-vehicle setup of ground troops...

*edit* Also bit off-topic, anyone have advise for finding a fallen black pistol on carpet? Kinda... lifted a Destro while on the phone.. pistol came out of holster.. few hours spent so far searching...

An easy way to find small stuff lost on carpet is to take a flashlight and hold it flat against the floor (parallel with the floor) and then scan in small areas. It will be the easiest way to find small parts and has worked well for me.

went to xcapecon yesterday and wasnt impressed, to be honest it kind of sucked. as far as getting toys it wasnt very good, it was mostly just a bunch of artists trying to sell there artwork, there was cool artists there if you enjoy looking at comic book stuff. and for as far as gijoe, all i saw was a single carded zartan and a ubp pack for 75 bucks, so i dipped out and went hunting at local toy stores around flint and found nothing! TRU was chaotic though,lol i dont know if they were having some kind of sale or something but i never seen the parking lot so packed.

Yeah TRU is usually having two day sales on Fri and Saturday for this month and next month...nothing that would benefit us joe collectors but Buy 2 Get 1 Free or 1/2 off video games and the like.
