I've seen Wv 3/4 Ripcords and Scarletts at Toys R Us in Sterling Heights and Madison Heights. Missed everything else though. Plus, they raised the price to $8.99. I personally think that's way too much to pay for a Joe in the store.

Iron Man and Thor are on clearance in the 3-4 range at Meijers. Pirates (for dreadnok custom fodder) are 1.99.

I've noticed that the later waves of IM and Thor have been showing up around here which is an added bonus.

You are correct, $8.99 is too much money to pay for a single Joe figure.

Per an earlier thread, it looks like the price for the movie figures is going to be even higher.

I wonder what TRU is going to charge for the new movie figures?

Hopefully Walmart's price point will be around $7.99 and Target/TRU will be around $8.99

It would be very hard to justify spending $9.99 for a Joe figure if TRU does in fact raise their prices even higher................

8.99 is still better then ebay prices plus no s/h

The one huge problem is that the distribution is very spotty and by the time you add up gas and taxes it is probably pretty close to a wash.

I love hunting for new Joes, probably almost as much as the toy itself.
This is why I cringe to think of having to pay $12 for a Zombie Viper from BBTS. With the pile of loot the shipping should be minimal.

However, I just can't bring myself to do it because I'm still holding on to the dream of finding a few in the wild.

Wondering what you have for USS Flagg? I'm looking to put one together for my sons collection. Looking local to save on shipping. Saw your pics, anything still available?

Thanks so much!

Same down here; North of Houston area is nuthin' new... I haven't seen any wave 3, let alone 4. We do have several ROSSes around here, but I haven't seen any Resolute sets :/

Sorry for the OT sightings, just checking in with my MI hunters. Is it snowing in the Lansing area yet?

eh a little, its cold as fuck though hahaha, be safe man

Just checked the Walgreens on Ford Road, all they had was an ROC Duke.

Well, hopefully this is good news. Was at meijers today, im2, cap, pirates, and clone wars was all removed and in a separate clearance aisle. Sure, there isn't anything going up right away, but that aisle is looking empty and could lead to a lot of Joes. Looking ahead, I wouldn't be surprised if meijers carries 30th up to and maybe alongside retaliation. DC toys have been removed, transformers have been severely cut down. It's perfect timing for GIJoe to fill in the void with a lot of franchises in transition and Joes having a lot to offer around the corner.
The future looks bright my friends.
