Absolutely, you can always ask! At the Okemos TRU, there is one, and only ONE peg for Joes. I found him underneath the peg to the left of the Joe peg. For the life of me I can't remember what figures he was under, but he was on top of some boxes underneath those said figures. Somebody definetly put him there.....

I, in particular don't have a hiding spot, however, I think that "WE" should have one. I am always willing to help anybody looking for something, I go hunting twice a week in different areas and always leave stuff behind. Let me know what you need and we can go from there....

I am looking for Z vipers- I have seen two in the wild and snatched them up. I have even started looking in Kroger's and Walgreens. (I am having a hard time telling myself it's worth 10.99 or higher at those places for Joes)

I any of you see Z vipers and pass on them please let me know.

I'll do the same; I'm not hunting z vipers. I am looking for one more Techno Viper, so if anybody around the Lansing area sees one, LMK.

Don't know if you want to come this far east, but...Walmart in Commerce Twp., Pontiac Trail/Haggerty, has two Techno Vipers. They had 'em last week, and I saw 'em again today.

Crap...I KNOW I've passed 'em up all over the place, but right now I couldn't pinpoint one location. Probably because I ran around to about 6-7 stores today. Decided to grab myself a 30th Viper from CVS and countered that rip off price of $12 with a $7 Law and Order score at Meijers.

But STILL want so badly to find a REN SS!!!

245am I have a techno viper for you, PM me. I have nothing going on this weekend and can meet up with you. was going to go over to Okemos TRU tomorrow anyway. speaking of hiding spots guys when my brother and i worked there we found the second shelf powerwheels to be the best spot. no ones thisks to look there as unless your tall ya gotta yippy toe. and they are not charged so no one will ask to being it down to test like a bike.

Well, I'll tell you, I'd drive to Okemos (Lansing area, right?) in a heartbeat if I knew for sure I'd score a REN SS. I'm wondering if hiding figures behind a Skystriker is too obvious for scalpers to look. Behind Star Wars figures? Anyone else find figures in an intended hiding spot?

got your PM; I'll msg you back in a sec...

But just remembered this: TRU has a nice built in hiding spot. Above the pegs there are signs for what toys are below. These flip up for extra storage, but are usually empty. If you're looking closely, you can see from underneath (there are holes) if something is up there, but you have to be really looking for something. I've tossed a TF:A Rodimus and Arcee up there before when I didn't have cash to buy them, and days later they were still there.

Maybe this is a good spot for "us" to stash things for one another, at TRU at least ...

Yeah, I would drive far away to get a Joe I wanted really bad as well. Before I was a member of this sight or should I say a "regular poster", I used to hide stuff behind Transformers. I would put them way in the back, usually before the last T-former on a peg. T-formers were somewhat close to Joes and the card is way bigger. I always hid them for myself when I didn't want to buy a bunch of stuff at a time.

Hiding has its good and bad points, its good that I'm finding the shit, but screwing you other guys over. However, now, since I talk to a bunch of you guys on the "Tank", I would rather hide something for you guys to find as opposed to buying it myself. And, because I already have a bunch of stuff. Like I said before in this thread or some other one, I go "hunting" 2 or 3 times a week, in different locations and always find someting.


I don't know about hiding behind Skystrikers, everytime I go I look to see how many are on the shelf, plus I know the hiding game, so I would check...scalpers prob to do the same.
