I was at Babies R Us in St. Matthews today so I figured I'd hop across the street to TRU. Wasn't expecting to find anything Joe wise. To my surprise there was a Zombie Viper, Tunnel Rat, Air-Tight, 2 or 3 Renegades Troopers, Renegades CC and a few others I can't recall. Not sure if these were a return or old stock found in the back room. I snagged the ZV and AT. It was pleasant to finally purchase some Joes at retail for a change.

That's cool. I remember 2 years(?) ago it was my bi-weekly routine to go to TRU and buy the 2 Zombie Vipers. That lasted for like 4 months straight. Before that it was Shock Troopers and Alley Vipers. I started leaving the STs and AVs after a while. It was great. I still don't understand why some collectors claim to hate TRU so much. Truck day - Be there at open - Buy stuff. It's that simple.

It's weird, I was able to find all the shock troopers and alley vipers I wanted, but was never able to find many zombie vipers. I've only been to that TRU 2-3 times ever, since it's out of my way. Glad I popped in though. Still curious if these were a return or old stock they found in the back.

Likely a return...fyi any one collect tfs? since I cant get back any of my stolen items (lazy cops) im just gonna offload my tfs in one shot. Also anyone find any ultimate stuff? I haven't found a damn thing.

[Python_Puckman]

nope, still nada. Did you see that folks are finding these at Walgreens right now. I'm thinking of stopping by to see if there is anything here yet.

I saw Ultimate CC and SE at the Walgreens on New Cut yesterday. I was hanging at a friends place and I left my phone there to charge, so I didn't take pics. When I got back to my phone I saw the story had already broke.

I was going to wake up early and hit up some WGs for some CCNs, but HTS came through on those today. I have 10 more on the way.

Troop-builders very rarely leave my possession my friend. Lol. I might have an extra Jinx on the way though.

I stopped collecting TFs a year ago. Even though, it's one of the best lines out there, I don't think I could afford all the ones I want even if I dropped Joe, Marvel, and MOTUC. I'd want all the cool import and 3rd party stuff. Though Springer and Blitzwing have found a way in here recently and I'm currently anticipating the "Year of the Horse MP-10" (fingers crossed).

Just got Ultimate Duke and data viper today. There's still a budo left at the Alexandria Walgreens if anyone's interested. Wave 3.5 is definitely available thru our area's warehouse (NKY and greater Cincinnati) but it's a crap shoot as to what figures will come in. If you talk to the store manager, they MAY increase the order for you but it's at their discretion.

It's that time of year again! PTE at BigLots. Just wondering if anyone spots the winter camo Humvee with tank threads, will give me a shout. I don't have as much time to hunt like I use to. My Snow Serpents need transport. :-) I stopped by the one on New Cut and found the new Amphibian vehicles and the locker/bunkbed sets. No Humvees though.
