Any local GIJoe collectors? Post your sightings here!
These new 25th Anniversary figures are hard to come buy, so let's all help a brother out and share info!


My weekend findings:

Found (14.99 Class) Kung-Fu Grip Flint, Snake-Eyes, Storm Shadow and Robo-Bike-Thing @ Wal-Mart Grant Line Road in Clarksville, In. Left behind at least one of each.


("Military Style Wave" 14.99 Class) Shockwave, Leatherneck and Desert Wolf @ Kmart Grant Line Road. ***Have also found this wave (this weekend) to be in stock at the Jeffersonville 10th Street and Lewis & Clark Kmarts as well as the Preston Highway Kmart in Louisville.***


Most importantly found 25th Ann. 4" Cobra Commander, Snake-Eyes, Flint and Storm Shadow @ Kmart GrantLine Road. Haven't found ANY other 25th Ann stuff anywhere.

Found my first 8" GIJoe "Adventure Team" sets @ Outer Loop ToysRUs in Louisville. Picked up Storm Shadow w/ Tiger and Recondo w/ Crocodile. None left, but keep your eyes peeled @ your local TRU.

Pretty cool sets IMO, although they are 23.99 @ TRU. When they hit the WalMarts I'm sure they will be 19.99...

Found case on a cart @ Toys R Us Outer Loop of 8" Metal Mayhem figures. Case contained 2x Snake-Eyes w/ Exo-Suit thing. Both are on the shelf now. I looked over one and just wasn't gonna pay 30 bucks for a 10$ figure (nice one though) and a "Exo Suit" thing I could care less about.

Wow, man. I feel really dumb for not checking that K-Mart on Grant Line. I saw all the new Sigma 6 stuff that Wal-Mart had early Wednesday morning and passed on it (for now). I did'nt even think to go into the K-Mart. I would've bought all those 25th singles.

It's nice to see so many people in my precise neck-of-the-woods on this forum. We should start helping each other out. I don't know exactly where you live KY/IN but my friends and I usually make a "toy/hobby run" every Wed. We could probably meet up somewhere if the circumstance every calls for it. IE; I'm currently looking for all the 25th singles.

Cool. I live in Louisville but Southern In. is always part of my hunt. If I find more single packs I can pick them up and sell at cost. I'll certainly try. I still need a Wave 1 Cobra Officer and both of the Wave 1 5-packs...

Okay, if you see anymore singles before I report in that I have them, pick them up and I will gladly pay you for them. Always remember to keep your receipt just in case. I will do the same for you with the 5-packs. If either of us are "low-on-funds" when we see anything, try to get guest service to hold them for a day. We'll keep in touch through this forum. I'll make sure to check it every morning around 9am and report any new info at the same time.

As of right now, if you go to any Target in the area you'll see where the toy aisles are being redone. They are putting up all new product (including 25th). This morning I called 4 different Targets and their merchandise locate system was saying some stores have cases in. But of course the items could'nt be found when they checked the aisle or stockroom. It could be just a glitch right now as the toys make from the stockroom, to the shelf, and have tags made. All new merchandise trucks arrive(d) last night (8/2) and tonight (8/3), so bolo.

Walmart's latest floor planagrams include all 25th stuff and are scheduled for the week of 8/6.

The K-Mart on Grant Line AF aisle is a f**kin' mess. You're lucky you found anything.

Okay that's all the news I have for now. Anymore info we may need to exchange (email addresses, meeting places) we can discuss later. Alright, let's make this work.

Sounds good. I will keep my eyes peeled. As a matter of fact, I will be on the hunt tomorrow...

It seems that I'm gonna need to widen my search. The Sears Essentials huh? The best thing I ever saw there was the ML Sentinel Series when they were new and htf. I hardly ever checked regular K-Marts before going on the hunt for 25th.

I already have the two 5-pks, but I want to get a set to keep sealed as well. Thanks for the heads up on the AT reissues. The entire set is not a priority for me right now, but I will pick up the "G.I.Joe Adventurer" as soon as I see him. Thanks.

[Colder Soldier]

Alright, alright! I was just at the Riverfalls TRU today (8/8), and I killed the case of 25th's they had. I got 7 figs, one was missing. Probably the variant Snake-Eyes. I did'nt get him. They had six 5-pks as well if anyone needs them.

All the Walmarts I visited today (I went to all of them in the area except Grantline) were "redoing" their toy aisles. The one on Westport Rd even had 25th shelf tags up. So either tommorrow or Friday, whoever gets there first, will have the mightiest garrison of CO's.

In other news, of all the Wally's I went to, I only saw one retro AT; The Land Adventurer. I left him there, opting for the Legendary Heroes variant Savage Dragon. The Walmart in Clarksville had a case on the shelf, and 4 shelf displays ready to be put up. Each display/case had 1 set of the 3 variants. So when I left, they had 4 TT Dragons, 5 clear J-Deaths, and 5 maskless SuperPatriots.

The Great Escape also had like every Marvel Legend MIP. Someone must have sold their collection. I've done that a couple of times.

I am the Colder Soldier, and that was Kentuckiana's Toy News for August 8, 2007. Good night, and happy hunting.
