They do not ship the figures and vehicles @ the same time. At the TRU in clackamas where I work we received the Skystriker about a month ago, and just started stocking the VTOL and VAMP... And I still have not seen any pending orders for new figures. The computer says we have 13 on the shelf, but it has said that for at least 6 months or so... I assume a reset is coming soon, since we are gearing up for the Christmas season...

In other news, when I was @ Fred Meyer off of Foster rd and 82nd, they had case of Renegades and a couple cases of alpha vehicles out for the picking. Didn't grab any of them since I already got my renegades from BBTS, which kinda sucks because I could have saved over $20.00 with the BOGO 50% and the 10% off from the paper... Oh well...

I found the renegades wave at the Corn-pass fm. Duke's rad. Snake eyes is lame. No hazard viper or army builders beside the ig I got. A full set of renegades left behind.

Renegades Duke and Cobra Commander found at the 148th and Division Fred Meyers. Picked up the CC, left the duke. Wished I left the CC as well.

I'm liking the renegade figures look and all but I am disappointed with the amount of accessories that each figure comes with. In general you got a ton of stuff with the POC line but it is lacking with the renegade figures.

Hmmm, I have to check out the Fred Meyers in Salem now. I'm diggin' the new look of CC. Salem Walmart has had the same Stalkers on the hooks for the past month. I'm considering snagging them just to use as fodder.

Anybody know of any good places to buy Vintage Joes besides Billy Galaxy. around the Portland area?

Thank you USPS. I couldn't find Steel Brigade so I order 2 of them from TRU.com. They should have arrived in the mail today. Checked the status:

Your item was misrouted. The error has been corrected and every effort is being made to deliver it as soon as possible. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later.

They sent it to the wrong zipcode. I checked my order that's has the right zip but they attempted to deliver it a different city.

There is/was an antique and collectibles store in Miliwaukee across the street from Darkhorse that used to have a bunch of vintage toys and a lot of GI Joe. Haven't been up there in awhile so I'm not sure what it's like anymore.

Yea The Main St. collectors mall. Thats one of my spots, but they hardly ever have any vintage joes anymore :(. The only one I have seen there recently was a 93 outback covered in green paint.

That's too bad. Seems like they used to have tons more. I thought their prices weren't too bad either, compared to Billy Galaxies at least.
