So I swung by TRU on Military again today since I was driving by again. Of course there was nothing new but I saw an employee stocking up some Iron Man and Hulk toys so I asked her about the GI Joes.
She said that every morning when the doors open, the same five guys are there and practically fall all over each other running back there to grab anything they can. She also told me that unfortunately there is nothing they can do about it, she and several of the other employees hate those guys. It's a miracle both me and Shin found those officer three packs there apparently.

The employees definitely know about scalpers. One of them said the officer packs were some of the newest/hottest items they had, and that a customer had told her earlier that a lot of people are buying them and selling them on ebay. I told her how surprised I was that the anniversary joes are still hard to find to this day. Today, one of them commented on the Goon figure I bought from the Dark Knight line, saying it will probably be worth a lot online. I could tell that she knows some people are buying stuff in that store just to scalp. I'm never there when the doors open, actually I almost never go to any store when it opens. |

I wonder if it's the same two idiots I saw run back to the Target toy section a month or so ago at Greenbrier.
I went to Military Highway TRU during lunch and indeed found nothing. I guess I'm going to have to resort to online.

Went by this morning and picked up two (I have a buddy deploying to Iraq that I'm buying for too) of most of the singles at Wal-mart on Liberia in Manassas. There were still several left as of 10:00. I hope you guys get them. The other Wal-mart in Manassas had a couple of most of the older waves on the pegs and yesterday I stopped in Target in Manassas Mall, nothing new except for some Indiana Jones and Hulk stuff.

I'd wait it out a bit before going online, the military highway TRU just put the shelf tags for the officer packs on shelves this week. They are next to the Sigma 6 wave that came back to the store(grey pants SS wave). |

Are you at the Toys'r'us? I live right next to the Bailey's Toys r us and it's usually pretty empty. Ton of Power Elite and Star Wars. But just a side of an endcap for single carded joes.

I dunno, might have been me. I was there around either 5:30 or 6:30 that evening, I forget what time I left work that day. My wife was with me, she is short and pregnant. Sound about right or no?
