I remember when Walgreen's, Rite-Aid and CVS had Joe stuff. They got all the lines except for the 25th/Modern. Remember those single carded VvV action figures unavailable elsewhere? But Sigma Six ruined all that. I kept thinking that sooner or later, 25th and then later Modern stuff would show up at these places but no, no, no...some still have Sigma Six diver Dukes and "good" Fireflies they can't get rid of. And no 25th. Sighs with grief.

This very thing just pissed me off a half hour ago at Walgreens. They don't have anything good. The only thing they have that's even 1/18 scale is those Bass Pro Shops adventure sets. The figure is articulated just like ARAH Joes, but it's just one super cheesy unpainted mold in different colors for different sets. One has a raft, one a dirtbike, and 2 others, I lost interest. They suck. And I'm not even sure it was Sigma that did it. I was ranting to the wife about how I think they only bother to carry super cheapo shelf filler and the really popular crap they know most kids will pester their parents into getting them, like that Bakugan horsesh*t and Littlest Pet Shop garbage.

I was kinda surprised Walgreens did not carry the 25th/modern era.
I keep looking and no way. But they carry such cheap and crappy toys. You would think they would carry something that would sell. |

They'll most likely have the movie figs. Maybe that'll get the modern era figs in the door.

I still see a lot of S6 figs around and if it weren't for the fact that i don't collect the larger figures, i would have bought some...I stick to the smaller easier to collect a lot of figures...

as much as we would love to see these drug stores to carry 25th joes, we have to look at how much mark-up they put in them.

I have a CVS one block away, I'm there just about everyday. Everyday I walk through the toy aisle hoping it's going to have some joes. Never does. It is on the way to the beer cooler though so it's not a wasted trip.
