So I live in NH and love G.I. Joe, but it is next to impossible to find new G.I. Joes. Except when I went through Walgreens a few weeks back and there in front of me was an Alley Viper. I justified to myself that it was worth paying the $11 for the Figure and drove as fast as I could home in excitement. Now after going through the local Target, Wal-mart, TRU, Marshall's, and TJ Maxx and only seeing the same Artic Destro, Zartan, and dust covered Dusty, I ennded up again back at Walgreens just for S&G's. Low and behold there was a Jungle Duke, which I bought an another Walgreens had a Skydive. I guess my question is, is it worth paying the extra $$ for these figures or is NH finally going to be getting any restock of new G.I. Joes for the reg price of $7.99?

To give you some perspective on pricing, the K-Mart in the East Village, NY charges $9 - $10 for a figure.
You have to decide whether you want the item enough to pay the price or are you willing to wait and possibly waste several tanks of gas driving around day after day looking for it. That extra couple of bucks you spent on the figure is nothing compared to how much it costs to put gas in your car. Depending on your location, it may equate to less than half a gallon of gas.

Yeah, you have to grab it. If you did not, then what are your real chances of finding it at Tru, Target, Walmart, etc... So what of the few dollars more. Saves money, time AND GAS !!!

By the time you find one at a decent price online and pay for shipping, you're probably hovering around that cost anyway.
I'm just glad the WMs and Targets by me have had a slow trickle of them in that I haven't had to resort to Walgreens yet

My Walmart has a ton of jungle Dukes that I'm gonna have to transplant to other stores. I'm never gonna see the new waves if I don't get all these Dukes & Storm Shadows out of here.
While everybody else is bitching about arctic Destro I'm dealing with a Duke & Storm Shadow plague. |

Same at CVS I have found them there along with hard to find Marvel U figures.
But yeah at 11-12.99 can't make myself go for them. But thats also why you find them at those places is the high price , the CVS beside my job gets them ,but they also have ONE guy who comes in and buys them |

It's only worth it if you deem so. Since the release of POC merchandise, the only places I find figures are pharmacies (walgreens, rite aid, etc.).
