Having gotten into the 25A series of Joes a little late, I'm wondering if y'all can update me as to whether or not the FIRST TWO 5 packs (joes & cobra leaders) are still available at TRU?
Now that I think about it, all I lack is Duke (soon to be released with a jetpack!!) and Baroness (which ought to come out as a single carded figure, I hope!!) Does anyone know if these two 5 packs are still on shelves at TRU? |

TRU's still have all three 5-packs, the Joe one, the Cobra one, and the Cobra Legions one. The first 2 Joe and Cobra 5-packs have packaging variations though.
The problem with TRU is that they sell them for $29.99 when Target and Walmart had them for around $24.99 originally. The lowest price Target had them for on clearance was for $6.24. Unfortunately I missed out on them for that price. Hopefully TRU follows suit soon and lowers them. The Duke from the 5-pack was released carded as part of Wave 4. They gave him a backpack though and left out his binoculars. Baroness on the other hand has not been released on a single card. She might be later down the line in another way, shape or form.

TRU never puts top selling toys on clearance. Only stuff that doesnt move and clogs shelves. And at 30 bucks, people will still buy the 5 packs so they wont be clearanced any time soon.

Best bet is to actually hit e-bay, i've seen some people are selling both the joe and legions pack together for around $25. |

If you are looking for those 5 packs Target online has the Joe ones for 17 something and 24 on clearance. They also have a store finder so you may be able to locate some in your area. Toys R Us is the last place I would buy these.

Also, try Kay Bee. You'll be paying the same prices, but it seems as if a few of them are either A) Just getting in the first wave, or B) have had the first wave sitting on their shelves (I rarely go into Kay Bee)

K-marts also have the 5 packs of Joe and Cobra (in the Pittsburgh, Pa area).

K-Marts here in El Paso, TX have plenty of the 5 packs. Good luck in your hunt.

Yeah, but K-mart sucks, Ray. ;-) Sorry, I couldn't resist.....again.
I haven't had much luck with anything Joe oriented at TRU over the last so many months. They were the first store in AZ where I found Wave 1 of the 25th Joes, but since that initial find, I haven't seen much if anything Joe oriented (beyond peg warmers like Lady Jay, Hooded CC, or Shipwreck) at TRU. They do appear to have tons and tons of the 5-packs though (to bring this subject back around to the original topic), so you may be in luck when you go searching. |
