After hunting for a few weeks I saw a target not to far away had limited stock on Cobra Trooper and Beachhead so I hoped in the car and went to the store before they opened, there was a small line and I had the feeling I was not the only one there hunting. Once we got inside, sure enough the first person in line was headed to the toy section just ahead of me. The only figure on the shelf was a Scarlet so I found an employee and asked nicely if they had any figures not out yet. They went in the back and checked for us, by now there was 3 of us waiting by the Joe section. We started chatting about what we were looking for and just waited. When the employee came back out, they had a box with 3 cobra troopers, 3 beachheads and totally unexpected 2 baroness. My fellow toy hunters John and Don reached into the box, and each grabbed one of each and then a huge thanks to John, he let me have the Baroness since he already had one. By the time we had our figures a few more people showed up looking for Joes. I love when you can go into a store and just hang out for a few minutes with fellow collectors, and it wasn't about flipping things on ebay, it was just about collecting the figures.

It was a great score and everyone was able to get what they needed. Well, my son actually got a Baroness to play with from a friend from another state. But I don’t have a Baroness myself yet. But I’m glad I was able to let you have the second one bro since u needed it more than I did. The beach head and cobra trooper was what my son needed to open and play. Nice to meet you again and nice to meet Don also. Networking is the best way to help each other out. Happy Collecting |

Baroness suddenly popped up this morning all around me with 2 in stock per store. Hopefully these will all soon lose their rare status.

My local Target shows 1 Baroness in stock.
I couldn’t find it on the isle so I asked for help. An employee scanned the tag and confirmed they show to have one in stock but can’t find it. So I’m curious if someone has stashed it or if an employee is holding it.

I am not buying 6” Joes, but the Target in Ponce De Leon Coral Gables, Florida had a Crobra Island Roadblock in the peg last night.

Found a Baroness at Target in Galveston, TX just now. Should be one left on the shelf if any locals are looking.

My patience is wearing thin these days...The site says there's a Cobra Trooper in stock about a half hour drive away (down to the beach, sooooo...) do I bother? Maybe I'll call.
EDIT: Due to COVID related blahblah our team will not be able to provide inventory updates. What's a little gas and a trip to the beach?
