Ok here is the deal I was stationed at Ft Riley, KS when I discovered the 25th line and ultimately restarted my love of Joes and discovered the Tank. We had a good group on KS sightings and even met a Tanker or 2 on my morning hunts (I was lucky my drive to post took past a WM). We went to Ft Bliss, TX, for my next and final assignment in the army. Had ok luck we would get our dry spells but in time stuff would show up. Rather a store had peg warmers or just empty there was at least a spot for Joes. I finally decided to Retire and returned to KS thinking “hey well I know where to hunt at”. To my surprise I can’t find a thing No peg warmers, and space that need to restock. The only thing I found was a single PW Destro at a Target. The only reason I was able to pick up a Sky Striker, was I looked it up on line and went to Target and had them look in the back for me (I only took 1, there were 2 left but you have to ask for them if you are near Manhattan). So again what happened in central KS? Did they all of a sudden go anti Joe on me? Sorry about the rant, it’s just bugging the hell out of me.

Joes have lost their presence at retail everywhere since the bomb that was the ROC toyline IMO.
Deth of the line.

Brother I would agree with you but since RoC came out I really have not that bad of a time finding a figure or vehicle somewhere. It’s the nothing that’s bugging me.
