i have a theory of why these heb's in tx have wave 10. i think due to hurricane ike people are buying out these grocery stores causing them to need to re-supply and re-stock more freaquently than usual and while doing so they got the earliest shipments of wave 10. obviously im speculating and im just trying to make sence of this.

Trust me when I say this, a grocery store would be the last place I would look for a Joe, but a Hisstank friend told me that he went to one and low and behold they had vehicles.. he asked a stocker and they said they had just put some figures on the shelf.....but they did not have any on the pegs....so I got rained out today at work and went looking...I found all 6 figures at 5 different H.E.B's, but our H.E.B's are like Walmarts...they carry everything...they are really stocking toys for Christmas, so maybe this is why they are getting them.....who knows...

Lucky brah! You got rained out for work so you went on a hunting spree and got lucky while I got ill and stayed in. I'm defenitly gonna get out tonight and go to all HEB in the area. To all other, yaven1 is telling the truth, HEB is not the best place to find joes or any popular toys as I was suprised to see that they carried em. Asked a stocker about figures and he said that they just put em up plus showed me where but was shocked to see how fast it was sold as there was none on the peg. Upon asking him to describe the figures and he could only remember " a guy holding a dog" which was mutt and junkyard. Damn it...I missed the wave 10 being in stock. Thanks to yaven1 who helped me getting me a rattler and conquest.

They still sell GI JOES at HEB? My wife works at the McAllen 1 Store and my Friend Works at the McAllen 4 Store "Classy HEB." Both say they have not seen any or the peg where they hang from. My friend who works at McAllen 4 said they discontinued buying them.

As I stated in the Texas post, these figures all have a new special sticker near them at the stores I found any evidence of any joe (12inch, vehicles, wave 10 figures, wave 9 figures etc.) that said "new item at HEB!" on a red and yellow price sticker that was stuck over the regular peg sticker, price was $7.32. They also had peg places for other "new" items for transformers to fit in the same category as "new" items at these small grocery stores.
Some of them do not even have any evidence of ever having any Joes (to JR0D28's point above) , while others have joes lying in the small plastic bins below the pegs with no prices to be found. There is no rhyme or reason to which store I saw them at. One was a 24 hour small store, the other was a small store that closed at 11pm. The big huge walmartish one I looked at in Waco had a ton of plain vipers and a hooded CC along with a Hiss and a vamp and Flint 12inch figures but no wave 10 as of last night in thier extensive dedicated toy section (largest I saw at any HEB). Don;t think it has anything to do with the hurricane, these are thier first waves to carry and were the first shipments they got of them I am specualting since the tags indicate new items they are carying now... |
