Yup. We had Best in Northern VA. You would order from this big ass catalog, they gave you a ticket, then the item would come off a conveyor belt. On a side note, my Dad would find a lot of the hot ticket toys at a store called Zayre. It was like KMart or Target. Nobody would think to buy toys there but he bought us all of Transformers G1 there for Christmas/birthdays back when Transformers were hard to find that one Christmas. We also got our Joes from Zayre and later at a store called Bradley?s. Damn, I miss the 80s.

Speaking of hardware stores I do believe I got my first Joes at Coast to Coast and also my first Transformers there.

It was just so cool to go into any of these stores and see the rows of action figures and vehicles. Don't get me wrong, I have enjoyed my kids having grown up where they saw Star Wars GI JOE, Transformers and TMNT on the shelves all through their childhood but it was not quite the same as when I was a kid. I curiously, cautiously optimistic for the final event this Wednesday! |

Does anyone know how many 2 packs of the Cobra Officer and Trooper sold, and how many are left? I don’t know how to find that info, but I remember someone posted numbers a while back. I’m just curious if more have moved since people are receiving them now.

Bradley's I encountered after I moved to MA for college in the early '90s. There was one in Watertown MA very near a similar department store called Ann & Hope, and not far from a Toys R Us. In the last two years of the Joe line (and for a couple years more as the stock lingered on shelves), I'd make periodic trips out there to hit up all three stores looking for figures I needed. |

I'm still not seeing this. It's probably right in front of my face, but I'm just missing it. I don't see a "search" option to look for quantity. Can anyone give a quick step-by-step from the point where you open the page source?

Is no one going to comment on Megatron's face sticking out of the back of the tank when in vehicle mode?
Is it possible this is only partially transformed and the face can flip down out of sight? Because it looks a little ridiculous like this. |

It's not fully transformed. There's a piece that covers it all up
