seems like I am on a joe shopping kick lately.
Hit yet another walgreens today and came home with another cobra trooper and a general hawk.
Every time I suggest to a store worker that they restock their gi-joes, they always look at me like I'm from Mars.

yeah its amazing they even carry them! Another great score. I have to say I am jealous Clint. There is absolutely nothing around here.  I think my good luck I was having before the holidays has finally run out. :(

I think that it's just that there are so many walgreens around here. Sure, I did stop by a couple that didn't have any but I'm sure there are some around here that I haven't hit yet.

Made this haul yesterday. The wave 1 retaliation figures came from a store called Hastings, kind of a pop culture, cd and movie store. That Joe trooper there is the blue cape version.
Also picked up another gen Hawk from another walgreens.

I have a wave 2 Firefly and roadblock on their way now. I should get the firefly first.

I was talking to a walgreens employee on the phone the other day who claimed that his store was carrying wave 1 retaliation figures now. I hope this doesnt mean that they are running out of tac and roc stuff.

I actually found a retaliation Cobra Trooper at Wal-Mart in the clearance section for $5 yesterday, Cool price for the fig and it's not bad.  completes what I wanted from wave 1 (all two of them LOL) now waiting for the much better wave 2 and up. 

Updates Mon-Fri every week, also reviews and much much more.

Went to a local Target and asked an employee to look up the DCPI code for the new retaliation three packs. She pulled them both from the back, at $19.99 each. They look pretty awesome.

If anyone's interested here's the DCPI: 087-06-0317. You just have to ask an employee to look it up for you, I asked the one working in electronics.
