Title: 25th anniversary GI JOES!

goes without saying what these bad boys are. I'm currently looking for the Joes (good guys) boxed set and ALL the single carded figures.
also as far as I know Photoman is looking for the single carded figures as well so if you find them let either of us know, I imagine we'll appreciate it. :thumb

Well I'm looking for myself first and foremost; that said, I'll do so for you chaps afterwards. Please do likewise for me. I'm only looking for certain characters.

I've seen a few now, mostly at Targets, and mostly the Joes box set. I've seen a few of the single cardeds, but the cards have been mangled. It's a trick the toy people pull here, to "get back" at collectors. They know which are the "rare" things and they mangle the cards so that E-Bayers won't buy them. I usually like them for it, but with these guys, the point is leaving them in the pack. Oh well.

I want Flint, Cobra Commander, Destro - did they make a Baroness?
kylethoreau - August 7, 2007 09:30 PM (GMT)

and I saw them setting up for the new joes at target on saturday.
photoman - August 9, 2007 10:55 PM (GMT)

photoman - August 10, 2007 12:46 AM (GMT)

kylethoreau - August 10, 2007 01:25 AM (GMT)

To quote Bim from Facebook:
"how old are u??? seirously...looks like Kyle's room for fucks sake!"
I'm all about the opening and dis(playing).
I need to take pics of the Toho Shelf soon.
kylethoreau - August 12, 2007 10:58 PM (GMT)
in the ever growing list of places to find them- KB toys. I managed to find the very last figure there, Flint. Lucky me.
So no worries about me now.
SensationalC - August 13, 2007 12:42 AM (GMT)
We don't have a KB toys in my city anymore.
Went out of business due to one being inside the mall and two for having really expensive prices.
kylethoreau - August 13, 2007 12:57 AM (GMT)
yeah KB is all but gone now, I used to have just up the road from me :(
but I know for sure Target stocks them, although I'd hurry, they don't last long.
photoman - August 17, 2007 05:55 PM (GMT)
buddy of mine found me a set, plus the Destros from Comic-Con! now I just have to hunt down the variations on Snake Eyes and the troopers.
kylethoreau - August 18, 2007 12:21 AM (GMT)
how many trooper variations?
and now I don't feel so bad not finding the figs
so the money will be sent out tomorrow (was sorted holding off til I had at least one :lol)
photoman - August 18, 2007 12:28 AM (GMT)

I scored the Cobra Boxed Set.
I'm good until Lady Jaye comes out.
kylethoreau - August 19, 2007 10:23 PM (GMT)
finally found the cobra officer too
would seem the reorders are popping up now
Elusive Yeti - August 20, 2007 05:00 AM (GMT)
YO JOE! That is a THOROUGHLY awesome GI Joe opening! :thrash
Followed only by the Third Opening (First Season) Intro that had Flint tossing Cobra Commander's ass through a window!
PS - Somebody better tell Nick Fury that Cobra stole his Helecarrier. :lol

I just watched the whole movie with my kids a couple days ago, it was pretty much as awesome as I remembered it. :thrash
