Giant Tiger has 12 inch figures.
« on: July 20, 2004, 08:38:40 AM »

I saw this last night. They had Overkill, Cross Hair and Depth Charge all for $9.98. I picked up an Overkill just for the heck of it. The funny thing is I've had this feeling for a while now that Joes would be showing up in Giant Tiger soon. Maybe this is because they had these small puzzels show up around a month ago.

Anyhow, since these were "Spytroops" and I don't think these figures showed up in my area before, maybe they can score some 3 3/4 sized Spy Troops for cheap. Wave 7.5 would be nice but I'd be happy to see anything. Maybe some of the vehicles would really be a cool find.

Everyone go raid your local Giant Tiger stores and show them there is an interest in G.I.Joe and maybe we'll luck out.

My nickname for the Giant Tiger is "the Big Yellow Bi-way" if that helps. It's a cheap store, more than a dollar store, less than other stores. You can find all sorts of cheap things there. That's where I was buying all those Xtreme Troopers (crappy joe knock offs) for 99 cents from before. They even sell food.

They are all over the place. Try here:

Yesterday I saw the 3 small BTR joe vehicles at Giant Tiger yesterday for $3.47. I hope they keep with this current trend, getting more odd Joe vehicles for cheap.
