So since today was my day off I decided to do a little Joe shopping. I hit up just about every store in town as you will soon see.
Three Wal-Marts (one Super, two regular)
Two HEB Pluses
TRU
Target
The Super Wal-Mart and one regular WM had all the same guys you see over and over again...Destro, Zartan, Neo-Viper, Wave 1 Baronness, Duke, etc. I was especially annoyed with the Super WM as they had one VERY tiny little section for ROC Joes, but the aisle opposite of them...the entire aisle...was Transformers. C'mon, Hasbro, couldn't you work out a deal to do half-and-half? The other Wal-Mart didn't have jack diddly, though to be fair it looked like they were in the middle of a minor rearrange/remodel. But I had high hopes for it because it's a crappy old WM in a crappy part of town...but I found a lot of good 25th stuff there back in the day (Wraith, Mutt & JY, Croc Master, etc). Oh well.
TRU had the same stuff it had the other day. Buncha BBQs and Fireflys, with the rest wave one stuff.
The two HEB Pluses (HEB is a Texas grocery chain. Their Plus stores are absolutely gargantuan and very nice. Best way to describe them is a very nice Super WM or Target minus the clothes section) had only first wave stuff, though one did have both the Joe and Cobra 5-packs on clearance for $20.
Which brings me to Target. Target has a large ROC section in the main toy aisle and TWO endcaps with ROC stuff. It was all the same stuff too...until I noticed the new exclusive Eel w/Wave Crusher, CLAW w/Air-Viper Commando (purple repainted 25th AVAC) and the Air-Assault Glider w/Grand Slam.
I picked up the Eel & Wave Crusher. I started to pick up all three but I'm on a limited Joe budget until I get my bonus check, and I'm holding aside funds in case I find an Agent Helix or a Pit Commando.
When I get said bonus check I'll be going back to Target to pick up the new PIT and the other exclusive figures, so if anyone wants them lemme know.
