Finding 25th anni figures.....
DrJohn
Wow...been awhile since I've been in here! Where the hell is
everybody? Ah well is anybody else having trouble finding the 25th
figures? Ordering by the case isn't an option for me as I'm only
getting the ones I like.So far I'm not army biulding anything except
for the Air Troopers. With the jet pack and all I can rationalise the
size problem.So far I've only found one! I'm also trying to build the
original 13. At this point I'm going crazy trying to find Flash and
the fixed crotch Commando Snakeeyes! The Breaker comicpack is also
elluding me! Anybody out there having any better luck?

today and they had like six figures and all of them were the same, Buzzer.
I really, really want Beachhead, Snow Job and the Breaker 2-pack (Breaker
was my favorite character in the comics.)
I'm thinking of resorting to eBay.

have been bare. The 3 pegs for the comic 2-packs not only have the same 3 sets, they are
still exactly how I left them 2 weeks ago when I bought 1 of each.

I love 2 things about most of the 25th Anniv auctions.
1. How many listings say how hard these figures are to find. Of course they are when the
leeches are sucking them up.
2. The ridiculous above retail prices they are.

In my area TRU had a whole new display set up, a nice section with
just all joes, but by the time I got to it I only scored an old school
CC and green Stalker.
I did notice an over abundance of Cobra officers and Enemies as well
as Hooded CC left behind on racks at 2 different stores, I have
bought about 10 carded Cobra enemy and 10 Legions 5 packs, not hard
to build an army but trying to find waves 3 thru 2008 wave-2 is
turning out to be quite a project, target is always picked dry also.
Buying on Ebay is an option if you search for all possible keywords
and look for ones that are priced close to MSRP, the shipping cost is
same or lower then gas price for me since stores are approx. 20 miles
from me. I did pick up an extra SS and beachhead in hopes of trading
for something I need.

Yeah, real slim pickings on the shelves. I have resorted to
preordering. I don't like that, but I can't find them any other way.
And, I am finding it more and more difficult to drop at least $8 on
figures from the on-line stores when brick and mortal stores carry
them for as low as $4.88 (when they have them). I am getting to the
point where I say, 'Let them have them'. I am really disappointed in
the on-line price gouging. And Hasbrotoyshop.com just sucks for
inventory.
I have a lot of figures so far. Noy one of them is perfect. Bring
back the battle arm swivel grip so my guys can hold their
weapons!!!!! And dump those Duke/Flint/Breaker/Rock'n Roll hands for
crying out loud.

I'm willing to pay up to $2 over the MSRP ($5.99) for 1 or 2 figs, but not every one.
My hope is that all the creeps that suck up this stuff at retail and mark up off the scale
get stuck with the product.
I'm lucky to only be missing Snow Job, but some greedy birdbrains sre asking over $20 for him.
Soon the milk, bread, butter, gasoline, and maybe even air will be scalped too.
So as I peruse the online stores and auction sites my words of choice have been "later for
you at that price!" But there's always some boob that has to give in.
I've been to almost every Walmart, Target, and Kmart between Denver and Cheyenne (which is
roughly 48) and the pegs are always empty. They're selling so why can't Hasbro flood the
market with Joes like Star Wars?
