Wow, I wish gas was that "cheap" around here. :rolleyes: It's about $3.40 here |

I wasn't looking for "gas-price" pity, just "Ross-store-distance" pity. ;) |
I apologize about that :)
I just checked, the closest one to me is 70 miles away in Hamilton, NJ. |
latest hauls are 17 Strato vipers (mix of diferent 25th types) and 14 Lamprey 2 ROC ones rest are Doci ones .
|
Picked up 3 Flight Pods and Sandstorm w/ Ram from Ross today. Two flight pods for a friend, other stuff stays here.
Those day-glo Elite Vipers are real stinkers! |
what ? I love those ice-cream vipers I want more of em.

Went to Marshells today picked up 2 Desert Vipers, a Para-Viper, a Cobra Bazooka Trooper, and a Transparent Mercenary Wraith. :)

The vipers from the target flight pods?...I have two up for grabs.. |
Recent purchases:
"Gung-Ho vs. Copperhead" two pack two RoC Impact Armor Duke (for customs) PoC Shadow Hunter PoC Snowjob MU Black-Widow MU Vison (clear variant) MU Skrull Soldier Pirates 4 Blackbeard and two Thor Frost-Giants I would say I had a good haul. |
Not strictly "Joe", but the other day I found this close-to-scale wired-RC excavator for $15 in a local Asian shop. It'll make a great background prop for dios and photos.
A quick weathering job made it more realistic, and most of my Joes fit in the seat. I make no apologies for the state of my hobby table! :D |
didn't see this till now whatcha want for em ?

This is my first post on JD, just got into collecting Joes. Was a big fan as a kid, but now it's much better because I can go out hunting on lunch @ work and come back with this;
Several joe vehicles, and some bad azz figures; Sorry this one is blurry, but i have here; I've been collecting MU for about 3 months. And this was a big haul for me got a lot of HTF's knocked out. |

Do you have a WST list?Ill be posting one tonight. |
A 2nd black HISS tank from Ross? Heck yeah!
Still can't find POC Snake Eyes! Dang it! I guess I'll get him at Joelanta next Sunday. |
finally arrive my POC low light , awesome figure :D
|
Got my first two POC figures last Tuesday: Spirit Iron Knife and Firefly.
More on the way. Can't wait. |
I was at TRU last night with my wife and they finally got the True Heroes Longbow Apaches in.
Before grabbing one I checked out the clearance aisles and found one with a damaged box for $20, marked down from $40. The sticker said "Missing piece", but I had a close look and there was a lot missing. The pilots were not there (no big loss; I'd have thrown them out anyway), the fuel drums and one rotor blade were missing as well, as was the rear horizontal stabilizer. One wing and a rocket pod were loose in the box and sliding around. I pointed these out to the checkout chick and she let me have it for a mere $10 (75% off)! Score! Anyway, I opened it up as soon as I got home and the damage wasn't as bad as I'd thought. The wing and ordnance snapped back on, and the "missing" rear stabilizer was behind the cardboard insert. So all I need now is to fabricate a new rotor blade and all will be well. :D :D :D |
wow if you can do that let me know i've had a bbi apache missing a main rotor for ages that i got ina lot off ebay

Best of the 80's
Finally received Best of the 80's w/ Alpine. Now I feel my collection is complete :D
|
so Knoxville has this place called "Duck Duck Goose"... its a consignment store for babies and toddlers that opens for two weekends a year (one in the fall and one in the spring). I attended the one this past weekend since we have a baby on the way and I completely lucked out with a RoC Mobile PIT Command Center for $15.00 and a RoC NightRaven for $6.00... I cant wait for the fall one now.
|
Bought several POCs from a Thai collector here in Bangkok: City Strike Destro, Jungle Viper, Shock Trooper and Shadow Tracker.
|
Quote:
Cool, I've never seen two of those here. |
Got another 25thA Viper and Cobra Trooper and a ROC Desert Viper at Marshall's.
|
Quote:
Thanks! The POC line is actually not available here in Thailand, but this guy pre-ordered several sets and sold some of the figures. :) |
My wife is a wonderful woman! She picked up two sets of the Jungle Terror Twin Battle Gun w/ Range Vipers and two HISS tanks from Ross. Sweet!!
So that brings me up to four black HISS tanks? |
You're a lucky man to have a wife that buys Joe stuff for you. :)
My wife gives me a lot of leeway with my purchases, but she'll never shop for me. She didn't even blink when I came home with these (plus some Delta Force PTE guys): |
@fled74: Are PTE products still available in Australia? Cool! I like their dune buggies. :)
I also just got hold of some vehicles which I got through fellow collector and JD member Dzirhan: POC VAMP, POC Fury and ROC Snarler Cycle. |
Quote:
I found a retailer that had heaps of PTE stuff, a roughly 30-minute drive from my house. I'll be going back very soon! I found the Sea Knight at a nearby TRU. |
Back on the shelves at Marshalls
Hey everyone, I went to Marshalls (like a TJMaxx) and the shelves were loaded again with some ROC and 25ths. I picked up another Mutt&J, Cobra bazooka trooper, Tiger Duke (maybe for a footloose custom body) City commando Snake Eyes, and Movie Ripcord in camo fatigues. I left a B.A.T on the shelf by accident. I have triplets of some of these guys now. I think I'm an addict. Anyway, go check out Marshalls!
|
I stopped by my new favourite toy store on the way to work this morning and I picked up another PTE Humvee in woodland camo and a 3-pack of PTE Navy Seals.
Payday is in a couple of days and I'll be heading back there to throw away even more of my hard-earned. :D |
Picked up a Cobra Shock Trooper at a TRU Express.
|
picked up the new wave 6 aka wave 5 army builders at Wal Mart. the new Viper, Iron Grenadier, and Rock Viper, also grabbed Crazy Legs.. didn't get Croc Master and probably won't. Also not interested in the new Snake Eyes which is weird for me cause I usually get them.
|
Quote:
So Wal-Mart's back to carrying Joes, huh? Cool! |
Quote:
