G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero

[anarky]

The quad is the onetime Ferret.

Targets here have what you listed, plus the Ice Viper, Neo Viper, and the occasional Scarlett. I really would recommend getting the Ice Viper if he's in your area for less than $3. Classic or not, he's a fucking sweet figure.

[Ran]

One of the Targets out here has the $15 vehicle assortment on clearance for $10. It was pretty much just the Mole Pod and snowmobile.

[anarky]

Oh snap! I've got to find a Ferret!

[Ran]

We went to a 2nd Target, but they weren't on clearance there. If they were, I probably would have bought a Ferret.

[Ran]

Got the ATV today and promptly lost the antenna thingy. Its got to be around here somewhere.

The front wheels are really loose.

[anarky]

Rando, if you come across another clearance Snake Trax ATV Ferret, can you snag one? Finally was able to look for toys yesterday, and all the Targets are finally clearing them out. Trouble is, they only have the fucking Mole Pod left.

I saw so many Targets, Rosses, Marshallses, and Dollar Generals in my travels, and didn't get to look for Joes even once.

[Ran]

Sure. I'll try to grab one today on my way home from work. That will mean I have the Slaughter and Ferret for you. (You do still want that Sgt Slaughter, right?)

Dollar General has GI Joe? I haven't looked there. Just have to remember where they are.

[anarky]

I thought you'd posted about that. Or maybe it was Family Dollar?

I'm checking two other Targets today, but they're usually pretty cleaned out on clearance toys. And, yeah, I'll still take that Sarge off you. I need to somehow come up with a way to get the SDCC version, too.

[Ran]

Maybe the SDCC version will show up on Hasbrotoyshop. I've seen other convention exclusives pop up there.

I found GI Joe at Family Dollar. I thought Dollar General was just another $1 store.

Yeah, I'll do my best to grab the Ferret. If you find it, I'll return the one I buy. You just can't get enough of those Scrap Iron figures.

[Ran]

Got you a Ferret. Last one at that particular Target. They had the other "deluxe" figures on clearance for $6 as well, only had the CLAW and Joe version of the same. I wasn't interested in either.

[anarky]

Awesome. You are the man, Ran.

I went to two other Targets; same deal with just the Mole Pods. One had the Deluxe figures for $7 and both had those ripcord vehicles for about $6.50. I got one of each ripcord vehicle (they look like they should look somewhat decent in a display), along with the Joe waterski thing, Joe rocket hang glider thing, Storm Shadow motorcycle, and an extra Cobra CLAW and two extra SNAKEs. Didn't want the gigantanormous Cobra rocket glider; the figures don't work well with it, and I have Strato-Vipers out the wazoo.

[Ran]

Did you said you had an extra Wild Bill? I saw the Wild Bill/Scrap Iron comic pack today, but didn't buy it because I got Scrap Iron with that Ferret.

It took me a while last night, but I figured out what that purple/silver Cobra figure is that comes with the CLAW. He's the pilot from the Firebat that came with the Terror Drome. My brother had it. If they didn't paint it light purple, I might have bought the thing.

[Ran]

Looking at pictures of upcoming GI Joes. I really want the new Beachhead. Snake Eyes and Firefly are kind of cool, too.

This looks like the original Snowcat more than the Ice Dagger.
