Everywhere I go, I stop at the local Dollar Generals to check their JLU status. At $2.00 a piece, you can't beat the price. They only have one blue carded series I've seen so far, but I've picked up some really nice ones. I picked up Dove here in Dothan, then a few days later picked up Hawk several towns away.

One of the main ones I've been looking for is Booster Gold. I've been on the search for months. Anyway, I recently took a vacation to visit my family in Mississippi. Unbelievable to me, when I checked the only Dollar General in the 1,000 population town in grew up in, the Only One There was Booster Gold!!! I was shocked. Who knew he'd be in my hometown?? It was so cool.

So, now I'm down to finding Red Tornado and the single pack Gold Amazo.

I use to live in Dothan when I was one of the managers at TRU and I would find all kinds of things in the surrounding areas. that's the great thing about small town , less collectors or less ebayers maybe

I need Starman too.

It took me a while to figure out the guy's name.

Ok, decided to hit 4 Dollar Generals in town last night and struck out at all 4. No sign of JLU at any of them.

I'm currently hunting StarMan and Aztek for my son's christmas stocking, I'm not so worried.
