      My Walmart has a bunch...
      "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn"

      In the Southeast Pacific, lies the sunken city of R'Leyh. There lies C'thulhu waits to return to our world with the other Great Old Ones. A hideous creature of enormous size and alien power, it waits for it's time to return patiently. For it has all the time in the world while it waits for the stars.

            Hiya merlyn.

            WV. Still in the east. I wonder if these have crept pass the mighty Mississippi yet? Don't see any reports from the midwest or pac nw on them.

              One of my WM's had a bunch of the figures and two of the accessory packs, which I grabbed. Now I just need the marine dress outfit and the sailor frogman outfit and I'm all set.

                Visited one in the Fort Worth area. They had a few, but looked like they had been picked over pretty good. Only saw the Snow outfit.

                  Yeah, the Walmart where I got all of mine a few weeks ago is completely cleaned out. There were six displays on the overstock shelf at the time of my purchase. I just knew they would take off. I hear Hasbro is going to do some neat things for the Adventure Team era next year. I'll be completely jazzed to get those, since that was truly my era growing up with the fuzz heads. It would be neat to see them put out retro packaging of Eight Ropes of Danger or others similar to that.

                    These have now also hit the Southern California area. And seem to be selling fast.

                        My local Wm has shown no sign of them, but one a couple towns over had one full box of them.

                          What do they have planned for the AT line???
                          I know the GI JOe club is doing the talking black AT commandor as the free gift for next year and the uniform and box as the club exclusive, but what else?

                            Hit my Wal-Mart last night, and planned to pick up some more, but they were completely sold out.

                              Just hit walmart today ... since I had that naked vintage Joe I picked up the marine dress outfit for him

                              If I had more cash on me I would have grabbed a few more items ... shoot if they're hard to find for some of you I really should head back over and get some. Stuff like this just sits around in the Salem area for some reason ... last year they had the retro Joes sitting around for months at the one walmart.
