Road trip time!
On Thursday I’ve gotta make a statewide trip for work, and when I do that, I use some personal time so I can take some side trips to stores along the way. Of course, when I say “along the way” in talking about Southern Vermont, I mean, go way the hell out of my way, but at least a little less out of my way then than it would be now.
That makes no sense.
Anyway. This Thursday I’ll be hitting a handful of Targets and Wal-Marts (alas, no Toys “R” Us on this voyage) and will be reporting back on my voyage. Follow me on Twitter to get the step-by-step rundown, or simply enjoy watching me wallow in my own self-pity as I hunt in vain for Pursuit of Cobra Alley-Vipers. I chat a bit at each stop, take some pics, and feel sorry for myself. Doesn’t everyone want to watch that?
Wish me luck!
Yay! A Generals Joes road trip twitter-fest! I LOVE it when you tweet from the road. Its like I’m riding along with you only without the boring parts.
My ouija board tells me you’ll be finding a lot of Duke, Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes figures in Target and many, many RoC Neo-Vipers in Walmart. But hey, at least it won’t be a waste of your time 😉
I also enjoy the roadtrip twitterfests. May your roadtrip be not in vain.
Say hello to the good folks in Bellows Falls!
Awesome. Man, I haven’t been on an epic toy run in quite some time. Back in 2002-2005, a good friend of mine and I would always go out on random nights of the week and hit every Walmart in the Nashville area. So much fun, but I’d love to go on a multi state toy run.
When you’re at Walmart could you pick me up a quart of milk? Thanks! 🙂
Any luck finding Alley-Vipers, Justin?
Was just up there myself last weekend – hit a TRU around Albany for the Bravo vehicles and a Snow Job, and stopped off at several Targets in Mass which were awash in Transformers: Hunt for the Decepticons product already peg warming, but nothing cool for Joes (or Batman: Brave and the Bold or DC Universe Classics, for that matter). The Mechs seem to be selling out faster than I’d thought, which is great.
Best of luck! Will look forward to your adventures.
If you have my luck at Walmart’s the pegs will be full of POC Joes with at least 2 Alley Viper’s there. Target, though has only SE & SS on the pegs… Best of luck & swing by Upstate NY, where Joes are plentiful.
Doesn’t look like he had much luck at all. And here I thought Wisconsin was bad when it comes to getting Joes.
