Odd Finds at Tuesday Morning
Hadn't had any luck finding the last wave Iron Man figures at Ross or its sister stores. I happened to stop in Tuesday Morning to kill a little time waiting for a prescription to be filled. Debated on whether to buy the Rise of Cobra Desert Rockslide or the Dark Knight Two-Face figure when I spied an Iron Man 2 card.
Lo and behold, it was Whiplash from the last wave! So I take it and the Desert Rockslide to check out. I noticed the front of the store is full of Barbie and similar dolls and pay it no mind as the cashier hands me my bag.
Not sure how this caught the corner of my eye walking out, but I noticed some comic art. I walk back and it's **Joe Kubert** art belonging to the Dreams & Visions Mademoiselle Marie G.I. Joe figure!!! Behind it was the Blackhawk's arch villainess, Miss Fear!!! Price on each? $30! Seeing as they retailed for over $100 (and fetched insane eBay prices once upon a time), I couldn't pass them up. Took both back to the register after ensuring they were complete.
So now I'm looking for Sgt. Rock, his cohorts in Easy Company, and the Blackhawks at reasonable prices.
I think those have the old cool girl bodies, and if so, thats a great find, since they go for quite a bit now.
That is odd. I actually remember seeing Tuesday Morning reports for these several years ago. This was back in the GI Joe Google groups days, maybe as long as 4 -5 years ago. I would have loved to pick them up at that price but no Tuesday Mornings in the area.
I kinda regret not buying the Barbie Black Canary when I saw it at Tue Morn a few years ago.
They also made an Un-known Soldier figure, but I don't think that one ever showed up at the discounters.
Hmm. I have to hyphenate unknown for it to show up in my post.
Hmmmm. I took that one out of the filter just now. I had added a large block of things to the filter here from a "spam stopper" site's suggesting list, and apparently that was one of the words!
I saw the figure at Tuesday Morning one time. Only the figure. No box, no accessories. Just an Un-known Soldier lost in the shambles of the toy isle.
Did any of the Sgt. Rock or Blackhawk figures (aside from Marie, Fear, and apparently Unknown Soldier) hit the discounters? Not that I expect to get lucky, just curious.
That's a real good pick up! All my Tuesday Mornings have are the same 'ol toys from three years ago.
four or five years ago the Sgt. Rock and Easy Company figures showed up at Tuesday Mornings. Sadly, I only ever found one lone Ice Cream Soldier. He's cool as heck, but I would've loved to get the whole crew.
