Stopped by CVS on my way home and couldn’t resist these two:

TRU Stock x2
I hit up a second area TRU. Nothing new. Forgot to snap a pic.
TRU Stock
I heard rumors of TRU restocking, but it’s either rumors or just not in my area. There is another TRU I’ll check in a few hours. But it’s the same stuff, that has been there for months.
David Perillo GI Joe Prints – Acidfreegallery.com
Well I went on at 9:30am and I was able to snag both a Cobra and GI Joe print! They look really cool and I will be framing them and hanging them in my new GI Joe man cave that is under construction! Just an FYI, both the Cobra and Joe prints are still available at this time. However, the Transformers prints are sold out.
2nd Box Preview
I’ve just started unwrapping another box. Here are the first two things I have unwrapped!
Giant Collection – 1st Box
Wow, just opened up the first box! I’m speechless. Everything is complete an in mint condition! The guy I bought everything from really took care of this stuff. It is not organized by year, so there is a a good mix of years here.
Swap Meet
Well I didn’t find anything too interesting at the swap meet. I found several Sigma Six Joes, but I don’t have any and don’t want to start buying any. The only Joe item I found was a 1989 Heat Viper with a broken right hand. I picked him up for 50 cents.
Swap Meet and Giant Collection
So I am off to a local swap meet to see what gems I can find. I post up anything I grab later. In addition, I’m finally going to start going through some of the 30 boxes that this collection came in. I’ll also post pictures of those items as well.
My Argen 7 Collection
Here are pictures of my Argen 7 figures. First off, the mortal card back is a reproduction. Second, you will see two mortals and two topsons. I have the mortals with and without the cobra insignia. I think there are only 4 or 5 mortals that have symbols like mine. With the Topsons, there is a paint variation in the v-neck one with and one without the black plaint.
I am very proud of these figures, I bought them for myself as both a birthday present and for passing the CA bar and getting a job. All are complete minus topsons phone and manlehs chute (but I’m working on that). Enjoy!

Kinda interesting as it is ultimately where the 3″ Joes that I (we) now love came from.
