Hi there!
My son needed some new T-Shirts and bluejeans.
That's what we got at the local mall, shirts and pants were price-reduced.
Sean had saved his pocket money in order to buy the Lego computer game which had been marked down to 10 EUR.

Now that is the way to outfit your kid! I need to get my gal some more SW oriented clothing. I really do like seeing what other folks can find, especially overseas stuff.

The SW clothes were not bought at a SciFi-shop or something, but in the kid clothing section of a superstore/department store.
To be honest, if they had had the Clone Captain shirt in my size, I'd have bought one, too.

Hi, does your Woolworth have some more Hawks, RIA Dukes and possibly Stones?
If so, would you pick up some for me, please?
More by PM.

No, sorry, mate. My local Woolworth hasn't got these characters, there only was a Storm Shadow figure left...and I took the two Snake Eyes;) But as I said I will keep on hunting for them. Today I will go to take a look for further figures. And if I find them I will pick them up for you.

See you, soon, and keep your eyes open.

I also found some G.I. Joe and Inadiana Jones figures for only 1.99 Euro each at Woolworth. The most of the German retailers have extremely reduced them to 2-5 Euros...and also the Indiana Jones figures are on sale, now.
It is so amazing...why does this not happen to Star Wars figures, here? I heard that they are on sale at TRU and Walmart of the US for 4.99$ and 4.50$??
We pay up to 13 Euros for EACH!!!!

But I will keep hunting for some more GI figs to make some custom figures of Knights of the Old Republic...

Hello back,

I had no success on my hunt for your figures, yesterday, but I know on which you are looking for...in the first picture you can also see a Duke and a Hawk figure which I got at a local INTERTOYS store for 2.49 Euros each...I will keep my eyes open for them again...it is a pitty I did not know earlier that you are also looking for those because INTERTOYS had some other of these RIA Dukes and Hawks...but I still don't know how a Stone looks...would you give me a picture of him/her?

Hi!
Thanks for looking for my figures. INTERTOYS sounds good, too.

This is a pic of Sgt. Stone:

And if you can find two or three of these, I'd be even happier:

Hello Volker,

I just went to REAL and found some G.I. Joe figures there for 4,99 Euros each:

-3x Conrad "Duke" Hauser
-3x Heavy Storm
-1x Shana "Scarlett" O'Hara
-2x Storm Shadow
-2x Cobra Commander?

But most of the cards were damaged so I decided to keep on looking for the 1,99-2,49 offers...if you need some of those, please contact me. I will go to the city today and will have a look at Intertoys, Kaufhof and Karstadt, again. Where you can also find some G.I. stuff are the VEDES Spielzeugring stores.
By the way I am also looking for the soldeir Duke , although they're VERY rare, but if I find some of them I'll pick them up for sure.
And if I will not find some further great Snake Eyes and Dukes for cheap I'll go to REAL, again to buy the Dukes for 4,99 Euros. And I will go to ToysRUs if I have no success on the weekend...



Good luck and see you, soon.

I've seen Joes on clearance for EUR 4,99 per figure at the Vorteilcenter in Asbach.
They were tons of  Zartan in PIT trooper disguise, Desert Battle Duke !, Baroness, Neo Viper, Snake Eyes Commando, Storm Shadow and Scarlett in camo uniform.
