I was out in Glasgow the other day getting up to date with the Joe comics. It's a bit far to go for the comics I suppose, but on the other hand I got everything I was looking for.
Quite by chance I found another comic shop, someway away from the usual areas of shopping in Glesga. Anyway I went in and to my horror I saw two Commando Sigma 6 figures. Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. Thats the first time I have saw them here in Scotland and I hope it's the last! It did however make me ask the guy in the store if he had any other Joe items...
He did have, two weeks before my visit unfortunately! They had the 25th Anniv stuff and I had missed it by 14 days or so! Bugger! I was genuinely disapointed! I do hate the figures with a passion. But I really would have bought some. Just to see if they are really as bad as they look. Also from a collectors point of view I'd like to have the 25th anniv stuff boxed, as it does mean something to me. Just a shame Hasbro made an arse of it!
I find myself almost surprised though, that I was actually disapointed when the guy said he was sold out. I never expected to find any Joe's at all.
Maybe I'm a closet lover of the 25th stuff?
I hope not!
Dave
