Failed to grab the Iron Man Target 3 pack from TK Maxx when I had the chance last week.
Watched some go for £50 & £70 on feebay over the next few days.
maybe TK Maxx is our best UK chance of seeing GI Joe Retaliation product on the shelf.

I think Action-Figure-Supplies will be getting them in, check the advert in the top right corner.

I've got the Cobra invasion 3 pack on order with All The Cool Stuff, but I'm not familiar with Action figure supplies so will check them out cheers.
Mail order safisfies the physical craving, but nothing like seeing the product in a bricks and mortar store.
Anyone know of any stores that stock new or vintage items?
Orbital comics in London sometimes has a couple of things, but nothing last time I looked.

I have some Retaliation stuff in stock and have Wave 3 and some vehicles ordered, just waiting for it to arrive at the wholesalers in the US and then ship.
I highly doubt TK Maxx will get Retaliation stuff as they usually sell discounted stuff from other retailers and as only me and Mr Tree are selling Retaliation stuff over here they won't make their way to retail.

Wow you have some great stuff and fair prices too, will look to complete a few items for sure.
I love TK Maxx for the random items they get in, picked up the Indiana Jones vehicles at a fraction of original retail.
What puzzled me about the Iron Man 3 pack was it was labelled as Target Exclusive and I can't think what UK retailer would have stocked them originally.
I think Target may have had a Woolworths tie in at some point?
It stuns me that a major film will get released (they delayed it and made it 3D for the European market) with no merch in the stores.
Obvs makes you and All The Cool Stuff exclusive outlets, but can't believe something won't show up on the shelves somewhere (forbidden planet?)
I just love the thrill of stumbling across something in a store and grasping it on the shelf.
Also I loved how after GI Joe 1 stumbled, all the vehicles plumeted in price.

Target Exclusives tend to turn up in tesco's but I never saw the IM pack there so not sure where that surfaced from.

Ah yes, Target and Tesco is a good fit.

If you UK guys are still looking for the Dollar General set's, I've currently got a complete series 1, and can get more pretty easily.
