Got blocked in a Wal-Mart aisle by a couple of wide loads with grocery carts. Was near the greeting card section, trying to get to the cash registers. Happened to notice a rack of sticker sheets out of the corner of my eye. Mostly character stuff -- Transformers, Power Rangers, few other things, and -- G.I.JOE SIGMA SIX!??! 8-O

Brother, those have been there for a while, haven't they... :-P :roll:

Actually the K-Mart near me still has a few S6 Dukes and another store near that still has a S6 Destro, never clearenced or anything. So yeah they can be found still. Never made anything of it myself as they have been there since the S6 toys were originally out.

When I first got to Windsor eight months ago, the TRU had about thirty parachute Dukes. They were slightly reduced. I wanted a few for parts so I thought I'd wait it out for a bigger discount.

Two months later, they were all gone. It could be that they were shipped to a remainder store or maybe even destroyed. But I was at TRU once between the glut and the gone and there was a kid running down the aisle calling out to his dad "Look! GI Joe!" It was a great moment. Five minutes later when I saw the dad carrying the Sigma 6 Duke instead of one of the 25th anniversary figures, it was an even greater moment, at least for me.

A S6 Destro appeared at my local Walmart two weeks ago. I can only assume it's a return (or was found hidden somewhere).

My TRU still has dozens of one of the big-package S6 Dukes.

For the longest time, they still had several other figures, too. I think they finally sold them recently, though.

The TRU's in Savannah and Augusta still had stacks of Sigma 6 stuff last I checked them.
