Wow! I just got back from the AAFES BX and what did they have?
Marvel Legends 6 Phoenix, Deadpool and the single carded wave 2 joe figures.
Couldn't afford to get them now, so Thank God for layaway.

I'm just guessing, but I would say MacDill based on his location.

By the way, how much were the single packs on base? I ask this since I am right outside Ft. Campbell.

MacDill has several joint commands on base so he could be from any one of the 4 major services.

It really pays to have Parents (thankfully my Mom) or my Wife's 17 year old sister to get me on the base. Going to pick up some stuff tomorrow for Alyosha and myself. Best thing is no TAX!

Before I got sent to the desert, I found a score of joe toys at the Fort hood PX, lots of wave 8 and wave 1 VvsV, I bought 4 of the value zone packs for only 6.99!! :eek: tax free of course. ;)

then when I went on R&R while I was in camp doha kuwait I found two Ringnecks for $11.99, AFFES rocks!

I'm in the Army, but compared to us the Air Force has it going on.
Anyway, There are alot of joe and other action figure related stuff that I have found at AAFES and not anywhere else such as the Ice Sabre and Quick Strike.

I was noticing on joesightings that the only place the ice sabre was popping up was at px's. That's cool with me that the military is getting first dibbs.

Yeah I am in the Navy, and the Airforce get way more Joe stuff at the PX's than we get at the NEX. As a matter of fact, they just started selling Joes at Norfolk Naval Base.

I am sorry but I am moving this to regional and sightings as it is more or less what PX's have what.
