It's not only newsagencies distributing the Joes. The company is Ryan's Warehouse, as confirmed above the product's barcode. A quick check of their website indicates that while newsagencies are the likely targets, a few hobby and specialty shops buy from them.
For example, here's a few sellers in the 2750 district:
-TOY BARN AND HAWKESBURY CYCLES RICHMOND
-WINMALEE NEWSAGENCY WINMALEE
-BLAXLAND NEWSAGENCY BLAXLAND
-CRANEBROOK POST OFFICE CRANEBROOK
-TIMBER-RIFIC TOYS RICHMOND
-HIGH COURT CARDS PENRITH
-WEIRDER THE BETTER KATOOMBA
-JAMBEE URBAN STREET WEAR WINMALEE
-FUNHOUSE AMUSEMENTS BERKSHIRE PARK
-DOWN THE TRACK KANDOS WERRINGTON DOWNS
-WICKED HAMPERS PENRITH
-THE GIFT SHACK SHOP THE OAKS
-ST MARYS SOUTH POST OFFICE ST MARYS SOUTH
Now, simply because these outlets are listed, doesn't mean they'll have any Joe figures. Still, can't hurt to have a look every now and then.
Super cheap, my friend. Though it's still hard to beat Uncle Pete's prices of $2.99 each from late 2010.![]()
