Wave 8 has hit Las Vegas, as I found the remnants at Walmart on W. Craig Rd. a few hours ago. There were 3 MASS device CCs, 2 Vipers and 1 Roadblock.

[ManWithNoName]

Found the Wave 7, revision 1 case at Walmart on W. Craig tonight so if you missed Firefly it looks like there are more on the way.

[ManWithNoName]

Finally found Wave 8 at Walmart on Nellis & Craig.

[Kluster Bombs]

Wow! I haven't seen any yet.. I wouldn't be able to buy them anyways cause i spent most of my money on Transformers Animated.

[Firefly2121]

I forgot about that one...never been there...

[Firefly2121]

I cant believe I actually found something...Picked up all 3 of wave 4 Comic sets...at WM Boulder/Nellis.

[ManWithNoName]

Hey guys, I'm glad to see some more activity on the Nevada boards! I haven't checked it in awhile since I was the only one posting, lol! Welcome, and maybe we can help each other out.


Speaking of Wave 4 comic packs, I found them a couple of weeks ago at the Meadows Target near Meadows Mall.

[Firefly2121]

Went to a few places today...and found nothing...

Vegas sucks...

[ManWithNoName]

I found Wave 9 at Target on 215 & Frontage rd, one of each with mangled cards that looked like the case got run over with something. All the figures were fine, so I grabbed 'em. Target on Craig and Clayton evidently had Wave 9, but all I saw was the last remaining Wild Bill with the cartoon series logo.

Ahhh, you beat to them..I just got back from that Target also and saw Torpedo and Wild Bill only. I went to Walmart on Decatur & 215 and found some wave 9. All the Snow Serpents and BBQ were gone.

The card quality on these new figs are crap.

[Firefly2121]

Friend found vehicles @ Walmart on Spring MTn...

[ManWithNoName]

Got the DVD Packs at Target 215/Frontage.

[Kluster Bombs]

Got the DVD Packs at Target 215/Frontage.

I saw those there today also but had to pass for now. I ended up getting ML Hulk figs.

Plus I also found wave 9 at Walmart.

[Firefly2121]

Picked up Barbeque, Bazooka & Snow Serpent at WM on spring mtn...Left behind 1 barbeque, 1 bazooka, 4 Black SS, 4 Hawks, 6-8Wild Bills, 6-8 Torpedos...No BATS...

Passed on the new vehicles...at Target (Spring Mtn.)...I just dont really dig them..I do want the Trouble bubble and HISS. But I'll get them on a later date.

[ManWithNoName]

Apparently Wave 5 comic packs are out in Cali. Hopefully we'll see them here soon!

[Kluster Bombs]

Wave 9 minus Snow Serpent at Target 215 north. I was gonna buy the Bat but left it. They also had 1 of each of the vehicles as of 7:15pm.

If anybody is interseted, I also found Wave 3 Deluxe animated transformers and DCUC wave 2 at Walmart in Centennial.

Got myself Soundwave.

[Firefly2121]

Picked up a BATS & Snow Serpent at WM on Spring Mtn...Found a HISS tank at Target, but didnt buy it...

[Firefly2121]

I bought 1 blue & 2 black...I was going to open the extra black, but I dont think I need another CC opened...So I got one for sale...$50 shipped...

[Firefly2121]

Anyone seen the new comic packs yet??? The one with IG Destro/IG, Tripwire/CC & Falcon/N.E....

[Kluster Bombs]

Anyone seen the new comic packs yet??? The one with IG Destro/IG, Tripwire/CC & Falcon/N.E....


I saw a bunch of the Tripwire/CC and only 1 Detstro/IG at different Walmarts.

I bought the Destro/IG gold head only.

[Firefly2121]

damn...I hope to find these soon...If anyone sees a Black IG Destro, please can you hook a brother up??? Or hide it for me than PM...I live in the SW area (Trop/Durango)...So a NW venture is not really in the cards..

[Firefly2121]

I saw a bunch of the Tripwire/CC and only 1 Detstro/IG at different Walmarts.

I bought the Destro/IG gold head only.

Thanks for the heads-up KB...

[Firefly2121]

Scored the 2 of the 3 comic packs today, left the NE/Falcon (I'll pick that one up later)...They also had 1x CC/Tripwire, NE/Falcon & IG/IG Destro (gold) at WM spring mtn after I took my set...this was at 1:00pm...

My hommie DB hooked me up with black head IG Destro/IG, he scored this at WM (patrick/eastern)...

[Kluster Bombs]

Great score Firefly!! All I need is the black head IG Destro. If anybody finds an extra please let me know.

Btw.. Im in the northern part of the city.

[Firefly2121]

Quiet again in the Vegas front...Love the DJ Iron Man Kluster...

[Firefly2121]

Picked up TRU Exclusives Crimson Guard 5 pack & FF v. greenshirts 5 Pack.

[Metroponok74]

I saw the crimson guard at tru flamingo and maryland today. I have an extra blackhead destro..... Nothin but peg warmers around here, waitin patiently for new stuff......come on new waves....Dying to see some rattlers over here!

[Kluster Bombs]

I havent found the new 5-packs yet. I still need the Black Head Destro comic pack.

[davewhitaker]

The wave 9 refresh cases with Flash, Rock N Roll and Major Bludd on white cards are hitting town if anyones needs those guys still... Saw them at Walmarts on Nellis/Craig and N. Decatur/215 this week.

[ManWithNoName]

I managed to get the Rattler and Conquest at Maryland/Flamingo Target this morning.

[davewhitaker]

Saw both 5 packs again today at TRU on Maryland/Flamingo, but the Conquest/Rattler at the Target there were gone...

[Firefly2121]

Im still on the hunt for the Rattler....Any help would be great.

[Firefly2121]

Hi Dave...welcome to the boards.

[Kluster Bombs]

I got a Rattler today finally. It looks a few stores got them in today.

[ManWithNoName]

Hey Vegas tankers, what do y'all think about having some kind of a get together, maybe lunch on a weekend and a couple of brews? I think it would be a good chance to network and get to know the people who will hopefully be able to help each other out. I trade regularly with some locals for SW stuff and with at least one joe collector in the area.

Thanks fine with me...I always try to get Star Wars collectors to meet here in Vegas (im on Rebelscum: Tusken Raiders)...

Anyways..I'll be down.

[Firefly2121]

Picked up both Planes last night at Target...Man, these are seriously cool. The Rattler was one of my 3 top favorite vehicles of all-time.

[Metroponok74]

I'd be down to hang out. just found a rattler at flamingo and maryland, went out for a bit today, saw nothing new, i saw someone got wave 10 out in cali.....

[Firefly2121]

Well..anymore news on a meet???

[ManWithNoName]

I'm down for pretty much any weekend day, and I do know about the rebelscum meets, FF (You've seen me there before, lol). I'll leave this up for a few more days to let the handful of Vegas collectors see it and respond to find out when and where is good, and we can go from there!

[Metroponok74]

So are we all on the lookout for wave 10, i've been all over and seen no clues yet lol, here we go again. I'm half tempted to go out now but fighting the urge since I know I'll find no wave ten.... or would I? Curses.... ;-)
I'll keep my eyes on this for the meet and greet.

[Firefly2121]

Im done with hunting...I ordered a couple of sets from BBTS, so IM covered. Now if I find a Para Viper or Invisible Wraith I would pick them up.

[Firefly2121]

Just pre-ordered Wave 13 from BBTS...If any of you pre-order would better get this quick, it will sell out for sure...

[Firefly2121]

Does anyone collect anything else other than Joes? I have a couple of McFarlane sportpicks Joe Montana & Willie Parker I was/am going to return, but if there are any collectors looking for this, I got them...

[starrcommand]

Are you guys having a get together this weekend? If you are I would like to join. I am heading to Vegas this weekend and if anyone is in the area that would like to get together shoot me a PM. BTW I am from Maryland.

Later
Dave

[Firefly2121]

Welcome to the board Joe...I think were all new to this board as well. COngrats on the baby, your first?

Still no wave 10 for me, but I ordered mine through BBTS and they will get thiers next week and should be getting them within the next 2 weeks.

[ManWithNoName]

[Firefly2121]

Cool congrats Joe...I had my first (& only) 2 years ago and its tough and expensive...Just train them young not to get into your stuff...

[ManWithNoName]

Walmart at Centennial Hills has Wave 2 & 3 vehicles. I got the only Fang/Claw they had, but there were at least 2 each of the Firebat and Desert AWE Striker.

No local finds to speak of (though Centennial Hills Walmart did have a Mutt/Junkyard this morning). I got wave 10 thru BBTS and Wave 11 through cornerstore comics. I've had a good experience with them lately, they have gotten the waves in before anyone else and shipping from Anaheim only takes a day or 2 from when you order.

[ManWithNoName]

Meadows mall TRU has a bunch of SRO wave 2 as of today

[ManWithNoName]

Kohl's at 215/Durango has a decent amount of Wave 6 comic packs and some Wave 10.

Got wave 12 from Bbts this past Friday. Also big thanks to you no name for the heads up for the SRO packs. Picked up the Skyduster set.

[ManWithNoName]

As of late last night, Centennial Hills Walmart had a complete set of Wave 10 on the pegs.

[satanshollow]

Hey guys, I'm going to Vegas dec 21-25.

Just wondering if there are any places near the strip to get Joes. I'll be staying at the Monte Carlo. Thanks!
