Well just got back from evry store u can think of in my area and all i found was empty pegs. Oh and of course tons of the comic 2 packs and no not the new Wave 4. im so sick of this its getting me frustrated already i really just wanted a Major Blood or even a Spirit that im missing from Wave 7 but i guess that wont happen out here. I wish i could say id stop hunting but the thrill of trying to find these things i guess is part of the fun.

Well just thought id let you guys hear my horror story of the day im sure u all been down this road before.

oh and times are so bad i bought a second buzzer oh and u wont belive this another Cobra Commander "wow" i must be nuts lol

they were the only two single carded figures i found today after searching a bunch of stores.

They restocked here on monday and although all of the wave 8 stuff is gone, there are plenty of wave 7's, including Spirit. PM me if you want me to pick some up for a trade or a sale (actual cost + actual shipping).

And to double the injury, gas prices don't favor the hunters either. The worst feeling is to spend $20 worth of gas driving around and come up empty. At that rate, lightly inflated ebay prices are almost a bargain - especially if you are only hunting one or two figures.

Do you cross over to NJ for some hunting?

My local Target has several cases of wave 7 and some Crimson Guards, Stalkers, and Fireflys as of this morning. They've been sitting there all weekend.

Let me know what you're interested in. I'll sell for cost plus actual shipping. That means for every multiple of $25, I can save you $5 with the Target coupon.

I understand completly, I haven't seen any new joes in over a month, and the last time Wal-Mart restocked we got loads of wave 5, I hate times like this, these dry spells are great to save money and all, but I'm ready to find comic packs and waves 7&8.

I hit a local Target yesterday and was able to get 2 more wave 8 Python Troopers & 2 more Parka SE's, as they had 2 complete sets of wave 8. Hit the same store today and minus the fig's I got yesterday, the rest of wave 8 is just sitting. WM's are pretty dry though.

Now i think the suply curve has met the demand curve. It appears that Joes are bountiful and all is well in hissland.

I, in the last two days, have walked by shelves thta have all sorts of joes. Maybe it was just that time of day.

Not in my neck of the woods. I have been to two WalMarts that had gotten rid of the Comic Pack pegs all together, the manager at one said they were not carrying them anymore. I have seen some peg warmers as well as a couple of revision waves, but no sign of wave 8 or wave 4 Comic Packs after extensive hunting for the last week. It is beginning to look like the poor Viper is the new peg warmer, I have seen several hanging on nearly barren shelves along with several v3 Snake Eyes. Nobody is less desirable than Buzzer who I regularly see at least 6 of holding down the fort in otherwise empty Joe sections. Glad to hear other parts of the world are bountiful, nothing but dissapointment here.

I know around my part the stores seem to stock the shelves one day a week for each particular brand. Every thursday i can almost guarantee a new set of figs. Last two weeks wave 8 with some wave sevens mixed in. I don't have to far to go to hunt I pass two wally's and a target on the way to work, and a TRU on the way home. If you can find the pattern it does help. the other thing is you may have to go at early hours to get a hold of them. These things are almost as bad as the hot wheels. Some of the car collectors are starting to get a hold of other toys and selling them as well. It is tough, but you have to beat them at there own game!
