I found a bunch of waves 1,2 and 3 in the Toys "R" Us across from the Granite Run Mall in Media(I think its considered Media) PA. It is the first time I have seen anything there besides the 5-packs. Up until a few days ago, they still had the old comic packs in that spot. I picked up Stalker, Firefly, and Shipwreck, and left a bunch of troopers, red ninjas, Zartan's, and the one Flint that was there.Oh, and plenty of Buzzer's still left. No sign of the new comic packs, or waves 4 or 5 yet.

I've been scouting Harleysville, Montgomeryville, Boyertown, Norristown and Plymouth for weeks now. I looted the Norristown Wal-Mart of what little Wave 5 they had. 2 Guards, Flash, & Snow-Job. I can't figure out when the release dates are for the waves of vehicles, singles, and comic packs. GIJoe.com is pretty much useless.

I picked up wave 3 comic packs at the KB in the Springfield mall today, looks like there was another whole set there. On a side note, it was the first time I didn't feel like some creep asking a question about when they get shipments, he was pretty cool, saying they ship when they need to be restocked, so the more we buy, the more they send with each shipment(or something like that) obviously right, but this time he actually encouraged buying of whole cases, wow, they actually are happy when stuff gets snapped up........with this being said, I only generaly buy one of each that I like, and later on I pick up extras if I have any custom ideas.

I picked up wave 3 comic packs at the KB in the Springfield mall today, looks like there was another whole set there. On a side note, it was the first time I didn't feel like some creep asking a question about when they get shipments, he was pretty cool, saying they ship when they need to be restocked, so the more we buy, the more they send with each shipment(or something like that) obviously right, but this time he actually encouraged buying of whole cases, wow, they actually are happy when stuff gets snapped up........with this being said, I only generaly buy one of each that I like, and later on I pick up extras if I have any custom ideas.
Kb shipping, when needed to be re-stocked, is not always true.If the warehouse has it, then they "might" get more...pending on whats sold.
Also, of course they encourage you to buy the whole case...kb wants and needs sales...they would sell you 5 cases if they had them to sell.Kb does not limit any kind of purchase of any sort (very rarely, they'll limited some purchases)

I recently picked wave 7 figures Snake-Eyes, Flag Duke, 2 Vipers, Hiss Driver, and Wild Bill. They had about 2 cases of wave 7, and some older ones like Lady Jaye, Scarlett, Airbourne Elite Trooper, and Cobra Trooper.
Oddly enough though, they were not on a peg, they were stacked on a shelf behind the regular action figure aisle (More near where the Lego stuff is shelved.)
The usual spot where the Joes are kept had been taken down and Indiana Jones figures and Iron Man had taken the space.
And also, they did not have any Wave 7 Spirit figures. Which I thought was odd because they nearly had 2 of everyone else, 4 of the figures that come 2 to a case.
Which means since there are 2 spirits in the case, someone purchased just 2 Spirits and basically left everything else.
I picked up the wave, now I only need Spirit.

You guys need to be at the stores when the doors open.... most places are only getting one case, which is 8 figures. That means one, maybe two, of each figure at the most.
I know from reports on other boards that most Wal-Marts and Targets in Montco received Wave 7 on at least 2 occasions. For example, the new super center Wal Mart in Willow grove had wave 7 on Wed and Fri, the Wal Mart in Hilltown had wave 7 2 weeks agom, and this Thursday.
The new waves go very quick and most people buy what they see to make full sets. None of us can expect to find these at 4 in the afternoon anymore! Sucks.
This is why I order cases from wholesalers.

Allentown, Easton, Bethlehem, Stroudsburg/Poconos areas are heating up in Northeast pennsylvania.
Recently spotted at Wal-Mart/Target stores thru-out each location in past 3 days...
2 wave 7 snake eyes,
2 wild bills,
2 HISS driver,
1 Flag Duke,
2 Vipers
0 Spirit (which I am getting P.O'd about because I know I am just missing him when I walk in the door)
Others
5 Serpentors
5 Hooded CC
3 Cobra Troopers
2 Buzzer
2 Lady Jaye
3 Scarlett
1 Beachhead
1 Rock n' Roll
1 Snow Job
1 Torpedo
1 Crimson Guard
1 Cobra Airborne Trooper
1 Cobra Commander single carded (from the 5 pack)
And at TRU in Allentown about 3 weeks ago, off Grape Street... 4 of each TRU exclusive Nightwatch Troops and Ninja Battle packs. 8 total.
I know 3 weeks is a long time past to be posting this, but if you know the area, it takes them 3 weeks from Hasbro to JOE shipping, to the stock room, to the shelves. Grape street TRU is SLOW AS MOLASSES with everything they do.
They also cannot keep people employed there, from what I have heard, from the video game counter guy. Which means Product getting to the sales floor is even slower because they are under staffed.
P.S- Big shout out to my girlfriend for picking up most of wave 7 for me, sans SPIRIT, of course. But got 2 vipers.
P.P.S-And yeah, she thinks I am weird for taking inventory on my little notepad, of which stores have what, and making her carry a list in her purse of what I don't have/need for my collection.
P.P.P.S- I make my parents carry a list of what I don't have/need also.

Attention NJ & Eastern PA Tankers: I have confirmation that the Phillipsburg NJ store had tons of Wave 7 & 8 yesterday. My best friend was there, and confirmed this for me. He has my debit card now and strict instructions to buy up what he sees. I'm trying guys...

Robinson Walmart and Target had some wave 8 - it was picked pretty bare by the time I got there. But I picked up Cobra Commander, Baroness, Roadblock and the wave 8 carded Viper, in addition to a comic 2-pack Shipwreck and Copperhead. I was really surprised to find anything at Target - they hadn't had anything new for months, and I quit going there altogether. There were still a few single cards at both places, with some wave 7 Snake Eyes and Viper. Walmart still has an abundance of wave 1-3 comic 2-packs. TRU hasn't had anything new since wave 6.

Found wave 4 comic packs at wal-mart in New Castle. I picked up 1 of each. There was still an FF & SS pack and a SW & CH pack left.

I am actively searching for wave 8 Snake Eyes - MOMC. If any of you fellow tankers come across him, can you pm me, please. I live in the Pittsburgh area, and I would greatly give you a few extra dollars for your time and effort if you would grab one for me.
Thanks.

Attention Pennsylvania Joe collectors...I wish to start a thread of all of those in or around the Pittsburgh area whom wish to start keeping an eye out for each others want or needs. Simply put, if you are interested, PM me or respond to this thread and we can create a local group who can shop or look for for fellow tankers when you are out. If you see a joe that someone needs, purchase it for them and then arrange a mutual meeting spot to exchange the goods. It would even be reasonable to add a finders fee (say a buck or two) if you guys feel like that would help. None the less, we watch each others back, get our product, and save our selves ant extra aggravation while doing so.

I usually check out the Robinson area twice a week, and I check out Washington every other week. This afternoon, there were a few Ranking Officer packs at TRU today, and Walmart is (and has been) stocked with wave 1-3 comic packs at Robinson. Not much else right now. Like everyone else, I'm sure, I'm looking for wave 8singles and wave 4 comic packs.

I'll keep looking - I'm trying to find one for myself also, but if I come across any, I'll PM you.

sounds like a good idea, wish I were closer that I could help out more, but if anyone is having real problems finding something just tell me and I can help. I only come down to the Blairsville area every two weeks, but I can still help

Punxsy Walmart is still a troop builders dream, earlier today they had
1 jetpack trooper
1 normal trooper

I'm down in Morgantown, that's only an hour or so away. We have lots of wave 7, and I've missed a case of wave 7 at 2 different locations. Need TF Flint, Major Bludd, and Roadblock, as well as the wave 4 comic packs.

Damn - I needed those, and all they had left when I got there were wave 7 dukes, spirits, vipers, wave 8 cobra commanders, and the same bunch of waves 1-3 comic packs. At least there's stuff on the shelf now.

Any chance of getting something like this going for the Eastern part of PA? I live in Lancaster (about an hour and a half west of Philly and 45 minutes east of Harrisburg. My best friend is a TF collector and has been a HUGE help to me spotting and grabbing the joes I'm needing, but it would be really cool to get to know some other collectors in my neck of the woods.

I went to Washington this morning, and there was not really anything new. I picked up a wave 8 Roadblock at Target, and a Zartan at Walmart. TRU had nothing new - a bunch of Buzzers, Cobra Commanders, Cobra Troopers and Cobra Air Troopers. All had plenty of waves 1-3 comic packs.

Finally able to post on the network here...I found 2 sets of Wave 8 at Toys R Us in Monaca!
I bought both sets. Available for sale (retail + $1.00) or trade, for my fellow PA Tankers.

Sorry guys, Im not a scalper I just collect them. There were only 8 or nine figures there so I grabbed them. Some are for my friends. I thought this forum was for that very reason. I look in the Philly area a few times a week looking to complete my collection. Wave 8 has been very hard to find so when I saw them, I took them.

I might have jumped to conclusions. I thought you bought 4 cases worth. I just am sick of scalpers buying up every thing for a profit. Sorry if I came off like a dick. Welcome to hisstank by the way.

that's fine, it's just when I was there they had a lot of figures and you said you bought them all, it just sounded like you got a couple of cases, you know, to sell (like a scalper) :)

Kmart in Cannonsburg area had a couple of Crimson Guard. TRU in Washington has a bunch of wave 6 reissues (unfortunatley, no Firefly or Zartan), Ranking Officer packs, and 2 Cobra Legion 5 packs (for $29!). And everywhere around here has buttloads of wave 1-3 comic packs. Why aren't these going on clearance to make room for new?

I am up in Northeast PA, the Scranton area, if anyone else is up this way. I usually get figure preorders quicker than they show in stores, but I do get out once a week to every other week to see what's on the shelves of the major stores. Twice though waves have hit TRU and Target faster than they ship online.
