[Apeiron]

Congrats, Icewolf.

How much do the vehicles cost with tax at Wal-Mart?

[Fingers]

Hey guys, seen any wave 9 up north? Its nice to find some other Joe collectors here in Maine. I usually hit the stores in the Mall area, Falmouth Walmart and Biddeford.

[slowrey]

i have found one wave 9 figure so far it was storm shadow

Thanks alot buddy!

And the only thing I have seen was new spots for the dvd packs and vehicles at target but nothing has been put out yet. I have seen some wave 9 figs. But have never seen a BAT! Grrr

[slowrey]

u will have the time of your life with your new baby what wave 9 have u seen i need Snow Serpent, B.A.T.hawk and boozka

[Lifeline 71]

The vehicles are 15.49 each, including tax. I haven't seen any wave 9 figs at all, barely saw any wave 8 figs. No Baronness, Maj. Bludd, or TF Flint. As far as kids go, I became an "instant daddy" to a 10 year old when I got married 4 yrs. ago. He's now a sophomore and nearly as big as me!

[Apeiron]

Thanks for the cost, Lifeline.
I only saw a wave 8 figure once, My Cobra Commander w/ element, and I haven't seen Wave 9. Hopefully I'll come across the wave 8, after looking at the wave again online that thing happens where I want them all. Especially Roadblock for his gun.

[Lifeline 71]

Roadblock's gun is pretty cool. It's a slightly modified version of the one that came w/ the DTC SAW Viper, and that version comes with the Hulkbuster figures (I got them mainly for the extra weapons). I forgot to mention that my Clutch did not come with any accessories-gun, knife (?), helmet, or stand. I noticed the other vehicle drivers I saw didn't have helmets, either. I wonder if they've been so rushed into production that these little details are being left out.

[Apeiron]

I just got back from taking the Bus to Wal-Mart. I was shocked by the size of the BMF. I knew it was huge, but I didn't imagine that huge. If I'm lucky I can get it tomorrow and hopefully Captain Rex so I can keep the mail in one in package. I was disappointed out of all the stuff they put out there didn't seem to be a V-19 Torrent Fighter.
They still had the Black H.I.S.S. tank, R.A.M. vs Trouble Bubble, and Armadillo vs Serpentor's Chariot. I grabbed the H.I.S.S. and plan to go back for the R.A.M. vs Trouble Bubble tonight or tomorrow. Still no sign of new figures.
I'm glad I'm not a MoC collector, it's raining like mad here and one end of the box got soaked and most of it got bent up with me trying to keep it out of the rain as much as possible.

I never got to own any of these vehicles that have been released so far for the line beyond the S.H.A.R.C as a kid so it's cool to get a chance to own them now. Before this the only H.I.S.S. I had was the H.I.S.S. IV. I love this vehicle and hope to see more in the area so I can get at least one more, and I can't wait for the Ultimate Battle Pack as well now for the red one. I haven't applied the stickers yet since I needed to get lunch, but I can't wait to.

[Fingers]

Well if any of you guys are willing to travel south the Scarborough Walmart just got repacks of wave 9. I was in there last night and scored one BAT, they were totally out of Snow Serpents, but had multiples of the rest. They also have a few of those new roadblocks as well. Im still looking for the Trouble Bubble set, the vehicles have been scarce down here.

[slowrey]

Apeiron i just got my mail away rex today is it the same as the one in the store?

[Apeiron]

Apeiron i just got my mail away rex today is it the same as the one in the store?

I believe it's the same. As far as I know the mail in figure has clean paint job and the fold out diorama packaging while the store release has a dirty paint job and the extra weapon.

[slowrey]

ok thanks

[Apeiron]

Auburn Wal-Mart has Wave 9.
When I got there they had 1-2 Gen. Hawk, 1x Barbecue, and 2x Bazooka.
I grabbed 1 of each, but gave the Gen. Hawk back to the cashier when I didn't have enough. They also put out wave 7 Wild Bills and the Scuba guy(name escapes me at the moment)
I also got one of the Falcon's, and the Armadillo vs Serpentor's Chariot.

[slowrey]

im going down there saturday hope there still there

[IceWolf]

Found Hawk, Barbecue, Bazooka, Ninja Ku amd Snow Serpent tonight! I am never gonna snag a BAT! I also "hid" duplicates of these figs. So I can go back for any tankers.

[slowrey]

i need hawk,bazooka,snow serpent

[IceWolf]

i need hawk,bazooka,snow serpent


What kind of card condition do you want? And Do u want to trade or buy?

[slowrey]

i open mine so any condition buy have nothing to trade i am going to target in augusta sat so i will look and see if there is anymore dvd packs for ya and i will see if any of the vehicles are left in auburn

[Apeiron]

Unless they stock more vehicles tonight there are none left at the Auburn Wal-Mart. I bought the H.I.S.S and Armadillo vs Air Chariot, and someone else had bought the R.A.M. vs Trouble Bubble before I could get there again.
I was surprised to see Wave 9 figures. I was expecting Wave 8 to show up again and not Wave 9. I've only seen Wave 8 once at the Auburn Wal-Mart, and only just Cobra Commander which sucks. Hopefully Wave 8 will show up again and wave 9 doesn't end up like that at the Auburn Wal-Mart.

[Lifeline 71]

I just got back from Wal Mart. I found Bazooka earlier this afternoon and Hawk tonight. No other wave 9 figs and no vehicles by the time I left. The only wave 8 figs i saw and snagged were Arctic Snake Eyes and urban warfare Roadblock. They had Python officer and CC at one time or another, but I didn't get them.

[Fingers]

The wave 9 at Scarborough WM was totally cleaned out except the repacks. Thankfully I got to a fresh repack at the Biddeford WM and scored 4 bats and 3 snow serpents. I think Im going to save one of the bats for a trade but Im still deciding what to do with him.I still need to find that trouble bubble set.

Oh and Ill be moving up north in a week. Got a new place in Winthrop. so Ill be shopping in the Augusta area. Hope I wont be invading anyones territory. Ill still be working down In Falmouth, so the mall wont be too far away but Ill probably be saying goodbye to that Bidd WM thats been so good for me lately.

[slowrey]

i will be like 15 min from u i live i Livermore falls i use too work at the walmart in Augusta so i go there all the time the 4 that i go to the most is Mexico,Farmington,Augusta,and waterville

[IceWolf]

You. guys are lucky I only have 2 WalMArts within driving distance. I have a TArget , Kmart and TRU also but they are good for alomost nothing. lol

[Fingers]

Hey Slowrey how has their stock been?

[IceWolf]

Was in Rockland today, hit the Walmart...nothing! Although they did have some new Transformers in!

[Apeiron]

I had to wait till around 6:30 PM to hit the Rockland Wal-Mart. I thought about getting Blaster from Transformers: Universe, but decided to wait till it gets to Auburn as I need the money for other stuff.

[slowrey]

Hey Slowrey how has their stock been?
sometime there really good and sometime there bad bad but my friend runs toys in Augusta and he collects toys too so toys has got alot better in the past month

[IceWolf]

That's funny! Probably about the same time I was there! I don't remember anyone in the toy aisle though. Do you? Did you enjoy the lobster festival? We had a good time.

[Apeiron]

That's funny! Probably about the same time I was there! I don't remember anyone in the toy aisle though. Do you? Did you enjoy the lobster festival? We had a good time.

I remember one guy in the action figure aisle when my brother came through there looking for me. I didn't really pay much attention to what the other guy was doing as we had only a few minutes at the store.
I enjoyed the Lobster Festival except for when some kid in a fire truck was shooting water into the crowd and I got hit. I was annoyed by it because I didn't have a shirt to change into and I wasn't going to be able to change until at least 9 pm. Thankfully the shirt dried before the end of the parade while I wore it.

I went to the Auburn Mall and Wal-Mart about a half hour ago. KB Toys hasn't put out anything. I might go back for the Cobra Troopers they have if Wal-Mart has nothing new by Wednesday.
Wal-Mart has in the Wave 4 Comic Packs. 1 Storm Shadow vs Firefly, 2 Duke vs Red Star, and 2 Copperhead vs Shipwreck.

[IceWolf]

Did you see a pregnant lady? lol I have glasses and was wearing a red t-shirt. I remember now seeing a guy wearing a gijoe tee at the festival andf I was gonna comment nice shirt but he was moving too fast past me.

[Axelay]

Howdy. I'm visiting the Great State of Maine and have been visiting a few stores in the Brunswick/Topsham/Portland area. At the Super Wal-Mart I found Hawk, Barbecue, Bazooka, and a Snow Serpent. No BAT. They did also have 2 Ninja-Ku, but their cards were really bent up badly. At Newbury Comics in Portland, they have both of the DVD packs, but they're marked at $30 apiece.

[Apeiron]

I don't remember seeing either a pregnant woman or someone in a red shirt there. I was wearing my Indiana Jones Fedora, my glasses, and a Batman T-Shirt, my brother had on a black Jay and Silent Bob shirt. During the parade we were sitting near the Hot Dog place, I forget how to spell the name. I think it's Wassus or Wasses.
Next month me, my sister, and my mother are planning to head out to Hersey, Penn for a few days. I'm thinking of reading some of the state sighting threads before we leave once I find out what route we're taking so I can find some stuff while on the trip.

Thanks for the heads up. I hope you enjoy your visit to Maine.

[Lifeline 71]

I went to the Auburn Wal Mart late monday night and they had all the vehicle packs. I snagged the Armadillo/Air Chariot and it did have all of Steeler's gear. no new single pack figures, though.

[Apeiron]

I grabbed the Vamp from the Auburn Wal-Mart today. They still have the R.A.M. vs trouble bubble and the H.I.S.S.
I've got a question on the Vamp's figure. He is Clutch like the stand says, or double clutch like the package says?

[Fingers]

The correct name is Clutch but I dont think Hasbro had the rights to use it on the box front for some reason. I still need that trouble bubble set, but I dont know if Ill be able to make it up to Auburn this week, I have to spend this week packing. Also for anyone looking the Falmouth WM had the DVD packs out last night, 2 each.

[Apeiron]

I forgot to put in my last post that KB Toys still has the same figures as my last visit, and all K-Mart has is 2 Vipers, Sigma 6 stuff, and the G.I. Joe 5 pack.
I need to get the R.A.M. vs Trouble Bubble as well, but I don't think I can get one for two weeks as I need to buy a present for my uncle and start saving for my trip.

[Lifeline 71]

I had achance to go to Topsham and Brunswick tonight. The only thing I saw was a Ninja-Ku, definitely a pass for me. The Auburn WM still has the same things as it did earlier.

[Apeiron]

I got paid more then I expected today so I went to go buy the R.A.M. vs Trouble Bubble at the Auburn Wal-Mart which I ended up buying. When I get there before I can even get to the vehicles I notice sitting on the shelf new product. 1 of each of the DVD Entertainment Packs of the first two..
If I hadn't been there for groceries as well I would have picked up one of them instead. They still had them when I left the store. No new figures or comic packs, and they still have the H.I.S.S. tank.

[slowrey]

went to Mexico and Farmington today nothing new

[Lifeline 71]

WM still had the DVD packs earlier, but no vehicles.

[slowrey]

ok my walmart by me in Farmington just put out 3 cases of wave 9 so i picked up the bazooka and hawk i needed and 1 snow serpent and 3 bats there was like 2 snow's 2 hawk 2 bazookas 3 stormys 3 bbq 3 wild bills 3 torpedoes left plus from the older packs there where 2 cc with mass part 6 vipers 1 cc armor but no new 2 packs just the old ones so i guess 8-8-08 is a lucky day i should of went to more stores might of found more so if i was u guts go looking u might find something good

[IceWolf]

In case you guys don't see this in the other forum:


Went into my Target not expecting to find anything (i usually don't) walked down the action figure aisle and much to my surprise found the new 2 packs fresh on the pegs! I got the 3 regulars plus one Black Destro!

Anyways I walked up front to pay and looked for the cutest cashier (i always do) lol and as she was ringing me up she said: "Oh WOW GIJOE's! I havn't seen these in ages I didnt know we sold these!"

I was quite surprised obviously, so I replied "yeah GIJOE is back with new toys"

And she replied "the COOL things always come back!"

And I said "if you think thats cool there is a new live action movie coming out next year!"

And her mouth dropped and she said "No way! I cant wait to check that out! Have an awesome day" And I said thanks and left.

Very cool and she was completly serious. So hopefully I got Hasbro a new fan/customer today. And to top it off she was MEGA HOT!! So pretty cool chat I thought!


Plus my Walmarts/Target got the dvd packs but still no vehicles. Grrr!!!

[Apeiron]

I went to the Auburn Mall and Wal-Mart today. Nothing new at KB or WM, though someone left a mess with the G.I. Joes.
I'm hoping they still have Rock 'N Roll when I get the money to buy him, I'm going to need him if I can get a second R.A.M. vs Trouble Bubble.

Awesome find. I hope they end up dropping in my area soon as I want a couple of the IG figure. I'm glad they did a variant so I can semi-justify it to myself on buying two of the pack.
Did you refer her to the Tank or are you going to hog her all to youself? lol

[IceWolf]

I should of that would of been cool!

[Lifeline 71]

Great work, Ice Wolf! I found the vehicles at the Auburn KMart today, and snagged the RAM/Trouble Bubble set. Apeiron, from what I've seen, you should have no problems geting that extra Rock'n'Roll at WM; he's kind of a peg warmer now.

[Lifeline 71]

Slowrey, it sounds like you're having better luck than I am finding a Barbecue. Any way you could snag me one, then we can meet to exchange $ for figure? Let me know if this works.

[slowrey]

i will try for ya i new i should of snagged more than one

[Fingers]

Well I'm all moved in and got the internet back up today. I checked Wm and Target here in Augusta this weekend, nothing new with Joes. Just wave 4's the DVD packs and no vehicles anywhere. I even stopped off at Topsham Target on the way up Saturday and they had the same thing. I still need one more snow Serpent and the Trouble Bubble. I dont know if any of you collect Marvel legends but the Target here has a couple of the Foom series.

[slowrey]

fingers now your just 15-20 min from me depends on how fast u drive i need to go to Farmington to get lifeline a bbq so if u want come up to liv fls and i will ride up with ya to the Farmington walmart so i can get him his bbq and u can get your snow serpent i left 2 snow serpents there

[IceWolf]

[IceWolf]

oh ok lol ya i have heard of it. like i said wish i was closer. i cant belive theres no more bangor tankers on here....

[Lifeline 71]

I'm just glad there's others from Maine on here in the first place. Slowrey, thanks for your help. I really appreciate it!

[slowrey]

haven't got there yet but i will hook u up don't worry I'm on a mission

[Lifeline 71]

Swet! Thanks a bunch!! Like I said a few posts back, a bunch of us should try to get together and go on a hunt one day. I think it'd be kinda cool.

[slowrey]

yes it would be

[phreakymtx]

I was in TRU in bangor tonight and picked up the Mass Device DVD pack, they had bazooka and hawk, but i'm still trying to find Barbecue and a Bat. (i work at KB in bangor but it's been forever since we got any new joes in)

Also... The stalker in my mass device set has the yellow based camo, is this a variant?

I don't think it's a variant, I think they intended for this one to be have yellow based camo.

welcome bangor tanker!!

[Lifeline 71]

Welcome to the 'tank, Phreakymtx! The Stalker in question is sort of a variant, as he was originally painted that way for the single card version, but they made a running change to give him the more comic-accurate colors. This one is how he looked in the cartoon.

[Fingers]

I had to go over to the cable office to swap a box out so I decided to stop at Walmart on the way back. I found something Ive never seen before. They put one case of wave 7 out and the Hiss driver was still on the peg. I was shocked and had to picked him up.

I complained about this over on fwoosh but since wave 7 hit I never found a Hiss driver and had to buy one on Ebay. I think Hasbro left him out of the refresher packs and that seemed to be the bulk of what hit down south for wave 7. My goal was to have 2 for my Army.

[slowrey]

ya my friend monty said he was going to put them out but i had all of them so i never gave it a second thought but i'm glad u found another one so u could have 2

[Apeiron]

While waiting to go see Tropic Thunder I stopped by the Auburn Wal-Mart, mall, and K-Mart. Wal-Mart put out 1-2 cases of Wave 7. I'm hoping it means we'll see wave 8 here again. No dvd packs or vehicles though.
KB toys at the mall had nothing new. I'm starting to wonder if they just stopped ordering the line.
K-Mart had a few Vipers and the Vamp and Armadillo vs Serpentor's Air Chariot.

[Fingers]

Oh yea I forgot about this with my moving, but Friday I made a stop over at the Maine Mall and TrU had filled a shelf row with vehicles, excitedly I pawed through them only to discover the only one missing was the damned trouble bubble set. Im stopping by the mall again tonight.

[Apeiron]

Turns out I was wrong yesterday about Wal-Mart only having what I mentioned.
I went back today because I needed Pigs Ears for the dogs to keep them from my toys and to buy Star Wars. I grabbed the two figures I wanted and checked G.I. Joe, finding the same stuff as yesterday.
I went to clearance next to see what they might have, finding nothing I wanted. I had a feeling I should go back to toys though and went back, turning the corner I notice under the section of the rack some Star Wars figures, so I check to see what they were but they were ones I didn't want.
This gave me an idea though. I went to G.I. Joe and looked under the rack, finding a bunch of figures. I find out they were wave 9, all of Wave 9 except Bazooka. I bought Ninja-Ku, B.A.T., and Snow Serpent and put the General Hawk and BBQ on the shelf. I would have gotten Hawk as well, but once more not enough cash to get him.
I'm going to have to check down there from now on. I wish I had thought of it sooner.
I'm kind of surprised by all the stuff underneath the shelfs, there was a few old stuff under there. Anyone who shops at the Auburn Wal-Mart might want to look under the shelf rack as well just in case the person does it again. I'm wondering if this is why I saw no Wave 8 beyond CC as well
I hope the person who hid them won't think a customer found his/her hiding spot as they'll probably try to hide them somewhere else if they do.

[Fingers]

I had a feeling I might want to stop at the Topsham Target on the way home tonight, and I was right, scored the trouble bubble set. Horay, they had a Vamp and a Hiss still. Looks like the got some wave 9 as well, there was only a Ku and a Torp left though.

[slowrey]

ya went to Farmington today and they put out another wave 9 and a wave 7 all that was left for wave 7 was snake eyes,spirit wave 9 had 4 snow serpents 3 hawks 3 bbq 3 bazookas 2 torpedos 2 wild bills 1 storm shadow and for the older stuff 8 vipers 1 armor cc 2 cc with mass 4 air trooper 1 flag duke and for 2 packs tons of old ones AND I GOT LIFELINE HIS GIFT oh and i pick up another bat just cant leave a bat behind

[fierce krypton]

Went to the fairly popular acworth wal mart and all the vehicles, BAt's and Serpents were gone, went to the Walmart in cartersville and ching ching on the figures, didnt see any vehicles but I didnt look much for em either! Anyways I grabbed a BAT and Serpent, the barbecue was so tempting but I just dont have enought dough for 3 guys at once.

[Apeiron]

Ended up back at Wal-Mart today as my family wanted to stop by there when we were all out there. They got in more vehicles, 1 R.A.M. vs Trouble Bubble, and 1 Armadillo vs Serpentor's Air Chariot.

[Fingers]

I think farmington is a little out of the way for me for only a Serpent. I might check the Augusta Target tonight.

[IceWolf]

Nabbed 2 hisstanks today and a Vamp.

[Fingers]

I discovered theres a K-mart here in Augusta, stopped in and they have a full vehicle set there and a few wave 7 on the pegs. Also a couple of sets of wave 4 comic packs including 2 Duke/October Guard sets in case anyone was still looking for them. I was tempted to buy a second ram set but held back as Im trying not to army build vehicles.

[Apeiron]

Was anyone at the Topsham Target today between 2:00 Pm and 2:30 PM? I ask because I saw someone there looking at the toys and we chated for a few seconds about the movie.
Anyways, I found a Ninja-Ku and a Lt.Torpedo hidden there and put them back on the pegs. Someone even hid a Destro vs Breaker two pack.
I regret not buying one of the Entertainment Packs that they had. I though there was a chance I might find something at the Brunswick Wal-Mart. Unfortunately all they had were old comic packs, a few Scarlets, and a Cobra Trooper. Hopefully they show up in Auburn again by Monday so I can get one.

[slowrey]

wow its Sunday and all is calm in Maine so when are we all going to meet we should find a spot where it's not to far for everyone or if someone has a minivan we all can chip in on gas and go to Bangor to meet ice wolf we cant leave him out so lets get this going i know lifeline wants to meet everybody we met and he is cool sh$$

[Apeiron]

I ended up picking up the M.A.S.S. Device set Sunday when I had to go with my family to Freeport and Topsham. I love this set. Watching the dvd was awesome as I don't remember ever seeing the mini-series.
Hopefully I find the Weather Dominator again during the week before I have to cut back on my Joe collecting, it'll be the last item above $10 I can get till sometime after the family Trip to Pennsylvania next month.
Due to the family trip I wouldn't be able to participate on a trip with members till late next month.

[Lifeline 71]

Thanks for the kudos, Slowrey! I'm okay with waiting a while for all of us to meet up, so I can get used to my work/school schedule.

[IceWolf]

Guess I am the black sheep, huh? lol Sorry I am so far away! I am sure we can arrange something we all agree on!

[IceWolf]

Went to Target today and just missed a BAT and SS. Guy said he had just put them out.
TRU had a VAMP and HISS Tank (still havnt seen a (Trouble Bubble 2 pack)
My regular Walmart had DVD packs. Dosn't look like they are getting ANY vehicles. (Thank goodness Target and TRU has them)

And I went to my last stop my SuperWalmart and came across a guy with a cart putting out Joes. I look on the pegs and nothing out yet. So I look at the cart and boxes say (wave 5/08) So I say BATS!! to my wife. lol We look for the guy and he is not around. I refuse to go through boxes without permission so we go grab what we need elsewhere and come back and i check the pegs again. He has put out 1 BAt and 1 SS. I go and look back at his cart to see he has unopened cases still. So i see him and ask if I can look through them. He says sure just whatever you dont want leave them in the cases because I have to take them back out back. So my wife and I pull out 3 more BATS and 3 more SS. So pretty cool haul I thought. Rest of the pegs were full with Wave 7 and 9 so plenty left for thr kids! And I thought today was gonna stink! Not too shabby, huh?

[slowrey]

great find wolf i knew u had a lot of good in u oh and guess what i got in the mail today wolf

[IceWolf]

Awesome!

[Lifeline 71]

Not much in the big city of Auburn tonight. BTW, Slowrey is an awesome dude, too! He snagged me Barbecue, who's been nearly impossible to find. Thanks, buddy!

[IceWolf]

Yes he is. But he is so stubborn! He wont let me return the favor! lol

[Fingers]

I stopped by the Mall last night after work, they had nothing new. Looks like TrU had a case of wave 9, just Bill and Torp left, also they had the serpentor/arm vehicle. No sign of the new army packs.

[IceWolf]

Hey guys see my thread, lets hope this is true and not returns. It would be awesome to find a Black timber though!

http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-toys-general-discussion/16836-wave-1-figures-new-post.html

[Apeiron]

The Auburn Wal-Mart has a dozen or so of the first two DVD Battle Packs and more vehicles, about 5-6 of those.
I got the Weather Dominator set and I finally found Darth Vader w/ removable helmet.
The Corps is trying to break into the 12" market as I noticed they had about 4-6 12" figures.

[Fingers]

Falmouth WM has 2 cases of vehicles out. Topsham Target has more wave 9, but all the Bats and SS are gone. Augusta Target sucks, too many wave 4 and wave 1 comic packs.

[Fingers]

Made the rounds today,
Augusta
K-Mart same stuff as last week.
Target is still a wasteland of 7 month old figs.
Walmart same except they look to have had wave 9, they had one Wildbill.
I took a trip to Waterville
Walmart had a couple vehicles, wave 1 and 2 comics, dvd packs and the new repack wave of singles, so I got another Python Patrol I had missed the first time, another Hiss driver and 3 Artic Snakeyes to kit bash a couple cutoms out of.
Kmart had the same stuff the Augusta one did, but I decided to pick up one more Hiss tank.

[IceWolf]

Yep same here made the rounds:

Brewer Walmart: Nothing new (but i did score those 3 bats and 3 ss last week so i forgive them! lol)
Bangor Walmart: Picked up a revision hiss driver and cobra phython trooper
Target: Wave 7 blahness
Kmart: Nothing new for WEEKS
TRU: Lots of new space but nothing yet. I left a VAMP on the shelf and grabbed the last HISS tank.

[Apeiron]

Just got back from the Auburn Wal-Mart. Me and my brother got in our stimulus checks so we decided to get a PS3 w/ MSG4(Leant that game to my uncle though so my bro could borrow GTA4).
While there I stopped at Toys and they have Wave 8 Revision in. They only had Python Patrol Officer, the Roadblock from the wave, and Tiger Force Flint.
They also had some vehicles in and some of the first 2 DVD entertainment packs.

[Lifeline 71]

Yeah, the Auburn WM still has most of the figures Apeiron described. I did snag a Baroness and TF Flint yesterday, though.

[Fingers]

I made the rounds over at the Mall, found Nothing. TrU moved the Joe area, and the pegs have only 2 wild bills on them, no sign of any comic packs, or the new troop packs. Target is still empty, Walmart had a couple of the new wave 8 repack. Im about to give up on that area and just hit TrU when they decide to get their exclusives. The on thing I did pick up was another Hiss at Falmouth Wm for the custom contest.

[Fingers]

Stopped by the Topsham Target yesterday, no sign of the comic packs, but they put out even more wave 9, they only had one SS, no bats, lots of the others. Someone is cleaning up on SS and Bats over there.

[slowrey]

went to tru thursday and picked up one of the 2 packs nemesis/falcon they have all three but that is the only one i wanted when i left there was one more nem/fal and 2 trip/commander and 2 destro/iron but no black head

[Fingers]

Which TrU?
Well I assume you meant the Maine Mall one as I stopped by and got a Tripwire set, no Falcons left :(

[slowrey]

ya sorry yes it was portland

[slowrey]

Sunday Sunday Sunday how is everybody's labor day weekend going

[Fingers]

So far so good, I plan on having a relaxing day. Hoping more wave 5 comic packs show up somewhere soon. I scored big on Friday with superhero figs, found a full case of DCUC wave 3 at Topsham Target, and a full case of the new marvel Red Hulk wave at the Augusta Target.

[slowrey]

went to oxford on monday all they had was 1 hiss driver 1 roadblock v2 1 python viper and 1 duke with flag

[Apeiron]

Checked the Auburn Wal-Mart Monday but and the Auburn K-Mart Friday and saw nothing new at either one.

[Fingers]

Hey guys I posted pics of my collection over in the pictures thread in case you were interested.

http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-real-american-hero-modern-toys/725-post-your-25th-anniversary-figure-pics-here-173.html

[slowrey]

very nice fingers

[Apeiron]

Nice collection, Fingers.
I hope to be able to post pictures of my collection eventually. All I have for a camera though is a cell phone, and it's not that great.

Nothing new at the Auburn Wal-Mart, K-Mart, or KB Toys.
Anyone seen any signs of the Rattler and/or Conquest?

[slowrey]

nope not yet ive been checking these 2 sights http://www.schumanfamily.com/fatwallet/targetasin.php?ie=UTF8&title=&zipcode=04254&asin=B0016AJBXK+&dcpi=&searchButton=search&sessionID=602-8323254-2867050

http://www.target.com/gp/store-info/find-target-store.html?asin=

B0016ALHD2 id for rattler
B0016AJBXK id for conquest

[Fingers]

I plan on calling around with the dcpi #, it worked great for the dvd packs when they first hit. I had to make a return over at the mall so I stopped at the usual suspects, Target actually had something new, comic packs. I was able to finally get a Falcon set. No black Destro though. TrU had nothing new, no sign of the new army packs.

[Apeiron]

Anyone find the Rattler and Conquest yet?
I just got home from the Auburn Wal-Mart. They had in Wave 5 Comic Packs, but they all but sold out by the time I got there. I grabbed the last one, CC vs Tripwire.
They are putting out pallets tonight so there might be more stuff tomorrow. I only saw Indiana Jones toys out of the Hasbro products, but I didn't look too much as there were a lot of employees around.

Was the mine detector warped on anyone's else Tripwire?
Tripwire is awesome despite the warping of the mine detector. I like the little mines on his backpack.
I like how the CG body was used for this one. A nice change from the regular suit. I think they should have done something with the holster on the left left though since there is no gun for it, either make it into a pocket or remove it and fill in the hole.
Until the upcoming "Best Of" Cobra Commander with shiny mask comes out this one will stand before the main cobra troops on my stand.

It kind of sucks the new stuff is finally hitting shelves here as my trip is Friday and I can't spend too much of my cash as I'm saving it for whatever I might find out of state.

[IceWolf]

nope no rattler or conquest yet in bangor

[slowrey]

last thing i picked up was a sgt flash so if any of u guys need it its yours i dont need it

[Lifeline 71]

So,Apeiron, you're the one who snagged that CC/Tripwire pack! I just couldn't make myself get it, since Trippy's just not one of my fave characters and I don't need another CC. I'll hold out for the Falcon/Nemesis Enforcer pack. BTW Apeiron, did you get a Rock'n'Roll for yourself? It looks like they have plenty!

[Apeiron]

I'd offer to buy the Sgt.Flash as I still need him, but I'm leaving the state the day after tomorrow and I may not have any money when I get back and if that's the cash I won't have cash for 2 or 3 weeks.

I haven't picked up a second Rock 'N' Roll or R.A.M. yet. Where I've been saving up money for this weekend's trip I haven't had much cash to spare for toys this month beyond two IJ toys and the comic two pack. I'm thinking of waiting to get a second Rock 'N' Roll till that comic pack with him comes out.
I'm hoping I can come across the Target and TRU exclusives and the last few retail figures I want while out of state.

[Apeiron]

I just got back from Auburn and at Wal-Mart the pegs are full. They had 2x of Gen. Hawk, Ninja-Ku, Major Bludd, Sgt. Flash, Snow Serpent, Bazooka, BBQ, and B.A.T.s., countless Rock 'N' Rolls, and 1 Wave 4 CC for single cards, and then 1 of each of the new comic packs(except for the Black helmet Destro, none of him).
I ended up seeing the B.A.T.s first and ended up getting paid a bit more then I was expecting at work so I figured I'd grab one, then I came across Bludd and Flash so I grabbed those two instead.
I almost grabbed either the Nemesis Immortal vs Lt.Falcon or the IG Destro with IG Trooper, but decided against it as I still needed the rest of this morning's cash towards this weekend's trip and that I may end up regretting if I did. If it was the Black Helmet Destro variant then I would have gotten it.

[Lifeline 71]

We must have just missed each other,Apeiron. I was at WM that morning and snagged the Falcon/Nemesis Enforcer pack, a BAT, Snow Serpent, and Maj. Bludd. This was a great pick-me-up, as I was kind of bummed since I was having a hard time with one of my classes. I left the store with my wallet lighter but much happier:)

[Fingers]

The Target website showed the Jets in limited stock in Topsham, South Portland and Biddeford this AM. I called all 3 and they all said the same thing, the computer showed 2 in stock but they actually didnt have any. Either they came and went first thing this am, and the computer didnt update or something was screwy with the stock numbers.

[Apeiron]

I was there at 10 am. What time were you there, Lifeline? Normally when I go I catch the 9:45 am bus there so that's about the time I can be found there, mostly every other Wednesday or Thursday.

I'm in Penn right now, my sister brought her lap top so I can check my mail and stuff. I found great stuff on the way down. Parka Snake Eyes and Blue Baroness, plus I got the regular Destro IG w/ IG Trooper. I think I finally have all the single card figures now, excluding repacks of the original 10 figures from the first 2 5 packs and exclusives.

[slowrey]

well i was there if where talking about Thursday and i did pick up the trip/com just picked up 2 more bats today in farmington target and walmart in Augusta had nothing new

[Fingers]

Falmouth WM had the new wave 9 repack, but no bats or serpents left. They did have a Major Bludd still.

[Lifeline 71]

I was at WM closer to 11-11:30. My class got out around 10:45, so I stopped in on my way home.

[slowrey]

went to Mexico walmart today got another bat today i have this motto never leave a bat behind hey lifeline did ya do any thinking on a techno viper for me

[IceWolf]

went to Mexico walmart today got another bat today i have this motto never leave a bat behind hey lifeline did ya do any thinking on a techno viper for me


I have that same motto for BATS and SS! lol hey are we still gonna all plan on getting together? And does anyone know how that little BAT dude got in my sig? He is so cool!

[Apeiron]

Maybe it's the way you typed it into your sig. Have you checked out it's typed? It's neat.
I finally picked up Lt.Falcon vs Nemesis Immortal at a target we went too, unfortunately no sign of the Rattler or Conquest. I'm hoping to find at least one of the two jets down here or on the way back to Maine. It appears all the ones people have found in the Penn sightings are too far away from where I'm at.
Any word or sightings of them in Maine?

[slowrey]

no jets yet

[Fingers]

According the the target site 1 case hit each of the southern maine stores Friday and were gone by 9:30 am when I called. I went over to the Augusta WM to pickup rockband 2 tonight at 12 and they put out a case of the wave 9 repack. All bats gone, no Flash, 1 Bludd and I got the last snow serpent.

Oh and I forgot the Falmouth WM had a new case of vehicles, they had one trouble bubble, you still need one Ice Wolf? Im not sure if they will have it when Im back down there Monday but Ill look if you need it.

[IceWolf]

yes i do buddy selling or can we trade for it? And thats only if you find it, lol. Never seen one in bangor. all the other vehicles though. And the target site said the planes are in stock. just a heads up for anyone close by.

Oh and I really hope we can plan a get together guys. I have a newborn and time is not the greatest. BUt I really wanna make this work! So comeon guys we can do this!

[slowrey]

ya they had to get them from out back but i got my rattler & conquest i'm so happy right now u would'nt understand i guess some one else went in before me but i stayed and 5 min later the best target person help me out it was like a geek helping a geek i'm going to put a pic up when i get time. target put out the set too i should of looked at this first and i would of picked it up when i was just there

[IceWolf]

I hope they hit Bangor soon! You lucky slowrey!

[Lifeline 71]

I'm still thinking about how to do a Techno-Viper, Slowrey. I think the hardest part will be the head. I'll let you know when I come up with something.

[slowrey]

ok thanks

[slowrey]

http://www.hisstank.com/forum/images/hisstank25/attach/jpg.gif

[Fingers]

Oh WTF Augusta had them? the site never said they did. Trying to get these is really starting to piss me off. Sopo and Bidd both said they had them online this am, so I called at 8am and they said they didnt have them. Then I check back later and one says limited and one still available. I call back both and Sopo is still out, and now Bidd says they have 2 but cant hold them because they are on sale and I dont think I want to drive down there anyway.

Edit: lol Slowrey its hard to decipher your msg, but did you say they had more?

[Apeiron]

I'm back from my trip. I haven't gotten anything new on the way back. We didn't even bothering stopping at anymore Targets as by the time we got back if they had any they would have been gone. I'm starting to think I won't be able to get the Conquest and Rattler due to my lack of mobility.
I hate when Hasbro does Target Exclusives because they sell out so fast, though initially I think it was because of them putting the stuff on Clearance so quick.

[IceWolf]

Actually the site did say they had them if you look back I said it when i posted, fingers.

[slowrey]

they had just come on a truck that night and i just got lucky and they where the only 2 they had.

[Fingers]

Gah, I had just checked the site yesterday when I posted, it must have been after Slowrey got them, and I didnt notice you saying that they were in, skimmed right over it. Bah the whole one case thing is the whole problem, STOCK MORE! Bidd had 2 left but I had no motivation to drive over an hour total both ways after work I was feeling crappy all day. Sorry to vent Im getting annoyed with the lack of stocking things Target has been doing lately. Ill try and keep an eye out for Topsham, they havnt gotten restock yet. I can only hope they get more than one and maybe I can even hit them right at 8am as Im heading into work.

Oh and IceWolf the Trouble Bubble was still at WM and I picked it up for you.

[Apeiron]

Nice find on the Rattler and Conquest, Slowry.
I'm surprised to see the price of them, I was expecting them to be $5-15 more.

I hope when the Ultimate Battle Pack comes out in Nov/Dec that they ramp up how much of the product they get in. If I can only get 1 of they're G.I. Joe exclusives this year I'd be happy just to get that.

[Fingers]

Ok so I checked the site last night at like 10 and it said no stock anywhere except Bidd. I check it before I head to bed, same thing. I get up at 7 and check it and it says Topsham is available. I get cleaned up and out the door, I hit a little traffic but get to the store at just after 8. Get to the isle and the shelf for them is empty, but the grey dot is still on the label. I wander around looking for help then I see everyone is in a meeting, I kind of hover then I get some help. I told him there were none on the shelf and the dot was up but the website said they had it. He checks the stock at a register and it said 2, he checks with the back room stock guy who was standing at the meeting and he checks his gun and it says none available. So I left, annoyed as hell, but they had a bat and 2 snow serpents so I took one each to at least have something.

[IceWolf]

Apeiron,

Ya dude dosn't the UBP look sic?? I cannot wait to have that MOBAT been a long time since I had one.

[IceWolf]

Grrr site says Bangor has some in stock I am sure by the time I get over there tomorrow after work they will be gone. And Topsham has some in stock also.

[Fingers]

No Topsham is a sham :D I even called back later today to see if they magically had them in stock like Biddeford did yesterday, no dice.

[Apeiron]

The upcoming UBP looks awesome. I hate that the Star Wars Sarlaac one comes out around the same time because I want both.
I have a Mobat, I think it was released in 1998, though it's incomplete. The Mobat is part of the reason I want the set so I can have a second one. The Red H.I.S.S. looks awesome in it and if I get the set I might just buy the Crimson Guard set to put on it. I think one of the best parts of the whole set is the packaging they do with the UBPs, they are so easy to reuse for dioramas. I'm going to have to clear some space on a shelf to put it up with a battle going on inside of it like I did with the Endor UBP.
I hope they will do more UBPs, and with the way they sell I think they will. It'd be a good way to get some of the smaller vehicles out like the watch tower and Cobra Bunker.
I think they're finally figuring out how to do it with the $20 Battlepacks, at least for Star Wars as they look much deeper.

Yesterday I got my sister's camera and finally got pictures of my collection taken. If you guys are interested in seeing it just check out my albums. I got my G.I. Joe collection uploaded, and a portion of my Star Wars collection. I have way too many Star Wars toys to take pictures of them.

[Fingers]

I got a Rattler yesterday in a trade over on Fwoosh for 2 marvel figures I found. Today looks like Augusta and Topsham have them listed in stock. I called over to Augusta to check and they have 2, had them reserve the conquest for me. Yay.

[Apeiron]

Congrats on getting one, Fingers.

The Auburn Wal-Mart has new revision figures in. They had a v30 Snake Eyes, a Crimson Guard, and Spirit Iron-Knife.
Auburn Mall KB Toys as normal didn't have anything beyond it's 3 troopers and Serpentor.
I didn't get to K-Mart though.

[Lifeline 71]

K-mart had the comic packs today. That was it. No new single cards or vehicles.

[Fingers]

Falmouth WM had those revisions in as well. I get the x-30 home and find the rear landing gear is broken off, both pegs sheared off where the screws hold them in. Im trying to fix it since they have been so hard to come by I dont know If Ill be able to find a replacement.

[IceWolf]

Nothin new around here.

[IceWolf]

Wave 10 is officially out! Let the hunting begin! (and no I didnt find it) lol

[Apeiron]

Hopefully it doesn't take too long for Wave 10 to get here.

While my brother was at the Auburn Wal-Mart he called me up on my cell and I had him check G.I. Joes there. There's nothing new there today.
I'm planning to check there and K-Mart Thursday.

[Fingers]

I think Im giving up on trying to fix my conquest, so Im trying to track down a replacement. Augusta and Topsham came up in stock today. Topsham once again says in stock and thier computer says they have 2 but they cant find the actual item, same as last time. Something odd is going on over there. Augusta was supposed to call back Im going to need to call them again I guess.

[Apeiron]

I just got back from Auburn. No Wave 10 figures or new vehicles.
Wal-Mart has put out several cases of revision figures on the racks.
K-Mart had the three new comic packs, though it didn't include a black headed Destro.
I didn't bother checking KB Toys as it's always the same 4 figures there.

[Lifeline 71]

WM has new vehicles this AM. SHARC and Firebat, 1 each. No money today, so snag 'em if you can!

[Fingers]

Is that in Auburn Lifeline? More of the Target Vehicles are showing up, I called South Portland and they claimed they didnt have any, I called Biddeford and had them hold a x-30 for me. Thankfully the woman is going to visit her mom today so Ill have her pick it up.

[Apeiron]

I'll have to head over to the Auburn Wal-Mart and hopefully they will still have them.

[Apeiron]

I went to to the Auburn Wal-Mart and they still had the S.H.A.R.C, but the Firebat was gone.
I almost grabbed the R.A.M. vs Trouble Bubble so I could have the second one for the comic pack Rock 'N' Roll, but I couldn't after I went to electronics and saw the Jeff Dunham: Spark of Insanity dvd that my brother has wanted.

[IceWolf]

Hey guys it's my bday today and my amazing wife surprised me with the jets today! Isn't she amazing!! I can't believe she found them!

[Apeiron]

Hey guys it's my bday today and my amazing wife surprised me with the jets today! Isn't she amazing!! I can't believe she found them!

Happy birthday, Icewolf.

[Fingers]

Sweet! My fiance delivered my replacement x-30 tonight.

[Lifeline 71]

Congrats, Icewolf!

[IceWolf]

thanx guys! The jets rock and so does my wife!

[slowrey]

target has 2 jets and they are on the floor so come and get them I don't have enough money to get them for anybody so hurry

[Fingers]

I saw those out too Slowrey I had to stop by and return my broken one. What time were you there?

[slowrey]

6:20-7:00 i text that message in the parking lot on my i pod touch

[Apeiron]

All the Auburn Wal-Mart has for single card is a lot of revision figures and a few Wave 8. I hope them having so many won't hold up Wave 10 when it finally hits Maine.
They also had the Armadillo vs Air Chariot, and Vamp for vehicles.
K-Mart still has one of each of the latest comic 2 packs. KB Toys had nothing new.

[Fingers]

aha! That was you walking out, I suspected it might have been.

6:20-7:00 i text that message in the parking lot on my i pod touch

[slowrey]

i had on a blue shirt and black shorts ya when i got in to the car i saw someone going in with a very big bag that had the shape of a jet

[Fingers]

Yea that was me, hah.

[Apeiron]

The Auburn Wal-Mart has the Black Head Destro in. I put him back after I ended up grabbing some other stuff. I left him with the rest of the comic packs. The second row of them down, 4 in.
They also put out more revision figures. I noticed Snowjob and Snake Eyes w/ Timber amongst them, but I didn't buy them since I don't need them.
While I was there this afternoon a female employee put out more vehicles. I put the Black Head Destro back because of them. I grabbed the A.W.E. Striker, Firebat, and F.A.N.G. with Claw.

[Fingers]

Augusta had the Firebat and AWE Striker, I picked up the Firebat. Target still has a X-30.

[Apeiron]

The Auburn Wal-Mart has nothing new in beyond a H.I.S.S. Tank. Someone scooped up the Black Head Destro with IG.
KB Toys and K-Mart had nothing new.

[Apeiron]

Only thing I noticed new today at the Auburn Wal-Mart was more revision figures, including the Battle Armor Cobra Commander.

[IceWolf]

I have found nothing new for weeks. However today Target had a Rattler and 2 Conquest's. And I snagged a Black Head Destro/IG 2 pack at TRU and they also had the new combat heroes 2 packs which were kinda cool. Anyone see these yet?

[Apeiron]

I haven't seen them yet. I hope my local Wal-Mart plans to stock them so I can buy them for my cousin. I know he'd love them.

[slowrey]

Mexico and farmington walmart had nothing new but i did get a black head destro in the mail today and i bought my first mighty muggs today i got galactus hey ice wolf did they have the storm shadow combat heroes if so hook me up man

[Fingers]

I hit Southern Maine today. TrU had the Greenshirts and CG packs but no new 3 packs. They had those combat heroes too. Target, WM, and TrU were loaded with the last vehicle wave and the refresher single pack waves, basically nothing new.

Do any of you guys collect Marvel superhero figs?

[Apeiron]

I only collect a few occasional figures, especially if they are Marvel Zombies. I'm thinking of picking up some of the new 3 3/4th scale ones.

The Auburn Wal-Mart got in more vehicles. They have 1 A.W.E. Striker, 2 H.I.S.S., 1 Vamp, and 1 Armadillo vs Serpentor's Air Chariot.

[Fingers]

I think Im going to shoot over to TrU tonight after work and see if they have the new 3 packs. I got my wave 10 order in yesterday, its an awesome wave. I love the Para viper, Duke has fixed arms, Wraith is cool and I like the Bazooka trooper allot.

[IceWolf]

Scored a Firebat and a Striker tonight! Woo hoo! Also grabbed a BAt and Snow Serpent and at Kmart of all places!

[Lifeline 71]

Wal Mart in Auburn had the Firebat and AWE Striker with Leatherneck. I snagged the 'bat and I may get the Striker if they still have it. Mexico WM had nothing new as of Tuesday.

[slowrey]

ok everytime i go to auburn walmart they have the same stuff lifeline u go there and find the bat for the second time and ya mexico has nothing i went there friday and farmington had nothing

[Fingers]

TrU still only had the new greenshirts and CG packs, no command packs yet. So I picked up a greenshorts pack.

[Lifeline 71]

ok everytime i go to auburn walmart they have the same stuff lifeline u go there and find the bat for the second time and ya mexico has nothing i went there friday and farmington had nothing

Just lucky, I guess, Slow Rey. Since then, it's been the same figures and vehicles each time I stop in.

[slowrey]

it was a good day for me today found a wave 1 flint and a snake eyes with timber at the falmouth wm tru had nothing new wm in portland nothing auburn nothing new they had a leatherneck but i didnt have the money for it plus my wave 10 came in today too and it was a regular Wraith too

[Apeiron]

Just got back from the Auburn Mall and Wal-Mart.
Wal-Mart still has a bunch of revisions(I really hope those sell off soon so we can get Wave 10) and vehicles. 1-2 H.I.S.S., C.L.A.W. and F.A.N.G., Chariot vs Armadillo, Firebat, A.W.E. Striker, and a Vamp.
They also had two other vehicles in, I think another F&C and an A.W.E in the bike aisle on a cart.
KB Toys finally stocked! I was shocked. Vehicles($20) and wave 9. I didn't see what they had for vehicles as I was trying to figure out if I had enough for the B.A.T. they had. I ended up getting him.
They had a Major Bludd, Sgt.Flash, and the rest of Wave 9 when I left a little over a half an hour ago.
I didn't get to go to K-Mart as I was on foot with a bunch of groceries, in a jacket and it had gotten warm out compared to when I left this morning. They could have new stock in like KB Toys.

[Lifeline 71]

Farmington WM had a bunch of Wave 9 figures, no vehicles. I'll check Mexico and Auburn tomorrow.

[slowrey]

no need on mexico i work like 5 miles from walmart flagging on the road and they had nothing today lifeline when u go to auburn all i want out of the vehicles is fang pack hook me up if ya can or another Cobra Paratrooper that figure is just awesome

[Lifeline 71]

I'll see what I can do for you, Slowrey. I haven't seen any Wave 10 figures yet, but i'll keep my eyes open for the FANG/CLAW pack. Both WMs had the rereleases of the older figures out today.

[slowrey]

ok thanks lifeline

[Apeiron]

The Auburn K-mart has the Fang and Claw set your looking for.
They also had 2 Black Head Destros, but I'm going to have to wait till Friday to get it as I spent all I could out of the cash I had on me while still being able to pay people money I owed them.

I found Mutt and Junkyard at the Auburn Wal-Mart. He's all they had new. I wish they had just released Wave 10 instead of another revision wave, but at least this shows the revisions are moving and I shouldn't have to fear them keeping Wave 10 from hitting the pegs.

KB Toys still has the Wave 9 figures, minus that B.A.T. I picked up last week.

[Apeiron]

I went out to Auburn again once my check came in and they had the same stuff as Wednesday. Minus the 2 Destro Black Head/IG packs. I need to stop waiting whenever I find him and just buy him the next time I see him if I have the money.
They also got in a Firebat at K-Mart, and still have the F.A.N.G. and C.L.A.W. there.

[Lifeline 71]

They did have the FANG/CLAW set, Apeiron. Slowrey, PM me so we can meet & you can get your FANG & CLAW. Otherwise, nothing new to report.

[thefan]

Welcome to our little enclave, Don. It's great to have more Mainers on here, Ayuh! Keep posting!

Thank you. For the logest time I thought I was the only oe collector in maine. I have been collecting off and on for the last 10 yrs myself.

Don aka THEFAN from Deer Isle the real COBRA ISLAND YES AH!!!

[slowrey]

yes welcome to the little world us mainers have on here

[Apeiron]

Welcome to here, The Fan.
I finally got to get out of town and went down to South Portland. Finally got a Rattler, though I passed on the Conquest X-30 for now. Hopefully later this month or early next month If I have enough after the Ultimate Battlepack when that hits.
I also went to Falmouth. I didn't see much of anything that would count as new stuff. Saw some revision cases, R.A.M.S. vs Trouble Bubbles and other older vehicles. Only thing really new is the Combat Heroes down in Portland.

[thefan]

My finds and pick-ups this weekend

x1 V1 Cobra Snake with box and cobra soldier
DVD Pyramids of Darkness
x1 extreme cold set ( can't get enough of them)
10 V1 snow serpents 5 complete 5 near


went to Bangor and found nothing. The usual

Still looking for:
x1 rattler
x2 trouble bubbles
x???? 25th Snow Serpents.
( not sure how many I have been having a lot of luck breaking down the extreme sets and getting my troopers out it and dumping the rest.

So over all on the Bangor Ellsworth trip. No luck Nov 1 and 2nd. Thanks DON

[IceWolf]

Don,
You cant find a Rattler or Trouble Bubbles? Target has had a Rattler now for quite a while and I have seen Trouble Bubble 2 packs everywhere. (TRU and Target) Look a little harder man, lol

I also hid a Firebat at Kmart, anyone need it? And when are we gonna see wave 10? Grrrr

[thefan]

I have been finsing some troubles but the Rattlers I have a problem find. I have found a couple but need more. As for not finding them I think it's more of an issue of getting off the island I live on. Bangor is an hr a away and Ellsworth is 40 min away. I agree on the wave 10 issue too. ARGH!!!!


I went this past weekend and DAMN I didn't stop into TARGET. I blew it off as a lose casue because of my last trip. I am hoping to get up there is weekend . Hopefully there they are still there.

If you use the Target site they have a "Find at store feature" which will tell you if the item is in stock.
G.I. Joe Cobra Rattler with Wild Weasel Figure : Target (http://www.target.com/G-I-Cobra-Rattler-Weasel-Figure/dp/B0016ALHD2/180-4111918-2089819?ie=UTF8&index=target&rh=k%3ARattler&page=1)

COOL Thanks very helpful!!!

[Apeiron]

Just got back from Auburn.
Wal-Mart had another F.A.N.G. & C.L.A.W., A.W.E. Striker(Though the driver's plastic bubble isn't the way it should be), and a Mutt & Junkyard.
KB Toys and K-Mart had the same stuff as they normally do.
Unfortunately my local Kohl's is not one of the ones carrying Joes apparently, which sucks. I want Wave 10 and the new comic packs.

[Lifeline 71]

I just checked WM. No Mutt and Junkyard, they still had the vehicles. Yeah, it seems like Wave 10 is taking forever to get here.

[Fingers]

Hey there's 3 cases of wave 10 at the Augusta Kohls, including 3 Bats. I took 2 Para vipers and bazooka troopers, so theres 1 ea left. No variant Wraiths. The Westbrook Kohls had no Joes. WM has just the repacks, including some Snow Serpents. No new vehicles or DVD, and comic packs. I checked Kmart last night, they have nothing new.

[IceWolf]

Anyone take advantage of Joes on sale at Target? By the time I got there they were all gone. But I did leave with some info. One of the toy dudes who usually stocks Joes told me they had some big orders coming in. And the low prices were just to make room for the new waves, vehicles and dvd packs. So Target is looking good for new stuff for Xmas, etc! Pretty cool! Nice guy If I see him again I will tell him to post here.

I sure hope wave 10 gets up here soon. You southern Maine guys are lucky!

[The Motts]

Hey, fellow Maine Joe collectors! I'm new to Hiss Tank. I've been lurking for a while and decided to register when I found this Maine sightings thread. The only place I've seen wave 10 in Maine is the Kohl's in Biddeford. They had 2 cases of single figures but no new comic packs. The Kohls in Westbrook and Auburn didn't have any Joes, as of Nov. 6th and 7th respecively. I might venture out later today to the Portland area. If I find anything I'll make a post.

I haven't taken advantage of the sale at Target. The one in So. Portland never seems to have anything new. The other Targets are too far away from me to check on a regular basis. I did go to the one in Biddeford when I went to Kohls, but they had nothing new.

Have any of you found the new SRO 3-packs at TRU in So. Portland. I've been there about once a week for a while and they never seem to have anything new either.

[IceWolf]

welcome! its great to have another mainer!

[slowrey]

welcome welcome welcome

[The Motts]

Thanks for the welcomes, guys. I went out today and hit a bunch of stores.

No. Windham Wal-Mart...nothing new, they don't even have a space on the shelves for vehicles. No wave 10.

Scarborough Wal-Mart...pegs full of previous revisions. No wave 10.

So. Portland Target...they had some figures I hadn't seen there before, but I'm not sure which revision they are...Battle Armor CC, Snow Job. No wave 10.

TRU...no new SRO 3-packs, same singles they've had for weeks. No wave 10.

Westbrook Kohl's...no Joes at all.

Falmouth Wal-Mart...the last place I hit and they had 1 lonely Mutt and Junkyard amidst a bunch of other revision figures. I already have him from HTS, so I left him there.

Not a good day for Joe hunting. What I really was hoping to find were the wave 6 comic packs or a clear Wraith variant as I already have all of wave 10 from HTS and extra Para-Vipers and Bazooka Troopers from the Biddeford Kohl's.

[Lifeline 71]

Welcome aboard, Motts. Happy Hunting!

[IceWolf]

Kohl's has Joes? Oh wow I guess I know where I am checkin tomorrow. lol

[Fingers]

Yea It popped up in the wave 10 thread they started showing up at some Kohl's last week. Mott's Ive been checking TrU here and there and never saw the new SRO packs yet. They got restock of the last set that they barely sold off before. Joe collecting around here is like that its either feast or famine, mostly famine.

[Apeiron]

Welcome here, Motts.

I just got back from Auburn. Nothing new at Wal-Mart, K-Mart, or KB Toys. Kohl's still hasn't gotten anything, but they had a bunch of Hasbro toy boxes out and because a guy was unpacking them I didn't get to see what they were so it could be G.I. Joes. I won't be back that way till Wednesday when I go get Hellboy II and Clone Wars.

On a side note I did find something that is non G.I. Joe. K-Mart is selling the Star Wars figures for $5 or $6 on the single card figures, and they have an ad for it so you should be able to get them for that price at Wal-Mart and anywhere else that matches.

[IceWolf]

Woo Hoo Wave 10 has hit Bangor! Well sort of I found a Mutt n Junkyard at Target but nothing else. But its a sign of things to come, I hope. I also snagged a BAT and a Parka SnakeEyes. I also left (hidden) a Mutt at Target. Anyone need either one of these two? (SE or Mutt) I would trade either one straight up for a Wave 10 figure.

[Fingers]

Ice I believe that Mutt is just from a refresher case.

SIGH, you really had to burst my bubble didn't ya? lol

[Fingers]

Did you check Kohl's? Also I think I saw someone say they saw them at Burlington Coat Factory.

[Apeiron]

Nothing new in Auburn. It looks like those boxes I saw at Kohl's the other day ended up being games.

[The Motts]

I got the Target Ultimate Battle Pack today at the So. Portland Target. They are not on the shelves yet, but they brought one out of the back for me. I gave them the DPCI at the front desk. I think the guy said they had 3 of them. I only bought 1 so they might still have some left. The DPCI is 087-06-2067.

Other than that I haven't seen anything new around. Kohl's in Westbrook still doesn't have any Joes.

I've never even thought of trying Burlington Coat Factory for Joes, but I have been there before and I do recall seeing some toys there. Maybe I'll hit there tomorrow.

Me too! I snagged one last night! It was just sitting there all alone away from the Joe stuff. I think I got very lucky. Someone must of brought it out to the floor by mistake! Cause there is no way MY Target would of sold it early. WOOO-HOOO!!!!

[slowrey]

farmington nothing new on friday mexico had a whole shit load of revision might go to augusta on sunday and see what they got i dont really want the ultimate battle pack just want the mobat and steeler

[The Motts]

Decided to take a chance and head down to NH on Friday night. Nothing new at any of the main Joe places, Wal Mart, K Mart, TRU.

Last place I hit was Kohl's and finally saw the new comic packs! They also had the remnants of a couple of cases of wave 10. I scored the SE/Hard Master and Beachhead/Dataframe packs. All action figures were 15% off, plus 20% off of that and I got $10 and an EXTRA 15% off for signing up for a Kohl's charge card. Pretty good deal, I think. Also got two more Bazooka troopers. That makes 5, which is my limit on army building.

HTS sent me an e-mail saying my order of wave 12 has shipped. That means I'll have wave 12 before wave 11, since HTS hasn't shipped those yet. Wonder when those waves will hit retail in ME, as I'd liked to pick up some more EELS and Cobra divers, but for some reason prefer to pick up extras 'in the wild'. It makes collecting more fun for me, I guess.

[Apeiron]

The Auburn Wal-Mart has more revisions in. 2 Mutts, 3 H.I.S.S. Drivers were amongst them.
2 of the H.I.S.S. Drivers were where the toys normally are, while the 2 Mutts were 1 H.I.S.S. Driver was on the end of one of the aisles near the bikes. I think at the end of the Lego Shelf.
Next to the Star Wars toys they have the Combat Heroes.
They got in another F.A.N.G. and C.L.A.W. as well.
Kohl's still has no figures in, and KB Toys had nothing new. I didn't get a chance to check K-Mart.

[slowrey]

today was a good day didn't do any hunting but i got my doc today about time i get him

[Lifeline 71]

Thanks for your tip, Apeiron! I found Mutt & junkyard last night. nothing else new, but they were bringing out huge pallets of boxes in the toy aisle last night, so you never know. I'll try to check tomorrow morning.

[Apeiron]

Your welcome, Lifeline.
I just came back from Auburn and really not much to report.
Wal-Mart was unchanged from what I said on Tuesday.
K-Mart finally stocked, but it was all revisions. They had some Wal-Mart doesn't have like Snow Job and the black version of the 5 pack Snake Eyes.
Kohl's had nothing yet, which really sucks because as I like that they'll actually put out new waves of toys. I've been doing all of my Star Wars shopping there since they've been stocking those better then Wal-Mart.
KB toys hasn't put anything new out.

I'm hoping Black Friday will clear all these revisions and comic packs out so some of the wave 10 and Wave 6 comics will show up in the area.

[IceWolf]

Yeah! I snagged wave 10 plus a BAT today at Target for $4.99 each! What a deal! I am stoked! Also snagged a CLAW/FANG 2 pack. Awesome day!

[slowrey]

[The Motts]

I saw wave 10 at the Kohl's in Westbrook yesterday. They had 3 cases, but no clear Wraith. No new comic packs either.
