Florida G.I. Joe Sightings

[nmurugger99]

damn, im getting discouriged to even look for wave 7. i burned a quater tank of gas yesterday looking. my luck, they got them last night....

Don't worry realjoe, they didn't get them last night, I've checked all around the Broward area and had a wal-mart employee check the incoming stock on the computer. No stores have the wave 7 "in-transit" so that means it'll be probably wednesday or next weekend till we see them. They do have them on order though. He assured me of that.

[Omegawrath]

i hope you checked both of them.... i always forget the 2nd ones there... there is the one by the mall and theres one a few miles down on 1792....

i dont really go to the 1792 on too much though... everytime i go there are people of questionable character in the parking lot that look like their doing drug deals and i feel uneasy... but thats because i joehunt alone at 2am...
Actually, I lived in Sanford from the time I was 11 to last December. (20 years minus my stint in the military). Just a few miles from the 17-92 Wal-Mart. You must have just started hunting since I moved out here to Tampa because I've been Joe hunting there late at night since they went to 24 hours. (I've actually been shopping there since 1987.) I'm surprised I never ran into you.

There's a guy who has a shop in the Flea Market out there. He sends some seedy characters to all of the WMs between Altamonte/Maitland to Deltona and has them wipe out all the Joes, Legends, Wrestlers and whatever else is hot, so stay vigilant. I'd much rather they end up in the hands of someone who appreciates them than a reseller.

i dont head out to sanford too often, when i was looking for wave 5 i was all over, thats about when i started hardcore hunting... sometime before wave 5 hit... actually yeah sometime a little before december. orlando stock used to suck and volusia county used to not even carry joes... everythings starting to pick up now. hopefully tampa/st pete will start seeing something soon.

turkey lake is dry of 7, they had a rock n roll, a few air troopers, snowjobs, and about 8 stalkers and 8 buzzers, and some wave 4.

[therealjondoe]

there is a new superwally world on hillsboro and 441 and they don't even have a joe section! ugh

[sharke]

found wave 7 at Ponte Vedra Target but bought them all......

[primenemesis]

I got the cobra commander senior ranking officers today from the tru in port richey, the funny thing is I got them for 13.99 they rang up for 14.99 and my girl fought them on it cause it said 13.99 on the shelf. they took it off, and it actually said senior officer 13.99 or some shit like that.

[Gulfster]

still nothing

[Double Trouble]

there is a new superwally world on hillsboro and 441 and they don't even have a joe section! ugh

Yeah, that is some real garbage right there! I asked the dept lead in toys and she told me that it's just not something that the store was ordering. I am trying to petition the store manager there to do something about that. Real shame too for me especially because the regular Walmart that closed on on 441 and palmetto was where I found all of the first few waves.

Hate the super-Wal!!!

I found 1 wave 7 Duke on a peg at random Walmart up in west palm while I was at the PGA national this weekend. Only other figures were Sepentor and Buzzer.

Found 1 Gijoe senior officer 3-pack at the TRU in Boca Raton.
That store now has multiples of all three 5-packs if anyone is still needing. Also the TRU in Hialeah has more than I could count of the 5-packs.

First Post!!!!!!

Also, I'm a big troop builder so any leads on multiple troopers, officers, ninjas, vipers, Hiss Drivers, BATs and the like are always appreciated. I mainly only want singles of the named figures. I am not a re-seller.

Thanks

good to know there is someone else in south florida looking. i just buy one of each,currently searching for wave7...

[03Mach1]

I bought Wave 7 plus an extra Viper this morning from the Walmart on Archer Rd. in Gainesville. They must've only stocked one box since the only Wave 7 figure left on the shelf was Snake Eyes and I was there last night buying a vacuum and the pegs were empty.

[Amberbratt]

i hope you checked both of them.... i always forget the 2nd ones there... there is the one by the mall and theres one a few miles down on 1792....

i dont really go to the 1792 on too much though... everytime i go there are people of questionable character in the parking lot that look like their doing drug deals and i feel uneasy... but thats because i joehunt alone at 2am...


They are probably just g.i. joe collectors.. waiting to move on the shipment. LOL

I bought Wave 7 plus an extra Viper this morning from the Walmart on Archer Rd. in Gainesville. They must've only stocked one box since the only Wave 7 figure left on the shelf was Snake Eyes and I was there last night buying a vacuum and the pegs were empty. CONGRATS! I was there today around noon and you can't tell that anything came in. 13TH WM was empty as well. Target shows 24 figs in the store but they were either phantoms or a conspiracy is afoot. Arrgh! I have money and I want to spend it!!! Do you hit toysrus or kmart regularly? Although I drive past them daily it's inconvenient to go in as I have younglings to deliver to school. It's good to see W7 WAS in town. Thanks for the post.

[Caliburn]

For those of you looking at coming into Orlando. It looks like wave 7 has been sucked dry. I will keep you posted when I see anymore.

[Gulfster]

No Joe love in St.pete still !! Damn truck drivers must have got lazy and dropped ALL the wave 7 up in o-town.

[swafus]

Caliburn is right, Orlando is bone dry on wave 7! I hit 2 wal-marts and 2 targets today and nothing.

[Tunnel Rat]

Tampa is still dry too, i am gonna check again in about an hour, but it will prob be empty.

[03Mach1]

I occasionally hit TRU and Kmart, but Archer Rd is much more convenient. If I see another set of W7, I'll stash 'em for you and let you know.

[CharIJoe]

turkey lake, kirkman, and john young...... all sucked as of midnight.

[Gulfster]

st.pete has been sucking since wave 5.

[Tunnel Rat]

So i talked to one of the stockers at the walmart on dale mabry and he told me that they have only gotten 1 box in and he bought it before it even hit the shelf.

[Gulfster]

damn employee perks,can't blame him if he's a fan.

[CharIJoe]

florida mall target and millenia target dry

[primenemesis]

I'm tired of this shit where's the damn figures? ya know this shiz is outta hand with the F'n distribution.

[Tunnel Rat]

I am checkin again tongiht for the tampa area... i know i say this every night, but i feel lucky tonight.

[Gulfster]

What is "distribution"??????????

[Rocky]

Nothng in the orlando area.

[grimdaddy]

I got 3 cases worth in Panama City yesterday! Since spring break and bike week are over its not such a madhouse to go out to the beach again on hunts. I've been stalking the hell out of the stores and its nice to finally be rewarded for my time.

Snake Eyes x 3
Wild Bill x 3
Hiss Driver x 3
Spirit x 2
Duke x 2
Viper x 6

[therealjondoe]

damn i just checked wallyworld on griffin and flamingo...still no wave 7 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...!

[nmurugger99]

real joe, I was just there not 15 minutes before you...I went to the subway for lunch about 11:45. One of these days were gonna have to meet up so we can stop searching the same stores, might as well only one of us search and text the other if we found anything or not, might save gas. If I find them I'll let you know. I'm betting the Mirimar store is going to get them tonight or Saturday....i got a feeling....or maybe it's just bad subway...

[Tunnel Rat]

If anyone is interested.. I just got back from thr TRU on Tyrone Blvd in St. Pete and they had 5 senior officer 3 packs. 1 with the joes and 2 of each of the crimson gurad and blue cobra. I left there at 1:45

[therealjondoe]

dude that is a great idea. do you ever check the walmart off of red road/57 ave. i was thinking of checking there. you can text me if you spot any wave 7,im caught up with everything else.954-261-7358.do you collect transformers?

[nmurugger99]

I never get that far south..I live between douglas and university in pembroke Pines and my girlfriend lives in Aventura, so I usually cover the Wal-Marts on Griffin and Flamingo, both on University in Miramar and Miami Gardens, and on tuesdays I hit the one on Pines and 186th because I tutor out that way. Saturdays I usually check with the Targets on Pines and Hollywood and in aventura on US1 and Super Target on University. Super Target has a box of joes in the back but the girl wouldn't go get them, so I'm pretty sure they were just an old box, but I'm going tomorrow with the DCPI number. I've been talking with the stock ladies too, I got tomorrow afternoon off so I'm going to check I'll text you and let you know if there is anything. My number is 954-740-2351.

[nmurugger99]

oh yeah, and no I don't collect transformers, but if your on the look out for anything in particular I have no problems looking out for it. I'm a high school teacher so during the week I don't have a ton of time...so I usually check Monday nights and Wednesday afternoons, then don't usually get out until Saturday mornings.

wave 7 where are you ???????????

[nmurugger99]

wave 7 where are you ???????????

Wave 7 has officially been located in South Broward/Miami Dade. Picked up 2 vipers and everything except wild bill from Wal-mart on Pines this afternoon. So keep looking for it cause it's coming in again.

[nmurugger99]

alright so went to Wal-mart on Flamingo and Griffin last night and got to open a case for the first time, wow, it was nice to see minty-mint joes that never even touched a shelf. Well anyway I'm done with wave 7 for MOC and only need a couple of vipers and a couple more hiss drivers to open. I wasn't really keen on Wild Bill but I think I want to get one to open too. As for jetpack duke and snake eyes, I could care less about them.

[CharIJoe]

I'm going to do some hunting today. keep you updated.

[mutt7000]

The walmart in casselberry/maitland on 436 had most of wave 7 at around 1130 this morning. I just got back to the office to post it. I took both vipers there were no hiss drivers for some reason, but there was still 3 each of the duke, snake eyes, spirit and wild bill. Good luck.

[X-factorz]

We haven`t had a single wave 7 figure come to our area yet. About a 40 mile radius consisting of about 10 Walmarts at least, 8-10 Targets, a few Kmarts and Tru. It is really strange, I hit stores daily and speak to employees regularly but no one has any answers.

[X-factorz]

Is anyone from here going to SDCC? If so, would you be willing to help me out in getting one of each of the exclusives (variants as well)?

[CharIJoe]

got tipped off by swafus about wave 7 in casselberry.. went to check it out and there were 2 guys standing in front of the pegs talking about joes while they looked, i barely could even look at anything myself because of their crowding and everything was pretty much cleared out with the exception of a spirit and a snake eyes. i tried to ask them a question and they ignored me.

if it was someone on here, i think they should know that they are rude !!

this is why i hunt at night... people suck...

[mutt7000]

well it def wasnt me. I love to run into other collectors and talk joes. There were quite a bit there when I left and I still cant figure out why there was 2 vipers but no hiss drivers?? Not that I'm complaining. Is there anyones your still needing? If so if I run across them I can grab them and meet up with you and get them to you. Lmk Bill

[Junior]

I picked up Wave 7 up this morning @ Super Wal-mart (Bruce B. Downs Blvd.) in Tampa. Left the extra Viper and Snake Eyes. I'm sure Hasbro will do a Viper army builder pack later on and I'll stock up then.

[esg2145]

More wave 7 stuff in WPB today the WM near the airport.



.

[Gulfster]

If someone could find me 3 vipers let me know.I still haven't seen wave 7 in st.pete at all.Thanks!!!

[mutt7000]

I got a friend in ST Pete that said he found wave 7 at the clearwater super target a couple days ago. Have you tried emerald city? i know they jack them up a few bucks but it might be worth it not to keep driving around looking. Bill

[X-factorz]

I didn`t know Emerald City was still around, did they move?

[Gulfster]

Emerald City has really Jacked prices.Hopefully someone from the Florida crew will be nice enough to pick some up for me.

[mutt7000]

I havent been there in a few years since I moved away from down there. I use to know Neal pretty good, I didnt think he would have jacked them up too high, but I guess he does :) Anyway it was just a suggestion, good luck on the hunt. Bill

[Gulfster]

Thanks for the idea.Neal is a good guy don't get me wrong.I've known him and got my comics from him for like 14 plus years.Hopefully I'll get some vipers but if not oh well.Just have to wait and see.

[primenemesis]

I picked up a viper and a snake eyes (wave) 7 at the pinellas park walmart! that's all they had just two figs? I'm surprised someone would take a duke and leave a se and viper, something seems funny to me like mabee the whole case was'nt set out or something or someone in the back is playing games.

[Gulfster]

damn you Prime!!! I was just there the other day and Nothing!!!! Glad a fellow tanker got them!!!!!

[TheMonsterSquad]

I found Wild Bill in the Target on Kendall Drive in Miami. Its the only figure they had left in stock.

[CharIJoe]

1792 walmart sanford and biglots both sucked.

[X-factorz]

I just got back from Walmart and guess what....... still nothing! My other half and I had the opportunity to watch two different guys molest the pallets that had just arrived and slither around the toy section for awhile.
Why does it seem that regardless of where you are trying to find Joes, you will always run into some guy with a mullet trying to pillage the toy section. This guy tonight was pimped out in an original Kmart special Mike Allstot jersey.
The other guy was straight to the point. Went right to the pallets, started digging through them, didn`t find anything and left. I was the idiot who tracked down the emp. to ask, only to be told no we only got pool toys in. When I clearly saw figures on the pallet (no joes though).

[rinker]

Lakeland has not gotten any wave 7 yet.
There's 3 Wal-marts, 2 Targets and a TRU here.

Only new stuff is Movie Iron-Man & Hulk and New Batman.
Shitty.

I Did pick up a couple Indiana Jones Vehicles for my troops.
They are awesome! :)

[Ruderic]

I have yet to see any of the new figs.

[CharIJoe]

new smyrna beach and port orange walmarts both had wave 7 remnants. no troop builders. just the spirits and wild bills... se's and dukes left

[primenemesis]

has anyone in my area seen premium megatron or prime. lmk on the hunt for one this weekend.

[primenemesis]

just got wild bill and hiss driver. got se and viper yesterday. they had all of wave 7 today where I got them from, I left duke and spirit viper and se. If anyone in my area wants to know where I got them from you'll have to pm me i'm not puttn them into the hands of scalpers and if I don't know ya .... well tough titty said the kitty when the milk ran dry........... you'll get no response.

It sux now 7 dollars a F'n figure, if it were'nt for the damn joe price increase I would have goten another army builder and spirit. Everything goes up but my F@#$%N pay

[rinker]

Lakeland area Targets now have wave 7!!!
I picked up a set today minus Major Bludd, there were no Bludd's.

[X-factorz]

Finally got wave 7 today! Prime, I picked up an extra Hiss driver for you but it looks like you scored one today as well. Call me when ever you read this.

[Gulfster]

Lakeland area Targets now have wave 7!!!
I picked up a set today minus Major Bludd, there were no Bludd's.

Major Bludd is in the next wave

[Gulfster]

Checked p.park and gateway Target and no trace of wave 7.

[Tunnel Rat]

Checked p.park and gateway Target and no trace of wave 7.

TAMPA HAS WAVE 7 ....I REPEAT TAMPA HAS WAVE 7 (about damn time). I picked up all 6 of the wave 7 at about 12:30 am (about 20 minutes ago) at the wlamart on dale mabry right off of 275. They only had 10 figures there and i got 6 of them. I think they had a snake eyes, spirit, and 2 hiss drivers......YES I FOUNDTHEM

[Gulfster]

P.park Walmart and gatewat target both had nothing

[Tunnel Rat]

does anybody have any extra t-bar or t-hooks for the old school joes, that would want to sell? I need about 10 of them.

[Ruderic]

Walmart on 87 Ave in Miami only has comic 2 packs. They had empty pegs saying "Duke " and Cobra AIr Trooper". SUrprised they had the name of the figures on the pegs. Guess I missed them.


Ross Dress For Less at Dolphin Mall has the 25th anniversary Joe % pack and the CObra Legion 5 Pack for $11.99. Plenty in stock at 7 PM today.

[Gulfster]

P.park and south side st.pete and tyrone walmart has NO WAVE 7.If anybody has 3 vipers for sale please let me know,thanks!!!!!

[jbowman]

The Target @ Jax beach and JTB had 2 cases of wv7 this morning.

[Tunnel Rat]

I know this might be jumpin the gun a little since some areas have still not seen wave 7, but has anyone heard anything about or seen wave 8 yet??

[CharIJoe]

i am in need of 1 hiss driver. if someone finds one and stashes it and pm's me with its wherabouts... i will love them forever!

: )

[Gulfster]

Still need wave 7 !!!!

[grimdaddy]

CharIiJoe,

I wish you would have posted this yesterday as I sent an extra one I had to Dallas this morning. I'm going to see a guy tonight who might have one and if so I'll send it to you for free.

Justin

[nmurugger99]

Checked Wal-mart last night on 441 and 95....no new stuff but they got about 4 or 5 cases of Joes mostly Destro, Duke, Scarlett, Gungho...found a couple v1 Storm Shadow though...if you need em. Also Griffin and Flamingo WM is totally out.

[dealer]

I bought some 5-packs at Ross yesterday for custom fodder. The only Joes I've seen in a while.

[sharke]

The Target @ Jax beach and JTB had 2 cases of wv7 this morning.

thanks! that ones actually really good about having stuff

[nmurugger99]

Is there any Florida people that are going out to San Diego this year? I've never really been interested in the cons, but this year's exclusive George Bu....I Springfield Cobra Commander is pretty freakin sweet. I was wondering if someone could pick one up for me. I'd be willing to pay for yours too if you get me one. Let me know if anyone is interested.

[Double Trouble]

Hit the Boca Raton TRU and the Target on 441 & Palmetto.
The TRU had multiples of the first three 5-packs and around two each of the 3-pack senior command packs. No singles except for a random Buzzer and Lady Jaye. One or two Scarlett/Hawk 2-packs.

Target had the second wave of 2 packs and a couple Buzzers and hooded Comanders.

Anyone find any Vipers or Torpedos in stock anywhere in So. FLA?

[CharIJoe]

target florida mall had a viper and a s e. millenia target hd a s e. turkey walmart had more s e's and alot of air troopers. tru florida mall sucked.

[phatdak]

some walmarts in s florida still have wave 6. I picked up a case as they were restocking the other night.. so i dont expect wave 7 there anytime soon.. also, saw a torpedo in a target.. but it may have beena return, and/or is probably long gone by now..

[Gulfster]

still need wave 7 and 3 vipers.

[frankthedamned]

Aside from the new SuperWM, which I haven't been able to check (and completely forgot about), Gainesville has less than 10 figures total.
KMart: Shipwreck and Serpentor
TRU: Serpentor and Hooded Cobra Commander (as well as exclusives)
Target: nothing
WM Archer: 3x Air Troopers
13th WM: nothing (checked a few days ago)

Exclusives not-withstanding (even Target uncovered an AWE Striker), we are pretty dry, despite a recent report of wave 7 appearing at WM.

Anytime now bitches!

P.S. Archer WM reset the toy aisle and the Joes are now opposite Star Wars and have fewer pegs than The Corps!!! I think they have 3 pegs and I couldn't find the Comic Packs. Kmart had the best prices and most selection next to TRU... Shocker!

I wanted to go, but cant afford it this year. I am going to a small sci fi convention in tampa on the 25th called scout con. you should check it out, its gonna be pretty good.

What are they going to have going on at Scout Con ???

[sharke]

[Ixz72]

Guys, I found some 25th Anniversary Boxed Sets at the Ross in the Seminole Town Center. The best part....they are only $11.99 each!!!

[sirt8669]

Did they still have any or did you get them all?

[Gulfster]

sirt8669 what part of st.pete are you in?? I'm over by Gandy.

[sirt8669]

Nice, I am also over by Gandy. My girl(works at Target, got the hook up if you need it) lives off Gandy and 4th and I live off 62nd north and 18th st in Meadowlawn. I am heading to the Walmart/TRU/Target all by Tyrone Mall today to see what they got.

[sharke]

Target @ Towncenter in Jax has wave 7 and 2 Spectres

[Tunnel Rat]

Nice, I am also over by Gandy. My girl(works at Target, got the hook up if you need it) lives off Gandy and 4th and I live off 62nd north and 18th st in Meadowlawn. I am heading to the Walmart/TRU/Target all by Tyrone Mall today to see what they got.

Hey good to see another tampa local. i live on bayshore and gandy on the tampa side. welcome my friend. That hook up could def come in handy.

[Tunnel Rat]

If anyone can find the cobra and joe box set at Ross, could you them up for me (I have the Legion Set). i will gladly pay you for it. Thanks guys.

[Gulfster]

i've only seen the legion set at Ross

[sirt8669]

I wish I had seen this earlier cause I just left TRU by Tyrone and they had the Commanding Officers and Cobra box set, also had some wave 1 joes but I snagged them. I am going to Target off 9th st near me now. I grabbed a ton of joes today. Walmart near Tyrone had a ton of Wave 6/7 and some comic sets.

[primenemesis]

I live in trinity over by newport richey, but work a couple lights down from the gandy over pass in pinellas park, I could really use some army builders so if ya come by vipers and hiss drivers lmk thanks and welcome to the plasticcrackboards.com

[sirt8669]

I will keep my eye out. I will post pics this weekend of my findings.

[CharIJoe]

hello everyone.. this is non joe, but i was hoping someone in fl could help me. i need a dead rising video game strategy guide. pm me if you have one you wouldnt mind getting rid of. :)

[sirt8669]

I will check Gamestop tomorrow if you want since its right next to my work.

Anyone find any Wave 7? I can't seem to come across any. I have only managed to find Joes from Waves 1-4 and a few others but no 7 yet. I thought I had some but they were from Wave 2 and 4.

[Gulfster]

my wave 7 count is = NOTHING :(

[sirt8669]

I have to go through all my Joes but I think I am at zero for wave 7 also, no where to be found.

[sirt8669]

Ok, this could be good news for Wave 7. I am not sure though if it is Wave 7 but I am not sure why it would be any other wave. I just left Walmart in South Side St. Pete and I asked if they had any other joes in the back and they told me that they got a nice shipment in, like a lot. I asked if I could buy cases then and there but he said that the boxes were not accessible because they were behind the rest of the shipment.

Only thing is, I do not know what these are, Comic packs or singles, he told me both but was not 100%, he just said there was a lot. So, if there is anything anyone needs that is somewhat local cause I really don't have time to ship items, let me know, I will be there tomorrow once they start bringing them out cause I want these bad boys by the case.

[TSHOCK84]

try not to buy them all ..ive been driving all around st pete looking for joes for the past 2 months..cant ever find any.

[dealer]

Found a W7 Snake Eyes at the Viera Target. So it looks like they got their 1 case and no one wanted the extra SE or Duke w/flag.

[sirt8669]

try not to buy them all ..ive been driving all around st pete looking for joes for the past 2 months..cant ever find any.

If I do get them all I will not flip them on ebay, I hate that crap. I am only getting them for the people on here and some of my friends. I hate scalpers. I hope that they have what I want there. If I land some cases I will hook you up and you will get the items you want for what I payed no price hiking.

[sirt8669]

I just called over there and a lady that works in the back told me that they didn't have any joes in but I will go and check it out for myself and find the lady that is in the toy dept and ask her. Sucks if they don't have anything but this guy that I talked to yesterday said they had a lot, idiots.

I may hit up the 50 Walmarts that they have in that small area of Oldsmar/Tampa tomorrow. Seem to have a cluster of them over there. Hopefully I find some more Wave 7.

Don`t waste your time and gas my friend. Dry dry dry, Zip Zilch Zero, Nothing Nada. I found my Wave 7 about two weeks ago I think and haven`t seen anything in this area since. I will definitely let you know when I see them though.

[mutt7000]

you guys that dont have wave 7 yet better hurry up, wave 8 is already out in AZ.

[Gulfster]

Great I still don't have wave 7 :(

Appreciate man. These things are getting wiped out by scalpers I think, fricken pricks.

[Tunnel Rat]

Yeah scalpers are pricks....but the i was reading the board in the news section and it has been confirmed that wave 8 is out in AZ. Has anyone seen wave 8 in FL yet or heard any news?

[Ruderic]

Saw wave 7 for first time today at K-Mart. Picked up Duke, Wild Bill and SE III. Left 2 Vipers, 1 Spirit and one Hiss tank driver on the pegs. They also had one each of STalker, Cobra officer and trooper. This was K-Mart on West 49st/NW 103 ST Hialeah.

[sirt8669]

Well the guy that told me they had a shipment of joes was full of it. But I did get a hook up with the real person that works in Toys and she told me that they will be getting in more joes by wednesday. She said to call ahead this time, of which I did but I got no one in toys. Going to K-Mart today, thanks for the info on that.

[Gulfster]

wave 7 for me = still needing !!! Good luck on the hunt sirt8669 !!

[Ixz72]

Is anybody in Orlando interested in a USS Flagg? I met this guy earlier today and he has a Flagg that he wants to get rid of. He showed it to me. It's all in boxes but he thinks it's complete if not 98-99% complete. He originally wanted $650 for it, but I told him that you can get it at ebay for about $550 including shipping. He agreed to let it go for $550 as is. I want it, but me and the family are going on vacation next weekend and I can't spare $550. If anybody is interested, I can pick it up and I can meet up with you. Please let me know ASAP!!!

[CharIJoe]

walmart turkey lake dry. walmart kirkman, dry. walmart casselberry dry.


walmart john young is a tease

i saw lots of boxes . i thought "Hey, new comic packs.. yeesssss"
and then i opened a box and it was all wave 1, 2, & 3. "wave 3 revision 4" is what the box said. bastards!


it was like foreplay, with no sex.
hasbro is a fickle mistress, and knows no master!

[sirt8669]

I got another insider. This time KB Toys at Countryside Mall. My friends boyfriend works there and he told me that they have a good deal of joes, not sure what but I will know today, I keep getting my damn hopes up. Goin to the flea market now, looking for some old joes.

[sirt8669]

Yeah, just got back, went to Wagon Wheel/Mustang on Park blvd. Got a box of 80s, early 90s joes, nice set. Best was on the way home we hit a garage sale and I got 4 80s vehicles and about 20 80s/90s joes for $1.

[Gulfster]

Anyone in my area (st.pete/Tampa) finding wave 7?? I still need them so if you happen to see an extra set if you wouldn't mind picking them up I would appreciate it.Thanks you FL crew of tankers are the BEST !!!!

[Tunnel Rat]

Just to let everyone know. There is a Sci Convention in tampa next saturday called Scout Con. Its at the convention center downtown. here is the website for it.

[Ixz72]

A ton of wave 7's and senior officer 3-pack at the Toys R US on 436 in Altamonte Springs.

[CharIJoe]

careful with he 436 t r u though. they told me they had the exclusive bettle packs and they would put them on hold.i drove an hour (traffic) to have some blonde with a silly grin holding a pile of comic packs...

i wouldnt have been as pissed for joetardedness but i descrubed them in detail and gave them the item number.

[CharIJoe]

oh and im hunting wave 8 tonight.

[FreddyTV]

oh and im hunting wave 8 tonight.

Grab some extra Flints n Major Bludds for me.

[Rocky]

HAs anyone seen the wave eight yet?

[nmurugger99]

I checked all the WallyWorlds in Pembroke Pines area, found one Wild Bill and a Hiss Driver and a couple SE but no other wave 7 or wave 8. Based on how wave 7 hit, I'm going to stop hunting for about two weeks, then they should be in South Florida by then. Orlando will probably have them this weekend. Check with the Orlando crew this weekend and they'll probably have it.

[nmurugger99]

by the way, anyone in South Florida know anything about the Florida Super Con going on this coming weekend? anything Joe related worth checking out?

[sirt8669]

My girl will be working at 3 different Targets this week so I will have her keep an eye out for us. I will be working close to Walmart on Park st and I will hit them up by Wednesday. They had a lot last time.

[CharIJoe]

i found nothing last night more than wave 3 comic revision cases.

turkey sucks.
john young sucks.
west colonial sucks.
kirkman sucks the worst... i mean they had a roadblock and a duke comic pack... and thats it!

[Otaking]

Hey Guys, I’m new here, I been lurking around the forum for a couple of weeks and finally decided to join. But anyway, no Wave 8 in the east Orlando Area

[CharIJoe]

target millenia,
target florida mall,
target w50,
target "umm I dont know where you would call it but its way the hell out there on OBT in Kissimee"


.. what about them? ... they all sucked.

and Welcome to the tank Otaking!


oh and guys.. I'm hunting the little Wave 8 bastards this evening.

i will let you know if i find anything.

[Tunnel Rat]

Tampa is dry too, but i dont think i am gonna frantically look for wave 8 like i did wave 7. I feel like i wasted more money on gas then I would have by paying shipping from BBTS. So i am gonna check the stores when i go in, but not every night like I did for previous waves, but still 2 walmarts were empty tonight.

[Jman]

Hey Guys, I’m new here, I been lurking around the forum for a couple of weeks and finally decided to join. But anyway, no Wave 8 in the east Orlando Area
Same here Otaking... lurking for two weeks now and now I'm ready to join. Hey guys!...

[Gulfster]

I still haven't seen any sign of wave 7

[Double Trouble]

Boca TRU update. Went yesterday and found some wave 7. No vipers or HISS drivers but they had Bill, Spirit, Duke and Snake. Still have the Senior 3 packs and a ton of the first 3 5 packs including the Cobra Legion 5 pack.

Whoever the troop builder is in North Broward/West Palm leave a couple for me :-)

DT

[Otaking]

Still no wave 8 in east Orlando, the TRU by Fashion Square finally got wave 7, but no Vipers or HISS drivers left.

[primenemesis]

what's up peeps

[sirt8669]

They only have Wave 2 at Target on 9th st. Nothing new in our area. Only thing I found was that they had the Crimson Guard Senior Ranking Officers back up on TRU.com

http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2945315

[nmurugger99]

Whoever the troop builder is in North Broward/West Palm leave a couple for me :-)

DT

I stick to the South Broward/North Miami area unless I get up to Sawgrass Mills but thats about as far north as I get. Plus, I only troop build up to 5 loose and one MOC and only for cool figures like Viper (need 2 more) Hiss Drivers (need 2) and the upcoming BATs (want 8) and Snow Serpents (want 5). Now I did just start troop building AirTroopers/StingerDrivers/Officers from the Legions 5 packs since they were at Ross for 11.99, figured it was too good a deal to pass up. Wave 8 I may only troop build the Python Officer, or may not don't know yet.

[Tunnel Rat]

If anyone in the tampa/st pete area can find a regular cobra box set at Ross for $11.99 could you pick it up for me and i will pay you for it. thanks

[sirt8669]

that would be great if you could do that. Its the only thing i am missing in my 25th set. I just didnt feel like spending the 25 dollars on it when it came out, but now its half price i figured i would spend the dough on it. thanks again

[CharIJoe]

i picked up wave 8 tonight its deff in orlando.!!

post pics when iget home.

[sirt8669]

I will check TRU, Walmart, Ross and Target tomorrow and will see what they got and if they have Wave 7/8 I will snag up what people need. I am not collecting anymore of the newer joes, I am just spending too much on them so I will stick with my older stuff.

Charijoe seems to be the guru of joe hunting

[viper9]

Has anyone found anything in JAX yet?

[Bantha5]

If Anyone in NE Fl. feels like going for a drive, The WM is Saint Marys GA. Exit 7 has wave 8(probably 3-4 cases). I only picked up a major bludd so there were plenty of them as of $1:30 this afternoon. Ryan

[sirt8669]

Just went to KB Toys cause they told me they got a single box in. I get there and it for some reason is Wave 1/2. I bought these there+ But on did make some more connections on the way home and I now know when more joes come in at TRU by Countryside and Super Walmart on 19.
Sorry crappy quick phone pic.

[Omegawrath]

I have some extra wave 7 stuff. (BBTS oder) No Vipers or HISS drivers, but I'll swap a Wild Bill, Snake Eyes, Spirit or Jetpack Duke for a Major Bludd or other wave 8's. (Tampa area, but I get to Orlando regularly)

[Lowe]

Nothing at Viera and Palm Bay Rd. Wal-Marts today. I stopped by Sarno Wal-Mart at around 7:30 and I found an empty Wave 8 box on the palette. Nothing but Scarlett and Roadblock singles on the pegs. Targets still had series 1 and 2 comic packs.

Well shit. Guess I'm not going to that Walmart tonight then.

[swafus]

Casselberry Walmart has 2 cases of wave 8 and they are putting out about 3 cases of wave 7! I live across the street from there and I just got back with my score!

[Ixz72]

7 cases of Wave 7 in the Wal-mart in Sanford on 17-92. Just got back from there.

[sirt8669]

Had one guy clean out TRU by Tyrone Mall as soon as they opened and was told that they had Wave 7 and 8. Same guy keeps doing this and I hope that with my connections I can score us locals some 7/8s.

[viper9]

Jax 103rd st Wal mart has one case of wave 8 left. I picked up one, but left the other.

[CharIJoe]

i picked up my wave 8 at turkey lake. they had some at kirkman and casselberry. and thanks ixz! i was gonna head there tnight and you saved me gas!

and ocoee walmart sucked!

[viper9]

Blanding and Normandy had them as well, but someone beat me to them, only had some bent CC's at those two.

[Jman]

Atlantic and Kernan Wally had 7 set, but Timber chewed them up. Good for loose though...

[darthdoug]

I just found wave 8 in Tampa FL.

While I'm on the topic.... could the douche bag who bends all the cards on the pegs so that people only buy them to open them please stop?!?!?

I only buy one of each for myself. I keep them sealed in mint condition. I may buy another one (or troop builders) to open if I really find them cool but that's it. I can't help it that someone will buy them all and sell them on ebay. But for someone like me you screw up the way I collect. Gas is expensive and I may never see them again so now I have no choice but to open it because you insist I have to! That's not right, A-hole!

Glad you got your MOC figures and you can decide to ruin it for everyone else. If I find you... haha.

Both walmarts on dale mabry have wave 7/8 also although most are bent. and the one on waters has 1 case of wave 8 left. I also found all of wave 8 in tampa. And yes the Douche Bag had bent the cards at 2 of the walmarts I found them at. I got all 8 figures but 3 of mine have bends in them, but they are not that bad.

As i stated before on a previous post in this thread if i see that ass hole bending them i am gonna chuck norris his face.

You should have snagged me some Wave 8, ah. I hope I get some tomorrow or Saturday.

[Tunnel Rat]

i was thinkin of you and gulfster but i only had 60 on me, and i left my debit card in my other pants at the house.

[Omegawrath]

The bendy guys are everywhere. I first saw that in Daytona back in October. Took me three tries to get Serpentor.

[n3rf]

LOL w/ Viper. I think this guy visited AZ recently because most of our Walmarts were reported as having the same bends in a 40mi radius.

Besides a hectic travel schedule, this guy must also have a tool that allows him to quickly bend the cards in the same manner as if he were leaving his calling card. :\

[Rocky]

Thank you CharIJoe for the heads up. I scored a whole set.

[03Mach1]

Spotted Wave 7 and 8 in Gainesville this morning. Needed wave 8 but the cards looked like the packaging box was crushed in shipment. Very bad shape. Frank, if you're an opener hit Archer Wally now. Wave 7 looked good but 8 was a total wash as far as the cards are concerned. Good luck!

[Lowe]

Found Wave 8 at Viera Wal-Mart. They had two sets and I grabbed one.

Also, is anyone thinking that maybe the bent cards are a shipping mishap? Of the two sets I found this morning, one set was bent and the other were in good condition. I open my figures, so I went ahead and bought the bent set and left the others.

I don't know what kind of shipping mishap neatly dogears every figure in the pack.

[Lowe]

Dogears? In that case, it probably is someone doing it. Mine have 45 degree bends horizontally at the top of the plastic bubble. Crushed bubbles as well.

[mutt7000]

the 6 or 7 cases of wave 7 I saw today at a wal mart still on the pallet were totally crushed. Not someone bending the cards the case boxes were totaled.

[Gulfster]

I have yet to see wave 7 or 8.You can tell them to send the crushed ones this way.I free them of their plastic imprisonment.Most of them anyways.Have a good day FL crew :)

Crap I was there at 10 am today and the lady in toys was stocking and I asked if they had any joes in and she told me no that they wouldntbe getting any no time soon either. What a b. The wal mart on 1792 is where i saw the 6 or 7 smashed cases of wave 7. they did have 1 set of wave 8 I took the bludd ( smashed card ) and left the rest.

Anyone else on here collect the 80's and 90's joes or just 25th stuff? And why dont we have some kinda meet?

I'm up for it. I have several unopened mint '86-'93'ish cards. Nothing duplicated but I'd be willing to trade. I have 25th MOC as well. I collect mine to keep unopened.

If you organize it, could we meet somewhere between Tampa & Orlando? Seems to be a lot of collectors out here as well.

Well we would have to find someone in lakeland or somewhere around there to host it then. If someone from there is willing to do it thats cool. If not maybe we could switch from orlando to tampa each meet. I'm going to the con next month, so if we can plan something during july maybe that way it gives everyone time to gather stuff to bring and put some $$ aside. Also time to get what ever weekend we agree on off from work or free of family plans. Any suggestions??

[Otaking]

I usually just get one set of each figure for myself, so not too interested on trading but meeting other collections in the area might be cool

Our 2 Walmarts are so packed with W1-W3 comic packs that if they did get them in, there wouldn't be any place to put them.

Finally got an extra HISS driver too (I'm waiting for my W7 from BBTS because it's cheaper than WM) and now I just want another Bludd and Python Patrol (also waiting on W8 from BBTS for same reason. $49.99 + couple bucks shipping is better than $58 for a case at WM.)

[CharIJoe]

2 boxes wave 8 at walmart on 535 in kissimmee.

ocoee had some wave 7.
turkey lake had 8 wave 7 snake eyes.
john young had nothing
kirkman had halo figures. first time ive seen those in awhile.

[mutt7000]

CharIJOE.... can you snag me a bludd on mint card if you run across any more? I'm not gonna be out looking for these until the next wave and thats all I need. I got a opener yesterday and still need a MOC one. Thanks

[Double Trouble]

Was up in north Palm Beach/Fort Worth Area yesterday at the courthouse and stopped at a super-Wal. I found a little wave 7. (Got some extra vipers!) and they had the new comic packs. I got 1 each of the Shipwreck & Copperhead and Duke & Red Star and 2 of the Firefly & Storm Shadow. I'm about to open the Firefly one now. It looks awesome. Hunting for wave 8 this weekend.

[Gulfster]

Anyone else on here collect the 80's and 90's joes or just 25th stuff? And why dont we have some kinda meet? There seem to be a lot of guys in orlando/tampa area. there is 7 or 8 of us from yojoe that have 2-3 a year. I'd be up for hosting it if anyone wants to do it. I live in deltona, just north of orlando. We can buy/sell/trade and show off stuff. Anyone up for it?


Yeah I still collect the vintage 80's stuff and right now trying to finish off my NF set and a Python Patrol set. I really think the mods need to make a thread strictly for Vintage 80's ARAH stuff. Since they have the 12 inch, and Sigma 6 threads, and everything else seems to be for 25th stuff. Anyway, I'm in Ft. Lauderdale area. PM me if you have any of my needs or are looking for certain stuff. Don't have a lot but I got some stuff.

[sirt8669]

I mostly only collect the 80s/90s joes but started to collect the 25th and I think I will stop collecting them cause I can never find them and it seems more costly for me.

Dont stop collecting, you are a true joe fan! If you quit you are letting the scalpers win. You are just having a little bit of bad luck. I had the same problem with wave 6.

[Bamphalas]

I don't buy every figure, and I refuse to pay scalper prices. I get what I can find and since I'm not an MOC collector, I am more than happy to pay the cheaper prices for loose figures. Instead of quitting altogether, perhaps you just need to reevaluate what deserves to be collected.

[sirt8669]

Yeah, I just like the quality of the 80s/90s joes more, just seems to me that they didn't put enough time into the newer ones. I still have my sources and when they contact me thats the only time I will get any, I don't think its necessary to run around any more with the way gas prices are. Also, are the new 25th vehicles exclusive to any store?

No, only the first 3 should be exclusive to Target. The new sets should be available at other retailers

[sirt8669]

Sweet. I will be getting them when they come out.

[sirt8669]

My girl just got some Wave 7 at Target on Park st. I had her pick up most of them. Shoot me a pm and let me know if anyone that is local wants one of these figures and I am not jacking up the price, I am giving you these at store cost. They had a few of Duke there left over for anyone to snag up.

For the locals I have extra:
x1 Snake Eyes
x1 Viper

[CharIJoe]

target w 50 and t r u flo mall had wave 8

[sirt8669]

You should have got some for me Mr CharIJoe!

[CharIJoe]

if anyone in florida has a set of wave 4 comics.

I WILL DRIVE ANYWHERE.( this includes georgia, possibly SC if im contacted soon enough)

name your price. i need to find them asap

PLEASE PM ME if you can help me if you have an extra set. or if you see some while your out!

[TheMonsterSquad]

Nothing in Miami

I saw a Wave 8 C.C. with the crystal yesterday and a few Vipers at Walmart but couldn`t bring myself to buy another C.C.. I`ve pretty much stopped hunting completely. The overall lack of product in my area has completely taken the fun out of hunting and with gas being ridiculous I`m having a hard time justifying it to myself. Not to mention the attitudes and lack of customer service from the employees of the stores that we all shop regularly. Maybe if they put out some characters that I really want, I will get the fires lit again but until then I`m done wasting time and gas.

[Bamphalas]

Don't know what figures are in what waves, but the Sanford Wal-Mart on 17-92 has a bunch of Joes. Tonight I saw several Spirit, Wild Bill, Snake Eyes (w/ silver knives on chest), Duke with Flag, Vipers, and even saw a Cobra Commander that was NOT marked 25th anniversary (is that Modern Era?). They also had several Comic Packs, including the Ace/Wild Weasel. Hope that helps somebody.

[Rocky]

I am on the lookout for you Charijoe.

[CharIJoe]

new smyrna - wave 7 and 8
port orange - wave 7 and 8
south daytona - wave 4 singles

[CharIJoe]

i dont wanna throw anyones business out there but thank yousoooo much to the people who pmed and called me wanting to help me..

you guys all rock and i love you all!

[sirt8669]

Ok, I hit up the New Tampa Super Target while I was out there and got a bunch of Wave 7/8. I have some extra Wave 7 if anyone local needs anything, if someone that is not local needs something from this list, then you will have to cover shipping. I now have some more time on my hands. I didn't know the difference between the Wave 7/8 Vipers otherwise I would have bought more seeing as how there was a ton out there with both logos on them.



These are extras I have if anyone needs them(moving to buy/sell/trade):

x1 Full set of Wave 4 comic packs(Gone to ChaIJoe)

Wave 7
x3 Vipers
x2 Spirit Iron Knife
x2 Snake Eyes
x1 Duke

[CharIJoe]

[sirt8669]

^You get around, damn^

[darthdoug]

Fellow Collectors:

I have some Wave 7's if needed. I only buy 1 of each MOC and occasionally open a few but picked up on a set of W7 that were all dog-eared by that douche bag that bends them all (I'd love to catch that guy). I bought them just incase I could not find them mint. I no-longer need them. So if anyone needs some W7 and don't mind a card that's got a crease here's what i have:

Snake Eyes (w/butterfly knife) (1)
Wild Bill (1)
Viper (25th logo) (1)
Spirit Iron Knife (1)
H.I.S.S. Tank Driver (1) (although I'm contemplating opening him)

First-come, first-serve...

How bad is the card on that Hiss Tank driver?

[Tunnel Rat]

I went to a couple of walmarts in tampa last night to get some fishing gear, and i wlaked over to both toy sections on the 2 dale mabry locations and they had a few wave 7 and no wave 8 except for 1 bent up C.C. I am also lookin for the wave 4 comics so if anyone sees them please let me know.

[Rocky]

I am also lookin for the wave 4 comics so if anyone sees them please let me know.

Arent we all.........LOL. But if I see an extra set out there, I will let you know.

[sirt8669]

They had a bunch of Wave 4 comics at the Super Target in New Tampa off Bruce B Downs.

[X-factorz]

I just picked up a Zartan and Commando SE at Target today. They had a few Spirits and Vipers as well. Does anyone know of a revision case with these figures together?

The Walmart by me had the wave 8 C.C. but nothing else left. I guess I was a day late.

[CharIJoe]

i am not in my usual territory.

pinellas park walmart had 3 boxes of "wave 4 revision 3" cases with

(what.. the... hell)

firefly
zartan
wave 5 snake eyes
wave 7 duke
spirit
wave 4 cc
and 2 25th anny vipers...



so freaking random...


and sirt8669 officially saved my life...
i have my wave 4 comics... and i get to go on my trip
he is the best!

yay!

wooo hoooo hooo.

[CharIJoe]

i am driving. so i cant fully post the horrendous event i just witnessed..... i am sure sirt will fill you in later but he was in fact toyjacked by a little old lady.. lol

however the joes were later safely recovered..

[sirt8669]

Yeah, that was quite interesting. Me and CharIJoe were opening those boxes they got in and I was about to open the second box when a little old lady asked what we were doing and I said that we were about to buy these toys and she said that we can't open those boxes and then she took them. She went to the back and we heard over the intercom that they needed security at the toy department.

Then like 3 employees showed up and we talked to them about the box that the little old lady took from us and they didn't really care and the guy from the toy dept got the joes from her when she came back out with them. Was a lot of fun, haha.

I have some extra joes and thanks to CharIJoe I have almost completed my sets!

[Tunnel Rat]

If there are any collectors out there that collect 80's and 90's vechiles check out this add on craigslist from tampa that I found. He has 22 vechiles and parts for sale. I posted the site below. I talked to him on the phone and told him i was gonna post it for him on here. he is really nice and his name is A.J.
