I'll be bringing some vintage vehicles.

Night Force Night Raider

Anyone in the bay area selling a skystriker?

You could hook up with mamichula or firefox and give them the money and they could pick it up for you from either stoner or swafus.... just a thought.

Undead bro, you really should try to make the meet. No way you could carpool with someone.

I'm sorry guys, I really wish I could go, but my family and I are really busy right now. If it's ok with Mutt I'll call his house on the 30th during the meet just to say hi to everyone. Also, I'll probably host another Bay area meet at somepoint over the next few months once I have free time, so I can meet you all in person.

Is it true someone is making basement DVD's of the DEEK series? (spelled how it's pronounced to avoid stupid jokes)

PM me w/the details.

Also looking for two bench press bodies LMK, I'm wanting to do a self custom and it's the only figure fat enough LOL

Thnx

Anybody having any luck finding PTE toys in the bay area? I'm specifically looking for the humvees.

Scotty97

10-22-2010, 01:32 PM

strangely enough, I've only seen them at one BL in the C.FL area, and I think it was one in or around New Port Richey. My store up here used to be stocked to the gills with them this time of year, but now it's all Little Birds and the SEAL Boat thing.

Scotty97

10-22-2010, 03:13 PM

Shortly after posting the above about being full of little bird choppers and SEAL Boats, I went to run some errands and stopped by my local Big Lots. This is the sad remnants of the PTE section.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v56/Scotty97/2010-10-22144410.jpg

I asked someone if they had moved them, thinking maybe they were making an expanded holiday section. Nope. They just sold what they had and stopped. Thanks Inverness Big Lots!

PM me w/the details.

Yes, I am making copies. I will send you a PM. To this point, I sort of had a few requests to make people a set but no one has sent me a PM like I asked. I got a bunch of requests in this 414 page thread but I am not keeping up with that mess. I just can't do it. So, I will try one more time.

If you want a set of the DIC cartoons on DVD at Mutt Meet, you must send me a PM making your request. No PM = No discs = All your friends pointing and laughing at you. Each 8 disc set takes 1 hour to burn on my system. It is kind of pain the ass so I am asking for $10 for each set for the cost of the blank discs and for the pain in the ass you inflicted on me. :) The discs will not have any fancy labels or cases. Just 8 discs with numbers on them in disc sleeves.

To this point, I have zero requests. So right now if you think you have a set coming, you don't. Send me that PM.

Tampa Bay Comic Con (http://www.tampabaycomiccon.com/)

Oh no, I am not falling for that event again. I am pretty sure you weren't at the last show because I didn't see any booths as good as you mention here. In fact, I saw no good booths. It was without a doubt the worst convention/show I have ever been to. I'm sure your booth will be good, but there has to be more than 1 decent booth for me to want to go.

Un-dead Soldier

11-07-2010, 09:44 AM

If anyone is going to the Tampa Bay Comic Con tomorrow, make sure to stop by my booth and say hello. I likely be the only seller with multiple cases of Transformers and some other lines including GI Joe. I will have a sale where the discounts change every two hours. Just an FYI for those who are considering going. I heard they sold out all the tables thus time around, so there will be more dealers.

Tampa Bay Comic Con (http://www.tampabaycomiccon.com/)

Hey were you by chance the guy with the booth at the last con who was selling all the transformers. You were also selling a PIT with several ROC figures for $50.

Not locally at all. I have see the wave 2 Alpha's, but not the Bravos. It seems that Target is not carrying the Bravos at all. TRU has them and I believe Wal-Mart does too. TRU is packed with wave 1 but hopefully those will start to clear out to make space for wave 2 with Christmas coming up.

You did come by the booth near the end with the jedis in tow. I was wearing the USF shirt with the wooden display cases filled with Transformers up front and the boxed stuff behind me. I had the original Boxed G1 Omega Supreme & Optimus Prime behind me, as well as the Pitt w/ 5 figures for $40.00. Also I was doing the hourly sales, which was 20% off the last 2 hours of the show.

This was my last Tampa con as a dealer.

I remember now, you told me about the 20% off. There were a few guys standing there looking at the loose TF's.

I have a Boxed G1 Omega Supreme myself! Such a cool toy!
Though Im not a TF collector any more really.

Thanks for stopping by the booth. I'm located in Lutz. Transformers are my main collection (3500 - 4000 pieces), but I have the majority of the 25th Anniversary Joes in addition to Batman/ Superman. Right now, all my Joes are packed away, while all my Cobra figures are on display around the Terrordrome. Once I get my Flagg together, then I will get all the Joes on display again.

I will keep you in mind if I do run across a Widow.

What are you looking to get for that Wraith variant?

I've actually found one of those at the Marshalls by my house, I wasn't even looking for it, I was buying a shirt and tie and decided to look to go to the "toy section" and there it was, I've looking for one for like ever, and I just lucked in to one.

Has anyone been able to find Alley Vipers POC in the Tampa Bay area. I have been checking the usual stores since they started arriving but have not been able to find one. I havent even been able to buy one.

Found one at a new TRU, think they received in ione of the revision cases. If the rev cases start to hit, you should be able to find one. You may have to beat up a scalper or two though to get it.

Hey guys....I have two things I thinking of getting rid of. A BBI F-18 Jolly Rogers (Black one) MIB and the Motorworks 1:18 Super Cobra. The Cobra I am including 2 21st Century Chopper Pilots (the original pilot was a random generic figure). I am just posting it here in the Florida sightings group because right now I have no time to ship them and I only wanting to do pick ups or meet-up. I live in Winter Springs. If any of you guys are interested in them PM me. I have no idea what they are going for right now.

This is a picture of the Cobra:

Hall OF Heroes (Complete Set)
ARCTIC HISS'
Ghost Hawk
Cobra Stinger
TRU Exclu 5 pk w/Zartan set

AT-ST exclusive (Picked up one more for the fun of it)
Gamorrean Guard (x3)
Admiral Akbar (x2)
Wicket (x2)

There's a party center in Lake Carlton Arms in Tampa. Peeps who live there can reserve it for pretty cheap (or free). I can always check with a friend of mine on the space.

So for the Miami hunters, I went to the TRU at International mall today. They had all thier Joe stock out on the floor. I mean all of it! some boxes where on the floor cause they didnt fit in the shelves. Didnt see any Bravo wave 2 so I asked the manager to check the UPCs for me. They had no info on it, no ship dates no nothing. That means it hassnt even hit the distribution center for South FL yet. So for now looks like TRU wont have diddly squat for at least another 2-3 weeks.
The manager is a friend of mine from way back, she'll let me know when she has info and I'll pass it on.

Anyone else having better luck?

Or maybe there are some others stores in nearby area with ROC/POC? Will you help a tanker from Poland where Mole Pods costs 27$ :/.

I was by that store last week and I belive they has plenty of Sting Raiders, these can be found in good numbers at any TRU. As far as a $27.00 (you guys in EU are getting ripped off) mole pod, those can be found at any TJ Maxx or Marshalls Depatment stores for $5.99, they also have 25th carded figures, and plenty of ROC figures for $3.99, along with GI JOE Hall of heroes figures for $5.99.

The guy in Apopka mentioned two bravos but never posted pics or nothing. Even when South FL finally gets stuff Miami is always like 3 weeks out from the rest of the cities.

What kills me is the lazy staff down here. I was in Tampa when Wave 1 came out and every single TRU, Target and Walmart I hit the people where kind and actually looked for stuff. Down here its like "hey can you tell me if you have any of these in the back?" follwed by a response like " Look meng, whateva we got on de shelf iz what we got okey!"

And dont gimmie that whole "call corporate, tell a manager, complain about the attitude" cause we all know 1. they dont care when you complain and 2. Miami people dont like to snitch.

Just gotta keep hunting till they are on the pegs.

I think Miami tankers should form an underground. I hunt with a fellow tanker and we get ressults. If we had others team up we could have this city under lock and it'd be the scalpers crying about the lack of product.

Has anyone seen any wave 2 Veh.? Down here in South Florida Palm Beach County, I have heard of one member finding a Vamp at a Super Walmart. As of right now, ever reg. Walmart does not even stock G.I Joe POC, WTF? Right? I don't understand it.

We have seen wave one with a delayed release, compared to the dates given for their release. I want to know what everyone else is seeing around their neck of the woods?

Wave 1 Bravos had a very small release at TrU, they shipped like 2 in a box or something weird like that. Super Walmarts are just starting to put wolfhounds and hiss tanks on the selves.

Feel a little cheated by the stores and Hasbro. They put these pack in fold outs of Vamps, and Rages and it feels like we will never see them around here.

I'll be sure to report my findings - if any - over the course of the upcoming weeks. If California to Tennesse saw theirs in one day, we shouldn't have long to wait.

The Super Walmart in Okechobee just finished doing some sort of re-set. No Bravos and no Wave 3. In fact the pegs are all empty. I asked but got no help from them.

The price of new Joes is eternal vigilance my friends!

I am at Super Walmart now and there are no Wave 2 Bravo vehicles here. Just asked someone and they said they have not received any Joes for a while. Had him run the sku for the Bravos for the nearest Walmarts and nada. Not sure what Walmart you were at but not one of them within 50 miles has them.

Haha! I had a friend when I was a kid and whenever I would get something new, he claimed to have a mysterious and superior item. Like:

Me: Hey look, I have the Terrordrome.

Friend: Yeah, that's cool! My dad got me the red version that he got from a friend who works for his company. It came with like eight special figures that can't be sold in stores.

Me: Can I see it?

Friend: No, it's at my other house.

He did that all the time, with like everything. This sort of reminded me of that and how I should have looked into his claims. XD

I actually had a girlfriend that did that shit LOL. I had bought this cd back in high school and she said oh I have that cd. I said nice, and asked her if I could listen to it when I was at her house since I was into that song and she said it just got stolen. That was her excuse for almost everything.

Hah! Oh man, I'm glad it wasn't just me. XD

Well, we're about to enter the weekend. Fingers crossed, gentlemen. If I see anything in the Hollywood/Hallandale region (which means Miami/Ft Lauderdale would have them out, too) I'll be sure to message from my phone!

Tha might be a good sign there, maybe it slipped out of the back room. That happened to me once at the TRU in Hialeah, with the first wave of the ROC figures, they had put them out about 2 weeks before the release date, and I grabbed some but when I took them to the register to pay the cashier said she couldn't sell them to me, she called the manager over, and he told me they weren't supposed to be out on the floor yet, so he had one of then stock guys pull them out of the floor.

I was at that very Ross where I found it last night which means they are stocking in the mornings before opening cause it wassnt there last night. If dolphin mall got it coral way and mall of Americans should have it too.

At the Target on Boynton Beach Blvd. I saw the last remnants of Wave 3 of POC. There was a single Wave 3 Storm Shadow. No sign of Shock Troopers, Snake Eyes, or Duke though.

They also had the Ice Cutter.

Edit...Sorry...didn't realize this was already posted.

I checked 3 more Rosses en route home, nothing to report. I'll be attacking them at opening time tomorrow, so we'll see! : )

12-11-2010, 04:38 PM

Both a Target and Wal-Mart in Davie have next to nothing, unless you're looking for Recondo, Dusty, Destro or action feature Snake-Eyes. Only vehicles at WM were wave 1 and 2 alphas and wave 1 bravos and mechs.

Ross on Sheridan in Hollywood had next to nada, a couple Monkeywrench/Tunnel Rat packs and a couple MARS trooper sets. Only thing worth picking up was a Ghost Hawk, which I did.

If anyone sees wave 3 figs or wave 2 bravos in the Davie area please let a brother know.

12-11-2010, 05:26 PM

Okay guys, now that I'm home I can give a proper report! XD

I found two HISS tanks and two Furys at the Ross on NE 163rd St, North Miami, FL (for those of you with GPS) but the other spots I scoped out (Rosses on US-1, Pembroke Pines and Hallandale Beach Blvd) had nothing at all. To be fair, the Ross on 163rd is in a very nice mall, so they might be a little ahead of the more... uh... "regional" Rosses. ; )

I'll be browsing those stores and others tomorrow and if anything new surfaces, I'll post here at the time of discovery.

Also... I HAVE SHIT TO PROVE. XD

When you are in Ross, make sure you look around the whole store and not just the toy section. My store had the new Joe vehicles on an endcap near the front of the store. I also so other toys spread throughout. Obviously they are doing this setup for the Christmas season.

Also, opened 2 Hiss Tanks, both are black.

They had 4 Fury before I got there Friday :) Almost bought 2 but I have both Rages already. Anyways to all Florida Tankers, check this out

Let's see....I grabbed one and my brother (garoquel) grabbed another one, and there were 2 VAMPS left and 4 Furys.

I didn't get the Fury cause I snagged one along with a HISS at the ROSS down the street from there.

Tom-1

12-12-2010, 03:25 PM

Thanks for the heads up, Galac - nice to know the VAMP will be an easy grab if it's at Walmart. : )

So you guys know, I did an extra-wide search today of about six Ross stores (Sawgrass, Sunrise, Plantation and Hollywood areas) and nothing to report. I guess Ross -as a business - isn't symmetrical with their stocking of new items. : /

12-12-2010, 05:33 PM

Galactron, or anyone who has a VAMP, would you mind posting up the UPC number for it?
I went to the Walmart on Okechobee hoping they would have them as well but they didnt. I got the name of the department manager so Im gonna go talk to her tomorrow see if she can order it or rumish through the back room. I know they have it, they got nothing on the shelves, NOTHING I TELL YOU!

On a side note does anyone seriously know why the Fury and black HISS got to Ross stores before it hit TRU, Walmart or Targets?
How the hell does that happen? I work in retail, in fact I'm the inventrory manager for the largest Borders Books and Music in South FL. If I had a brand spanking new item that got to bargain racks before the regular shelves had it stocked that would be the end of my career!

12-12-2010, 05:48 PM

Mu,

I am by no means an authority on the subject - so take my word with a bit of skepticism - but from what I've gathered here and there the 'revision' case (black HISS) was sold off by Walmart and other retailers due to the average/poor sales of the original brown HISS. This is why the VAMP/Fury case is showing up at regular (non-discount) retail, because it doesn't have that negative 'HISS' name, like the revision case does.

This could of course be strictly rumor and assumptions, but it would seem to make sense what with the VAMP and Fury appearing at Walmarts now.

If we see the black HISS at regular retail sometime soon, I guess we'll know that idea was wrong! : )

I did? I don't remember calling you an idiot for that. Don't get me wrong, you are an idiot. But just not for that. :) I just figured you didn't buy it because of that new line of expenses that you brought home about 2 months ago.

I do like the new VAMP but that red suspension sucks ass. Someone said that Hasbro did that because a red suspension in the racing community is supposed to mean something. I guess that is good for them, but the VAMP isn't a racing vehicle and it really makes it look like crap. The suspension doesn't even function that well. That is the only negative thing about it. Other than that, it is a great vehicle.
