Hi Joe fans. Man I was actually as that Marshalls today before the pats game and all they had was the dvd # 2 pack. If anyone finds the best of the 80's could they either stash it or buy it for me. I would be very thankful. Also nice to see the tru 5 packs are out. Nice to see some things showing up.

I found this gem back at the Target at the Warwick Mall. It was the only 1 they had out. They still have 2 of the Wetsuit pack, 1 of the SS motorcycle, and 1 of the Air-Viper w/ the Rocket Pack. They also had 1 PP SE w/ a black Timber. The top right corner of the car was bent though.

Walmart at the RI Mall had 2 Mantis Subs and 1 Sky Sweeper last night. $15.99 I believe.
Someone grabbed the two battle stations that I left behind at the Post Rd. Walmart. I haven't seen them again yet.
The Target on Bald Hill Rd. (not the Warwick Mall) had the wave 2 deluxe exclusives (no Snake Armor). Either someone grabbed it or it didn't get put out.

thanks to an awesome heads up from dreadknock, TRU.com has the RoC TRU exclusive Sting Raider listed for order. placed my order for 2 this morning.
If anyone comes across a city strike snake eyes and a snake armor, can you please either hide them for me and let me know where to pick them up or if you can purchase them for me and I will pay you back. Dreadknock will confirm for you that I am good for it. Thanks.

I'll keep an eye out SS73.
Smithfield Target only has the Easter AVAC set and a the Grand Slam set today (multiples of each). Seekonk Target had the same assortment of sets yesterday as well.
Edit: I forgot to mention that Smithfield Target also had several PP Se w/ black Timber. They were old though as the date code was the 112th day of 2009.

Yeah, I've only seen one at retail that I traded to a member here for a white coat Doctor Rex and an Aero Viper from the Crimson Hydra. I had one from eBay that I sold to Joefan1973 for less than I paid for it. I got mine by paying more from BBTS in the first place.
I'm not finding anything since I found that 1 Snake Armor. Well, I guess that's not true...just nothing that I need/want/that interests me. I've seen wave 2 Alpha vehicles at Coventry and RI mall Walmart. I've seen the battle stations at Coventry and Seekonk Walmart. Otherwise, not much. There was an Arctic Threat SS at Kmart in Cranston on Friday, but the rest weren't there and even he is gone now. I saw City Strike Duke, Charbroil, and Red Fang Ninja (1 of each) at the Kmart in Attleboro on Friday. Those figures don't interest me in the least.

I guess that's the revision case that people were talking about (Charbroil, Red Fang Ninja, black tattoos Night Adder, black coat Doctor, Arctic Threat SS, CS SE, Arctic SE, Arctic SS).
Has anyone found a Desert Viper yet? I'm not dying for him, but I'd pick one up if I found him.
Hey Fast Draw...I picked up an extra Desert Viper today.
Seeing on how you've helped out so many fellow tankers on here, he's yours if you want him. No mark up, just what I paid for him of course.

Yeah I saw those at TRU today too and was gonna let you know but as usual you already found them first! ;)
Also at TRU today there was some guy maybe in his 30s or 40s who cherry-picked just the CS SE out of 2 fresh W5 R1 cases. I had spotted the unopened cases on the overhead shelf but didn't really care since I had found them at Walmart already. So I go look through other stuff and happen to end up back in the joe aisle. A TRU employee was on a ladder pulling the 2 cases down for a guy. The guy thanks the employee, opens the 2 cases and cherry-picks only the CS SE out of the cases, then takes the rest out of the cases to put on the pegs (how nice of him). The older lady that is with him asks if he's buying both, and he replies something like "its city strike snake eyes, you pick up every one you can find". Just wondering if it was anyone from the tank.

Damn...I had actually got them online and they arrived yesterday. The stores have been crazy. I paid a little more, but got free priority shipping and 10% off. That just figures though. The Warwick TRU didn't have any TF Muggs out anywhere on Saturday. Oh well I guess. I wasn't going back to that area for a few days at least. I wonder if they'll even be there then.
Walmart on Post Road in Warwick has a boatload of the Ninja Battles and Battle Stations. Tons of them opposite the regular section next to the wrestling figures.

Kamakura? At a Walmart? That would be new. I'm guessing you meant to say Charbroil?
Fast_Draw
12-17-2009, 01:40 AM
Yea, I haven't seen Kamakura anywhere other than Walgreens and CVS.
As far as that guy saying "it's CS SE, you buy 'em all" like they're going out of style, that's kind of funny. I think they've reached the point where they're readily available without too much effort. I've left plenty behind. I own 1 loose and 1 MoC.
I had bought one on eBay before they were released and sold it for less to a local tanker. I bought an extra MoC and traded it for a loose white coat Doctor and an Aero-Viper (from Crimson Hydra). I bought another extra MoC and traded him for a Desert-Viper. I bought yet another extra MoC and that is the one I still have. I'd probably trade him for a Nitro-Viper (Steel Crusher) if someone had one. I think I've seen about 8 - 10 others in the wild.

Um... no I meant to say Kamakura. the walmart did have charbroil too. but I think I know the difference between the 2 and kamakura was on the peg. 3 to be exact.
I agree w/Fast Draw. Since he helpped me out with finding CS Snake Eyes, I have a total of 3 MoC and 2 loose and I have seen a sudden explosion of these on pegs. even wally on rte.6 in seekonk had 3 of these last night.

If anyone is still looking for the 2-packs or the battle stations, check your local Walmart. The one closest to me had them both at 50% off ($6.98 and $7.48). It seems many Tankers across the country are finding them at these prices. I grabbed a Surveillance Port for $8 with tax.

Well, I'm not sure what the status is now at these stores, but:
Walmart RI Mall: I never saw them here
Coventry Super Walmart: Had about 4 cases worth
Walmart on Post Rd in Warwick: Had several cases, only 1 Heetseek and 1 Surveillance Port left
Swansea Walmart: Had 4 cases
Seekonk Walmart: Only had a few left a couple weeks ago
Dartmouth Walmart: Had a ton in the Christmas section
Attleboro: I didn't see them there, but that was probably in November
I don't think I've been to any others. Sorry, wish I could be of more help. My guess is that these are going to disappear since they're on clearance and from my understanding the stores have no control over whether they get them or not.

They're back... Walmart RI Mall restocked pegs full of ROC waves 1-3. Ugh. The week before xmas the pegs were mostly empty except for Baroness and Cover Girl, but now after xmas they restocked full of the old crap again. Wtf!
As of last night that Walmart also had 2 each of the cobra heatseek and surveillance battle stations in the clearance section (by the pet food), but no outpost or law. Strange that I've never ever seen battle stations at that store before but now all of a sudden they have a few in clearance. Maybe someone returned those for full price after scoring extras for the clearance price?
If anyone spots MP Skywarp clearance priced, please LMK. Both Warwick Walmarts had about 10+ units each but were still full price.

Wow thats a rarity! I just got my Cyborg Superman, Steppenwolf & Dessadfrom BBTS on Saturday but I havent seen that wave here at local retail. I managed to find Joker, Man-Bat and Powergirl @ Wal-Mart in Seekonk. Do you or does anyone have an extra Green Parademon?
Target in Lincoln had one Jungle Assault Ripcord and 3 Then and Now Snow Job sets as of 9:30pm last night. Everything else was from the previous waves.

AT-ST (Wal-Mart Exclusive)
Dewback and Sandtrooper (Wal-Mart Exclusive)
These are starting to be put on clearance in different parts of the country but I haven't had any luck finding them marked down in RI.
Yeah I've seen these in clearance section along with MP skywarp, but of course they were still full price and not actually marked down any because walmart likes to do crap like that. Did see the SW evolution sets were half off though.
The Target in Lincoln isn't discounting yet. I hope to get to the Warwick Mall Target this week and see.
I've seen AT-ST on endcaps (which for WalMart can mean a clearance item) with EVO sets and I've seen Dewbacks in the clearance section - all at full price. I hate getting duped. I got excited to find them and went to the scanner only to learn they are full price.
I did manage to pick up the Rebel Pilot EVO set for 50% off.
WalMart in Cranston had one Joe figure I could see - it was City Strike Duke. Tons of Star Wars figures in multiple isles but hardly any Joe items. I didn't check this time but just after Christmas that WalMart had the Turbo Tanks on sale for $50 if anyone is looking for one.

Both warwick targets were at 75% off clearance today(saturday). There were still 4 x $5 rescue mission sets at the old warwick target when I left, none at the warwick mall target which was mostly cleaned out.
Past/present sets were 30% off at old warwick target, so looks like the remaining target exclusives are starting 30% clearance now. The warwick mall target did not mark down the exclusives yet. I think old warwick target had SW tie fighters, warwick mall target had x-wings, but I'm not familiar with SW vehicles so I don't know what is what.

No Night Ravens? Weird...they had a ton the other day. Not that I care because I'm not looking for it, but I just find that odd. Unless they marked them down to $10 (they were $19 last I checked). I could see them being cleaned out for $10. They're slow there though. They still have a ton of Sky Warps...at $60. They have had the PS2 controllers at $19 for over a week now, haven't sold any, and they still won't lower them more. $15 or lower and I'm grabbing an extra.

Hey Stormshadow. I think So. Yes it is. The other one is near the mall. To answer your Question I think they have them all just not the room to put them all out. They have the Five Packs, the Superman and batman from that pack out. The left overs of Wave 7 and wave Four. They have been leaking out the Wave 11. Outside of Superman and Batman/Flash Rereleases they had. Mr. Stewart, Katum Tui, Shark,(last week I picked them up) and just yesterday I picked up Cyborg Superman, so yeah I think they have them in the back I sometimes think I should ask if they do I need a Question and a Deadman so I can build Kilowag. As for the Nightravens They never had a crazy amount of them but they have been moving stuff around I think they could have moved it but I didn't spot one. I know the Mall Walmart has many.
Also a good spot for 25th Stuff it Stop and Shop's. I picked up a Blowtorch today. They had Two Firefly's The 13th wave, Dreadnock Torch, Two comic packs The Viper/Grenadier, and the Cobra(fred) with Gung Ho. Just last week they had the two packs of Scrap Iron and Wild Bill as well as Deep Six and Rock N Roll. It's my small bit of heaven.

Hello fellow tankers. I am selling alot of my collection due to some financial hardships. They are all in display condition and never played with. I figured before I put them on eBay i'd give my fellow tankers an opportunity to take them off my hands. I am a member on eBay w/a 100% feedback rating. All transactions will take place through PayPal. I have pictures so if anyone is interested send me a PM with your email addy so I can send you the pics. I will let this run for about a week from the time of this posting, then the remainder will go up on eBay. I tried putting the pics on here but it keeps giving me a "security key is missing" error message. Any questions feel free to contact me and thank you.

I checked a few Marshalls (EP, Attleboro, Cranston) and TJ Maxx (Seekonk, Warwick, Smithfield, and Attleboro) stores this week. I didn't see any singles besides those lame VvV accessory-less ones.
Marshalls in Attleboro had 1 Firebat for $12.99 along with wave 6 and 7 CPs for $6.99.
Marshalls in Cranston had a Firebat, Sharc, Ram/Flight Pod, and a Vamp. They also had wave 6 and 7 CPs, combat heroes, and a couple Mighty Muggs for $5.99 (1 Destro and 1 Duke).
Good deal on the CPs. I don't have any from wave 7, but they're just repaints anyway (IG/Viper, BA CC/Gung Ho, and Deep Six/RnR).

Hello everyone. I haven’t posted on here in a while. And it’s mainly due to the fact that I have lost a lot of interest in this line. I am not happy with the way Hasbro has treated this line, and combine it with the fact that there is nothing new out for quite some time, my passion for collecting GI Joe is gone. I never was real happy with the RoC line and now it’s like bare pegs where Joe’s are supposed to be, and it’s gotten so bad that I was at Target and the remaining Joe’s on the pegs were marked down to $3.00. That’s pretty pathetic. I think I am going to put what remains of my Joe collection on eBay and sever my ties with this line. I still plan on attending Joe Con, mainly because my 11 year old son wants to go. Perhaps if they kept the 25th Anniversary Line going or made a full run of Resolute I probably would’ve stayed on board and collected.
While I will always be a fan of the 25th genre, I bid farewell to collecting GI Joe. Thank you Hasbro for sucking the passion out of me buy destroying this line.

Seeing the new line up close and personal was the highlight. Based on the look of the line, I made my first overseas purchase, ordering POC Snow Job from ws toys on ebay.
I'm moving away from the vintage/25th anniversary line and concentrating on ROC, POC, and Resolute style figures so I didn't really dig deep into the vendors stuff. I took a casual look and didn't see many deals for what I was looking for. Kind of disappointed that many of the ROC figures on clearance were above retail at some vendors. I'm sure I could have haggled but I wasn't in the mood. I did manage to grab single issues for the first GI Joe: Cobra series, which I was late in getting into.
Meeting Larry Hama was great, as was Robert Atkins, who was there unannounced at the IDW booth. I had him sign some issues of the new GI Joe comic. I wish there were a few more guests from either the cartoons or the movie.

Hello everyone. I just got back from searching high and low. In Warwick on Bald hill road Target has really only the Target exclusives. A lot of Serpent Armors. The DCUC are from Atom Smasher and back. NO Single GI Joe. Nothing new for Iron Man.
T J Maxx-Has a comic pack of Wild Bill and Scrap Iron. It's open in the back but both figures are present and complete.
Marshals-Jean Grey from the Marvel Legends in her x-men 3 evil look. Outside of that nothing.
I went to Toys R Us. They had all the two packs for the DCUC. From the MOTUC to the re/releases of the two packs. Green Lantern, Cyborg superman/mongul, Supergirl and Lex and superman/brainaic, Batman/clayface. They have a good amount of the Kilowag wave. They had the Attack on the PIT set on sale but I don't see much sale about it. Still have the CG pack and the Firefly ones. Also the DOC and Shipwreck figures.
P.S has anyone spotted a Vamp just sitting waiting for a new home at the TJ Maxx/ Marshalls around here?
Hey Atom...the TJ Maxx near me (in Quincy) still had one as of this past weekend, but the box is not in great condition. I can swing by and pick it up for you if you want.

Hi, I just wanted to thank anyone who stopped by the tag sale or passed the word on. The weather was great and it is always a bonus to meet some fellow Joe Fans and more.
So who scored from Squibbles' garage sale. I need info. I couldn't make it - family responsibilities. The kiddies wanted to go to the "Mr. Potato Head Park" aka Roger Williams playground.
Squibbles hooked me up with a complete Terror Drome (minus the Firebat) for $50 and a silver head 2007 SDCC PD Destro for $40. He is one hell of a good Guy!!!! :)

BTW...no sightings of the POC vehicles at TRU in RI or south eastern MA yet. :(

Warwick TRU had 1 of each. I found the Thrust in Dartmouth, MA last night while out shopping with the g/f.
Warwick was putting out the new Star Wars and had a ton of new TFs if anyone is looking for that stuff. They had the new Starscream and Optimus leader class, Hunt for the Decepticons, PowerCore Combiners (5-packs and 2-pack Commanders), WFC Optimus and Bumblebee, Sea Spray/Payload/Ratchet Voyager, and the stupid activators.

Yea, I figured after people were finding them in MA yesterday it was worth a shot. I went grocery shopping and then got there when it opened. They still had pallets on the floor and were putting stuff out. I'm sure they'll restock again soon. Swansea or Attleboro might have gotten them as well.

N. Smithfield Target had nothing. The same as the Warwick one save for one 1.37 PP Storm Shadow. The rest Deluxe. For DCUC they had Shazam from Kalibak, Shazam from revision case, Vigilante from Giganta, and Aquaman from Atom Smasher wave.
The Warwick near Aldrich is just choking me to death. Nothing new but I'm hopeful wave 14 shall come. I check regularly to see if I shall get lucky.

Hey I saw them there today too around 12:45pm, but they're probably gone now. After I looked at them, one of the worker employees came and took them away (to where I don't know). Another guy (customer) came around a few seconds later. He went straight for the joes so I told him if he was looking for the new vehicles he just missed them try asking the worker that just took them away. I don't know whether that guy was able to get them or not.

But when I got there they said they only had the Wolf Hound. I asked a manager and she asked the guy who brought them up. He said the Hiss tank was 'damaged' and they put it on the truck 2 be sent back. Another kid said they sold in 2 sum 1 else.

Oops sorry then! I was just trying to be helpful. Yeah they probably sold it to someone else. I picked it up and looked at it very briefly, I didn't notice any damage. That's funny they said they sent it back cuz it was damaged. I've seen items damaged or missing parts and they still have it out on the shelves for sale but with a sticker and a slightly lower price.
Why the heck why would they sell it to someone else if they pulled it off the shelf to hold for a customer? Maybe the other guy told them he was the one who called and asked for the hold.

They had them as late as 12:30 according to mynamehere. I'm sure they'll get them again as long as they keep selling. The case only has 1 of each so if they only get 1 case, then they're gone.
I put both of them together last night and put the stickers on. I really like both of them a lot...more than I initially thought upon seeing the first photos. The Snow Cat is pure nostalgia with an upgrade. White out is cool, too. He's got a new head sculpt.
Enzo, if you're having problems with his hood pull the goggles down a little more and make sure the fur on the hood faces forward. That did the trick for me. I don't care for the "updated" Hiss Tank driver. It just comes across as "OK, here's the new Hiss we designed boss." "Wow, awesome! Where is the driver?" "Oh shit...(runs off to FrankenJoe a figure). Here he is." I mean, I understand it needs to be Hiss Tank driver, but...they could have done much better than that.
Either way, I would highly recommend getting both if you can / are at all interested. I was on the fence and I'm really happy with both. Good hunting and don't be afraid to let me know if you're looking for something. I'll keep an eye and give updates like I always have. I'm hoping figures show up in the next couple of weeks. If I find a whole set at retail, then I'll cancel my preorder at BBTS.
SteelCity86
07-03-2010, 06:32 PM
I hear ya Fast Draw. I have a pre-order 4 both waves at BBTS as well. I noticed yesterday though that SmalJoes has single figs listed as 7/10 and sets for 8/15. But BBTS has everything listed as August. They even have some of the new vehicles and BBTS doesnt. Whats up with that? I would hate to have 2 wait an extra month because I chose BBTS. Although I wouldnt be buying them seperate anyways, so it really doesnt matter. $20 4 C Commander?!?!?!? WTF?!?!? Why?!??! And $35 4 the Hiss, no thanks.
As far as the vehicles I dont have a Hiss tank (Damn u myname!!!! lol, I swear, thats the last 1 :) ) but I did grab the Wolf Hound. I agree, awesome. Nostalgia factor alone is a 10, but the vehicle rocks either way. I think the new line has done an awesome job with all the Arctic stuff. Ice Dagger is prob.my fav vehicle from this line (the Rhino and the Hummer are both tight 2 tho) and the they've done a nice job giving us some good arctic figs, Ice Viper, Arctic SE etc.
Hiss tankl does look cool though. Ill know more when I get my hands on 1. Saw 1 on Amazon 4 $60 2day?!?!? ouch, lol

SmallJoes will have all of the singles and Resolute on the 18th supposedly.
The online stores get their stock at different times just like retail. SmallJoes and other online stores charge more for the rarer/hotter items in hopes to drive people towards the full sets. Otherwise, they get stuck with all the lesser items and won't be able to sell them all. It sucks, but it's reality if they want to stay in business. They're not Walmart/Target where toys are a loss-leader (they make their money on people buying other items when they are buying the toys).

Stopped in target - they had several of the target exclusives series with the storm shadow cycle and snake armor. I did not see any joe or bots on clearance, Also needed to stop in family dollar, no new joes but sadly had the the new avatar star stuff. Mechsuits and the figs themselves were both 5 dollars. Both were ones in warwick. I can only see this as a sign that we will not see the resolute series at family dollar.

As mentioned a page or 2 ago, last week I called TRU in Warwick and they sai they had 1 Hiss Tank and 1 Wolf Hound and they would hold them till I got there, but when I arrived they only had the Wolf Hound. They said the tank was 'broken', after what Myname said I think they sold it. Anyway, they apologize and say when the next shipment comes in they would hold 1 4 me and call 2 let me know "1st thing". Glad I didnt hold my breath. Stopped in this morning, no phone call from them but lo and behold, Wolf Hound and Hisstank in stock. 2 Wolf Hounds and 1 Hiss Tank. So I grabbed the Tank. Took a peak up front as I paid and nothing was held at the front desk. Last week they offered to either call me when it arrived "even if we only receive just the 1" or knock $$$ off the Hound. I obviously choose poorly :) But I got 1, so its cool. No POC figs (wasnt expecting any though) and 4 SW collectors nothing new there. All the pegs were full except the vintage and blue card which were all at least half empty. I didnt see anything they didnt have last week.

When were you there? Squibbles and I were there at 10. He grabbed the other Hiss. You didn't get the Wolf Hound either? All of the Joe stuff is going on sale on Sunday (Buy 1, get 1 50% off). If you bought both you could get a price adjustment starting Sunday. I bought mine on the 30th and they do adjustments up to 14 days. I'll be getting $13.37 back (including the tax). I was hoping they would have the 2 exclusive figures, but nope. Nothing new a Kmart in Cranston either.

Fast Draw always a pleasure to run into a fellow tanker. We were both hoping for the exclusives but no luck. When I left there were 2 wolf hounds and 1 hiss.
You know whats funny I have been hearing a lot of love for the wolf hound but I just cant bring myself to by another snow cat. Also the cockpit looks cramped for the newer style, I cant be sure I don't have one and hopefully don't regret it lol.

We must have just missed eachother cause I know I was there before 10:30, probably closer to 10:15-10-20 maybe. That sucks,would have liked to meet you guys.
I did buy a Wolf Hound last week, and the Tank yesterday. Do they have to be on the same receipt to do the buy 1/get 1 half off? If not on the same slip would I have to return them and re-buy them? I already opened them both :(
Oh and Squibs. I love the Wolf Hound. Def. happy I grabbed 1. I wouldnt say I like it better than the Hiss Tank, but it looks awesome next to my other Snow Cat. I guess it depends on how many you have, I just have 1 Cat, but the marbelized look on the new 1 is crazy sweet. I dont put the fig in the cockpit, I usually display the drivers outside the vehicles so you can see them better, but I did throw him in for a second and while it is a little snug, the canopy closed and it didnt look funny.
Maybe next time Ill get there a lil earlier and we'll see each other.
Fast_Draw
07-10-2010, 11:49 AM
I believe they do need to be on the same receipt, but you could always give it a shot. They were both bought within the 14 days and from the same store. It may be at their discretion, but they may tell you no because they're not on the same receipt.

Wow. The only GI Joe thing the newly reopened Target at the Warwick Mall had was the Night Raven (4 of them). They had all the new Transformers and some new Star Wars though (of course!). It appeared that they did their reset though because they had a space for the mechs (price tag on the shelf) and the other tags (figures for $6.99). They don't have any though and they only have 3 pegs dedicated to the singles. That's not good as they can probably only put out 12-14 figures and the cases contain 12 figures.
Nothing new at the other Target, Walmart at RI Mall, or Coventry Walmart. I went to TRU and got my price adjustment ($13.38 back). They have 2 Wolf Hounds and 1 Hiss Tank as of 10:30. It's so tempting to snag another Hiss, but I know we'll see a repaint and I'll snag that instead.

Bellingham had at least 3 cases on top to go along with the 12 full pegs. This is bullshit and most likely will delay us finding PoC at retail.

I only have that Thrust so far, but I have 2 sets on order with BBTS (along with wave 2 PoC).
Series 2 set of 4:
WFC Bumblebee
WFC Optimus Prime
Darkmount (Straxus)
WFC Megatron
Series 3/4 set of 4:
Red Alert
WFC Soundwave
Dirge
Blurr
The PoL savings brings the cost of each down. It ends up being about $6 more than if I bought all 8 at Target ($12.99 at Target). I think they're supposed to be $11.88 at Walmart though. I've seen WFC Bumblebee and Prime many times. It's not that I really want those two, but ordering those sets guarantees that I get the 6 I really want. The wave 4 case doesn't have Darkmount and would give me doubles of Blurr and Dirge.
Walmart and TRU not putting RoC and the older TFs on clearance has me somewhat concerned about finding the newer items soon-ish.
The only other TF I've got on order is that Grimlock. I'm hoping to score both Sarges on HTS along with the Prowl MM. Christmas for me will be early this year lol. What are you looking for besides Thrust and Drift?
Hit up TRU Warwick at 5pm and missed the snowspeeder. They did have 1 Cloud Car but I'm not ready to buy it yet.
I saw 1 Hiss Tank and 5 Wolf Hounds. No new figures, juts a ton of Docs and Shipwrecks along with a sprinkling of leftover ROC.
Nothing new with MU either. I found 2 Thors. Of course I ordered mine from smalljoes and paid through the nose. Now that I have it in hand and opened it, I find 2 as part of the 2 for $9.99 sale, plus I have a $5 rewards coupon.

Fastdraw where did you find your thrust? I cant find these figures anywheres. Maybe I will see you tomorrow.
Yo Joe!

Prob my last fri am stop due to school and work and let me tell you what I walked out with. Nothing and a whole lot of it.
The only think I saw new was what looked like the classic starwars figures series.

I found 1 at Dartmouth TRU on 6/29. My g/f were out shopping (she lives in Fall River) and I stopped in. They had 3 WFC Bumblebees, 1 Drift, and 1 Thrust by the afternoon. We've been a couple times since and they restocked with movie figures and more recently the Hunt for the Decepticon figures.

Target in Lincoln is a barren wasteland of toys. They are certainly ready for the GI Joe and Star Wars reset. I saw one SNAKE armor on an endcap for $5. Also had 2 Night Ravens but I didn't look at the price.
If you're a customizer, A-Team figures were marked down to $3. They had about 3 full pegs.

Was Thrust the only Generations figure they had? I'm just curious. I've got the ones I want on preorder with BBTS already.
I got my TRU Spirit and QK in the mail today from a trade. I haven't opened them yet, but they look cool. I really like the new cards. They are smaller than the 25th/modern era cards.

I thought I was missing something stormshadow73 lol.
So targets are getting the new MU. At least new stock is showing somewhere.

The Juggernaut was the only figure that was really new. Thor, Caps, Black Widows, Bucky's, a Red Hulk. I'm sure they had to have more in stock but I got juggernaut so for now I'm excited at finding something I want in the wild.

Nope, someone else did though...I only found 3 remnants.

Where was it FD? I already have mine, so I dont need them, just curious. I grabbed a set of 8 from BBTS, came in the other day. Then I grabbed Quick Kick and Spirit off of TRU.com so Im all set. Im not planning on getting multiples of any of the figs, even though they're frickin sweet. Maybe an extra CC so I can have 1 to open 1 to leave MOC, but thats about it.

Well I probably got there after you cuz I only saw 1 remnant (duke) left at the mall target.
So was it anyone here that scored all the POC singles from the mall target? Its gotta be someone that frequents this forum or some other joe forum, how else would they know exactly when POC Hiss first hit and now the POC singles? I wonder how many lurkers there are.
I saw the mechs at smitfield target, there was 1 of each if anyone is intersted. There is a MU Jugg there too.
Anyone have an extra ROC target deluxe Storm Shadow for the 75% clearance price? I've been waiting for it to finally hit 75% clearance, but I missed out, all that was left was air vipers and wetsuits! Even for $2.50 I didn't want those.

Oh, it was at Target? See, this is why Im so glad I just ordered them as a set. Who wants to drive around all over the place looking then be disapointed when they arent there. No thanks.
Has anyone seen any DC Universe or Blackest Night figs around? TRU has ljust about nuttin.

07-30-2010, 07:26 PM
They had a Duke, SS, SE, Doom Cycle, and Ghost Hawk. I didn't buy anything. I went to Walmart to buy a few things so I figured I would check. It's crazy because I was there earlier this week, used the DCPI, and it said none in stock. They must have just gotten them last night.
I've got a set of PoC wave 1 and the Resolute sets on order with SmallJoes. I'm just waiting for them to get PoC in, which should be any day now. I selected Priority mail so the package will be here quickly. Actually, all of my orders from SJ have gotten here in 3 days or less.
I think there are a lot of lurkers here and it may be better to PM each other. That's why I didn't answer right away because I PMed someone about some TFs.
I'd appreciate a PM if anyone has any sightings. I've had my money put aside for these figures the longest time. If anyone has seen any please let me know.

Fastdraw thanks for the heads up I appreciate it. I still want to find the tru exclusives. I called after work tonight and they said no new joes till next friday. I dont know if i believe them though, might stop by tomorrow anyway. Do they do that cause they are going on sale again. Yeah I got bbts order too, I would like to get a cc to open though. It seems like POC is finally dropping, seemed to take for ever compared to the rest of the country.
Fastdraw I work from like like 730am til the late pm for a while now. So I wont be running into you for a while.
I am still looking for tru exclusives (how are they fastdraw), Animated hotrod and animated ironhide and POC cc, oh yeah even a Varient Sgt. Slaughter.
