You're lucky you've found that much. I've found nothing since wave 6. It's gone back to empty pegs here in the Tulsa area. Haven't seen the Viper wave nor the new Bludd wave.

I've been able to find almost all the figures in the local Wal-Marts and Targets in Norman, Moore and Oklahoma City. I just picked up some of the Wave 8 figures today. Of course I go and look about 3 times a week I'm a bit of a GI Joe stalker.

Just picked up a Firebat from the muskogee walmart. There was a desert awe striker left there but the weird thing was that the shelf was full with two Hiss's, trouble bubble pack, vamp, and the Awe striker. So make me think that they may have some more in the back. When i asked about it, the guy scan the box and told me that more were coming on the truck tonight.
UPDATE went back to the wal mart and like that guy said, there was a unopened case of wave 3 vehicles but no sharc was in the box. Just hiss. So i took the fang and left the other firebat and awe striker there. Also they added more figures on the pegs. saw a few stalkers, flints, and firefly's.

Check your TRUs as they are out now. I really like this set. It only has the 4 figures of Duke, CC, SE and SS along with the Greatest Battle DVD. They were 4 of them there in Norman.
Here is what it looks like below, I still have to open it as I bought it on my lunch break.

The Figures are very good for characters that we already have. Too bad it was $24.99 plus tax for this though.

Well, I am feeling for Joe fans in OK. I am out here for a tech school, i stopped at every Wal-Mart and Target i could find and.... Nothing!!! No DVD packs, 5-Packs, vehicles... The only thing hanging on the pegs were a few Flints in Cobra gear, CC's with MASS element and the occasional Torch. I though Memphis was dry, OK is the No Joe Zone! I hope you guys have better luck with the movie stuff...

Bumble Prime
10-11-2009, 03:23 PM
has anyone seen the shadow cycle anywhere?
Wow, there actually is life on this board. If I'm going to make my first post, might as well be on the OK sightings thread. A couple of you might recognize me from the TFW2005 boards where I occasionally post on their OK sightings thread also.
The Storm Shadow cycle is in the second wave of Target packs, right? Haven't seen that yet around OKC and I hit a few Targets on Thursday (Midwest City, Quail, North May) and a couple today (Norman, 44th/Western) since I decided to come check out TRU's video game sale. Have yet to see any sign of the wave 2 exclusives, but I want a couple Serpent Armors and a couple Rocket Packs. Those, and the Walmart Battle Station packs, and the wave 5 Duke and Snake-Eyes.

I live in Tulsa and also found the new Snow Serpent and Benchpress at both Toys R Us yesterday. One at Woodland also had Rex, Baroness Paris Pursuit, Arctic Snake Eyes, etx. Forgot which wave it was. Did find City Strike Snakeyes and the rest of the wave last week at Kmart so those are hitting the pegs. Other than the the Target second exclusives with Storm Shadow have not seen yet. Have hit 2 super targets and three other targets and nothing.
FINALLY, some decent priced Joes in small town Walmarts. Duncan had ROC singles at $5 each, picked up one more Elite Viper (building to a squad of four). Nothing else special on the pegs, but I did see a Artic Snake-Eyes and black coat Rex. No battle stations yet, but they are supposedly hitting now.
Still looking for: ROC Singles: Kamakura, Night Adder, City Strike Snake-Eyes, City Strike Duke. Exclusives: Target Serpent Armor, Rocket pack, all four Walmart battle station sets.
+-MWG-+
Did a hunt on several of the OKC/Norman Walmarts, they do have wave 4/5 figures at a bunch of them. There seems to be a case with Charbroil, Red Fang Ninja, Artic Storm Shadow, Night Adder, and City Strike Snake-Eyes but that doesn't have CS Duke or Kamakura (who I didn't see anywhere). A few just have wave 5 figures. Got a set of the Battle Stations, minus the LAW set at Midwest City Walmart and there was another set and spare LAW when I left.
Still no sign of the second wave of Target Deluxe stuff, want a couple Rocket Packs and a couple Serpent Armors. That and a Kamakura, and I'm pretty much done.

I know I have asked this before and did not get any replies but thought I'd give it another try.
I don't have any friends that are into Joes and my wife is getting tired of me trying to talk to her about anything Joe related. She really stresses me out anytime she is with me when I buy stuff too. I mean come on, do all the bills really need to be paid?
Just thought it would be nice to find some local people to meet up with once in a while.

anybody seen anything about city strike snake eyes? I saw a kamakura once at the I35 wal mart in norman, but im guessing they are holding them till a christmas reset?
Walmarts seem to be getting CS Snake-Eyes frequently, think I saw one at Chikasha last wednesday. I see it quite often, but I hunt a fair amount of territory when I hunt.
Still praying to find the Serpent Armors and Rocket Packs (wave 2 deluxe I think they are called), anyone have any luck?

I-35 walmart in Norman had the new wave of figures that has red fang and City Strike Snake eyes. The had a bunch of the doctor too. Sadly the new wave had been picked over, and I got the last Snake eyes leaving only a bunch of Red fang ninjas and Night Adders.
There was also a lone Arctic Threat Storm shadow. Strange huh?
I did go by Target in Norman and picked up both the Serpent Armors and Rocket Packs and one of the Dragonfish, so these are finally in the area.

hey there is a paris pursuit snake eyes at the walmart on 12th in norman. Its on an endcap the aisle before the joes. There was also a city strike snake eyes , a fatigues ripcord, and another arctic threat storm shadow.
If anybody finds the toysrus acrtic threat Doc lemme know!
Guess its time for the first bump for this thread in nearly six months. Anyone have any luck scoring the Defense of Cobra Island set at a Ross store? I couldn't check earlier this year due to all the ice & snow screwing up everything. I did grab a couple Eels, a Para-Viper, and a Bazooka trooper from Big Lots in Lawton this afternoon.

I'm an Okie Joe, although not quite local, as you're hoping for. I'm in Tulsa, which is the equivalent of a fair-sized European country from OKC, so meeting up is pretty much a moot point. (Althoug hI was going to try an OK Custom Con, but with everyone so spread out [I've seen one other Tulsa, a Norman, and an OKC] that likely isn't going to happen).
But as far as toy sighting go: In April, I found both Cobra Island 7-packs at the 41st St Ross for $14 each. I've also found the odd figure (mostly Canadian packaged) in Tuesday Morning for between 3 and 4 $s each, and Biglots over in Town West has several late-series 25th figures (Para-Scarlett, Cobra Flint, Matt Trakker, Para Viper. Although I bought all the Para Vipers... Sorry).
As for everything else: Walmart has a few stragglers from RoC, and has jacked the price up to over $6, same for TRU, although they also have the Arctic Shipwreck.
Well, I hope this post helps, and happy hunting to all...
And I know this is a long shot, but anybody have leads on possible Resolute Cobras?

07-10-2010, 06:47 PM
Forget Stroud; It's a bit of a drive, but we should all go to the action figure museum in Paul's Valley :) And if we get enough pictures of the Joe display, we could have an interesting show and tell here on the tank.

No... I just saw the pictures online... Do they have a gift shop, or do you just raid the displays and pay as you leave? (Sarcasm, I swear! Although its not a bad idea...)
Ohh, quick edit: Do they have any information on Customizing, or do they focus just on the collecting/ playing aspects of AFs?

Not sure if you have seen the site or not yet. On the 1st page, there is a link at the bottom right so you can see a 360 view of the place. Its like $5 to go look around. They do have a gift shop, its nothing real fancy though.
Its not a HUGE place either.

Okay, onto the Penny Pincher's Report! (All Location are in Tulsa) The Biglots at Alameda and at Town West are both flooded w/ Parajumper Scarlett, although Town West has a few others. Both of those, along with the 91st and Memorial (don't know the shopping center) have an endless supply of singlepack RoC Combat Heroes.
Target (specifically the Tulsa Hills location) is in clerance mode, and the exclusive vehicle packs and the ripcord vehicles are out for $6.48. i was able to find three Serpent armors, and as far as I know they're all still there, so if you're looking for some, head out now! Also, they are COMPLETELY out of single-pack figures.
Elsewhere: single figures are still continuing to trickle through Tuesday Morning, so if you happen to bear near one, head over and be ready to dig.
I hope this is helpful...
Oh, anybody know if PoC is showing up anywhere yet?
JohnnyAngel77
07-18-2010, 01:20 AM
The TRU in NW OKC had the HISS and Wolf Hound. The Wolf Hound actually made me want to buy the TRU Doc and Shipwreck. Arctic figures where never a favorite of mine but they are growing on me.

Hey Hrothmeir, This might be old news but, the TRU on 71st and memorial has Hiss tank and wolfhound. They had 1 Hisstank and 3 Wolfhound left yesterday.

07-20-2010, 09:37 PM
Okay, confirmation on that last one, althought it looks as if someone purchased 2 of the Wolf Hounds. BUT: The Vintage Stock next door has a TON of loose/ partially complete RoC figures, although I bought most of them. They still have a Roadblock and a few others though, very affordable, especially for custom fodder. Happy hunting!

07-21-2010, 03:35 PM
Found Quick kick and Billy (Spirit) at the Toy R Us on 71st and memorial. There is 6 quick and 6 Billy in a case. They still have 4 quick and 4 Billy left. Also, they have a restock on Hisstank X2 and Wolfhound X3. The Toy R US across the street from Eastland did not receive any new GI joe's today.
Picked up 2 Spirit, 2 QK at Crossroads TRU this morning. Still seemed to have several of each as of 11 am.

Aww man, I may see if we can make a trip over that way then! Thanks for the heads up.
I had hit Norman TRU first and did not see them there. They did have the new Star Wars "vintage" figures, but refused to include them in the sale since it is apparently for figures $7.49 and less (those run $9.99 each, yikes!). Pity that the four Python troopers run $7.99 at Crossroads, or I might have got them also.

Found the Ghost Hawk and Doom Cycle at TRU by Quail Springs Mall 2 days ago. No figures yet though other than the exclusives.
Hopefully Walmart will come off their $9.99 per single figure BS and actually go with the rumored price that is under $6 after the resets. I'm ready to see Walmart and Target packed with PoC and Transformers Generations already.

08-05-2010, 05:37 PM
I am pretty sure that everyone in Oklahoma found the POC line by now. Toy r US on 71st had 1 cases in last Friday but one of the workers bought all but 4 figures. I found these figures at Target this Monday. I know that all the Target has all the new Transformer and MU too.

Are the Spirit and Quick Kick's gone at this point? I have been going to TRU by Quail Springs and Crossroads and Have yet to see any. I did meet someone (JediZ?) at Crossroads who said he got some a week ago, but is that it? Did Shipwreck and Doc's warming the shelves influence hasbro into smaller production runs?
I'm dying for these two figures; if anyone spots them, please let me know.

Most of the Wal-mart here in tulsa recieved 4 cases of POC per store. There 6 wally words in tulsa and borken arrow.
9 AVs out of 4 cases?
Made my OKC sweep yesterday. Crossroads TRU and Midwest/Del City WM were the only places to have many figures, but got 4 AVs, a Firefly, CC, and Beachhead all told. Anyone checked that Toys R Us "Express" on Northwest Expressway by Target? I saw it, but didn't bother to go in. I am wondering if they have much in the way of action figures.

JohnnyAngel77
08-13-2010, 06:46 PM
Ah, then you are the one that took all the AVs from Crossroads TRU. I walked in this morning to see they pegs pretty full for POC but no AVs. I just gotta stop going to that TRU. Its a good 30 minute drive and I never get anything there.
Curse you! :)
A couple guys going towards the Joe aisle as I was heading to the register said the same thing! But the Crossroads TRU is always decent to me, which is surprising given how the surrounding area has gone so far downhill in the last decade. It has been better stock-wise than Quail Springs, in recent months, and I actually know one of the guys that works there.
I only get into the OKC area once or twice a month anymore, so I have to fill up when I can. And given one of the local Walmarts doesn't even have spots for Joes at all, it is more irritating. At least the Targets seem to be sold down on singles.

(Forgot to even check for the new Transformers Animated figures, but found the Snow Speeder and Cloud Car at Target for $19.99 each).

I haven't seen anymore Spirit/QK, but I wouldn't worry too much. Doc/Shipwreck disappeared for a couple months early this year and are now available in droves.
I did finally manage to check that TRU Express on Northwest Expressway & Rockwell. It is a nice store, reminded me a lot of Kaybee stores. Only Joe item seemed to be the movie Night Ravens, but they seemed to be decently stocked on action figures in general.

Hey, news from Tulsa! the Memorial TRU has most of wave 2 out, as well as some of the later RoC figs. If you're looking for Kamakura or Nano Viper, now's your chance. (please don't get Nano Viper, I wish to purchase him in the near future :))
Got most of POC wave 2 at Midwest City Target last night. There were still two Jungle-Vipers (hid them at the back of the top Joe peg). Oddly enough, I did not see Recondo? And the only wave 1 figure was the carry-over Snake-Eyes.

I just grabbed the variant set today. Had a guy from TRU call me at 10:30 last night to tell me he just busted it and would hold one for me at the service desk. I would have been down to trade but this variant set is very nice looking. I didn't think I was going to care for it much but I was wrong.

You walked out of the Quail store with it right before I called and asked. I went to Crossroads and picked up a second regular set. If you come across another please pick it up.

10-27-2010, 12:39 PM
Ah, you have 2 regular sets? Nice man. I went in last week and asked about them and one of the employees and I started talking for a bit. He ended up taking my number and said he would call me. I was blowing through gas left and right trying to find these (12mpg doesn't go very far!).
Even made a few trips to Crossroads for it with no luck.
The manager said this morning there had already been a few people in there looking for them and somebody saw my set at the service desk and they were offering double for it, lol.

Found POC Fury and Hisstank at Ross in the Tulsa and Broken Arrow location. If anyone needs POC Alley Vipers, the super wal mart in Broken Arrow on elm has 2 on the pegs.
I grabbed two HISS from the ROSS store on NW Expressway & Rockwell (in the plaza with Target and TRU Express), and the one I opened was black. Also got my HoH Storm Shadow from the TJ Maxx out there, it was a buck more than TRU Express, but they have lots of HoH stuff.

Might as well toss this out there, if any of you in the OKC area manage to find some of the ROC wave 3 deluxe (the canceled Target exclusives) at ROSS and can pick them up for me, I would appreciate a PM. I can pay via paypal, but probably wouldn't be able to pick them up until after Christmas.

This guy refused to get me one, telling me I have to come back in a week or so. If I were looking for diapers or lawn chairs, he would have gotten as many as I wanted from the back. Only because I was looking for a toy, I get treated like this. This problem is, I just get mad, yet tolerate it. I should have raised a stink and talked to the manager.

That really sucks, I can't stand that stuff. I was there a month ago to buy an xbox and a game, and they tripped all over themselves to call another store to find the game that was out of stock at their store.
Then I go in a few weeks later, when they were resetting for TF and the supervisor asks me if she can help me, and I tell her I am looking for some new Star Wars figures, she says nope, that's all they have. As she's walking back to the other employees, I hear "I told you they were looking for Transformers". She told them, no, they were looking for Star Wars. So what if I was? I can't have them since you are going to put them out 1 hour later?
I think half of them have that mentality of "screw you collector asshole" for no good reason. Well, except that sometimes, we pester the crap out of them. But still, their job is to sell stuff, not safeguard a backroom of inventory.
What guy was in electronics?

I'm just really tired of the special treatment toy collectors receive by retail employees. If there were a soccer mom who was told that a certain dress that Target has was in stock, but not on the floor and then drove there and then told she cannot buy it now and come back later, do you think that would fly? Do you think the employees or a manager would deny her that at all? NO.
But, since I'm male, looking for toys, DENY DENY DENY. Even if I were to bitch to the manager, I'm sure I would get double teamed and walk out empty handed. Just because it is a toy.
Ridiculous.
I don't remember who the guy in electronics was, I don't remember what he really looked like. All I could see was red after hearing his line of bullshit.

I was able to pick up a Sky Striker at the Midwest City Target. I had to give them the DPCI number and they had to pull the case from the back.

saw 3 skystrikers on the shelf at the new moore target.
They also had the new 12 inch figures
Got my two Skystrikers from Target in Wichita Falls yesterday. It isn't that much further than OKC to me and we had stuff to do down there anyhow. I was walking through the food and an older lady just asked if she could help me. I'd looked it up on Targets mobile site and confirmed they had them by entering the number into one of their machines. She had a slight problem getting the number right on her handheld scanner, but eventually confirmed it and brought me the two I asked for. Scanned the UPC (for the price) and it said there were no more in stock so I guess an employee held one back.

I still looking for a POC Low Light. Has anyone seen the new revision cases with Low Light?

I picked up my Skystriker from Target in Yukon.
A few of us OKC collectors have started a Facebook group to keep up with local action figure finds and general toy discussions. Please do a search for Oklahoma Action Figure Collectors and join in.

Parma TRU had two Skystrikers last night at closing time on the bottom shelf. They also had about 7 Alley Vipers, a couple Dukes, one Beachhead, and a Shock Trooper. After I left there, I went to the Target around the corner, off of Ridge road. They also had two Skystrikers. They also had one Destro hanging on a peg, go figure. I add, three out of the four Skystrikers had nice boxes. These were all inline, not on endcaps. I also went to two local Walmarts, they had nothing.

South Tulsa TRU has Skystriker and some leftover RoC pull-cord vehicles. Most WMs also have the 12in figures. Can't find a single single-pack figure in the whole city, save a s2 Destro at the Tulsa Hills Target (secondary stores don't count in that statistic [which may not be wholly accurate, anyway])

Okay... The Wal*Mart across form ORU (Tulsa) officially has Joes back in stock.
2x Striker
2x Haz-mat Viper
1x Throwback McSucky Trooper
1x Brightly Colored Decoy troo-- er... Steel Brigade
Also, several SkyStrikers...
Hrothmeir
09-28-2011, 03:41 PM
More glad tidings from the Wal*Mart @ ORU: Renegades! CC, SE, Duke, FF, and others!
Also: 1 Iron Grenadier. I done hid him, as I desperately need him for a custom, but can't afford until saturday. So please, PLEASE leave him if you find him, eh?
Or Sell me a series 4 Destro... That would work better :)

Nothing out there like usual in terms of sightings. A lot of empty pegs with shelf space ready for the movie stuff at all of the Wal-Marts.

Just picked up a set of the new discount joes at dollar general.

I picked them up at the 44th and Sunnylane DG.

I have put the Duke, Trooper, Cobra Commander, and Shipwreck up for trade. I am looking for Defense of Cobra Island Alley Viper, Range Viper, and Night Creeper. I would prefer to do a local trade. Let me know.

I have that Night Creeper for trade; I'd be interested in CC or Shipwreck. Or PoC DESTRO!!!! if you happen to have it :)
Also: DG at Town West had all six figs (I got the Storm Shadow and Cobra Trooper) Happy Hunting!

I hit up 6 DGs and not a single figure. My priorities are Storm Shadow and the Cobra Trooper. If anyone sees any of these, please pick them up or let me know.

There's 1 CC and 1 SE at the DG at 1000 N. City in Moore.
Definitely call around. I spoke to several DG employees and they all seem to be informed about these figures.

I called there yesterday around 4:30 and they had the entire set. They were not in the toy section but on a promo strip near the party aisle. I found the employee I spoke with on the phone and she led me right to them.

Which figures are you looking for? I hope to get a SS and 1 more Trooper for my desk at work. If I find more, I'd be willing to pick up the figures you need and sell them to you at cost.

Found Retaliation figures at TRU in Quail. Picked up SS, CC, a Cobra Trooper and Zartan. While the over-sized accessories for CC and SS are lame, the figures themseleves are pretty awesome. This SS is definitely my favorite SS, so far. Zartan is amazing. The Trooper is cool but not as cool as older versions and the CC is very nice. I plan to hit the stores on the 28th to get 2 more Troopers and a Red Ninja. My wife and I are planning Cobra parachute drops from the top of our condo.

Skystrikers are $17.48 at Target South, 44th and Western. One was missing Ace and one was opened. That may be a good opportunity to get the price dropped for a custom.

Anyone have a Crimson Horseman figure from the Crimson Hiss tank they they do not need? I need this figure but do not want the Hiss tank.

MWC Target has done their reset for the Retaliation figures. No product out though.
nilcam
05-24-2012, 09:46 PM
Moore Target has figures but no CCs or Cobra Troopers. They also have the motorcycles, masks, Nerf gun and the Ninja Awe Striker. TRU Crossroads has Awe Strikers and 1 Fang Boat; no figures.
I'll be out on Monday morning, trying to score a Red Ninja and a Cobra Trooper. I'll start on the south side and head elsewhere if I can't find what I'm looking for. I'm tall, have dark hair, wear glasses and have a Cobra tattoo on my right forearm. If you see me, say hi.

05-28-2012, 06:13 PM
I found the HISS and a Trooper. Still looking for a Red Ninja. TRU Crossroads has nothing. Target at 44th and South Western didn;t even get a full case of figures. I tried 3 Wal Marts (MacArthur, Moore, Santa Fe) and came up empty at all 3.
I did find 2 Zombie Vipers. Anyone need one?
McDonald
05-28-2012, 08:29 PM
I was able to find a Red Ninja, only two of the four Wal Marts I hit even had figures and those had only what looked like one case each.

Okay, Tulsa Joe updates: TRU has some of the non-figure toys (giant Rock-Block {PLEASE start throwing that name around!}), small vehicles, and 3-packs. Target at Tulsa Hills has the basic starter set up, no Red Ninjas, and no Joe Troopers (I got the last one.) Also, one Renegades CC for ~$5.50. Happy Hunting!

Finally found a Red Ninja. With this acquisition, I am kind of tempted top move away from the 4" figures and start getting my favorite characters by Sideshow.

Hey, I know this is for sightings, and not an "I need" list, but I'm trying to trade locally, and was wondering if anyone had:
1) PoC Destro weapons assembly (gun and arm)
2) Shock trooper legs (or reuse on another figure)
And just to make this an official sightings post, I will offer some interesting news: Tulsa Hills Target had a black Retaliation CC, while ToysRUs had a blue.
