Was at New Hartford TrU this afternoon- no new stuff (vehicles or figs) just pegs full of Arctic Shippy & Doc as well as some RoC warmers. Bought 2 Desert Ambush Dukes and an Arctic SE
Stopped at the Target across the street hoping to find some clearance stuff but it was G-O-N-E! Did have 1 Alley Viper, 2 Dukes, 1 of each Mech and 2 each of the Skyhawk and Drednok bike. Bought the Alley Viper and left the rest.

Ha!! I stopped in @ 9am and nothing was on the shelves! I figured Tuesday morning was going to be the time to hit...foiled again!!!

On another note- I hit the CP Target @ 12 and scored an AV, CC, FF, BH, JD...and did NOT grab SS! The CC is on a minty fresh card! These figures look awesome...better than their Resolute counterparts!!!!

picked up a Spirit at TRUS colonie...plenty of Spirits AND Quick Kicks...
Target Colonie...picked up a Doom Cycle(cool, but disappointed that there were no stickers)...theres still a mech there and 2 each of Duke and S.E.
Marshalls has flight pod pack , armadillo pack,and Sharc for 10 bucks apiece...also strangely have a Flash Gordon fig for 7 bucks that was pretty cool looking and a John Goodman from the Big Labowski movie fig...odd seeing it there, wouldve got it if it was "the Dude"...lol

watching in horror at work as my 2 cases of PoC are supposed to arrive today now...but the tracking # won't update...it would so rock to go home to that tonight :)

Nice to know Wolf Rd TRU has Spirit. May have to snag him up. Was thinking of returning one of my HISS Tanks but now I'm thinking artic or grey urban custom...I love these things!

Scotia/Glennville got in wave 1 PoC tonight. Picked up Cobra Commander and an Alley Viper. $10 a pop but what the hey. I'm weak. I'll probably just return stuff from my case I don't want and it'll work out. Kinda killed me to do it. They also had Alpha vehicles Wave 1. It was buried under a pallet and I wasn't in the mood to dig. As it was there was almost a fight in the line at the register...lot of crazy people there at night as of late.

I snagged a Spirit last night. I think there was about five or six figures - a mixture of QK and Spirit still on the shelf.

What did the Flash Gordon figure look like? That seems odd because ... I can't understand what "line" he would be from. Wait. Was it modeled (or look like) the Alex Ross movie version? That's the only thing I can think of.

I vaguely remember seeing them in Previews a while back, maybe to commemorate the movie's X anniversary. I definately remember seeing a white t-shirt version. I think he came with that football-looking device.

Picked up an A-Team van at Target in Amsterdam for $6.24. No Joes out yet... Nisky Target restocked, but no Alley Vipers, Cobra Commanders or Fireflies at all. At least 2 of everyone else though. Also lots of alpha vehicles.

08-05-2010, 10:36 PM
Its been a while, hope everyone is doing well.

Toys R Us in Colonie had a bunch of wave 1 figures including an Alley Viper, Firefly and Cobra Commander. I didn't notice either of the exclusives, though. They also had two each of the alpha vehicles.

Toys R Us in Clifton Park had nothing new at all.

Sgt. Airborne
08-05-2010, 11:31 PM
After a week of Joe-hunting .. I have come away with QK, Spirit, Duke, SE, SS, and SJ ... I haven't gotten a sniff of CC, FF, or an AV to save my life. It seems like I am hitting all the stores right after you bastiches visit them! :P I swear. For instance, I was in TRU in Colonie .. yesterday and got a Spirit. Today they supposedly have the Wave 1 out!?? I hit the Target in Latham yesterday.. nothing... today Wave 1 leftovers of Duke and SS.

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANN! lol

gijoeben1
08-06-2010, 04:26 AM
2 Dreadnok choppers, 2 of those Joe Team aircraft things...whatever their called, are at Scotia Walmart.

All of wave1 figures except CC and Alley Viper on the pegs...for $9.97.

Brooklyn Erskin St. Target had Alpha wave vehicles last night also a few Beach heads , Storm Shadow's & Dukes.

Looks like the rest was cleaned out.

Rotterdam WM reset their action figure aisle. All the pegs were up and labeled. Some stuff on the pegs. Bad news is, there isn't even a space for Joes.

Hope you had a good time. A bunch of my friends tell me I should go, I haven't been in YEARS. One of my friends posted a video on facebook. Some folks got a little rowdy at the derby. I think I'd want to find my way to the beer tent. Quickly.

Hey GIB1 -

Just looking for CC, FF, and some AV. I might just buy CC and FF from Hasbro or another online site. Part of the fun is going out to find the figures, but at the same time, after a while as I am sure that anyone will admit to, it gets tiring not finding stuff.

dmizrok
08-08-2010, 09:46 PM

Thanks for the heads up. I figure I would search for a couple of weeks, and if no luck, hit the online sites.

On a side note, am I the only one who is on the fence about Duke's headband? I just see Duke wearing one. Otherwise a great figure. Well, although I would have liked a gun holster. Thoughts?

not crazy about new duke. had my hands on one but put it back. thinking about it for legs to do a pathfinder custom. could maybe use arms for muskrat?

Walmart in Scotia has Joes at $6.97 (thats the price they scan at). I believe they had at least one of everything the other day (saturday?)

You know, that's part of the problem IMHO. Duke (to me) will always be the smiling guy in the yellow / tank shirt. I mean, that original figure was smiling! No other job to that point had a smile (IIRC). To see these more stern looking, different attire wearing versions... it just seems off.

gijoeben1
08-09-2010, 01:57 PM
It is a departure from the original for sure. He is still a cool figure though. I can't help but think if he didn't have the wrap on his head that he would look darn close to a cartoon version of Duke from the 80's. (maybe with a case of constipation). With any luck we will one day get a decent version of the v1 Duke.

Definately a cool figure. My only issues were the head-band and the arm paint. Never have been a fan of the skin paint. Everything else is terrific.

FYI - I just ordered FF and CC from Hasbro's site. I hit two Wal-Marts and a Target today and found nothing. I figure I might be paying S&H but whatever. Now it comes down to finding AV's.

East Greenbush Walmart- What are you smoking? Their ENTIRE toy section looked like a run down Kmart.There were LITERALLY NO Joe,Star Wars,Iron man, etc sections...basically no boys toys what so ever...lady said, oh about a week we'll be done....pathetic Walmart.....
Target- ONE lonely Duke dangling by the wrong peg..Iscanned him and it said none in stockroom...i moved'em back...under him is a couple Doom Cycles and Ghost Hawks...
btw I scanned the upc code from my Hiss at Walmart Glenmont and it came up as in stock...not out though...

Walmart in Fishkill finished their toy resets and they have spots for the POC vehicles but the single figure labels say G.I. Joe Movie 1 and overflowing with 50+ old ROC figures.I don't think we'll ever see a reorder case of POC figures in there anytime soon.They still refuse to clearance out those ROC figures.

dmizrok
08-12-2010, 01:11 PM
Glenmont Wally marked 5 dollar figs up to 997 right before the POC dropped...then the marked SOME ROC back to 5....now ALL ROC is same price as POC....What. is. wrong. with .you. Walmart?!?

Of course the day after I go to Walmart they got in probably 3-4 cases of POC figures judging from all the leftover Dukes and Storm Shadows and straggler Snake Eyes >:( They hung them on the pegs where the swords and masks are supposed to be
Just checked tonight after work.I mus.t have spent about $12 recently on gas just checking on different stores for Alley Vipers.I'm so stubborn I just recently won an MOC Alley Viper on E-Bay for $12 shipped by Fed-Ex which means that seller made no profit and probably lost some money after E-Bay's fees.I really didn't want to pay $12 but looking back thats the same amount I spent on gas coming out empty handed.
Oh yeah Hudson Valley Hunter if that wasn't you who got the goodies at Fishkill Walmart then I have a hidden Cobra Commander there as you requested.I found just shoved on the floor on top of the mess scattered every where.

Scored a lone Alley Viper at the TRU in Clifton Park today. Lots of 'leftover' figs and lots of both Alpha and Bravo vehicles. Nothing of mention at the following places; Target CP, Target Saratoga, WM Glenville. WM in Saratoga has a Cobra Commander AND a Firefly as of about 5 pm today. Also lots of every vehicle. At least 4 HISS Tanks there.

Also I have an extra Cobra Commander MOC (card not mint but near) if anyone wants him...

As of 11pm there was a Cobra Commander, Firefly and Alley Viper at the Clifton Park Wal-Mart. I think the only missing fig from wave 1 was Beachhead, in fact. Really wanted to buy those three (the cards looked perfect!), but I didn't have time to stay in the long lines.

the proud owner of 3 new Alley Vipers. Walmart Scotia had a 3 case restock....so 3 alley vipers. Much happiness.

Everything else is there including the Cobra Commanders...my liking of this figure is fading fast. the Chrome face is cool, but its just not really CC. maybe if there was a smooth chrome faceplate to go over this it could pass as an early prototype for his faceplate but...yeah, not gunna grab anymore of these. I think my Alley Viper quota is now full. So whatever I get here on out is for you cats. LMK what #s ya need and I'll see what I can do. But I think Walmart is the place to check saturday.

I scored an Alley Viper on Friday the 13th :D It was at the Poughkeepsie TRU checked after work.Looks like they got in 2 cases.The Cobra Commanders were missing but everything else was there and the Alley Viper was just scattered on the shelf surprised it was left behind.Walmart in Newburgh finished their reset the aisles look so neat.They had 1 case but the Alley Viper was already missing when I checked but all else was untouched including the Cobra Commander.No restock at the Fishkill Walmart and no restock at the Poughkeepsie Target only Mechs came in.

Latham Wal-Mart put out two cases of wave 1 tonight. I grabbed a Cobra Commander, Alley Viper, Beachhead, Firefly and Snow Job. Still one of each of those left (as of 10pm), plus a few extra SE, SS and Duke figures.

There was also a Joe Mech Suit. Any of you guys pick either or both of the Suits up? I'm on the fence about those, and am curious if any of you thought they were worth it or not.

Latham Wal-Mart put out two cases of wave 1 tonight. I grabbed a Cobra Commander, Alley Viper, Beachhead, Firefly and Snow Job. Still one of each of those left (as of 10pm), plus a few extra SE, SS and Duke figures.

There was also a Joe Mech Suit. Any of you guys pick either or both of the Suits up? I'm on the fence about those, and am curious if any of you thought they were worth it or not.

I was on the fence on it also but its starting to grow on me little by little.I really wanted it more for the Cobra Cyber Vipers

I have the Cobra Mech. Haven't opened it yet. Mainly got it for the Cyber Viper.

So I did some running around today. Scored that Alley Viper from the Latham WM, thanks for leaving it 13th! They still have a CC and FF. Scored another Alley Viper at the Brunswick WM. They have 2 CC's and 2 FF's and a ton of each version of each class of vehicles. Nothing of mention at the Nisky or Clifton Park Targets. The Latham Target has zero figs and none in the stockroom. Nothing of mention at the TRU in CP. WM in CP has a CC.

Scotia WM - plenty of the new POC figures, unfortunately no FF, CC, AV ~ side note, anyone looking for the MU Black Widow or Luke Cage should go here

CP TRU - minimal amount of figures, no FF, CC, AV

CP Target - a couple of POC SS and assorted POC vehicles

CP Wal-mart - AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWW

No figs at all at Colonie Target or Washington Ave WM. Colonie TRU has the usual leftovers. Nisky Target no longer has the 3 lonely Dukes; they are gone but now there is a Beachhead and a Storm Shadow.

Now for the shenanigans. Had to hit Rotterdam WM for some essentials. They haven't had any POC as of yet but it doesn't hurt to look... Hit the toy aisle and spot a Cobra Commander lying on the shelf under the 82 million Star Wars figs and 100 million hampster warrior things they have. So I scan the action fig aisle and no other POC figs. I scour the entire toy section-nothing. So I return to the Cobra Commander and take a closer look. I noticed that the top of the bubble was jaggedly cut open and the head stolen. My theory: someone bought this CC elsewhere, stole the head and returned it to Rotterdam WM who doesn't even carry the line. Sweet...

BTW if you were wondering, I did scan the CC on a price checker and it rang up just fine. So POC is in their system.

Got off work early here's what I found on my way home
Stop 1-Poughkeepsie Target.Totally worthless that toy aisle is always a dump when I check.No singles restock still but they restocked the first wave alphas and mechs.
Stop 2-Newburgh Target.Picked up Hunter's leftovers.Only 1 Zartan,3 Destros,2 Dusty and 3 Tornado Kick Snake Eyes left.Also restocked on Alphas and Mechs.
Stop 3-Mohegan Lake Walmart.Looks like they put out another 2 cases of POC found another Alley Viper and found the Marvel Universe Dark Phoenix comic pack.About 4 Cobra Commanders left and plenty of everyone else.Also 1 Dr. Doom comic pack there for MU collectors.
Stop 4-Jefferson Valley/Mahopac TRU-Restocked about 2 cases of the Spirits/Quick Kicks and another 2 cases of POC grabbed another Alley Viper

Score!

So I got up early because I had some errands to run. Ironically ... or luckily I suppose... I could get them done in Clifton Park. So I stop at Target around 9ish. BOOO-YA-KAAAH!

Snagged Recondo, Dusty, SE Ninja Commando, Destro, Zartan and 2 JV. There were a few more of each (except the JV, sorry)and some remaining POC W1 figures (non-popular ones of course read - no AV, CC, FF) left.

Overall, POC W2 looks nice. My quick thoughts.

Recondo - He isn't the classic Daniel LeClaire, but he isn't a bad modernization. I like how he comes fully stocked but some of the "attire" looks odd. Like would a jungle trooper be wearing what appears to be a heavy vest with a one sided shoulder pad? Picky I know.

Dusty - Never was a big fan of the original, don't mind this updated version, but WTF is up with the barb-wire?

SE NC - Eh. Not a bad figure, but why the armor if you are a ninja?

Destro - Huge surprise. I like the figure and the accessories. The colors IMHO do not look that bad and are muted nicely. The only other character that might have been nice for the arctic look might have been Bludd or Baroness, but why have figures of them before Destro?

Zartan - Not bad, but I don't understand the falcon really or the notion of not giving him another face *like his old bearded one* to pass as a "civilian". Decent though, especially giving a good reason for the "hood".

JV - They look awesome and I can't wait to open one up, unforunately that won't be for a while because I got stuff to do this weekend. I think two might be enough for me. Maybe one more. I can't see army building - like the AV or ST with this figure. Granted I have never been an army builder per se, but in the above cases, I would prob grab them if I saw them - even if it meant to help out other 'tankers.

Anyway, hope you guys have some luck.

Noooooooooooooooo!!!! I can't win! I checked this morning when they opened (had just got off work) and they were putting toys out. I checked the boxes on the pallet but didn't see GI Joe anywhere. I wanted to hang around but I needed to get to sleep because I had to be back at work at 5:00pm. Now they won't get more for probably another couple of weeks. (Banging head on table).

Nisky Target has wave 2. However, they are not on the GIJOE pegs. If you stand right in front of where they are supposed to be hanging, and turn around, they are on the other side (they aren't supposed to be). I figured a Tanker did it in the hopes that another Tanker would see it. They have TWO Jungle VIPERS there, Zartan, and Destro. Snake Eyes too I think but I don't really do the Ninja crap so I honestly don't even notice them anymore. Colonie Target has Destro Zartan. Found Dusty there in the clearance end cap. Also figured the act of a Tanker.

So I scored a Dusty Destro and Zartan. Pretty cool.

Snake Eyes too I think but I don't really do the Ninja crap so I honestly don't even notice them anymore. Colonie Target has Destro Zartan. Found Dusty there in the clearance end cap. Also figured the act of a Tanker.

So I scored a Dusty Destro and Zartan. Pretty cool.

Yes, I noticed that too. I figured that a stocked couldn't find where they went (despite the Beachhead hanging there). Picked up the two JV's and the Recondo they had. The other figs I put back where they belonged lol.

Great finds guys!!! I'm happy to see us Tankers have been able to grab what we have been looking for...and, as always, I will continue to search and grab what is needed at your request. No one here has claimed they grabbed the figures I stashed away on Friday....is there a Tank lurker in our midst!?!

Went to Poughkeepsie Target at 3:15pm (What a mad house. Back to school crowd I guess) and they had nothing except a wave 1 SE. Went to Wal-Mart and pretty much the same. Haven’t got a single wave 2 figure yet.
Still not sure why wave 2 came out only about 4 weeks after wave 1.

That store is always way too busy.I think the best chance to get something is around 10am-11am it takes them awhile to put out a fresh case.I think you were there too early and I got there around 9pm when only the leftovers were left.If I would have known I would have hid them for you or at least buy what was left

Not in NY but on the border by Danbury CT. going through I-84
Bethel Target found a gold mine of wave 2 around 9:40 pm last night about 5 cases overflowing the pegs.Looks like some dude had a field day with Jungle Vipers as they were the only ones missing but a worker there was packing out another case so I took the 2 from it.Plenty of everyone left including Recondo and more in stock in the backroom I checked the scanner.I'm going back to get more of Dusty.

Do you mind me asking where you are looking / shopping? I ask because I feel that I am "upstate" (living in the Albany / Sch'dy / Troy area) but when talking with other NY'ers, I get told that we are "midstate" and not true "upstaters". Of course these are all people who live north of the Tri-city area. OTOH, if you talk to anyone in NYC about where you live, they think it's nothing but farms and cattle.

You are missing the whole point of posting in a findings thread my friend.It would be helpful to state what town.Someone coming in here saying I found wave 2 in upstate NY is just as much help as me coming in here and saying "Yo I just found new wave down at Jersey or while I was vacationing in Cali".

I wish you luck. I am trying to recall what that church looks like... but I haven't been to Cooperstown in over a year or two.

Anyone in the area seen a MU Capt. Britain? I didn't even know that they were "out". Just curious.


Every local TRU should have recieved a big blue Marvel Mania Pallet display cube.Look for it somewhere in the main aisle walkway could be anywhere.It has plenty of latest Marvel Universe with Capt. Britain,Spider-man with Rhino and Iron Man 2 with Whiplash.

Can any of you local cats find me a Marvel Universe Archangel and Havok Classic variant.I need them to complete my 80's/90's X-Men

Found Wave 2 at Clifton Park Target. I picked up a Recondo. They have 1 Recondo, 2 Dusty's, and 3 JV's left. A bunch of other Wave 1 and Wave 2, as well.

Clifton Park Toys R Us has a bunch of Spirits and Quick Kicks, along with a single Cobra Commander.

Clifton Park Wal-Mart had nothing new.

PAGE 300!! My 900th post!! Where were you when it all happened!!!

I checked the TRU in Latham ... no such cube, although there was a Star Wars one with a lot of cool stuff on it. Damn Lucas for re-releasing / remaking so many cool toys. I won't budge though, I WON'T BUDGE!!

I will keep my peepers opened for those. Only rare MU figure I have seen was a Subby .. but not sure how rare those are to be honest.

damit! now i want a Captain Britain. have resisted the urge to buy Capt America, Union Jack & Guardian but I may have to give in. I know technically he's a badguy but I really like Iron Patriot too. was thinking of making them the next rung in the ladder for my Joes- green shirt> codename> super trooper program> super hero

This is true. I stopped in there today for S&G (that's shits & giggles for you non-hipsters) and while the Joes seemed lacking there were plenty of MU figures to be had - Winter Soldier, the CW Spider-Man, Luke Cage, one of the Wrecking Crew whose name I am totally drawing a blank on .... BUT NO CAPT. BRITAIN!!!

That one from the Wrecking Crew you saw is actually the leader called "The Wrecker" lol he's the only one single packed.Walmart has been getting that wave which is the wave just before the Captain Britain wave.

Seems like there's tonnes on ebay but I've never seen either in-store. One place held an Archangel for me though. :D
