You are correct, Sir!
I hit up TRU on Wolf and WM in Xgates Commons last night and there was squadouche on the shelves. I take that back. There was plenty of ROC Doc figures at TRU and a decent amount of HISS / Wolf Hounds at WM.

Stopped in the Glenmont WallyWorld for non-Joe items...I passed by the Fury 2 times and finally grabbed it on the 3rd. Nothing else of mention Joe-wise. I did grab a Star Wars TIE Bomber as well, so Santa had an extra present under the tree for my son.
Picked up 2 Alley Vipers at the WM in CP. They also have 2 Furys.
Nothing of mention at the TRU or Target there. Nothing of mention really at TRU in Colonie. I did pick up another Spirit and QC for the 2 for $10 deal there though.
Nisky Marshalls has a ROC Desert Viper and some 25th's on clearance for $2 and $3. ROC Alpha vehicles also on clearance for $7. Picked up another HOH Viper here too. A few JV's at the Target.

I went to the TRU on Wolf last night and man... the shelves were bare and not just for Joes (sure there were the handful of ROC still there and a couple of Destros) either. It seemed like all the HISS and crap, what was the winter vehicle called. It's too early in the morning. There was no Batman:Brave and Bold to be found. SW looked all picked over. Restock I say!

Hey Dmizrok, where did you find those? I haven't seen them anywhere (but then again I haven't been looking either).
Anyone else notice that some of the toy aisles have been bare lately? I would have thought that they would be restocking more often given the holiday season but it looks barren at times. I have a buddy who was looking for a Batman figure (any one) for his little son and he had a hard time finding anything. It struck me as odd given all the Batman: Brave and Bold that I usually see on the shelves.

Nothing indeed. I did snag one of the AV, and left the others behind (including a FF, and CC). It just didn't feel right not getting an AV, ya know? I did snag a WWH(ulk) figure as well. Although as much as I like the figure, he suffers from the POC Recondo neck issues - which is great if he is bigger than whomever is next to him, sucks if he is standing someone the same height (ie Colossus).

Greetings from Mexico!!!! I had to run out for supplies at a Mega mart today, south of Puerta Vallarta, and took a chance at the toy section. As I mentioned before, I found every figure from the ROC line...very expensive down here. As I was walking away, I noticed a few bravo vehicles stashed away...I pulled them from their dark recesses and found a LAVA POD W VOLCANO VIPER, DESERT ROCK SLIDE W/DUSTY, and the POLAR SHARC W/ ICE STORM!!! Only 1 of each and $15us each. I grabbed them all. I'll keep checking for more through the next 2 weeks. And my local friends...keep a lookout for those SHOCK TROOPERS!!!!

Went to Toys R Us in Poughkeepsie and Wal-Mart in Fishkill after work last night/morning around 2:30am and Wal-Mart had nothing. Toys R us were putting out older stuff like the Ice Saber, The Locust Helicopter (Think that’s what it’s called.

Hey all, had to do some last minute shopping this morning so I hit the Scotia WM. I was all set to try my luck to see if I could score a black HISS (because I saw the Fury out) but then I noticed. Someone had sliced the tape on each one. I checked one since it was already cut; brown. I figured the rest were brown as well.
I am not sure how I feel about this. Wasn't there a way to tell if it was black or brown? By the stamp date or something?
Anywho, I snagged an AV from Target on Wolf yesterday. WHY CAN'T I QUIT YOU. I was strong enough to leave behind the DCU Zatanna I saw at Walmart. It was tough though.
In case I don't get back on later (oh who am I kidding?), I hope you all have a great holiday!

NYC: Pilot Scarlett $4 and Star Trek Bridge for $7. (Only a few chairs, two screens, and one figure, but at that price it might be worth it). They also had Avatar figures for $10.
(Dee's: 22 West 14th Street).
EDIT: glad to find Pilot Scarlett : there are too few female characters in the GIJ universe.

Picked up 2 Shock Troopers at the Niskayuna Target about a half hour ago. Only two they had. Left behind 1 SE and 1 Duke. Strange but there were no SS from that wave. Maybe they only put a few out and not the whole case? Shock Troopers are here for Christmas! Happy Holidays NY Tankers!!
Great grab! Nothing of mention down here in Mexico...Merry X-Mas to my NY Gang!

I am from the capital district and parents live out in Cooperstown. As far as options go the Albany area is nice but now living here in North Jersey we have it all. Check TJ Maxx, Marshalls etc. website and you will see that there are a minimum of 25 each in a radius of the Capital District. We have just as many TRU's, Walmarts and Targets aswell. Just sayin
We do have it good here in the Cap Region my friends. We just need more Shock Troopers!! Oh, and a Ross too lol.
Also, was downstate today. Only trace of Wave 3 was a shipper pack at the Palisades Mall Target. They had 1 Duke, 2 SEs and 2 SSs. No Shockies. Also, hit the Target near Woodbury Commons and the Spring Valley Target, nada.

Probably the same turd burgler that TRIED to steal Roc Baroness from Walmart but chickened out and left her 1/2 ripped from her card...So sad...and im starting to think that it was a lurker that hit that EG Target before I did and snagged all the other Poc figs....

If this is true, how sad. I mean, we all are in this for the fun and love of GI Joe and to come to this site and to not only lurk but also steal. Sad.
I hit up the CP Target (nada except for W2 and the AWE / Ice Cutter) and CP TRU (a bunch of clearance but nothing new). I came back with a 8 buck Snarler Cycle. I figured it was worth it. Two figures. A bike. Too bad I am think the bike kinda blows. Can't beat the price though.
Well, unless you steal.
Forgot to mention that the KMart in Rotterdam Mall restocked with a revision case. They had 1 AV as of yesterday.

They did have a few. On Christmas eve I snagged 2 STs there and I believe Ben got the SE and Duke. So either they put out a whole case or shipper and they all got bought before I got there. Or they are doing some inventory/reset process that has prevented them from putting the rest out... I was there today. I think there were four figs total. A couple kick-action SEs, a Dusty and a Zartan. The oddly placed figs on the endcap were gone too. Something else is on that endcap now.
Colonie Target has 14, yes 14 artic Destros. They also have several Wave 3 SEs, Dukes and SSs on a rear endcap. Strange remodeling thing going on there too lol.

Really? I think they are pretty cool figures that have a lot of equipment which allows you to have multiple looks. I wish more of the Cobra troop builders were like this. For instance. Say they had the Cobra Bazooka, Infantry, Officers, Vipers etc with a few more accessories so that they all didn't look exactly the same. Or at least consider releasing an accessory pack like they used to.
Maybe that is just not a possibility with a line so "new".

The odd remodeling seems to be at all the Targets. I don't recall ever seeing a VAMP or a Rage at any Targets, yet they have the Cutter and AWE. I still haven't seen a black HISS anywhere. I guess they are all being shipped to ROSSes or something.

Target has never had any of the Bravo vehicles to date. No Hiss or Snow Cats (name ?). However, they are in the target system, because the bravos do have a DCPI # assigned to them. I believe it is 087-06-2240 or -2241.

Dunno, I remember Venom vs Valor (VvV) and snagging up stuff I thought was so cool, then that feeling faded rather quickly. After the 25th run I might just be tired out. Granted this stuff is leaps and bounds better than the vvv fodder but I still can't help but feel it will be a passing faze for me and can't be bothered with it. Snake Eyes from wave 3 looked true enough to the original with some little updates that I would bite and I'm glad I did. Its a great version of that figure and I'm not a big Snake Eyes Storm Shadow fan.

I have two brown HISS and that was going to be my limit, however, when I heard about the black version I wanted just one. Ok, who am I kidding, for the right price, I would get more. Other than WM though, I don't think I have seen the Bravos anywhere and when I do, none have that 02 stamp date. It is frustrating when you read about all these black HISSes being found at ROSS for 15 bucks!! I would pay full retail!
W4 really is great. I haven't opened Predator or Robot-man yet but damn Low Light and Destro are pretty f-ing sweet. I hate to say that my only complaint with LL is that his gun mounts don't really fit anywhere.

I know what you mean. I just got five trouble bubbles (the blue ones) for $33 bucks on Ebay. I thought it would be sweet to have this little assult team. When I got them though, I was frustrated. I never realized how the seat clip (that holds the figures) is a pain in the ass for most of the newer figures because everyone has a vest of some sort. Plus I forgot how fragile they can be in the first place. For me, unless it is a really good deal, I might be done with Joes until the next wave comes out.

I've tried to get the Target exclusives via other 'tankers but it just didn't work out. Sometimes it is difficult for me to trade, because I don't really buy anything that I don't want / extras. Well, unless it was AV's or ST's.

It's a slippery slope Skull. I wish we NY'ers had a Kokomo type of oasis of Joe-stuff that was a reasonable distance. I'd make a day trip out of going there. Unfortunately, we are dealt the hand we are dealt.

I am always Down for road trips but it seems the good stuff always appears early in the week and by the weekend there would be nothing left
It would be a wasted trip.Just think of all of us up here that wants to check out the nearest Ross there are nearly twice as much collectors that live closer to them already plundering them.I tried to get some via trades but I have gotten some crazy pms of wanting $60-$80 worth of merchandise on my end for something I know full well they only paid $6 a piece for.Ah whatever I can live without them I'll check e-bay a couple months later if I'm still interested in them by then

Oh Alley Viper...are you jealous that i only bought you at Walmart because I cant find Shockies? Walmart Eg had scraps of revisions...Target had Duke SE SS but no ST......oh and Destros Dustys and 2 diff.Se from ist2 waves of POC...some on endcap some in aisle...

Nisky Target had Wave 3 but no Shock Troopers. They must have received a few cases as there were quite a few Snake Eyes, Duke, and even a few Storm Shadows left. I think 2 Storm Shadow, At least 6 Snake Eyes and Dukes. I snagged a Duke with decent eye apps and another Snake Eyes. Walmart Scotia: 2 Dusty figures and I think a Destro or Zartan....just sad.

I think that they got one of those shipper packs and put them out only a few at a time. I got 2 STs on Christmas eve and you got a SE and Duke. Then they had nothing for quite a while. Then 13thwarrior got a ST there and I picked up 3 STs for Dmizrok there. That totals 6 STs. I believe the shipper packs have 5-7 of each figure. So they may have put them out a few at a time IMO.

Hey Guys..Moving next week, and came to the realization that I do not have room for my large gi joe comic collection.. I've got comics from the 80's,90's, through current.. A lot of them, not all perfect... but I'm gonna let em go very easily.
I can't keep em, and will be getting the trade paper backs (I already have most of them) of all the joe comics.
Is anyone interested in them? Thinking about trades for 25th/POC army builders or vehicles.. will entertain all offers, I really am not looking for much..just to go to a good home.
I am in CT but have family in the Hudson Valley region, so I would be willing to meet up.

Found the Rage in the Wild here in Western NY today at a Walmart. Should look good with all the AVs,
Washington Ave WM is still carrying joes. In fact, they have 8 pegs for figs now. They have a quite a few Wave 1's and 2's including Snow Job, CC, Firefly, Duke, Beachhead and even an AV. Didn't notice any bravo vehicles.
Forgot to mention that WM on Washington Ave has a horrible repack of a Wave 2 Snake Eyes with some white SS legs, a detached left arm and the bubble is falling off the card. Worst repack yet Albany repacker... Pathetic.

Welcome to the Tank, Heath! I'm not up in your area, but since you are new to collecting here's some things to expect:
-the big retailers only have newer product. You might still get lucky at TRU with ROC or some really leftover 25th stuff on clearance.
-Walmart is being really anti-Joe right now. Most LI Walmarts aren't even stocking any Joe product. I was lucky enough to find a new VAMP in Riverhead right before X-mas
-Marshall's and TJMaxx is the best bet to find some stuff at great prices (as you've seen). Because of the nature of those chains, it can be hit or miss, but I usually find stuff at any of those. The HOH was plentiful at these stores before Christmas, so you might luck out at 5.99 each.
-As you become more familiar with this sight, be sure to check out members' BST (Buy-Sell-Trade) posts. You may be able to make a deal and not drop a pretty penny.
Good luck hunting and enjoy the hobby!

Also, the Starcream/Cobra Commander SDCC exclusive is kind of awesome. CC has always been my fav character and I've always wanted more figs of him in uniforms other than the traditional "suit" so to speak such as an artic version.

I am on the fence about the Cobra Commander Starscream. Its cool, but I don't know. Its a jet I don't have room for, a kitbashed Cobra Commander who's helmet I have plenty. The Megatron pistol is cool but I I already have 2 of the Marauders version which is pretty cool. I mean, its a really cool set I'd like to get, but it really should be displayed properly.
After posting about not seeing any pics of the Rock Viper, I was thinking about it and I believe the masked "troop" with the red shin guards and the climbing gear must be the Rock Viper lol. Guess I was lloking for something more like the original.

Ok, I just went through all the pictures of TF2011... and wow. I think that there are a lot of nice looking figures (the Resolute CC, all of the Vipers / troop builders, Zarana) ... but others just looked odd.
Crazy Legs & Blowtorch - were these necessary? There was already a 25th of Blowtorch, and I never knew that Crazy Legs was all that popular.
General Hawk - Um... doesn't really look like Hawk IMHO, just some average Joe.
Croc Master - Why? Again, we just had a 25th anniversary figure.
It seems like Hasbro is going to be giving us a lot of Cobra troop builders, but not a whole lot of Joes... which is fine... but I can think of about a half dozen Joes I would have rather seen in place of some of these figures.
I like the Skystriker (despite the one seat) but don't understand the VAMP MK II ... which looks exactly like the POC. As least the HISS is red.
Overall? I prob will be spending more $$ than I should

I think that you both encountered one of the revision cases. That's why there were Shock Troopers and AVs as well. It seems that the Wave 4 case (4x each of Destro, Skydive, Lowlight and Shadow Tracker) has "skipped" retail... Other people have posted similar findings as well minus the Destro and Tracker. This could be bad too considering the Wave 4 (2011 Wave 2) Destro is not in either of these revision cases. Check out BBTS:
GI Joe 2011 Series 02 Revision 03 - Case of 12 - GI Joe 2010 - 2011 GI Joe 3.75" Figures (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=HAS19774&mode=retail)
GI Joe 2011 Series 02 Revision 04 - Case of 12 - GI Joe 2010 - 2011 GI Joe 3.75" Figures (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=HAS19775&mode=retail)
The 1st link is the case assorment I think you found IMO.

The Shock Trooper has left the building. I couldn't bring myself to walk away from it lol.
Also, Northern run last night. Nada at the Clifton Park, Saratoga or Queensbury WMs as far as the new wave is concerned.
