In a shocking turn of events, the Long Island City TRU got about 5 cases of wave 7 this morning. A couple other collectors beat me to it but were nice enough to share some of the spoils, so I was able to get everyone except the Hiss Tank Driver. I guess it's time to start checking the local TRUs.....

Well I finally found the proof I was looking for that Wave 7 is in my area.I snagged the last Wave 7 Snake Eyes that was just randomly sitting in a cart full of toys in the aisle at Walmart in Middletown this past weekend apparently I just missed out on a case I guess,starting to get a little frustrated since I search daily.Nothing in Fishkill or Newburgh Walmart.TRU in Middletown had a ton of the Senior 3-packs I might get more Guards.The K-B's had actually gotten in Joes they were the Wave 2 revisions but of course the Snake Eyes,Stormshadow and Lady Jayes are gone already except for 1 Lady Jaye in Newburgh.So the only thing I could do to fix addiction to getting some new was get some Indiana Jones figs *sigh*

was at east meadows wal mart at 12ish i didnt see anything on the shelf besides buzzer, hooded cc serpentor and a cobra trooper, also some old comic 2 packs, so either everything was picked bone dry yesterday and today or i dunno what. but it certainly didnt look like they had room to put out 10 cases worth
RedEyes
05-13-2008, 01:30 PM
Well, I went over to East Meadow Walmart. And they were completely cleaned out, except for 2 Serpentors, a Hooded CC and a Cobra Soldier. When I was there I talked to an employee, that happened to be the Toy Department Manager. He told me he was on vacation for about a week and when he got back he saw the stack of 12 cases of GI Joe that hadn't been put out while he was gone, in the stockroom. He said, he put them all out yesterday. I guess that's when Tiger Force Dude found them. And now there all gone. Goddamn that was quick!!! Goes to show that the regular workers don't do there job.
Anyway, on a brighter note I did find Wave 7 today at Westbury Target. They had about 3-4 cases on the pegs. I picked up 2 Vipers. There were definitely more Vipers hanging there. No Hiss Drivers though. GO NOW IF YOU NEED WAVE 7!!!!

Damn, I haven't seen jack in the capital district the last couple of days. Only traces that wave 7 has been in the area is the lone Duke at the Rotterdam WM. I've been hoping that TRU or KMart will get wave 7 soon. I'm still in search of Spirit, and it's driving me nuts.

I went to 3 Targets in the Lower Hudson Valley and they all had Wave 7 in stock.Target seems to be getting them all the same time.Forget Walmart.The one Target I snagged my figures must have had at least 6 cases filled on the pegs.I checked the scanner to see if there was more in the backroom and it said none so these should be gone by tomorrow or 2 days.There was still enough left for 2 or 3 more collectors to snag some.I might head in the early morning to get me some doubles to keep MOC while I open the ones I just got.Surprisingly I went into Stop & Shop and they had 25th Joes in the toy aisle for $5.99 I picked some up of the Wave 6 for doubles.Today was a good haul plus I got my Doc also today.

That Wal-Mart used to be GREAT for getting stuff...I'd go every night and check the pallets, but I've had no luck there since the Wave 2 comic packs/Wave 4.
I tried Transit Wal-Mart on my lunch and they still had nothing but revison cases there...and the pegs were full, so even if they have Wave 7 they won't put them out yet.
would you guys like to meet up sometime?
Yeah, that'd be cool.

Lol you guys are quick.Target got cleaned out already except for an army of Wave 7 Snake Eyes peg warmers.Its a good thing I hid some Vipers in my hiding spot lol and I picked them up.I hope everyone is using that unlimited $5 off a $25 purchase web coupon everytime.I have been saving alot of money.I factored 4 Joe figures plus $5 off coupon go to car and go back in with another coupon lol.I did that with Indy figures even though its $7.49 if you buy 4 and the $5 off coupon it still comes lesser than the other retailers.I've got like 20 sheets of these coupons

hey RED EYES and fellow joe collecting New Yorkers...i stopped by walmart over here in East Meadow today...of course they had nothing...but i had the pleasure of talking to the Toy Dept. Manager again and man hes pretty cool...i asked him when can that walmart be expecting more shipments...so being the nice guy he is he scanned the single carded figures and told me "no confirmed date however they are expected to get (im not sure if i heard correctly or i just forgot) 24 cases of single packs...and 16 cases of comic packs...completely blew our minds...also fellow Hiss Bros. he himself has had a few run ins with scalpers (dirty scondrols those scalpers are)...he has recently seen them take a bunch of figures and hide them in different aisles but he just goes and returns them back to the right spot...so thats another win for us (yay!)...but anyways just thought i'd report from the frontlines and have my fellow brothers hear some good news...
Bring on Wave 8

05-15-2008, 02:25 PM
Damn!!!!! 24 cases of singles!!! Dude, if that actually happens and they somehow put them all up at once, I'll shit myself! :D Even if I don't need any of figures that would just be an amazing site!!
I've spoken to that Department manager also, just the other day. He's definitely cool and he seems to look out for us collectors! I've definitely seen scalpers in there before. One time it was this really obese lady and I guess her husband. They had a cart full of Star Wars stuff. They started bickering at each other when they couldn't find something. Really pathetic and funny at the same time.
Anyway, thanks for the good news man!!!
And yes, bring on Wave 8!!!

...he has recently seen them take a bunch of figures and hide them in different aisles but he just goes and returns them back to the right spot...
Hmmm I wonder who he could be talking about here? Is someone catching on to our fellow "Robin Hood" type of tanker who likes to hide figures to help out his fellow tankers? He shall remain nameless though...LOL!
In any case I have spoken with a really cool guy in the toy aisle at that Walmart before pleanty of times. He hooked me up with their last Cobra Legions 5-pack set a few months back. He said someone hid it and he found it, so he gave it to me. He also said he couldn't wait to see that guys face when he returned for it.
By the way if anyone sees any local Target in Brooklyn, Queens, or Long Island stocked with Wave 7 please let me know. I want to pick up Spirt, Wild Bill, a Viper and a Hiss Driving using one of those 5 off coupons. I also like to have pleanty of figures to look over and choose the ones with the best looking paint and cards.

05-15-2008, 03:38 PM
:D I confess!! Whatever I hid was usually found by you guys the same day anyway. Which was a few comic packs here and there at that Walmart. That was a good though Jack. The "Robin Hood of Toys"! "Hide from the scalpers, give to the collectors!!" LOL
Anyway, I posted the other day that Westbury Target had a good amount of Wave 7. I think it was at least 4 cases. No Hiss Drivers though. I actually went back that same night with the Wife, and they were all gone except for a V4 Snake Eyes. I'm caught up for now, but I still go out and look. I'll post asap, anytime I see something.
Oh, and if any of you local guys see the Movie Masters Dark Knight Joker, please let me know as soon as you can!! Or hide it, buy it, whatever you can do would be much appreciated!!

Hey new yorkers I might sell my whole 25th set if anyone is interested in it. Heres a quick list. I have all 5 packs 3 Packs Comic packs and all single cards except wave 7. All my figures are opened and in polybags with weapons and file cards. Never really touched played with etc. I have all Target Vechiles un-opened. My GI-JOE 5 pack is also unopened. I also have a couple extra cobra enemy,CG's,Air Troop's,and Red Ninja and Cobra Officers's. PM me let me know. I want to sell the whole thing not just a few here and there.
I just regret opening the toys. I want a whole MOC collection but don't have the extra money. So I don't even want them anymore.

Hey fellow New Yorkers just wanted to give a heads up that my case of Wave 8 is in the mail to me.So I'll let all the scalpers that read this forum have fun spending $4 a gallon on gas driving from here to Nimbucktoo and hoarding all the figures at every store while I sit home and relax and watch my Yankees lose yet again *tears*Hoping that one day they realize that all the money spent on gas and E-Bay listing fees that they are really not making a profit-sheesh-

Guys, fyi to all those who buy online,
Amazon will start charging New York tax on June 1st. Looks like even if a store is not located in New York they will still be required to charge New York taxes online. This message is from amazon, and is probably the first of many to come.
"Due to a new law recently passed by the State of New York we are required to collect NY sales taxes on taxable items sold by Amazon.com on or after June 1st, 2008. If your order is placed prior to June 1st, your Order Total may not include an estimate of NY sales taxes, but those taxes may still be charged if your order is readied for shipment on or after that date."
Bad news if you like to order items online to save on the tax.

eBay should not get taxed, however, they recently raised their fees from like 5% to 8.5% on sales, that number doesn't affect us directly, unless you consider people raise their auction prices or s&h prices to make up for that number

Dude, thats an awesome find! Cause of your post, I now check Stop and Shop's for Joes. I went to my local one today and they had a llone Wave 4 Scarlett. Not much, but I was just happy to see another store selling 25th Joes!! And for $5.99!!! :D
LOL I left that lonely Scarlett there for you at your "local" Stop & Shop. The only other figure they had there was a Wild Bill which I scored a few days ago. I still need Duke, Hiss driver, Spirit and a Viper.
By the way I told the store manager that if some guy comes in with red eyes looking for Joes he must just be drunk, lost and confused. Then I told him to send you over to KB for some Buzzers.
LOL just kidding.

Only thing I'm looking out for now are Wave 4 comic packs.I just ordered them on Hasbrotoyshop.com I'll see where I get them first.Thanks to the few that post and I know there about a 100 lurkers that just read this to find them and not share the wealth.I'll be searching this Memorial Day weekend it will be tough though the stores are gonna be jampacked
Just a heads up: Walmart on Washington Ave in Albany is now a 24hr store. Also, I spoke with the toy dept. manager today and she said they would not get in any more Joes until the ones that are there "sell down". I'm pretty sure that Wave 7 never made it there yet. Bad news for the now "biggest Walmart in the United States".

I think that I might finally break down and actually get into purchasing the vehicles. I was going to stick to figures only due to space, but I think there are a lot of cool vehicle releases coming up. I especially want those vehicle drivers. I'm still basically trying to focus on collecting whatever is a re-release of the original line. Like for instance I didn't want the Night Specter (because they are releasing a Sharc and Deep Six), but I wanted the Grand Slam. I didn't want the blue Hiss because they are releasing a black one. Luckily I picked up Grand Slam and Crankcase in a trade, but now I want a Awe Striker.
If anyone sees an Awe Striker at any Brooklyn, Queens, or Long Island Target please let me know. Maybe I can trade the extra Crankcase I get for a Grunt from the 3-pack to someone here on these boards.

I actually just got back from there. They still have everything you mentioned minus the Vipers.
Found Wave 8 (what looked like 2 cases worth) at TRU in Colonie today around 11 am. Very rare for TRU to get something first. Also 1 case of Wave 7 at Walmarts in Latham and Rotterdam this morning. Go check your TRU's!

I drove the 4 hour round trip to albany yesterday to take my son to the Deathnote movie, at Cross gates, and my wife would only let me go to the TRU in colonie(only cause she wanted to go to the Christmas Tree Shops accross the street) Of course, when i got there, there were NO single packs on the shelves!!!!

Time to start checking the Targets for Wave 4 comic packs. On the way home from camping up in the 1000 Islands region, the fiance and I stopped at the Watertown WM and Target. WM had 2 Vipers and a Hiss Driver. Target had no single figures, some older comic packs and 1 Firefly/Storm Shadow comic pack. So they have hit North Western NY. Be on the lookout!!!
Saw 2 cases of Wave 8 at TRU on Wolf Rd in Colonie at about 230 pm today. No Vipers though, but 2 of each including Bludd, TF Flint and PP Officers. They also had 2 Crimson Guard officer packs.

Man f that, I gave up hunting over a month ago. It all happened when I went to a target at 8 am and saw 12 other guys all talking about the new wave of gi joes. I said f it, and im just ordering them off the internet, its easier, sometimes quicker, cheaper in theory, and lets me sleep in and not have to deal with bull shit scalpers which we have here on li too. Everytime I see an old guy almost knock people over with a shopping cart i lose a little more faith in humanity. And the other li shoppers know what im talkin about. Its just not worth it this line is bs with shipments, and the way the store decides to put them out on the pegs. 1 case a week IF a store is lucky... 1 case has 8 figures, 8 figures in a wave, I call that bull shit on hasbros part, and on the stores part for not getting bigger shipments, its not like this line DOESNT sell, it sells out TOO quick, anyway, I still check stores IF i happen to be near one or pass it, but as for the pro active hunt? I say screw the hunt. Its not fun, its not part of the excitement, I like opening the toys and looking at them, not driving to 30 stores and spending $80 in gas and waking up at 7am to get home at 2pm, thats not fun, thats torture, and stupid imho, but i know alot of guys here feel differently, I say gl to those actively hunting and Ill still be on these boards cause thank god enough of you guys actually post when you find stuff:-p And of course Ill post when I find stuff on those rare occasions I get to the store

Found wave 8 at Walmart in Latham this evening. Finally got the PP Officer that's been eluding me. They had one more if anyone's looking for him. They also had Flint, Roadblock, Baroness, and CC. No Bludds or Parka SEs.
I've seen no trace of wave 4 comic packs anywhere.

And your pics of the Club Cobra Commander look fantastic, I ordered 2 last week, not I can't wait for them to arrive!

Thanks for the heads up, dmizrok. I picked up a Copperhead pack this morning at the Crossgates WM. There was one more left (Copperhead looked good, but there were serious paint issues with Shipwreck, his mustache and hair weren't painted). There was one Duke/Red Star pack and 2 Firefly/SS packs.
I also saw some wave 7 and 8 at FYE in Crossgates. I had never seen them carry Joes before. Ridiculously overpriced at $10 a figure, but if you're desperate for a Tiger Force Flint or something, they're there.

I was just in times square TRU and they had a boatload of the exclusives(at least 40) for i think 32.99 and about 100 or more wave 1 and 2 comic packs. What a waste of space. They should clearacne these bad boys already and get some singles. They had 4 single wave 5 cobra commanders. GARBAGE!!! TRu needs to get their act together.
Walmart Washington Ave had an interesting mix:
-IG Destro, Stalker, CC, regular Cobra Officer and Shipwreck.
FYE in Crossgates Mall:
-Wave 8 minus Bludd and CC, 2 wave 7 Snake Eyes for 9.99 a piece.

Found the new vehicles at the TRU in Albany today. Really like the Hiss and the Hiss Commander. They also had a few full cases of Wave 7 out. Looked like they got 2 cases of the vehicles. Clifton Park TRU had no new vehicles yet but also had about 3 full cases of Wave 7 on the pegs. The pegs were actually full for once! Also, any know whether there are different numberd hiss tanks? What does anyone else who got it so far have on it for a number?

I was wondering who bought the Wave 9 from Target I must have came i just right after you because I saw the Wild Bill and I was like Sh!t lol thats all good.I only found the Armadillo/Chariot and RAM/Bubble vehciles at TRU in Poughkeepsie back on THU. I tried hiding the only extra Armadillo/Chariot but some other guy followed behind me and took it.I was lucky to find the Black Hiss at TRU in Middletown on 4th of July sitting in the Power Ranger aisle thats all they had when I asked the lady said they sold right away.At the Target in Newburgh I hid 3 Python Officers behind the Transformers Fast Action Battlers last week not sure if they were found yet
WNYers, hit up your Target's today. I scored a W9 set at Target Depew. Also checked Galleria, there were a few figs there as well, but someone creased all of them (only 2 Ninja Ku's, a Bazooka and WB, Torpedo)
Found Wave 9 at Target in Latham and picked up another BAT in the Colonie Target this morning.

Picked up wave 9 at the Latham WM this morning. All on beat up cards, but I open anyway. They only had one of each and I bought them all. Only Wild Bill and Torpedo left, sorry. They did have 2 of all the vehicle packs there.
That thing with the beat up cards isn't people doing it I don't think. I've cracked two cases now that had badly damaged figures in them.
Walmarts this morning:
-Washington Ave: 2 cases of Wave 9, 2 cases of Wave 7, 1 case of vehicles. Only a few W9 new figs were left, all Wave 7's and Armadillo/Air Chariot vehicle only.
-East Greenbush: 3 full cases of Wave 9, 2-3 cases of Wave 7, 1 full case of vehicles, and 1 full case of 12 inch figs. I left all there minus the BATS and Snow Serpents. Most of the W9 cards were pretty bent up.
-Brunswick: 2 full cases of Wave 9, 2 cases of Wave 7 and 2 cases of vehicles. I bought the 2 BATs, 1 Hawk and 1 BBQ. All others were still there as of about 11:30 am. today.

On top of that I came home the other day when it was like 93 degrees and half my figures i had standing up were knocked over with buckled legs which warped in the heat... partner that with the fact that GI Joe has become more costly then heroine and has become harder to find... its more aggrevation then fun

Hawk but left the B.A.T and Snow Serpent I was surpised but I did get the beat up Hawk from Newburgh.I wonder if the same guy was here and probably got more cases of Wave 9 from here and left behind a set.I just find it odd that Fishkill only gets 1 case of W9 while Newburgh gets 3 cases when Fishkill gets millions more in sales than Newburgh.They also had plenty of Wave 7 cases took some Drivers

Still having no luck finding Wave 9. :(
I did notice tho at Stop and Shop, at least at this one. They're having a sale on GI JOE 25th singles. Buy 3, get 1 free. But of course, all they had were 2 Wave 8 Cobra Commanders.

If I go there I usually try late at night during the weekends when there is less people shopping.I don't even bother during the weekdays its just pure hell to try shop when its that busy.The past couple times I noticed they get new stuff in of Fri. for the weekend sales,Toys R Us best time is Wed. or Thu. morning.Since I'm complete now I probably won't be in there for awhile I can take a break now till September when this Wave 10 hits its just too much hassle trying to find these B.A.T.S I'm happy with 1 and I just hope the ones I pre-ordered online comes through.I'll still post findings if I'm out and about
KMart in Rotterdam Mall had a full case of Wave 4 Comic Packs earlier today.

Scotia/Glennville Walmart had a bunch of figures today, Jetpack Duke, Vipers, Wildbill, Spirit, Snake Eyes, General Hawk, no BATs or Snow Serpents. Someone had pulled the goodies no doubt. Did score the new Indiana Jones lil DieCast vehicles though, kinda cool.

Man I just picked up the rest of the Wave 8 figures I needed at a few Stop & Shop's last week. I could have got a free figure, but I must have just missed it by being a few days early. Hopefully they will have Wave 9 in soon. I'm going on a hunt in about 4 hours so I shall see.
