So far the walmart superstore in cockeysville has the most single carded figs, but most of them vipers (waaaaay too many vipers) jet pack dukes and wild bills. Its tough in this state, it seems. I know its tough all over to find these joes but, I have to say, i think I had to buy half of my collection online.

I'm not really looking for anything older, except bodies to use for greenshirts. Just waiting on the new waves. I do have two snow serpents and the rare black headed variant of Destro from the 2 pack, all opened, but very well taken care of and in good condition if anyone gets is interested at all. PM me if so. I'm real reasonable. Good deeds get rewarded, I find. Plus maybe I'm just in a good mood. I lost another 20 lbs! (sorry that's irrelevant, but hey, i'll boost my ego any how i can!)

not a good day for hunting....
i walk out to the our suv inorder to make target opening time this morning and only get as far as moving the truck about 15 feet. opened the door to find glass all over the place and the passenger side window busted out and the truck a mess. needless to say the rest of the day was spent making phone calls, cleaning glass out of the car , etc. my insurance deductable all but kills my joe hunting for awhile, talk about bad timing... the upside is, the car seat wasn't stolen this time. those suckers are expensive.
anyone else get to check out retail stores today?

Dude, that really sucks. I'm sorry to hear that. Just to let you all know, I used to work at a wal mart doing overnight stocking, and usually ( like 95% of the time) those toys are put out wednesday night, so thursday morning is the time to check most wal marts in the state. Havent checked recently, but i'm just waiting for the new stuff. I want a dusty!

I glimpsed the new TRU 5-packs in the TRU in Newark, DE today...I post it here because there's nobody else over in the DE sightings but me, apparently, and because that TRU is about a mile from the border and right off 95. Personally I have enough CGs and need no greenshirts, but if anyone else wants 'em and feels like taking a quick trip up 95, they are waiting.
Sorry to hear about the truck, arch2b. That bites.

I also stopped by the Target there. They had the spot for the Rattler. Someone checked for me. The Locator said 0 in the Baltimore area.

i thought i was seeing things... walked into germantown walmart and there on a pallet was a wave 9 revision case, water logged, but there none the less. without hesitation i opened it and picked out the bat and snow serpent. this was the first time i have ever seen a bat at retail in maryland.
as much as i wanted them, i gave them to my son. he loves these two guys.
i also picked up some of the rerelease on modern card figures.
there was also a wave 5 comic pack case, water logged as well. i bought two of the new ones from the case since i gave mine to my son earlier.
the bottom shelf was full with wave 1 vehicles and above that, a shelf full of dvd sets.
germantown target had nothing worth mentioning.
gaithersburg tru also had nothign worth mentioning.
Hagerstown TRU now has a grand display for the Joe section. Lots of space for the singles and comic packs. None of the new 5 packs though. Some W9 (incl 1 Snow Serp). Hadn't been in there in weeks.
Did not see any space for the RAT or CONQ at Target here.

This is for the plane only- I am keeping the Slipstream and the file cards off the box.

man, he loves the conquest but he hasn't played with the rattler yet and i know h'ell love that one too once he gets his hands on it.
he was shocked you could open up the wheels! he litterally was all giggley playing with the missles, pretending to land and take off with the wheels going up and down. once he knows the rattler wings rotate, wheels go down, etc. i think his conquest will fall to 2nd place. of, not to forget the turret that turns and elevates... he saw that one right away.

Target's site is showing some stock in and around Columbia - hope one of you guys can get them before the scalpers do. I'm a few hundred miles away and there's no Targets near me. :(
stewbacca
09-12-2008, 01:04 PM
As of 12:30 there was still a Conquest on the shelf at columbia
I picked up a rattler and conquest at the Laurel Target. A nice old lady that works there checked stock in the local targets for the two planes and came up with the following (This was at about 0930 today):
Silver Springs - 6
Bowie - 2
Ellicot City - 3
Glen Burnie (off 97) - 0
Glen Burnie (Ritchie hwy) - 0
Columbia - 2
I wanted to get this out earlier so that we could maybe get the jump on area scalpers, but the internet on my phone has been working very slow today and I wasn't near a computer until now. Hope this helps at least some of the evening commute tankers.
Just a thought:
Is there some sort of "phone tree" out there where we can communicate with each other on the sly. I love the 'tank but it irks me to no end that scalpers can browse through here, find our sightings and then run over there at all hours of the day (b/c as far as I'm concerned every scalper in the universe is the equivilant of a homeless, jobless panhandler) and buy up all of our Joe's...
Anyway, nothing new at the annapolis TRU.

when it comes to target, they have the same website searches we do thus by the teim we talk about it, it's almost too late. other stores are antoher story....
i called silver springs target the am and they told me they were sold out....it's going to be that much more difficult when you can't trust the person on the other end of the phone.
Nice finds to those of you who have "landed" the jets! The Tank is like a radar screen with hundreds of blips all over lighting up with the jet finds!

Yeah I didnt realize it was there when I headed out, the one bad thing about GPS. When I got there I was like crap. But the Target didnt look that bad until I started walking up and I got some threats thrown at me and a gun pointed in my general direction. Needless to say I grabbed what I saw and left.

tuesday morning showed some of the target exclusives in stock. i was already at work so my wife called and went to rockville target to pick up a rattler for me. she was approached by two people while she had the rattler in her cart in a manner she described as aggressive asking her where she got it and if she really needed it, etc. she was actually un-nerved by the situation and called me. i'm sure there is another side to the story but the behavior made my wife very uncomfortable and i would hope that my fellow md tank members would not do this.

I back you on this. I have seen this myself (not with Joe but Star Wars stuff)....let's hope it's not a fellow tanker but you never know. Sometimes collecting and the search for "rare" items brings out the worst in us.

That's real low. I hope it was nothing more that her feeling intimidated by the fact that two guys came up to her and seemed pushy about a product she had already laid claim to. I can't see these guys as being tankers. I'd never do that. Perhaps I'm just too shy to ever ask someone that, perhaps I have the ethics my father instilled in me. Wish I was there man, I'd a taken a good look at these fellows. Tanker's code of honor, man.

Germantown target has the new Comic packs as of yesterday afternoon no black headed destro. I did not pick up any of them. No new singles.
arch2b
09-18-2008, 10:04 AM
i'm sure it was just intimidation factor. if it was someone here, i understand the unwillingness to fess up but please consider how you approach people in the future. if it happened to me i would have shrugged it off but to others it can become uncomfortable quickly as it was for my wife.
now, back to joe sightings... i picked up 4 more of the re-issue figures on comic/tv cards at germantown walmart last night. this case had the wave 5 revision cards. i'd sure like to know exactly which ones are done this way other than random mentions and pictures from tni. does anyone know if there is a list?
wave 1 vehicles are clogging up shelves in most stores now. i'm waiting for clearance prices before i buy anymore of wave 1 (customs fodder), i've got plenty of them already.
the 2 existing dvd sets are also clogging the shelves and i'll wait for clearance before getting those as well. i gave mine to my son and bought loose figures for one of them.
the target website is no longer vary accurate for the maryland area it seems. there are already a couple stores that say available and store checks do not match what they have shown in inventory. i can only assume some are hidden, still on hold at the counter or employee has them stashed. this sucks because it only adds additional layers of frustration to the hunt for these.
I just picked up a Conquest at the Gaithersburg Target. Site said "Available" but the Conquest was all I saw. My first sighting. Wow this is a huge box!
Looks really cool!

TRU in Frederick has about 50 carded figures, most are duplicates. Did pick up a Flash on a non-25th card. They also had the Greenshirt sets and Crimson Guard sets. No new three-packs.
Arch dude, that sucks about your wife's incident. You are truly a gentleman, my friend. I would be lit up if that happened to my wife! Of course there is nothing you can do except not give in and walk away with the product, with a big ol' smile on your face.

I have been at the GB North Target every day this week at 8am, and finally I was able to pick up a conquest today!! There were still 2 rattlers on the shelf when I left at 820 this morning.

i'm running into problems with the target search website and actual store stock....
shown as available: rockville, gaithersburg, columbia heights
when i went to each store to look, none could be found.
anyone else having this problem? this makes using the website pointless in trying to find these.
rockville tru had the pegs FULL of the revision case (wave 5 figures, etc.). no new battle packs or vehicles
if you missed out on any of the eralier figures, your chance is coming now or very soon to get them again with the revision cases.

I would try calling if it says they have any. But that also is hit or miss. I find a lot of people lie. But if you get a good honest person to answer the phone and they actually check the shelf they will normally hold it for you.

I found the Rattler and Conquest at the Frederick Target today. I left the Conquest as I already have one. Also the comic packs were $8. There was a Shp/CH, 2 NE/Fal, CC/TW and the usual suspect leftovers.
Not much in the singles category.

ON a side note, are any of you guys still waiting on DOC.
I haven't seen any posting of the 2nd wave being sent out.
i believe the second batch had an october arrival timeline. i'm not worried, they said as long as they received them before aug 31st you would be ok. i have 2 hanging out there that i have not checked on.
yes, target has comic packs on sale for $8, provided you can find a target with anything worth buying. the ig destro pack would be a good buy just to get the ig for the current singles price.

so who's the lucky person to snag another rattler from germantown target? i assume it's the rattler as it went from available to limited late this monring and well, not sure the conquest is really liked all that much. i was going to stop there on my way home...
fyi, both gaithersburg and rockville both say available as well however i was not able to actually find any there this weekend. it's been like this for many days now.
Wasn't me, I found mine in Frederick, thankfully, this AM.
The $8 CPs prompted me to pick up a CC/TW and another SS/FF pack. Now the wait for W10!
I would have loved to have found the IG/BH Destro pack at that price. Looks like someone may have, although I did not hear any screams of delight at the find from Frederick over the weekend.

if the comic packs are 8$, I might pick the scarlett/hawk comic pack at my neighborhood target
I actually found the Conquest first and while I never had it as a kid, I think it looks pretty cool. I agree though, it does not seem as popular. I have seen 3 to 1 Conquests/Rattlers so far.

I left the BATS hanging two hours ago.....you know they ain't there now. Not after posting it here :) The comment about the Marylanders is more due to the fact that I bought or traded some stuff here and left feedback, requested friendships...you know the drill. then that was the last i heard from them...and no feedback left for me. Kind of weird but I guess expected. It's like take my stuff and sell me your stuff then skip town. Don't leave me feedback so I always look like the "new guy" with no cred.

Where did you find that? I would be willing to pick it up. Or if you pick it up I will pay you for it. LMK
WM in Hagerstown had 2 cases of the Revision Wave with CG and IG Destro. The pegs were full of W8 revision cases and a smattering of the shelf warmers (now) from W9. I am hoping that they clear them out to make room for W10.
It broke my heart to see that many joes and realize I neither wanted nor needed any of them.
There was a case of vehicles (that has been shelf warming at $15.76 a piece)
There is a ton of DVD 1 & 2 packs there as well.

becareful what you ask for...i've been quietly warning about this. we have all be clamoring for more product however they naturally are behind the curve and we end up getting flooded with previous waves which most already have now. the result being stores end up with peg warming reissues and catch up waves blocking out new waves.
anywho, no signs of the new vehicles or wave 10 yet? we need to get the asin or dcpi for the new vehicles, that would make it much easier to hunt for them although they will end up as plentiful as the current wave.
so weird that wave 10 has not hit, yet you can pre-order online waves 11, 12, and 13. it's probably all gonna hit at the same time. they are probably just getting ready for the xmas rush

i'm pretty sure the vehicles were different. when you scan them, they all tell you what they are and they all don't have the same title when scanned. i'll double check next time i'm at target but i don't recall that being so. the previous exclusives as well as the current ones have seperate dcpi numbers....
another disturbing trend with the increase in joe production, it's timed with the price increase just about everwhere. this is another point that i htink will only hurt the line as quanitity is finally meeting demand just as price hikes are restricting purchasing. not a good combination... i bought all my crimson guards at walmart just about for $4.88 and did not think twice about it. now, i see them all over but i am leaving them behind because at $7 or more, it's not worth it to me to continue buying more when i can simply be patient and buy a couple cg battle packs.
also afraid that with the glut of wave 1 vehicles, the new wave will sit in the back waiting for shelf space to clear up. the same could be said for the dvd sets but those are tiny in comparison with regard to shelf space.
has anyone seen the earlier wave revision figures like scarlet?

I'll probably snag some of the Combat Heroes, but probably won't get them all.
Haven't been shopping for a while (period) so I've got no idea what the Target price is right now. It'd be nice if it dropped, though...
Price drop at Target would be nice, but I rarely find anything there anyway. Besides I usually find it at WM first. Not to mention my job prevents me from doing the 8:00 AM thingy at Target.
I actually like the break the latest revision waves have given my wallet. I didn't want/need any of some and only 1 or 2 from the others. The newer waves are kind of the same, I want 2 or 3 from 10 and 11 and I am likely to skip 12 altogether.

Funny you mention this.
I visited a couple of Targets today and one caught my eye.
The singles are down to 7.56 or 7.54 but is all figs that we pretty much have already.
The funny thing is that the comic packs are up to 10.99.
I love it how they clean the old ones out with the offer from last week then they release the wave 5 packs this week with the new price increase. So dumb, those are going to sit there for the next six months.
If this keeps up I will be bowing out soon.

still waiting for the new vehicles... not worried however as they will build up just like the existing ones.
i've got my fill of rattlers as well however if i personally find one i doubt i'll be able to resist.

Mine's just cresting $500 with the extreme packs that came through today. I may have to sell some artwork to pay for all this. :(
I must admit I am shocked at how long regular sightings of W10 is taking. Couple that with the H.E.B.'s in TX regularly stocking them and I am thoroughly confused.
Makes you think that they are in warehouses for the bigger stores, but they are overstuffed with revision waves or something.
I mean why would H.E.B. if they just started ordering these things in the last month or 2, not get Rev Waves like the rest of us instead of the coveted W10?

I'm thinking Hbro is catering (at least for this wave) to online retailers. I can understand not finding W10 since there have not been massive sighting in other states.
What I don't understand is the lack of effort some TRU show when it comes to joes. Some order a lot of singles but disregard everything else. Others forget about singles and actually get the new five packs and SROs.
I just cannot believe that we still have not seen a damn Firebat or the new SRO (I did but it was my friends). Yet the vehicles in W2 and 3 have made their way to NY and Massachusets.

tru- no wave 10, no new vehicles, no new sro sets, no new battle packs, no latest revision wave
target- same as above
kmart- same as above
walmart- only difference from the rest being i did see one revision snow job but the card was bent up and these are strictly for my moc collection so i left it there. there was also a 25th silver carded firefly which was odd. must have been stashed and found during the store move. so it looks like i missed out on the rest of this revision wave.
you'll be happy to know i got almost everthing from wave 10 i need already from bbts/hts(if it ships) so i won't be buying much from this wave, only a few bazooka troopers maybe and maybe one or two extra paratroopers but i'm not really liking those.
target exclusives- no rattlers anywhere, just one to three conquests at each store.

i suspect the germantown walmart just had cases packed away due to the small space alloted for them and were collected up and put out or the collector/stock guy i ran into in a previous hunt was hiding them in the back? just as plausible...

Man I am so confused! Everywhere except big retail stores are getting W10. Yet I walk into Target, TRU and some WMs and they have empty pegs or revision waves.
One thought I have had is that the toy departments of these bigger stores are letting the Joe sections suffer to allocate toy funds for the popular kiddie lines for Christmas.
Not really meant to be a gripe, just looking for some discussion or other opinions/thoughts on the subject.
I seem to remember last year that the whole Christmas shopping season was pretty devoid of Joe product. It just didn't seem to be this early.

I guess I was lucky to get the 3 vehicles then. I was disapointed because the 1 I wanted the most was not there(Sharc w/Deep6)
Well lets see what the weekend brings.

I did finally see the revision case with the Battle Cobra Commander and had to get him since nothing else was new.

i had an rc race in columbia md today so i hit up the target, tru and walmart and found the revision wave snow job and nothing else. i'd say that area is almost worse off than germatown. nothing really new anywhere there or it's already been picked clean by you guys up there.
fyi, every target i've been to has vehicles in the storeroom, dcpi: 087060441 (this is the listed dcpi for the latest wave). i'm not sure if they are simply overstock of wave 1 or actual wave 2 not being put out. i never asked anyone to look.

As I was there when the carton was opened, at wal-mart, the box contained one of the following :fang/claw, hiss tank, leatherneck's lame dune buggy, and the firebat. this seems to be the pattern all around the area. I want my deep six and sharc!

stopped at germantown walmart and again, no new revision figures or vehicle waves. they must be stock piling stuff in the back due to current stuff filling the shelves?
germantown target indeed still has a rattler on the shelf. it took a lot fo restraint to leave it there. i still have one i need to trade. they had nothing else new or worth buying.
i plan on hitting tru tomorrow looking for sro and or battle packs.
Checked WMs in Hagerstown and Frederick today. Lots of comic packs and same old revision stuff out there, along with the w1 vehicles.
W10 is in MD. Not yet at mainstream retail though. PM me if u want to know where. At least 3 more cases on the shelf right now If I don't normally see ur posts here, don't waste my time. Scalpers suck b*lls.

You know, the point of the SIGHTINGS THREAD is to just tell folks where you've seen what. It is not to say "I have secret knowledge, am cooler than u!" That's just weak sauce. It's a non-post. I already have W10 and don't care about finding more at retail right now...but seriously, that was lame.

thanks for the tip.
at those prices however they can stay where they are. simply put, these are not worth that much to me. i love them to death but i'm not spending $10 a figure.
IF you can actually find a giant that sells joes, they are reported ot be $5.99. the reports are fairly consistent in that these non-retail stores are getting wave 10 where as walmart, target, tru are sitting on revision cases.
Mech-Viper
10-22-2008, 06:51 PM

only joes is seen at gaint was in delaware

Target/355, 3 cases of old revision cases. Two cases of the BCC.
TRU/355, over 60 freaking figs that nobody wants. They got in a new case with the BCC.
Target/97, got lucky and picked up a BAT. They are running behind and got the revision case with Maj Bludd and Flash.

THere was also a Firebat and AWE left. I also seen what Mech-viper was talking about. Some dickhead took leatherneck and the Desert AWE out and put in the Target AWE.
There was also some S Serpents and tons of other figures.
I was looking for the Revision Flint...but he wasn't there.

The frederick TRU had 6 BATS and a few snow serpents about 10 minutes ago. Looks like someone hid them or just returned them.

Got to Kohls this morning, and finally got to see wave 10!! But then I saw that they were charging $9.99 for a single figure WTF. Even with the sale that is running, they are still 7.99. Regardless I found myself buying mutt and croc. The shelves are full of wave 10, though and nothing else (no older waves) except para troopers. Oddly non of them, but 3 bats were still there. they also still had one set of the new comic packs at $12.99 or 10 something with the sale. hopefully target will get them while the 4.99 is still in effect.

All you have to do is buy a figure at Target for 4.99 or if you already did and have a Target receit showing that you paid 4.99. You can have Kohls price match the figures you want. I bought a bunch of para vipers and bazooka troopers last week at 8.49 each plus tax at Kohls. I took my receits back with a receit from another store where I only paid 4.49 a figure. They price matched it and took 65 dollars off of my kohls card. I was very happy because thats a huge savings.

While visiting a friend this weekend in MD I picked up the U.B.P. on Saturday the 15th it was at the Whitemarsh Target. I had to have them get it from the backroom, but they were cool about it. The scanner still showed some in-stock, so for anyone in that area they should still have some left.
I know most folks don't want to pay comic shop prices but Capt Chuck's in Essex has W10-12 ($10), wave 6 CP's($12), DVD 3-4 ($25) & several of the Internet exclusive extreme condition packs ($40). There were several cases of the new single pack waves.
I forgot to mention that the Annapolis Target has 6-8 UBP's and the revision case that includes Mutt.
