Found the POC Wolf Hound at Athens TRU today.

Found the POC Wolf Hound at Athens TRU today.

Do you live near Athens? I thought I was the only one!?

[Fierce Krypton]

Has any of this stuff been spotted in GA yet?



MU
Colosseus
Juggernaut
Arch Angel
Night Crawler



SM
Carnage

[darthfoley]

JCross613 mentioned finding Juggy and Colossus at a Kroger in Macon a few days ago.

*edit* Got my #'s mixed up!

Yea, I found a Colossus and Juggernaut at a Kroger in Macon. They were the only 2 MU figures they had. Out of all of the Krogers in the Middle GA area, only 1 had toys. So, if you find one that carries toys, you will probably find that wave. I have seen several Rhinos from the SM line, but I don't think the Carnage wave has hit yet.

[sharky]

JCross316 mentioned finding Juggy and Colossus at a Kroger in Macon a few days ago.
Sounds like he spotted a couple of porn stars. LOL!

[Bandit]

I don't know if anyone else has found this same situation suspect, but I purchased the new HISS last week (likely going to return it) and noticed that the vehicle displayed on the back of the package is (or seems very well to be) black in color. Even one of the side photos makes it look metallic gray. I know that they used a brown color for the desert attack theme, but you can at least see what it would look like in all black.

I noticed the same thing with the ROC Night Raven. Many of its pics looked black, but the actual toy was dark blue. Here's hoping they'll reissue black version of both sooner than later! I just have to hand it to Hasbro's marketing team for ingeniously withholding the color variations everyone wants until the 2nd or 3rd versions of product in order to ensure they reap as much money as possible.

[Bandit]

Oh - and I haven't found anything other than the HISS Tank and the Wolf Hound recently in my neck of the woods. Hoping for some wave 1 figure sightings soon.

[JCross613]

Sounds like he spotted a couple of porn stars. LOL!

I thought the same thing when I read that.

[gyrapados]

Nothing new to report here, unless you need DCUC wave 13 Superboy. If so, just go to Gainesville Walmart. They had at least 6 or 7 of him there, along with several donna troys and a couple Blue Beetles (Jaime Reyes).

[Mean Machine]

Scored a Havok and Archangel at Kroger today while shopping with my 3 year old. A pleasant surprise. I only paid 4 bucks for the two of them. I guess they haven't entered it in the system.

[Fierce Krypton]

omg!!!!

[alcoholic ewok]

Yea about all I can do is clap slowly at that one. And then go to Kroger.

Which Kroger? Whereabouts are you located?

[Mean Machine]

Close to Athens

[JCross613]

Still nothing at any of the Wal-Marts/Target/KMarts in the Macon area. I went back to the Kroger where I picked up Juggs and Colossus and they have restocked with the previous wave or Thor, Cage, and Extremis IM. Black Widow and Bucky had already been picked up. I went to one more Kroger that I haven't been to yet and they had Colossus, Black Widow, AIM Soldier, and a House of M Spidey. Out of about 8 Krogers in the area, only 2 carry toys. They are $7.99 a figure.

[WeaponXCustoms]

Anybody seen or have an extra SM Rhino? I have Resolute 7 pack figures for trade bait.

[brock Samson]

What's an SM Rhino?

[vengecore]

Found the POC Hiss and Wolfhound at BH TRU. The buy one, get one half off sale made the decision to get both really easy! they were the only 2 there.

[ravage28]

did a toys r us run today with no luck on new POC figures quick kick and Spirit. Went to Gwinnett Place, Cumberland Mall, North Lake, and Finally Buckhead Locations.

Hey ravage did you happen to ask any of the folks at TRU when they might be expecting a shipment?

[darthfoley]

Nothing of note at the WR TRU yesterday. DCUC wave 12, but no Joe, SW, or Marvel stuff to capitalize on with the sale.

[Fierce Krypton]

any POC?

[ravage28]

hey everyone sorry for the delay in this post. Long hours at work this week. I appologize , but i did not ask anyone at TRU about the POC figures. I did stop by the Douglasville TRU Yesterday and all they had was Doc and Shipwreck. I will foolow up again after tomorrows run

[Bandit]

I haven't seen anything except for a couple HISS tanks at the TC TRU yesterday. Perhaps that's more exciting than I think it is. At the very least, we only have one more week to go until the main release. Is there anyone who thinks that the stores won't put everything out the night of July 31st?

[sharky]

Nothing at Duluth TRU or Buford TRU. It's probably gonna be another week.

[sharky]

Made a toy run this Saturday. Once again, no POC figures. I did find some sweet deals at Target in Duluth on State Bridge/Pleasant Hill and Medlock Bridge/141

Serpent Armor and similar vehicles from that wave $4.98
Ice Daggers on clearance (can't remember price)
Night Raven on clearance (can't remember price)
A-Team van $12.48

And at the TRU in Alpharetta they had just a few DC/MOTUC 2-packs
http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/ac164/therealsharky/IMG_0276.jpg

And just for the heck of it. Here is a repack I found at TRU in Buford.
http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/ac164/therealsharky/IMG_0241.jpg

[alcoholic ewok]

stopped by Buckhead TRU on the way home from work today, no new joes, but they did have the new SW figures out. no AT-AT's though, but then again they didn't have shelf space for it either.


$9.99 apiece...def. won't be a completist in star wars lol

[ravage28]

nothing at Gwinnett Place TRU nor Target. Only Good thing is Target has been reset and has space ( 4 Pegs ) for the POC GI JOE ( $ 6.99 ) tag price. Also Target had Tags up for the ATAT

[darthfoley]

WR TRU - no new Joe stuff. Lots of the new SW figures. Haven't been out hunting much lately.

Sorry forgot to mention. TRU in Buford has the AT-AT.

[darthfoley]

Quick stop at the WR Target today. They've done the reset but no Joe stock out yet. They did have two Juggernauts, one Colossus and two AIM soldiers for MU.

[beechhead]

'Ello all -

No new Joes to be found @ the K'saw TRU today - but they did put out a case of the new Predators figs...kinda pricey @ $16.99 each, but I am one of those freaks that would buy a d@mn 'Tickle Me Predator' if McFarlane/NECA made one...still plenty left on the pegs as of 6p

[ravage28]

Cummberland Mall TRU -- Nothing
Buckhead TRU --- Full spread 10 plus pegs of New Star Wars figures
North Lake Mall TRU -- 1 New AtAt nothing else , no joes nor star wars.

Quick note all Targets now have their ROC Exclusives for $2.48 i was able to pick up 2 Corbra Serpent Armor . Time to raid local targets.

[centone]

Time to hit your Targets. I picked up all the new POC figures this morning at the Cumming Target (I grabbed one of each except for Snow Job since I already had him and left the rest, they also had the mechs and new skyhawk/dreadnok cycle). Also saw them over at the Target on 141 where they had tons of the exclusive sets marked down to $2.48 and the A-Team van down to $12. All stores had lots of the new SW stuff on the pallet and all the new Marvel Universe figures as well. Looks like today's the day to hit Target in the ATL area.

[brock Samson]

I grabbed a full set of the poc figures yesterday at Target, found a ton of the exclusives for 2.48 as well. I almost bought that a team van for a punisher custom but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I also picked up a death's head archangel which was a pretty cool find.

[Fierce Krypton]

Has A Team figures hit clearance yet?

[centone]

Has A Team figures hit clearance yet?

Yeah but I've only seen it down to 50% so far and all the figures are pretty much gone, just the van left at some stores.

[centone]

Btw, anyone seen the tru spirit and qk around? I'm also looking for a snowcat. Trying to avoid using up the gas to hit tru unless there's a good chance of picking up new stuff

[brock Samson]

All I see are snow cats, the hiss tanks are sold out everywhere I go. You shouldn't have a problem finding them, just call into a store to confirm they have them. I have yet to see the exclusives but I'm certain they'll be plentiful once they hit. I'm not crazy about either but I'll pick them up next 2 for 9.99.

[sharky]

Btw, anyone seen the tru spirit and qk around? I'm also looking for a snowcat. Trying to avoid using up the gas to hit tru unless there's a good chance of picking up new stuff
As of noon time today the Buford TRU has 2 Wolfhounds (aka Snow Cat). They've been there all week in fact.

No QK or Spirit unfortunately. I've been looking hard for them lil' bastards. LOL!

Looks like I'll be hitting up Target to hunt for POC figures.

[SoldOut4Stupid]

Has A Team figures hit clearance yet?

Lawerenceville target had them all for bout 3 bucks when I was in there two weeks ago.

[ravage28]

Ok here goes.


Targets at Gwinnett Place, Northlake, Mall of GA , and finally Perimeter Mall all have New POC figures, Vehicles, and Mechs.

Targets at Hwy 20 in Lawrencville, and 285 at Roswell road have not recieved their shipment yet.

TRU-- at Gwinnett Place, Mall of GA, and North Lake do not have a thing. However TRU at Mall of GA is have a buy one get one 50% sale on all GI JOE items for yesterday and today only.

[Tanksmasher]

Hey guys, picked up a CC, Alley Viper and Firefly at Northlake Target yesterday. They still had several Dukes, SSs, SEs, a Beachhead and a Snowjob left. Still nothing at the TRU in Northlake as ravage pointed out.

[brock Samson]

Druid hills has all of the poc stuff. Tru buckhead has a wolf hound and hiss tank with the bogo 50% off. No qk or spirit.

[darthfoley]

WR Target evidently stocked yesterday, because the nothing from Thursday was a WHOLE BUNCHA stuff today. Mostly SW by the time I got there, but they did have a Duke, Beach-Head, SE and SS from POC and the Doom Cycle/Skyhawk vehicle packs. Left it all there.

[madcrazyloco]

If anybody finds an extra POC Cobra Commander let me know, gots plenty to trade for one if you happen to pick up an extra one.

by the way went to Gwinnett place mall Target and Mall of GA target and all that were left were the cycle and the ghost hawks.

[Tanksmasher]

Hey if anyone happens to see the new Jabba at Wal-mart give a shout! It's starting to show up in stores already.

[WeaponXCustoms]

Picked up snow job and beachhead, ha jazz hftd drift and the new boba fett and bespin fatigues Luke today. Snow job is amazing and beachhead is pretty solid im going to cast the helmet he came with for some viper team mods. Could not figure out why he comes with flippers though. The Boba Fett figure is staying in the blister until I can find one more ... Also the HA jazz might get pulled from shelves due to his cigarette and lottery advertisement.

[brock Samson]

For a water assault! The flippers plug into the back of the vest near the lower back. Lots of guns (His signature weapon apparently being an FN Scar!) come with him and though I appreciate the 1 knife and 2 sheaths, I wish there as a holster for that pistol. Also, the cable from the tech on his thigh will not stay in the plug on the ankle. I used the clear rubber band to hold that in place. Design plus accessories make this a very close 2nd for best figure of the wave.

Firefly's armor plugs in just like beachhead's flippers. I was a little bugged by how skinny firefly is. The helmet head won't fit in the backpack for transport, which also bugs me. My standard no holster complaints on this figure as well. I think I'm liking the resolute Firefly better, which comes with a great body armor vest with a knife sheath at the small of the back.

Alley Viper is just as awesome as the first release, love the new helmet/goggles and the ascension gun now stays on the backpack!

I already had Snow Job from Hong Kong but this is really the best figure of the entire wave. The way all of the accessories fit together on the backpack, and the lean to you can make out of them is just too cool. The one complaint on this figure is the proportions of the rifle. It's just too thick/large for the figure to hold correctly. I did notice the upcoming Recondo has a much more slimmed down rifle so maybe they're figuring weapon proportions out.

I didn't open the CC but the head redesign definitely makes this figure. I wish the drone came with him as he's kinda bare. At least the pistol plugs into his thigh...

Duke was surprisingly a decent figure, the head sculpt is really good. The sculpt and paint apps are really good on the arms, down to the mud spatter near the hands. I do like the spandex bands that allow you to hold the nice looking m4 or SAW on the backpack. The flashlight fitting in the backpack is just OK, I'd rather it have been binoculars that fit in there. The web gear is nice without getting too much in the way.

Snake Eyes is much better than I expected, the head being the really nice part. The visor is translucent gray and you can see underneath that the area that is exposed is painted which is a really nice touch. The waste harness isn't really needed as the mac10's hang from the vest clips. Timber is really nice, it's the only thing that makes me want to open this figure. Truth be told, if you already have the paris pursuit figure (Same sword/sheath, rifle and body with the exception of the arctic SE head), you may want to skip this one if you can do without an awesome Timber.

SS..... I dunno, this figure is just not very practical. Don't get me wrong because I do like the figure, it comes with a great set of accessories. The waist gear really gets in the way of articulation a bit but it makes a good home to four shuriken. I was chatting with someone about the figure that I think this body is better suited for customs. If you have a resolute SS from the comic pack, you also have as extra metal mask to throw on this figure. If you're into the ninja thing, you could have POC SS as a Dice with the metal mask and comic pack resolute SS as Budo. Just musing but I just don't see a ninja assassin running around with noisy gear like this.

[gyrapados]

I just hope that by the time I get around to checking for POC stuff, which will likely be either tomorrow or Tuesday, I can find some stuff. I'm not really sure if I'll get much of anything but I do want to see it in person to decide. Plus it's the first new Joe stuff in a while at retail which is always fun to check out.

[ravage28]

Nothing at Target at Camp Creek PKWY or at Target off Delk road and Hwy 41

[JCross613]

I went to the Target in Macon today. All they had left for the POC was Duke and the vehicles. At least this line is selling good so far. I picked up the IM/Punisher 2 pk, the IM/Black Panther 2 pk, and the DCIH Deathstroke. I will try Milledgeville tonight to see if the POC has hit either WalMart or KMart.

[vengecore]

found a peg of POC figs at Holcomb bridge Target on Saturday and they had a few alpha vehicles. they had all the new TFs minus Drift, but including leader starscream. I bought Beachhead. I went to Norcross Target today in search of Generations Drift on my lunch break. They were in the middle of the reset (slowest store in town) and bought POC Firefly. they had a Snow job, but no Alley Viper. no TFs were out yet.

between TFs, Joes and Legos there are so many new toys out right now!

[ravage28]

Target at Peachtree Corners in Norcross has the POC figures and vehicles. picked up a CC, Alley Viper , and Duck today. Reset team was finishing up their reset. Also the store has full stock on Star Wars and i ATAT. Target off 41 in Marietta did not have a thing.

oh really? what time where you there? they must have put out more joes after i was there around 1:30. did they stock the Generations TFs and more Alley Vipers?

Who or what is Duck?

[ravage28]

oops sry double post sorry

[ravage28]

all targets are recieveing one case of New GI joes. i was there around 1 pm i think

[meandnooneelse]

I went to Norcross Target today in search of Generations Drift on my lunch break. They were in the middle of the reset (slowest store in town)Ever been to Albany? (The third level of hell) Our Target is cleared out. If they've even started on the reset, I can't tell. Worst of all, Target will be the only place in town to get POC figures. The pegs at TRU, Wal-MArt, and Kmart are all clogged with ROC figures because they won't clearance them out. And with Wal-Mart's BS $9.97 price signs they will not be moving any joes in the near future.

[JCross613]

Last night was a good night for me. I went to visit a friend, who is a collector of MU. He gave me a Winter Soldier, Iron Patriot, Iron Spider, Wrecker, and a Skrull Soldier. I was in shock. I am gonna hit Macon today to see if I can grab some POC figs.

[JCross613]

The TRU in Warner Robins had about 5 Spirits and 5 Quick Kicks for anyone who is interested. I picked up a Quick Kick and the He-Man/Superman 2 pack.

[gyrapados]

Yesterday's findings.

TRU Buford
Found BJ Penn from the 3rd wave of UFC figures and got him. Had lots of new Star Wars figures but nothing I was interested in.

Target Buford
POC Mechs--1 of each
Doom Cycle
Ghost Hawk

maybe Duke and SS.

Target Flowery Branch
POC Mechs
Doom Cycle
Ghost Hawk

TNA Deluxe Impact series 1
Everybody but Sting

POC SS, SE, Duke, Beachhead x2, Firefly, Alley Viper

I got the Alley Viper

Target Gainesville
POC Duke, SS, and Cobra Commander

TNA Deluxe Impact series 1
Everybody except Kurt Angle

So basically I got an Alley Viper and BJ Penn. Man those new POC figures look awesome and I may end up getting a few more but I'm really after Low Light in wave 2.

Also I was disappointed after finding the TNA figures. I love that federation and was looking forward to the toys until I saw them in person. the only two that looked "right" to me were Sting and Suicide. Oh well.

And best of all? I got the Batman:Under the Red Hood special edition DVD from Best Buy for $7. There was a sign up for it that probably was an error on their part but I got it for the sale price, which was awesome!

[darthfoley]

The TRU in Warner Robins had about 5 Spirits and 5 Quick Kicks for anyone who is interested. I picked up a Quick Kick and the He-Man/Superman 2 pack.

Ha, I was coming to report this myself. Only thing I was tempted by in there today was the Legends Hawk and Animal.

[gyrapados]

I also found the MU wave with Havok, Kitty Pryde, Collosuss, etc at every one of those targets but only gainesville target had juggernaut x2. I also saw the Road Warriors at those targets too.

[ravage28]

Nothing at TRU Buckhead, TRU and Cummberland Mall.

[Tanksmasher]

Nothing at TRU Buckhead, TRU and Cummberland Mall.
Ravage, did you check Northlake TRU today? If not, I'll hit it up tomorrow.

[JCross613]

Ha, I was coming to report this myself. Only thing I was tempted by in there today was the Legends Hawk and Animal.


I almost got them myself. I saw them at the WR Target for 9.89. Im not sure if that is right or not because they are $15 at TRU.

[darthfoley]

I almost got them myself. I saw them at the WR Target for 9.89. Im not sure if that is right or not because they are $15 at TRU.

Hmm, at that price I'd probably snag them. If they're still there this weekend, at least.

Target seems to have had some pricing issues - they put the Brave & the Bold Batbot out at 6.99 - then corrected it a couple of days later to 29.99. Lucky I snagged a couple before they jacked the price up.

[JCross613]

Does anyone have a MU Archangel (regular or variant) that they would trade for a Skrull Soldier?

[Tanksmasher]

Northlake TRU has QK and Spirit and all POC!!!

[brock Samson]

I will trade a death's head archangel and a variant havok for a ttt slaughter.

[darthfoley]

Watson Wal-Mart in WR had Duke, SS, SE, Beach-Head, Alley Viper and Snow Job, plus one each of the HISS and Wolf-Hound. At 10 bucks for the singles I left 'em.

[brock Samson]

Little 5 Target had all but the alley viper and cc when I got there. I already have what I want so they're all still there.

[Tracker]

Gainesville walmart has RoC and some good star wars figs on clearance as well as a lot of "The Corps" figs and vehicles.

i almost looks like there trying to get rid of all there military toys

there is not a place marked for Gi joe in the reset sheets

oakwood has the Poc vehicles minus the snow cat and hiss

[tgr81tg]

hey guys - in 2 days I swung by Target in Gainesville, Target in Buford, and TRU in Buford and picked up all the new figures - including Quick Kick, Spirit, and a Cobra Commander! Every stop I made still had several figures on the pegs - as well as all the vehicles in each location...so I spent all my Joe money at once and thank goodness I don't have to keep searching for anything which I know pleases my wife! Haha - but if anybody is looking for anything specific, I'll be glad to scout! Good luck fellas!

[Bandit]

Still trying to find a Spirit, but TC TRU apparently didn't get any new joes in this past week. This is odd since it would make it the only TRU I've heard of that hadn't.

[gyrapados]

My local Walmart is in the middle of their reset. When I went by there today they were totally redoing the aisles and taking down some old stock and boxing it up (looked mostly like Ben 10 stuff). the few POC items they had over the weekend were nowhere to be found, but I'll try to get back over there pretty soon and see what I find. Maybe I'll have good luck. I figure the DCUC series 14 Walmart exclusive Ultrahumanite wave should be hitting pretty soon. If I can get Zatanna and maybe Obsidian or Alan Scott I'd be set.

[darthfoley]

There's a rumor atm that wave 14 has been held up and will not arrive until mid-September. Dunno how accurate it is, but it's from a usually reliable source.

[sospechoso_80]

Super WM in Kenessaw around lunch time had 2 SS, 1 SE, 1 BH, 2 Dukes, 1 SJ...still a big PASS for me...just hunten for the thrill of the hunt...

[gyrapados]

There's a rumor atm that wave 14 has been held up and will not arrive until mid-September. Dunno how accurate it is, but it's from a usually reliable source.

Hmm. that's interesting. I had not heard that, but honestly if it is true I'd be okay with that. I don't have a lot of toy money left for this month. The only problem I see is that September is also dragoncon as well and I don't know how much money I can spare to spend on toys then.

[gyrapados]

well I went back to walmart today to get a few things and noticed they stocked more Wolfhounds and Hiss Tanks. they also restocked the POC toys. I bought the only Alley Viper they had.

The price sticker said $9.97 but I checked it with the price scanner and it rang up $6.97 so I bought it. $7 is fine, but if it had been $10 it'd still be hanging there on the pegs.

I've also found the new UFC 2 packs. They had two Mir/Lesnar packs, 1 seriously damaged Lidell/Wanderlei pack. the other day they had Rich Franklin/Anderson Silva but I passed. I'll pick up a single packed Rich Franklin when it comes out. I have no desire to get an anderson silva figure, and I already have a Chuck Lidell so I'll wait for a single packed Wanderlei as well.

Oh and they had a few odd Clone Wars figures in the new packs. Nothing special. I'll keep checking back though since they aren't finished with the reset quite yet.

[darthfoley]

WR TRU and Target both had complete sets of POC wave 1 singles, including CC and AV at both; Target had the mechs and the vehicles as well. Target also had lots of new SW including Pre Viszla, who I hadn't seen anywhere til now. Left it all. My money really only goes to DCUC at this point.

[Tanksmasher]

Anyone happen to see the new Jabba at any of the Walmarts yet?

[ravage28]

No Jabba's inMetro Yet, at least non at Gwinnett Place, Liburn , Mall of Georgia, Marietta both off hwy 41.

[madcrazyloco]

Anyone happen to see the new Jabba at any of the Walmarts yet?

Tank,
Saw a couple this morning at that Buford Walmart.
$38 and change.

Also, it appears that the Green Lantern 5-pack is starting to show up. Confirmed purchases in NJ and PA so far. So if you're interested in that set, let the hunt commence.

Eh, I'll pass on that. at this point, being as I just bought a sub for next year's Club Eternia, I'll be picking up DCUC stuff very sparingly (I already only get one or two figures from each wave). POC stuff will be the same as will anything else I try to collect.

[darthfoley]

Zebulon and Eisenhower WM in Macon both had two cases of POC wave 1 earlier today. Not much else of note.

[JCross613]

Target in Macon had a case out on Friday night. I grabbed the Snake Eyes and Cobra Commander. I went back this morning to grab a Firefly and he was no where to be seen. I saw several Dukes, SS, BH, and AV. I will pick up a few more once I get some more cash.

[gyrapados]

Found the new DCUC Green Lantern 5 pack, 2-3 of them at Cornelia Walmart today. They also had the new Jabba the Hutt playset for $35 and some change. I passed on everything.

I picked up the last Firefly and the Alley Viper at the Wal-Mart in Milledgeville last night. They still had everyone including CC, but some idiot went through and bent every single card in that section.

[Tracker]

i was wanting to know if someone would be willing to pick me up some Poc Alley Vipers

I would can offer in trade any of the figure listed here (http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-buy-sell-trade/64603-trackers-b-s-t-construction-services.html)

The DOCI figs one for one and the eels two for one

[DeeRock]

Hey fellas, thought I would let anyone in the Lawrenceville area know about some sightings I had today. If you know where the Galaxy Comics is on Hwy 124, you may want to stop by there if you are in the market for things such as the Terror Drome, Defiant Shuttle, or other older items. The guy that runs the place made a large purchase and it looked like the larger items are in pretty good shape. He wants $194 each for the (2) sets mentioned above. I think he has a FLAGG in a large box in the back. I didn't have time to see if all of the parts were there. Worth checking out, though.

[vengecore]

Kyle Puttkamer is his name. Awesome dude.

[jamesmruddy]

Found these today at the local WalMart, (Milledgeville).

[JCross613]

[darthfoley]

Metric craptons of POC at both WR Wally locations.

You just slow old man.

oh now it's on

J/K

BTW welcome

[WeaponXCustoms]

Haven't been able to find the POC TRU "Spirit" figure yet, found Quickkick but left him on the shelf , does anyone have any extras or a location? Up for trade or $$

[brock Samson]

I was at the buckhead tru earlier and found two cases of POC, missing one cc and both av's. I stashed the one cc and firefly's behind a true heroes gun at the far end of the same aisle for anyone that's been looking for them. They also had three grimlocks, now two after I got mine with the 20% off.

[WeaponXCustoms]

is there a tf sale going on I want 20% off too! :)

[brock Samson]

No, there was a post about a rewards member coupon of 20% off. I didn't receive the coupon this time around but printed the one from the post and they had to make a call first but accepted. It expired on Saturday but if you're signed up for the rewards, you get them in your email occasionally. 60.xx was a good price imho, especially since the original Japanese ones were over a hundred bucks. I've been seeing POC everywhere now, at most WM's and every target has some hanging on the shelf. I've come by a few alley vipers, SJ's and CC's now. I'm surprised the beachheads are warming as it's the best fig of the bunch.

[centone]

Just saw this lot of vintage pop up on craigslist in Newman. Looks like there's some good stuff.
Gi joe playmobile action figures a team (http://atlanta.craigslist.org/sat/clt/1913502745.html)

[JCross613]

I was able to pick up the Fixed head version of the Marvel Universe Jim Lee Wolverine at the Target in WR. Still need an Archangel and Havok. Saw tons of POC everywhere.

[brock Samson]

Has anyone seen the TRU Spirit recently in a store? If you have an extra one to trade, I've got a spare CC, Firefly or other Joe stuff.

The TRU in Morrow had both Quick Kick and Spirit yesterday (I stop there every Sunday morning before church). You might want to check that store in the next couple of days.

Any news on POC Wave 2 sightings in GA yet? Apparently they have already been found in AL at Target....

[ravage28]

Stopped by Target off of Hwy 41 in Marietta -- Nothing Target at Camp Creek Pkwy -- Nothing

[zerogouki]

I'll try and check the Target in McDonough tomorrow...I'll let you know!

[zerogouki]

Nothing at Target in McDonough.... :(

Unless you want two Jungle Assault Dukes, that is.

[darthfoley]

One Doom Cycle at Target in WR. That's all.

[ravage28]

Nothing at Target off Roswell Rd and 285 also nothing at Target at Perimeter Mall

[Bandit]

Wave 2 has hit GA. Found them this morning at the Super Target in Acworth. Picked up JV, Recondo, Dusty, and Zartan. Left the rest. Looked like one case on the pegs. Happy hunting!

[zerogouki]

Good to know...time to start the hunt....

That seems quicker than usual compared to the CA sightings. Thanks for the tip.

[brock Samson]

They were in Alabama the other day so not so bizarre.

[rhea110]

Peachtree City Target has them (minus the Jungle Vipers). Looked to be about 2 cases

[sospechoso_80]

Villa Rica WM has about 4 cases of wave 1, except CC, a-vipers, and FF. Plenty of SS, SE and dukes, 1 SJ
someone picked up all the AV's, i have yet to see one in the wild.

Douglasville Target has 1 BH,1 FF AND 1 cases of POC wave 2 except i picked up the J-Vipers and the Recondo for a future trade already set with a GA tanker!!!

I picked up 2 extra CC and 2 FF from wave 1 if anyone wants to trade, or needs one holler at me.

happy hunten fellas

[brock Samson]

So, the way it looks at target is that until future revision waves hit, we're getting wave 2 stock refreshes. If you didn't get your wave 1 figs yet, grab them now or you'll have to wait and hope the figure you want hits in a revision case. On the upside, I've seen remnants of at least three cases at most WM's so it may be that they have plenty of wave 1 cases that have yet to filter down to stores till they sell through the floor stock. I have got to say, the JV is so awesome in hand. You can really move the camouflage to get some pretty cool poses. Also, when assembled, the gun can attach to the figures back if you remove the camo assembly. The two holsters and pistols make this a great all around figure. The only thing that is weird is the webgear, it just sits over the back and shoulders loosely and doesn't wrap around above the waste. The pouches on the chest aren't part of the webgear and are molded to the chest.

[ravage28]

Target at hwy 41 Marietta, North Druid Hills and North Lake Mall had nothing except wave 1 minus of course AlleyVipers . Both Walmarts on hwy 41 in Marietta had Nothing new and Toys R US at Cummberland Mall had wave 1 minus Quick Kick and Spirt.

[Bandit]

I'm still trying to find a Spirit so if anyone find them at the TC TRU, please save one for me. Otherwise, I'm sitting back and waiting for wave 2 vehicles to hit in the next couple weeks. I could use the break too since all of the new POC and SW vintage figs have completed tapped out my budget.

[steelstalker]

Target Perimeter has wave 2 in stock this morning.

[zerogouki]

Wave 2 found at the McDonough and Morrow Targets - only remnants left, though....

[centone]

Wave 2 found at cumming target. Picked up the dusty, recondo, and jungle vipers. Left the se, destro, and zartan (already have him). JV & dusty are excellent but the recondo isn't so great, weird angle of neck, hat that doesn't fit, and weird gear, good for custom fodder though.

[sospechoso_80]

woodstock target had wave 2 last night
hurry up fellas
thats all the joes they had, and maybe a ROC Baroness LOL

[Bandit]

TC TRU has Quick Kicks and Spirits finally. Now I'm REALLY sitting back and waiting for wave 2 vehicles.

Forgot to mention that TC Target also has remnants of wave 2. Saw about 4 Dusty, couple Destro, couple JVs, and couple SEs. No Recondo.

[sospechoso_80]

Bandit, where is TC?

I'm guessing it's Town Center mall.

For you dcuc people, I saw a white Mary batson at buckhead tru.

[alcoholic ewok]

For you dcuc people, I saw a white Mary batson at buckhead tru.

Also one up at the Alpharetta TRU. And a few Flash repaints though most seemed to disappear from Sunday to Thursday, heh. THEY'RE GOING FAST! :D

Couldn't help that one.

Alpharetta TRU also had the new halo figures out and the movie masters harvey & two face figures that someone keeps trying to stash in the overhead shelf lol

[JCross613]

I saw POC Wave 2 at the Target in WR and Macon. WR had about 3 to 4 cases out and Macon had 1 case. I also found the new MU Comic Packs at the Walmart on Zebulon rd.. I picked up the Dark Spiderman and Wolverine and left the Cyclops/Phoenix pack. The Target in WR also had Series 2 of the WWE Legends. The Rick Rude is awesome.

[alcoholic ewok]

Only time I've seen Dark Phoenix so far it had bad eye paint apps.

[babylon]

picked up pursuit of cobra wave 2 (all figs) at perimeter target in Atlanta

[Godzilla]

Buckhead Target off of Ponce and Sidney Marcus has the wave 2 POC with Recondo, Destro, and Zartan.

[Tanksmasher]

Got a Destro, Zartan and SE at Northlake Target. Only thing left was another Destro. Looks like they had one case maybe.

[Tanksmasher]

Buckhead Target off of Ponce and Sidney Marcus has the wave 2 POC with Recondo, Destro, and Zartan.
Was there anything left or did you clean house? :)

[brock Samson]

Edgewood had two cases worth of figs minus recondo and NV.

[Tracker]

I've not been out this week has there been any sign of poc wave 2 in Gainesville/Oakwood Targets

[ravage28]

Gwinnett Place Toys R US has plenty of Spirits and Quick Kicks. No AV'S

[ravage28]

Sorry forgot mention no Wave 2 Yet

[zerogouki]

Complete series 1 is a TRU in Morrow, including two Alley-Vipers....

[Fierce Krypton]

Anyone seeing new IM2 stuff yet?

[ravage28]

Target at Gwinnett Place had a moble IM2 command vehicle

[tgr81tg]

Hey fellas...
I was bored this weekend while my wife was at work so I went to Mall of GA TRU and there wasn't much I needed - they do still have a few of Wave 1 figures and some older ROC figures...

But while I was out I had to grab some things from Target, so I just ventured into the toy section really without any hope - and low and behold, I picked up all 6 of Wave 2! Got lucky out of no-where and picked up Arctic Destro, Dusty, Cobra Jungle Trooper, Recondo, Zartan, & Snake Eyes - all of the figures look great, Dusty & Zartan are definitely stand outs!

I'll be sure to keep an eye out and report if I see some more - but they are starting to get out there!

Happy hunting!!

Well that's cool to know wave 2 is out and has been spotted. Congrats on the score.

[Tracker]

Oakwood Walmart has the new Hiss-tank and Snowcat

no new figures yet

[brock Samson]

So, anyone know when we should expect the black color hiss tanks?

[ravage28]

Wave 1 spooted at TRU at Mall of GA except for Alley

[alcoholic ewok]

So, anyone know when we should expect the black color hiss tanks?

No clue. Could see them in 2011 at Toy Fair, or could be a "surprise we slipped this in and didn't tell anyone" sort of thing.

[brock Samson]

Well, that's what they did with the yellow stalker, just a running change to fix a factory error in color.

[JCross613]

I picked up most of the new MU stuff this weekend in the Macon/Warner Robins area. I picked up 4 of the Osborne Iron Patiots, short haired Winter Soldier, and the Comic Packs. Too bad my wife made me return all but two of the Iron Patriots. The WR Target also had the new wave of IM2 figures.

[sharky]

There is 1 Grimlock at the TRU in Buford(Mall of Georgia).

TRU in Duluth has plenty of POC Wave 1 and Exclusives. They also had SW Vintage carded ROTS and some foil cards for ROTS and ESB.

[zerogouki]

Anybody seen the TRU exclusive gold HAZOP Spartan from the Halo Reach series?

[brock Samson]

Every TRU i go to has them. I always spend a few minutes looking at the new figures and then put them back. Too damn pricey. With the announcement of the warthog, I need three figures to man it. I've been looking for for UNSC soldiers or ODST's here and there on clearance, found the wm hazop for $7 at the Marietta WM.

Anybody seen the TRU exclusive gold HAZOP Spartan from the Halo Reach series?

[gyrapados]

saw the MU wave with Wrecker, Iron Patriot, MJ and Winter Soldier at Cornelia Walmart yesterday. I believe they had a skrull soldier as well. No variant Iron Patriots.

[Fierce Krypton]

I saw 3 IP variants at one time at the Walmart in Athens, I instantly decided it wasnt all that rare.

[WeaponXCustoms]

So does anyone else here check the TFW Ga sightings thread? The link is not showing up at all. Call me crazy anyways tjmax is starting to get ROC stuff in.

[vengecore]

I check TFW, though like I do with this thread, I just subscribe to email notifications.

[ravage28]

Please let me know if you happen to know of place or someone that is selling Sigma 6 Figures ( 8inch ). Also is there Flea Market, store or location that deals in action figures for the past. I recall a Action Figure shop in Duluth, and Also Swanee GA but both have closed up some time ago. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks DJ

[ravage28]

Almost forgot, If anyone cares. There is a Roses across from South Dekalb Mall that still has 2 Crimson Choppers from Cobra vs GIJOE line. They were both there yesterday. Also in Douglasville off Fairburn Road at Freds discount store , there were 6 red masked Cobras for sell.

[Professor Skull]

I have some Sigma 6 figures that I might be willing to part with. Let me know what you are looking for and I will let you know if I have it and how much I would like to get for it.

[ravage28]

Professor sent you a PM

[darthfoley]

WR TRU had wave 2 of POC, quite a few new Star Wars vintage, Masterpiece Grimlock, WWE Legends 2 and the WWE Legends 2 packs, TNA 2 packs, and the BuildnBrawl scale UFC guys.

WR Target, not much of note. Did pick up a Silver Centurion Iron Man, but still looking for Iron Monger.

[ravage28]

TRU at Gwinnett Place has 2 spirts and 2 Quick Kicks, also has plenty of UFC 1/18th Scale. Inaddition they had 3 Cobra Commander red carded.

If you go to the flea market at Pendergrass there is a guy named Billy. He was the one who had the action figure shop in Duluth. he's a really nice guy and has a pretty big selection of figures from the past and not so distant past.

the name of the flea market is Pendergrass Flea Market. Suppossedly it is the biggest flea market in GA.

So check it out.

[gyrapados]

Thanks Guys , i will check it on Friday.

No problem man. When he had the shop in Duluth I used to go there all the time. It was like toy heaven!

[zerogouki]

Hi, I know this is a Joe thread, but has anyone come across the Halo Warthog vehicle anywhere in GA yet?

[brock Samson]

I saw ghosts at tru but no warthogs anywhere yet.

[vengecore]

saw a Jungle Viper @ Norcross Target. I passed. He has a ton of gear, but he is just retarded looking

[WeaponXCustoms]

He looks better out of the package i bought one and he looked out of place... Picked up 4 more they make a great looking unit on my shelf.

[brock Samson]

Agreed Magnus, the JV is an awesome figure. Once you get all the gear on, he just kicks ass. Only problem I have is that the backpack peg is very loose so when you're manipulating the camouflage panels, it has a tendency to come off or rotate to easily.

[Godzilla]

I saw the warthogs at Target in Cumming Marketplace. They should be coming out shortly. Anyone been to any Ross? I saw a ghost hawk at Perimeter Ross. Alpharetta, Buckhead, and Cumming Ross had nothing. I just need a couple of Stingers.

[WeaponXCustoms]

Alrighty so I picked up a MU Archangel today and its the creepy varient with short wings and the skull face, does anyone have the regular and want to trade? Im going to repaint one into the xforce colors but Id rather start with the right character instead of the creepy varient. PS the hasbro website has marvel coupons.

[gyrapados]

If I can find one Stinger I'll be happy. I don't plan on building a fleet of them. So as long as I can get the one I'm good. I'll have to look around a little. Haven't had much time for hunting lately.

[brock Samson]

Saw warthog at gresham wm.

[Fierce Krypton]

finally found complete wave 3 at Athens target, grabbed jungle v, and zartan, I think Recondo looks lame.

[WeaponXCustoms]

Recondo is definetly better out of the box and is easier to pose than Dusty, I bought 2 just for the extra parts.

[JCross613]

I have seen several cases of POC wave 2 at the Target in Macon and I have found several cases of MU wave 10 at several Walmarts in Macon. I picked up Ghost Rider and Capt. Britain. I also found the TRU ROC 5 pack at Ross for $12, but no Stinger yet.

[darthfoley]

Checked the WR Ross over the weekend, no sign of vehicles. Might pick up one Stinger if I see 'em.

[brock Samson]

I went to the edgewood Ross and there was a ghost hawk so I'm guessing I missed it. Who else is checking Ross in little 5 points?

[WeaponXCustoms]

I found outback and his flack gun at Ross in cumming, they had the Ghost Hawk and cobra jeep thinamabob as well. If anyone knows of or sees a Marvel Universe Archangel regular variant I will do horrible things for it, lemme know!

[brock Samson]

I've only got the variant angel magnus. Did you pick up the stinger, I'll trade you for that if you want to go grab it.

[WeaponXCustoms]

I wont be able to make it up there today, sorry, but when I saw it, it wasnt on the shelf it was in the returns pile and being sorted to eventually go back to the shelf,..might have bought some time with that.

[Godzilla]

Hey Ultra,

Was the Mantis w/ the Aqua viper still at the Ross in Cumming? If so, I will swing by there tonight since I live close by there.

[WeaponXCustoms]

Hey Ultra,

They didnt have any of those :( sry guys..does anyone want the air viper from the outback 2 pack? I have no use for him or his glider other than fodder.

[darthfoley]

Checked the WR Ross again today, nothing.

[sharky]

Beware, it might be repacked somehow.

[WeaponXCustoms]

Beware, it might be repacked somehow.

It looked fine at first glance, grey bazooka trooper and the truck...but one thing was weird all the boxes were beat to shit, the figures were fine but dont go looking for mint stuff from these stores.

[sharky]

Stickers could be missing, or maybe the guy found another that was in better condition so he took the beat-up one back.

FYI, TRU in Buford (mall of Ga) has 6 Spirits as of right now. I'm looking at them as I type this. :)

They also had a bunch of new Tron toys if anyone cares.

[Thunderlips]

Just left two Clear Wraithsat T.J. Maxx in Snellville one in the toy section and one near the checkout. Ross in Gainsville has white hiss, ghost hawk & Flack cannon

[darthfoley]

Nothing at TRU or Target in WR of note today.

[Tracker]

i just amused the Ross in Gainesville didn't have them yet that's good news

[brock Samson]

At tjmaxx in snellville now and no clear wraiths. Wasted trip if they didn't have 5 bats.Just left two Clear Wraithsat T.J. Maxx in Snellville one in the toy section and one near the checkout. Ross in Gainsville has white hiss, ghost hawk & Flack cannon

[sharky]

TRU in Buford (Mall of Georgia) has about 8 or 9 Grimlocks. They also still have at least 3 Spirits by my count. They also got in POC Wave 2. Plenty of JV and the like.

TJ Maxx in Buford had a ton of 25th figures. Some highlights include Storm Shadow, Gung Ho, Road Block, Commando Snake Eyes, regular Duke, BATs, Bazooka Trooper, among the usual suspects that have been at TJ Maxx. There are several pegs around a couple of the floor displays near the toy section just brimming with figures.

[brock Samson]

The TRU in Tucker has QK and Spirits, 6 of each. They also had a flight pod vs ram with fixed arm Breaker for 9.97.

[WeaponXCustoms]

Saw the Awe Striker at Target yesterday, bunch of Iron man 2 Drones went home with me this weekend and some vhtf Transformers.

[brock Samson]

If you're looking for IM drones, WM in stone mountain had the air, ground assault drones and single carded whiplashes a plenty.

[WeaponXCustoms]

What price are they at? the new 5$ or higher? :)

[brock Samson]

I didn't look at the price but if you have to, you can just get a price adjustment at the store you saw them for $5.

[WeaponXCustoms]

The store that has them for $5 will make up the differance? Thats pretty neat, off of 400 so I dont know If I'll be able to make it all the way down there, but maybe. :)

[dewrag]

@ people posting locations of found items in the undisclosed locations .....STOP!!!! keep it a secret!! or you'll lose the hunt....

[brock Samson]

What do you mean? The idea of the sightings page is to help people find what they're looking for. Honestly, what I'd like people to do is post that they picked up the clear wraith someone else found to save me a trip of going out to find it was already sold. An alternative would be to stash highly sought after items and ask people to pm you for the location. Then it can be a first come first serve on who gets them.

[Tracker]

if your concerned about folks grabbing up joes before ya can get them; just get the ones you want first then post that there in your area. It works for me as I have to do that, mainly because there are two flee markets in my area and i found that they use the posting here as intel. then they go out and buy all the figs they can get. Basically they let those that post in Gainesville, to help others, do all leg work.

[WeaponXCustoms]

At st mtn walmart no fing drones. Thanks

[sharky]

My personal tactic is to let my friends know about it first, then after they either pass or go get it, I will post something here. I like the idea of helping out fellow collectors, but I don't want to help the scalpers who will buy everything for ebay or flea markets. Usually these guys also have more time to go compared to the average collector doing it for fun of collecting, so they can beat everyone to the punch so to speak.

[brock Samson]

Sorry man, I saw those last week on Thursday or Friday when I drove out to Snellville. They had 4 of each figure when I was there. Are they really hard to find? If so, I'll snag them if I see them again. They looked like they were in special WM promo cardboard displays on an endcap as I recall.

Its cool :) I found some elsewhere though I made the biggest P shaped trip ever started out 400sth to 85sth to drop my wife off at school, then back up 85n to 285 to 78 and stn mtn then up 124 to hwy 20 across through Cumming and finally back down 400 to home. Longest day ever but I found some really cool stuff in downtown lawrenceville, got a couple classics style MU Archangel MIP and a MIP Robocop figure that has duel gatling guns that are actually functional cap guns! And I am 1 Air Drone short of my group of 8 so if someone sees one PM me and please stash it!! I also have the local for 2 Alley Vipers I stashed tonight.

[Godzilla]

Picked up a Target exclusive AWE Striker at the Ross at Little 5 and ROC Mantis. Nearby Target got POC Wave 2 SEs and Destros.

[Mean Machine]

Thanks for the heads up Tracker. The only figures I have found so far is Dusty and Zartan. The wife had me take a Joe break

[sharky]

Today's toy run up in Buford (Mall of Georgia) area

Ross
nothing much

Marshall's
ROC single carded figures (no Kamakura, no WC Rex, no Night Adder). A few 25th/ME: Tripwire, TF Duke, Para-Viper, etc. (nothing to exciting). ROC vehicles such as ice dagger, mantis sub, mole pod, sky sweeper. They have 1 extreme conditions arctic set.

TRU
The still have 2 POC Spirits, 4 Jungle Vipers, 8 MP Grimlocks, I saw a single carded IM2 Whiplash. POC Wave 2 and some Wave 1 leftovers. They had several of the Iron Man/Ground Assault Drones/Nick Fury sets. They had 2 vintage boxed AT-ATs. They had the larger Tron figures as well as Sam's light cycle along with the rest of the Tron toys.

What's weird (or not) is that I only saw 2 IM2 Whiplash figures (I got 1 of them), but nothing else. I thought that wave had the drones as well. Maybe someone got them already. I tell you, the pegs were full to the brim with IM2 figures. It was very difficult to hunt through them without knocking them off the pegs.

Edit: Oops! I forgot TRU had at least 2 or 3 Galactus w/ Silver Surfer figures as well.

[brock Samson]

You found the AWE with crankcase at Ross?!?! That's been off the market for over two years!

Picked up a Target exclusive AWE Striker at the Ross at Little 5 and ROC Mantis. Nearby Target got POC Wave 2 SEs and Destros.

They had more of wave 2 last week but I bought the only two Jungle Vipers they had then. Since I was there they sold Recondo and 1 Dusty.

[WeaponXCustoms]

Got Kamakura, wht jacket cc and nano viper, last 2 are up for sale or trade, keeping Kama.

[brock Samson]

I'll take any poc alley vipers you find out there, just tell me what you want to trade. I went up to Greenville yesterday for work and found a nano viper and winter extreme conditions set at a marshalls.

[Godzilla]

You found the AWE with crankcase at Ross?!?! That's been off the market for over two years!


yessir. I saw it here at the Ross at Little 5 Points. I got the receipt and item in my car.

[brock Samson]

Alright Godzilla, pictures or it didn't happen. That's just pretty unbelievable, you'd be the first to find a target exclusive at Ross!

[brock Samson]

Stopped by buckhead tru and found a spirit, 2 night vipers and a recondo. I stashed all four figures behind the new hiss tanks if anyone has been unable to find them. If you pick these up, please post so others don't drive out of their way to pick these up.

[WeaponXCustoms]

Brock stop posting locations! Remember sending me 25 miles off my regular loop for drones that werent there anymore ? ;) On a serious note guys the next wave of MU figures has hit SouthCarolina Kmarts, hopefully we're next lemme know if anyone see's anything.

I forgot to tell you, I went back to that WM and found someone had stashed them. I restashed them for you. If you're looking at the iron man end cap, look to the right and they're behind some toys on the right side of the aisle. Of course I can't be sure how long they're going to last there. Brock stop posting locations! Remember sending me 25 miles off my regular loop for drones that werent there anymore ? ;) On a serious note guys the next wave of MU figures has hit SouthCarolina Kmarts, hopefully we're next lemme know if anyone see's anything.

Just throwing this out there. I was interested in getting the vintage boxed snowspeeder, but I already have the regular "shadows of the dark side" boxed one that I've opened and applied stickers, etc.

So, if I went ahead and bought the vintage boxed one, would anyone be interested in buying the brand new snowspeeder off of me. I'll even throw in the "SOTDS" box that is still in decent condition with the unused diorama insert. I was thinking of selling it for $15 to make it worth your while. They are going for $25. At the time, I got it on sale for $20.

Let me know if anyone is interested.

[WeaponXCustoms]

heck yes! I wont be able to buy it till Saturday at the earliest though

Just for you brock. :)

Anybody seen the APCs at Big Lots?

[WeaponXCustoms]

[gyrapados]

at Cornelia K-Mart I found Whiplash, Hulkbuster Iron Man, and 2 Weapons Assault Drones yesterday.

After looking at the pricing label in your pic, I'm pretty sure that was never shipped to Ross. Looks like that price label came from another vehicle and was transplanted and then returned. It's still a great and rare find considering someone had it and would rather have had a stinger/hiss/flak than that vehicle.

I was suspecting the same thing with the semi-peeled off ross tag. Either way, it was like finding gold. Well almost. :-)

So I'm just going to throw this out there since Gi-Joe is in a dry spell right now between waves, do you guys collect other lines? I collect Trasnfomers, Gi-joes, Marvel Universe, some StarWars and random 1:18 military sets like the biglots toys, and Ironman, which will turn into Thor and CaptAmerica figures.

[zerogouki]

I've been buying the Iron Man figures, plus I buy lots of Japanese toys and stuff. I'm also picking up the new Tron Legacy figures.

[darthfoley]

Saw an Ice Cutter at Watson WM in WR, first one of those I'd run across. Looks neat, if I was a kid I'd definitely want one. Joes are pretty far down on my interest list these days, though. Mostly just DCUC for me.

[WeaponXCustoms]

I think we should post more sightings here than just Joe stuff, I try to but I dont know if its a welcome idea or not...we've got tfw I try to keep my tf posts over there, but marvel, dc..etc are shoved off on the toyark site and no one posts over there, so what say you guys? I'm also wanting to suggest a Georgia swap meet, someplace nuetral, once a month we all get together have a beer if wanted and trade, swap stories, eat drink and be merry tankers.

[alcoholic ewok]

picked up a Yarna D'al'gargan for $2 at Kohl's. The cash I'll spend for a little knife & cup is staggering. lol

The ultimate peg warmer that not even Wild Bill can rival. Ironically, that figure is actually very good. It' s just that it's a figure of a gross fat woman that only Jabba could love. :D

[WeaponXCustoms]

I want one for my MU display she'll be Blob's wife lol

[JCross613]

Saw all of the DCUC Wave 15 at the KMart in Milledgeville last night. They also had the Modern Variant of Starman. Nothing else new to report.

[darthfoley]

WR KMart had 3 cases of the DCUC wave 15 this past weekend. I already have an order in so I didn't pick up any. Also for those interested, be aware that 10/24 to 10/30 all DCUC will be 7.75 at KMart, and apparently their current 5.00 off toy coupon can be used. DCUC for 2.75!
