Georgia G.I. Joe Sightings

[Black Rose]

There are all the renegades figs at the acworth target. They have one hv, one single gun ct, and 3 vipers too. They are 699 until 10/22.

Thanks! Finally got my Duke. They still have all the other fig's you mentioned and another Duke.

[JCross613]

I walked up in the toy section of the zebulon walmart in macon just as they were putting out the Iceman wave of marvel universe. There is still one of each figure left if anyone is interested.

[46 Zone]

Smyrna Target has some renegades, 2 ig, and a hv.

[brock Samson]

Buckhead tru has renegades and HV for 8.49 =/.

[Tracker]

owkwood walmart has 3 black dragon vtol and one vamp II

[brock Samson]

If anyone sees a vamp II with a date stamp of 11681 or lower, let me know.

[alcinde4]

What's the significance of that particular date stamp?

[brock Samson]

It's a lighter green as seen on the left.

[alcinde4]

Ok cool. I'll keep an eye out for you.

[46 Zone]

Big Chicken WM has all the Renegades,a darker green Vamp II and a few VTOL's. They also have one HV. The Kennesaw WM (off of chastain meadows) has no figs, but a dark green Vamp and some VTOL's.

[alcinde4]

It felt like the Twilight Zone earlier this week. Joes and MU were everywhere I went. I almost had to pinch myself. MU waves 15 and 16 and the new comic packs (Powerman/Iron Fist and Captain Britain/Spider-man) were out in abundance. Joes 30th, Renegades and POC were everywhere also. TRU, Target and Walmart all seemed to have stocked simultaneously.

I have yet to find the majority of MU waves 15 and 16. I managed to get Darkhawk, metal Absorbing Man, and Steve Rogers but that's all I've found so far.

[Tanksmasher]

Saw Renegades at Target at perimeter. Picked up Duke, Cobra Viper and a Trooper. Wasn't interested in Firefly, SS or CC.

[Black Rose]

Renegades also at Target in Acworth...about 3 cases worth.

[kjl2381]

Renegades @ Walmart in Pooler, GA.

Renegades & 30th at TRU in Savannah, GA.

Happy hunting guys!

[dewrag]

Renegade figures the new peg warmers :(

[Tracker]

owkwood target has renegades

[alcoholic ewok]

Renegade figures the new peg warmers :(


Don't know why toys from a cancelled show that kids didn't watch would pegwarm?!?

[brock Samson]

I'm looking for the new Steel Brigade running change with the snake eyes body. Let me know if you see them or feel free to pick them up if you want to trade. Now I can make use of all of the spare silenced pistols my cobra troopers came with! I guess cobra and joe shop at the same army/navy store :).

[Iok]

Not entirely Joe-related but I think we're going to Kennesaw for some early Xmas shopping this weekend. I know/think there's a TRU there along with a Wal-Mart and a Target but are there any other decent stores (not necessarily GI Joe stockists, just good stores for music, movies, books, etc) in the area we should be hitting too?

[46 Zone]

Acworth South WM has the renegades wave w/ repacks of HV's and Vipers. Sorry, but I took the CT's.

As for Kennesaw shopping:

Barrett Parkway from Bells Ferry to Hwy 41 (E to W) has about every store you would need for Joes and about everything else. In order from Bells Ferry to Hwy 41 the Joe related stores are as follows:

Barnes and Noble, Ross, Wal-mart (on chastain meadows), Movie Gallery, Marshalls, TJ Maxx, Town Center Mall, TRU, Best Buy, Hobby Lobby, HHGregg, Target, and Hobbytown USA. There are a ton of other stores, but those are the Joe Related ones. There is a Brandsmart just SE of the 75/Chastain exit as well, just south of the Cracker Barrell.

[Iok]

Thanks 46 Zone - that's awesome. Just the sort of thing I was hoping for. Time to get onto Google Maps and start programming the GPS!

At FB target today I found Hogun. Volstagg and Fandral were gone. Hmmm. I think collectors in flowery branch are racist. Lol.

[dewrag]

Has anyone seen anything new @ marshalls, Ross, tj hooker??? The last two years in October has been golden for getting G I Joe stuff, but this year they haven't even seemed to stock any toys for the holiday yet.....

[alcinde4]

I cleaned up so well last year during the holidays and the early part of this year at Ross, Marshalls and TJ Maxx, that there's really nothing left for me to get. I've gotten all the 25th stuff that I could possibly want. So unless the Resolute packs or 30th/Renegades stuff starts showing up, I don't even have a reason to look anymore.

no can't say that i have

[46 Zone]

I don't collect MU, but there is an apocolypse (sorry about the spelling) at the Walmart on Johnson Ferry Road in East Cobb. I think this is a high demand figure. They have renegades and a Viper there too. Same for the JFR Target, and Sandy Plains Target in East Cobb.

Thinking the same thing. Unless they suddenly have some of the POC stuff from over the summer that wasn't widely distributed to begin with, I doubt I'll have much of a reason to actively seek stuff out unless it's eBay fodder.

[zerogouki]

Did anyone even find the Jungle BAT wave around here? My set came from BBTS. Never saw this wave once in any store....

[alcinde4]

I don't know where Jackson is in proximity to Atlanta, but I've seen the Jungle BATS several times here.

[brock Samson]

I only ever saw one jungle bat up at the big chicken WM. I beat Ravage to it by a few minutes. I would have liked to pick up another hawk, rock viper and jungle bat but they never showed up in the metro.

[zerogouki]

Cool, I was just curious since I never saw them once, and I have not had any trouble at all picking up every other wave. I'm about 30 miles south of the Atl.

[alcoholic ewok]

Yeah I only saw part of that wave out in the suburbs near Hiram, and even then never saw Hawk, Rock Viper, or Destro. Wish I'd picked up a few more jungle bats though, but that wave never showed up around here. Figuring Target had a lot that didn't get put out either since nothing's moved from the Perimeter store.

[46 Zone]

In case you didn't know, Howell Mill WM has no Joes what so ever. The West Marietta Target (on Dallas Hwy) has renegades, 2 CT's, 2 Vipers, 2 IG's, a stalker, and of course, several AD's.

[Tracker]

Oakwood walmart has Renegades figs or $6.98

[agent888]

found a couple of sting raiders at ross on cobb pkwy. the one i opened a missing knife on the s.v. and a broken knee on copperhead though.

how much are they going for at ross?

[agent888]

10.99$. i'm trying to stock up before the nok's 7 pack shows up.

[gyrapados]

Found Lizard (which I got for a friend) and a couple Scorpions from the Spidey line today at Gainesville Walmart. No sign of the new Venom though. Saw quite a few 30th waves 1 and 2 figures at FB Target. That was about it.

Cool - I didn't know Ross had any new Joe stuff, so I'll keep an eye out!

[46 Zone]

I found 2 sting raiders at the Acworth Ross for $10.99. They had a tiger claw too, but I left that. This is the only new product out there at the discount stores. Hopefully, we will see the Cycle armor, and Hiss scout just before X-mas like last year's cancelled Target vehicles w/ Jungle Terror twin guns.

[zerogouki]

That would be nice, hope you're right!

[zerogouki]

So, any sightings of the Techno-Viper wave in GA yet? Seems it's hitting in various areas now.

[Tracker]

nope not yet

[brock Samson]

Tru buckhead has multiple cases of renegades out for the 2 for 12.99 sale. The only figure I didn't see was steel brigade.

[46 Zone]

Someone posted they found wave 3 in the Alpharetta WM off of rt 9, on the wave 3 boards. He stated he took the TV's, but I think the others are still there.

[alcinde4]

Of course they show up now when I have no money. Fuck.

[brock Samson]

The Techno Viper is the only one worth having!

[alcinde4]

LOL. The Techno Viper is the only one I don't want.

[alcinde4]

It's all good though. I've got a complete set on the way from BBTS. I should have it next week some time. I just need about 4 more Cobra Troopers and a couple Scarletts for customs.

[46 Zone]

I just ordered wave 4 12 pack case from BBTS. I'd be willing to trade the Scarlett, TR, and Ripcord. I always like 25th CT's. Of course you'd have to wait till they come in.

I agree that wave 3 is only good for one SS, and multiple TV's.

I'll definitely take those 3 off your hands. I bought a shitload of 25th Cobra Troopers at the last JoeLanta (where I met you I believe). So we can make that trade no problem.

[brock Samson]

Oh, SS comes in this wave?! I thought it was next, I take back my earlier statement. Storm Shadow and Techno Viper are the must haves of this wave. I don't count SS as a renegade ;).

[Bandit]

Found wave 3 at the Town Center Walmart this morning. Picked up one of each. Someone came 10 minutes after me and probably cleared the rest out. I'm very happy to have already found this wave so soon after initial brick and mortar reports came in.

[46 Zone]

Just picked up 2 crimson hiss @ the smyrna wm (cobb pkwy and terrill mill rd). None left but they were $20 each. Be on the lookout. Unfortunatly, they only have roc figs (destro, baroness, and ungodly amounts of turtle vipers).

[alcoholic ewok]

Oh, SS comes in this wave?! I thought it was next, I take back my earlier statement. Storm Shadow and Techno Viper are the must haves of this wave. I don't count SS as a renegade ;).

Yeah, saw most of the wave except those two and maybe tunnel rat/ripcord if they're in that wave today at the Perimeter Mall Wal-Mart. Picked up the Cobra Trooper after seeing it in hand. It might be the only Renegades figure I pick up, like the large Cobra sigil on the armor.

[centone]

WM on 9 near McFarland had a few of the crimson hiss and one renegades cobra trooper on the pegs along with the wave 2 leftovers. Nothing new at windward and cumming still only has their Duke / stormy surplus. I did see lots of new marvel cases being put out at all WM's.

[46 Zone]

East Cobb WM (on JFR) only has wave 2, but has 2 CT's and 2 Vipers. Nothing new @ Big Chicken WM as of yesterday.

[brock Samson]

Just got back to town and hit the WM on gresham rd and found two crimson hiss tanks. The driver figure is pretty badass so I picked it up. They had no new figures so if anyone has SS or Techno Viper, I'll be happy to trade for them!

[Iok]

Scored that TRU-exclusive Raider boat thing from Ross at Stonecrest Mall, Lithonia. I got the only one they had in stock but they do sometimes seem to limit numbers they put out so if you're in the area, give it a shot.

Limited wave 2 @ PIB and chamblee tucker wm, but they have 2 panthros for you TC collectors.

[brock Samson]

Wave 2 is clogging the shelves everywhere. Good news is that the bravo vehicles have been moving pretty well from what I've seen.

[brock Samson]

Any recent wave 3 sightings? I'm looking to pick up two storm shadows and a few techno vipers.

[46 Zone]

I've hunted extensively the last 2 days. Wave 2 or nothing at the following wm's:

Perimeter, Lawerenceville, Chamblee Tucker, Acworth north, Acworth south, Hiram, Dallas Hwy, and Cartersville.

Hopefully, this wave will not be as sparse as the Hawk/Jungle Bat wave.

[rhea110]

I found 2 cases of wave 3 last Friday at the WM in Fayetteville. Haven't seen it anywhere else

[centone]

WM in canton had nothing but plenty of W2 today. I'm getting the feeling that well be stuck with renegades pegwarmers until may.

[Godzilla]

Well, Cumming, Pleasant Hill, and suwanee Walmarts do not have any wave 3.

There's one in the Discover Mills mall. Nothing too exciting that I've seen.

[Bandit]

Found wave 4 at the Bells Ferry WM in Woodstock this morning. They had a decent stock of wave 2 and remnants of wave 4. I left behind Scarlett, Tunnel Rat, Ripcord, Renegades CT, TV, and Zombie Viper. I am now the proud owner of Lifeline, Airtight, a Zombie, Law & Order, and Scifi.

Scifi was my favorite figure growing up. Needless to say I canNOT wait to open him tonight.

[46 Zone]

Found wave 4 @ big chicken wm. I left l&o, ripcord, tr, Scarlett, renegades ct, airtight, and scifi. I ordered this wave online so I didn't need these figs. I grabbed the lifeline due to the accessories. I would be willing to trade lifeline for a wave 3 ss.

[brock Samson]

Argh, I'm in New Orleans till Thursday for work and missing out! They don't even have Joes at wm here. Still need zombies, airtight, law and order, scifi, lifeline, techno vipers, storm shadow. Check out my BST if you have them.

[46 Zone]

I know I said I would trade a lifeline for a wave 3 ss, but after opening it, I can't trade it due to the accessories. Any more wave 3 or 4 in the wild? Nothing new @ hwy 92 wm in Woodstock, east Cobb wm, and Acworth south wm as of yesterday.

[gyrapados]

No waves 3 or 4 in my area. Just the same ol stuff warming the pegs.

[Iok]

Found the Renegades Cobra Trooper, Scarlett, Tunnel Rat and Ripcord at the Walmart in Covington. I think there was only a Scarlett left when I was done, though.

[Kitchen Viper]

I Finally got around to picking up renegades CC when TRU had that 2 for 12 sale (Also got Marvel Universe Ultimate Magneto) Hopefully I can pick up a Snake Eyes on payday. I've been looking for Scarlett; have not found her yet.

[centone]

So has anyone spotted that 1/18 holiday camper at TRU express?

[brock Samson]

Well, as I and many others anticipated, the resolute sets (and unexpected bonus TRU POC Quick Kick and Spirit Ironknife) have finally hit Ross stores. It hasn't hit frontpage yet but it's in the Ross thread. Usually takes a week for these to hit us so keep an eye out!

Still looking for Renegades SS, Airtight, Law and Order, SciFi, Lifeline and a few techno and Zombie vipers. I've got a ripcord to trade as well as plenty to choose from in my bst.

[alcinde4]

I could definitely use another Quick Kick and Spirit.

[gyrapados]

I could use a few figures from the resolute pack like Duke (need it for custom purposes) and Flint. I don't need the whole thing so if anybody happens to find it and would be willing to part with those two figures let me know.

[Kitchen Viper]

I would certainly be willing to part with Duke... when I get the set, I'll let you know.

[gyrapados]

Not seen anything in any of the places I've looked lately. Seems no one is stocking Joes, MU, SW, or anything else that isn't freakin' Beyblade or Nerf crap.

[brock Samson]

I've seen everything but joes. Tons of MU from all waves, even Cables. SW is just overflowing and I've seen plenty of DCU as well. They have joe vehicles at most stores but the rest are renegades and old poc peg warmers. Was down in riverdale and found wave 3 remnants including two renegades cobra troopers that I picked up for trade, Scarlett and a totally opened but complete tunnel rat. Still no SS or Techno Viper sightings and definitely no wave 4 sightings at WM. I stopped at a Walgreens on a whim and found a renegades ripcord and tunnel rat and left them.

[46 Zone]

My step sons just found the resolute packs @ the Acworh Ross. They should be out there for the getting.

[Iok]

Typical - I haven't been in a Ross for ages, as I didn't think there was anything to get. Now I want the Spirit Iron Knife and Quick Kicks (got the Resolutes ordered from BBTS with the other 7 packs) but I know the Rosses around here will be like a scene from a post-apocalyptic movie for the next week or so...

[Iok]

Off to spend my youngest's Xmas money tomorrow (he's spending it on himself, not on me) and I'll be calling into Ross looking for the TRU-exclusives. Wish me luck, although if it's anything like Walmart was tonight, I doubt I'll find anything but ripped-open packages and boxes on the floor.

[brock Samson]

It's up in elijay but that's not jasper co, maybe fitzgerald co. If anyone lives in the kennesaw/canton area, it's not a bad hike. Go up 575 and hit some county road. I go kayaking up there but it takes over an hour from downtown. I'm tempted to make the hike but have no business up there.

[Iok]

Thanks Brock. I was going to try and persuade my wife to drive over to Jasper County today but a trip up past Kennesaw is a little too much.

And I really need to hit TRU rather than Walmart, as I have a $50 gift card for there...

[brock Samson]

I've got a 5 dollar reward from tru and nothing to spend it on. Kinda sucks. If anyone wants to split the ride, I'll go up there with you and buy lunch!

[Iok]

Sod-all at the TRU at Stonecrest or in Buford. Ross stores at Conyers, Stonecrest and Mall of Georgia are also bare of anything. The only place I found with anything was the Walmart at Centerville on Scenic Highway, which had a shitload of GI Joes - all from Wave 2, although they did have a load of Iron Grenadiers.

I ended up spending 5 hours and a crapload in gas just to spend $1.05 at TRU on the Iron Man 2 Comic Series Whiplash, thanks to my TRU rewards voucher.

I'm just gonna start collecting rocks instead.

Yeah, Storm Shadow and the Techno Viper were both missing from the Wave 3 I found. I'm hoping to see a restock soon (and hopefully Wave 4) but it always seems Walmart has them and TRU never does. Which is a pain, given I've got a gift card for TRU!

I checked the price on the crimson hiss down here in V.D. (Valdosta) and it was $15 so if it's not state wide, it will be.

[46 Zone]

There is a crimson HISS at the Hwy 92 wm in woodstock. It is still listed as 19.99 though. They have wave 2 pegwarmers too. The Kennesaw WM has a blue gauntlet viper still. No wave 3 or 4.

[Tracker]

[Iok]

Still haven't seen a bloody thing. I'm hoping to hit TRU this weekend again and - maybe, just maybe - find something to spend my Xmas $50 gift card on...

[brock Samson]

I'm thinking of going up to that WM near Elijay that had a wave 9 and 10 sighting. I don't see these hitting retail in force just like wave 5 and 6 from POC last year. I should have ordered when HTS had wave 10 but wanted to wait for a coupon code but they sold out pretty quickly. If anyone has already hit this WM, please let me know so I don't waste time and gas. If anyone wants to come with and share the gas, let me know.

[brock Samson]

I just wasted a bunch of time and gas going up to ellijay. The store he meant was in jasper after all, not east ellijay which he insisted was the case in our pm. The jasper store was already cleaned out of the storm shadow and all wave four figures. The pricing on the figures was 5 dollars.

[alcinde4]

Well that sucks.

[brock Samson]

Well, at $5, I did get techno vipers, two steel brigades which I can't complain about. Also picked up some renegades cobra troopers for trade bait. If I actually wanted renegades figures, I'd be all over this for $5 a piece. I should have picked up some Scarletts for female body kit bash potential. That figure needs some accessories. Give that poor girl a backpack or a lady jaye holster.

[46 Zone]

Brock,

Did you leave any TV's?

[brock Samson]

No, I only found three TV's and picked them up. I wonder if it was just coincidence that the wave 4 figs were already cleared out due to the $5 clearance. Also, the figs did not ring up correctly but they adjusted them at the register. There are tons of 30th cobra troopers, hazard vipers and every renegade figure with the obvious exceptions.

[Iok]

I dunno what's going on with the new GI Joe waves. Sorry to hear about your wasted journey but at least you scored something. I've not found anything since the remnants of Wave 3 about 2 weeks ago...

Also, the figs did not ring up correctly but they adjusted them at the register. There are tons of 30th cobra troopers, hazard vipers and every renegade figure with the obvious exceptions.

That pic that you posted (I don't even remember what thread it was) blew me away. I've never seen that many Joe figures in one place. Not even in the 80's. If it wasn't so far I'd make the trek up there to get some Renegade Troopers and Scarletts.

[Fierce Krypton]

I have a storm shadow and he is prob my fav figure eight now but his left hand broke :-(

[brock Samson]

Wow, so even if we find one, we have to worry about it breaking? I'm having Zap flashbacks.

[Iok]

To be honest, although I haven't seen much yet on shelves, I'm not worried. The movie toys are - what - 4 months away? Given Hasbro's latest revision case - GI Joe 2011 Series 02 Revision 04 - Case of 12 - GI Joe 2010 - 2012 GI Joe 3.75" Figures (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=HAS19775&mode=retail) - has a load of older PoC figures, I think we're going to find a load of the Wave 3 and 4 figures well before (and maybe even after) the release of the toy figures.

[46 Zone]

I have a feeling that ren. wave 3 and 4 are gonna be like the poc wave w/ the hawk and jungle bat. They were on the shelves once and then sequstered by the previous wave peg warmers, and the release of the 30th line. They might show up at marshalls in about 1-1.5 years hopefully.

[ShadowNinja]

Any of you from the Alpharetta area?

[Tracker]

there are more crimson hisses a oakwood walmart $15.00

[brock Samson]

Found a Sci Fi at Walgreens last night. $11.99 but I could touch it.

[Iok]

I just saw that HTS.com has the figures back in-stock, so I'm pretty confident we'll be seeing another delivery landing on shelves soon. Hopefully this weekend will see some new arrivals.

[brock Samson]

Absolutely agree, I think we'll see wave 10 for sure though it might be a few weeks till retailers reset and place new orders. Wave 9 I'm not so sure about. It doesn't have anything wave 10 doesn't have except storm shadow.

[46 Zone]

I've never found anything new at a WG. Do they just have 1 or 2 figs out at a time, or do they have the whole wave out at one time?

[brock Samson]

1-3, supposedly they get storm shadows so I stopped in.

[Iok]

I think people are kind of panicking because there's no Joes on the shelves. Yeah, well this little thing called ''Christmas'' just happened. It's a time when parents celebrate the birth of some Jewish guy by giving their kids TOYS.

There's still a few months before the movie tie-in line is released and even at that point, I still think Hasbro will be putting out revisions of some of the ''older'' figures, so I'm fairly confident we'll find both waves re-stocked for the next 6 months at least.

[alcinde4]

Exactly. The stores always look like this after the holidays.

[brock Samson]

I think people are panicking because of wave 4,5 and 6. They didn't exactly see a huge release online or in stores. It's not like wave 7 and 8 were limited in the least as TRU, Target and Walmart got them in force. The shelves were empty long before the end of the year and there was little product filtering in when product should have been packing the shelves so it's either retailers under ordered or Hasbro under delivered.

I can only speak from my own experiences, but I saw a lot of stores with the Wave 1 and 2 figures sell them out over Xmas, so somebody, somewhere was buying them.

But who knows with Hasbro? Their distribution can be pretty poor at times.

[Fierce Krypton]

ugh must have replacement SS!

[46 Zone]

Just found a Sci Fi and Airtight at the WG in Acworth/Kennesaw on Mars Hill Rd. They were 10.99. I left them as I have them already. No signs of Stormy. Damn!!!

[Iok]

So weird how the hard-to-find figures are all in Walgreens and other non-toy places. I guess it's either that nobody goes there to get them or Hasbro has a special strategy we don't understand...

In non-related news, here's my 7-packs:

Haha. They must have been hidden under the Dora Tent. In reality, they will be there in about 2 years. That seems to be the track record for 7 packs.

I got the packs yesterday, and they are tight. I'm glad I got enough WCC choppers over the years, just for a possible Nok 7 pack. I'll try to post more pics, if I can figure out the photobucket way of posting pics.

[Iok]

Haha! I wish.

Hell, I wish I could find ANY Joes at my local Ross stores. Right now there's nothing there. Although now I have ''a'' Spirit Iron Knife (as in the one in the Marauders pack) I don't feel quite so bad about not finding the POC one at Ross. Not that I wouldn't be very happy to find him and Quick Kick, but you know - pressure's off a bit now.

[Iok]

Off to TRU to see if I can find something to spend my $50 gift card on. Wish me luck.

[TEMPLAR BAGGINS]

At least you guys have ROSS stores to find Joes at. Indiana sucks. I miss Georgia.

Walgreens in Indiana suck. Stalkers, Hazard Vipers, Blueshirts and IG are all they have... and at $10.99, they aren't moving.

Son of a bitch TRU hadn't restocked. I mean, literally, no new stock, period. I understand Xmas took a toll on their stock but that was over 3 weeks ago.

We're off for a drive in the new car so maybe I can plan a route that goes via another TRU and I might just strike lucky there...

[TEMPLAR BAGGINS]

My local Walmart hasn't even restocked Joes, lol. None since Christmas.

[gyrapados]

About the only thing of any interest I've seen lately are the new DC lego sets. At some point I need to get the exosuit Luthor, WW, and Superman set.

[Iok]

Athens TRU has a couple of Wave 2 Joes (Commander and Duke, IRC) and nowt else. Monroe Walmart looked to be either sold-out of everything or resetting their shelves.

[brock Samson]

Heading down to Columbus for some work tomorrow and will make a run to the Walmarts in the area. Hope I find something, have to hit walgreens too in the hopes of a storm shadow.

Columbus was a complete bust, they're still carrying joes but it's all old stock from wave 2.

Aside from a lucky find in Covington Walmart a few weeks ago (remnants of Wave 3), that's pretty much all I'm seeing too, Brock.

Wow, still no sightings? I was just at a TRU in Tulsa yesterday and saw wave 3 or 4 common remnants. Still have yet to see a resolute 7 pack in Ross. I believe 46zone had a sighting in Acworth. Can't believe how dry the finds have been. Funny thing is I've been able to cultivate some trades for the figs I want saving me some cash and off loading some old 25th extras. Not may Storm Shadows out there for trade however.

All I've seen lately are the new SW stuff, thanks to the impending 3D release of Phantom Menace. It's just that dry/slow time of the year where little to nothing is usually found. Though I suspect that the closer we get to February, we should see some things pop up. Like wave 17 MU and things like that.

[Jedi_Master_Ben]

I spoke to a manager at the Savannah TRU and she told me that nothing is due in until the end of February. Might explain the drought we are seeing. My town only has two Fireflies hanging on pegs that are nolonger labled at WM. I don't think we will see wave 3 and 4 come thise way for us.

Ok, that actually makes me feel better about never seeing them in Ross or the waves 3 & 4. I'd checked on eBay, but it seems like the closest the Renegades Storm Shadow, Airtight, etc. came to Atlanta was around Warner Robbins.

Honestly, they might just be sitting in a warehouse waiting on walmart's dickheads to finish resetting shelves to ship them out. The thing is, it looks like they're done and gotten in more stock of star wars crap already.

[Iok]

There was certainly a Wave 3 up in Covington Walmart before Xmas - it's where I snagged Tunnel Rat, Scarlett, etc. Somebody had grabbed the Techno-Viper and Storm Shadow but still. I haven't been back to check since but I might see about heading over sometime soon and seeing if they've got anything else.

[darthfoley]

One of the WM's in Warner Robins has had a Renegades Scarlett hanging for a couple of weeks, but that's the only sign they've hit this area as far as I can tell.

That same store had its reset paperwork out and has space for 8 pegs (!) of Joes, though.

[Iok]

Probably off to Discover Mills tomorrow. Might see if I can find the TRU on Pleasant Hill Rd, as I don't *think* I've been there before and I have my $50 gift card to spend...

Does Discover Mills still have a TRU Express?

[Kitchen Viper]

Last I checked, no.

TRU ON Pleasant Hill is mostly commons, IIRC. Maybe there's a Steel Brigade.

[alcinde4]

Made my first rounds in awhile. No new Joes, but I did see remnants of MU wave 17 (picked up Thor for custom fodder) at TRU in Buckhead. I used my rewards bucks since they expire tomorrow. Target in Buckhead has officially lost their minds. They've raised their prices as high as a giraffe's pussy. Joes $9.89, MU $9.89, MU comic pacs $20.89 and SW $10.89. @_@ I also checked Sandy Springs and perimeter Target but their prices hadn't gone up. Picked up the Wonderman/Quicksilver comic pack at the perimeter Target. Nothing at perimeter Walmart but the same 3 POC Dukes and one lone Renegades Ripcord. I was able to talk some sucker, I mean parent, into buying the last VTOL though. ;)

[Iok]

Cool to hear the Wonderman/Quicksilver pack is out. I've been looking forward to that one, if only because it's a MU pack that features TWO new figures... :)

[brock Samson]

While in memphis I found all of wave 4 but zombies at tru so keep a lookout. I doubt they're going to get wave 9 since wave 4 showed up on their site.

[Iok]

Did a shopping round and found nothing. Also kind of annoyed, as I never realised the TRU on Pleasant Hill Road was just around the corner from Titan Comics store - a place I've visited loads of times. BAH!

Oh and I found a Target with eight figures - all of them Arctic Destro. Insane.

It's like they don't want anyone to buy them. But yeah they did finally move the renegades ripcord back to the peg from the clearance aisle.

Did a late night walmart run, hit like four or five of them. Only one I saw with Joes marked down was Stone Mountain. I got the last Duke and one of the fireflies; all they have left is CC and Firefly.

THe rest of my haul...

Cobra Trooper
Weird deluxe Capt. America in a black outfit (Not US Agent) with buzz-saw type weapons(!) marked down to $10.
Marvel Universe X-23
Imaginext Catwoman (yes, I collect Imaginext DC stuff. Stop laughing at me!)

I held off on buying the cobra Trooper for a while, as I didn't want to get sucked into more Army Building, but man, is he awesome. Now I have to get at least five more...hrrmh... Not crazy about Renegades Firefly, but not bad for $5. I had wanted another Duke for customs anyway, so all in all, hot a bad night.

Good haul.

I'm hoping to find something soon. That or I'm gonna start buying a line I know I can get with ease, like the Masters Of The Universe or DC Classics...

That's usually the way.

Me and the missus have shelled-out a fair chunk in gas over the last few weekends trying to track down these latest Joes and I've had zero luck. So when I saw they were in stock I thought ''sod it'' and decided to go ahead and just stop all the worry about trying to track them down. Normally I enjoy hunting for toys but with the last couple of waves I've just felt that I'm onto a loser from the off...

[Kitchen Viper]

Well, hunting should pick up around May When "Retaliation" figs hit. I'm going to pre-order those, but probably still hunt, as I'll want extras. I'm going to army build the hell out of Red Ninjas.

Honestly I'm one of those that prefers the look of Retaliation Stormy to Renegades. Mainly I just want the Renegades Stormy for his accessories, so if the Red Minja has all of those, I'lll be set.

If I were you, I'd wait till they hit stores, they'll have promo discounts that will make it worth it. It's not like they won't be at every store since it's a movie toy release. I'm happy I got the wave 10 figs, just need two stormies. Haven't taken a close look at the red ninja. If it's a straight up repaint or just a swap of lower arms and legs, I'm game. I'm going to reserve judgement till I see them in hand but I do like the inclusion of holsters on some figs. The ones that don't have them better be great sculpts like the roadblock body. The SE and SS are just meh. I think people will be going crazy over the blue and green shirts.

I try to keep checking my most convenient Ross (Lawrenceville near Home Depot and AMC Colonial 18) but haven't seen anyhing Joe in a while. I figure now that Christmas is over and we get closer to spring, maybe I'll see something.

Went by Walmart at Pleasant Hill and Lawrenceville Hwy last night. Picked up their last Cobra Trooper so I need four more. Didn't have anything else noteworthy. Also got a deluxe movie Thor on clearance... and a clearance *shudder*Anakin Skywalker for like $3.50. Man, that's an awful fig, he has such weird arm articulation. At least he came with some cool weapons. I'm gonna hollow out his head to use his hair on a custom, then chuck the rest in the fodder bin.

Oh yeah, I hit up Pleasant hill TRU yesterday as well, but nothing to report there.

[Iok]

Yeah, I've hit a few Ross stores over the last few weeks but found nothing.

The Walmart on 124 had a bunch of clearance toys (I know there are two, I mean the one near The Avenue At Thing Mill or whatever it's called) like the 6'' Thor and Avengers toys along with a bunch of Green Lantern stuff for pennies. Passed on it all though.

Yeah didn't even bother looking for the TRU exclusive figures but thought someone saw them and snapped them up anyway. Not really interested in the Wave 3 Alphas but I'll keep an eye out in case they show up.

I'm kind of the same. I'm OK with the fact that I have A Spirit Iron Knife now but I would still buy the PoC one if I saw it. Ditto on Quick Kick. But after so many disappointing visits to the store I'm really not that eager to keep looking.

Yeah, that was one we hit on the mega Walmart run.
I think they had like one POC Duke. I want to check that one again soon, seems like they're due.

Hey KV,

I found a 30th CT at the Smyrna TRU. I found another one at the CVS on Cobb parkway in Kennesaw just north of tje publix. The catch is the cvs CT was $15.49. I kid you not.

[Kitchen Viper]

fifteen bucks? I'm better off doing ebay, lol...

Still, if CVS is getting stuff, might be worth checking for Stormy.

Just found a load of RoC figures at a Rite Aid. Snagged a Cobra Eel for $10. I know that may sound overpriced to some but I've never been able to find one in the discount aisle, so it's all good!

I've always had more success finding Joes at the other Walmart on 124. When you're heading South on 124 it's the one with the Wendy's in front of it. Not that I have recently but for a while that was my ''Lucky Walmart.''

Don't I know it! That's the Wallgreens near my hose so I check there frequently. I would be VERY grateful if someone bought those things. Heck, theve had nothing bu that since 2009...

Ah, crap, didn't know there was one, I have to work. Ah well, I got Con Nooga in two weeks and Joelanta in March, I think I'll be fine.I'll try to make the next one if I can.

It's only $5 to get in... Just messing with you. Wouldn't want you to play hookey from work to go a con. Or would I?

Thanks but I've passed on that one a few times. :)

Went to Centerville Walmart, still nothing there.

Lithonia TRU has nothing new Joe-wise but they do have the Marvel Legends and Avengers figures. The latter look OK for what they are but the Legends ones are hideously cheap-looking. Klaw doesn't even have any paint on his body.

I think my TRU Xmas gift card is probably going to remain in my wallet until the Retaliation figures hit...

It's odd how two people can see the exact same thing and have polar opposite reactions. I absolutely love the new Legends. I got Hope, Constrictor and Klaw in the mail from TRU.com today and I like them better than any other figure or figures I got last year except some of the SDCC exclusive stuff. That's saying a lot for me, because I collect 8 different lines.
