Georgia G.I. Joe Sightings

[madcrazyloco]

was wondering if anyone happen to have an extra quick kick?? Really only need his upper legs but I'll take the whole figure.

[Tracker]

i help but I not even see any of the DVD pack past the weather dominator


BTW the Flowerybranch Target and the New Terminator Figs and new Startrek toys including the bridge,transporter set, phaser, tricorder, and communicator

[gyrapados]

Has anyone seen the wave 7 DC figures (the Atom Smasher wave)?
So far I have Captain Cold and Booster Gold. I've seen the Aquaman but am holding off on buying him, hoping I can get the build a figure parts without having to get him too. But I'd really like to get Blue Beetle and Big Barda.

there was lots of Terminator, Star Trek and Wolverine Origins TRU exclusives at the MOG TRU this past weekend.

[madcrazyloco]

was wondering if anyone happen to have an extra resolute trooper loose, doesn't matter if it is 5 pack or single. Really just need the upper legs.

thanks

4x Resolute 5 pack at Norcross Target. I know its not Loose, but I haven't found a single trooper yet. I just repainted mine from the 5 pack the appropriate colors from the screengrabs.

I know this is probably out of your travelling range, but the TRU in Warner Robins has 2 Kid Flash and Barda as of last week. For wave 7A your best bet atm seems to be TRU, 7B seems to be Wal-Mart for the time being, until TRU catches up (most likely in about 3-4 weeks from now).

Oakwod Wal-mart about (8) 5 packs

Has any of you seen the new Resolute joe?

[alcoholic ewok]

Has anyone picked up the HOH figures from a store around here yet?

I haven't seen them yet :(

Aren't HOH online only????

[Tracker]

there are folks that have found in places like Suncoast and places that don't normally carry lot's of toys . The price is close to $12.99

[BMF]

do you know where a suncoast is locally to Hall county ?
The only one I knew of was at MOG and it went out of business a while ago..

[Tracker]

i don't know where any are but let me look up on the net real quick


quick update: it looks like there are none Ga. but sine the popped up at a place like that it might be a good idea to look in places like walgreens and other odd place that might carry them.

[darthfoley]

I've also seen a few reports of people finding them at FYE.

[JCross613]

I've also seen a few reports of people finding them at FYE.


Too bad we no longer have an FYE or Suncoast in the Macon Mall. By the way, is there and FYE in WR anywhere?

[brock Samson]

I'm sure some of you are watching resolute. It's an absolute disappointment. They stripped most of the details from the characters and rewrote all kinds of things. I thought this was going to be the saving grace with the movie sucking so badly. Oh well, I guess Michael Bay can do a better job in comparison.

On a sightings note, I was at the south buckhead target and they had at least 6 of the sarlaac pit battle pack for 13.74 if anyone is looking for them.

I respectfully disagree with you. I think the writing is great and I don't think they've stripped any details from the characters instead they are just telling a story with the characters we all know with out having to added much to them. With 5 min ep's they can't go too much in to character development instead they chose focus on story telling

[Tracker]

i think i found FYE online

I'm fairly sure there's an FYE in the Galleria Mall in WR. But then I had no idea the FYE in Macon had closed so the WR store may not be there any more either.

I was ok with them killing Bazooka and Major Bludd but I gotta admit, after they killed off Storm Shadow I lost interest.
Before that, I was loving it though.

I like the new Toon! Cobra always got away in the 80's! It's time to Kill Cobra Commander!

[tigermask44]

I love resolute. That's all I will say about that. FYE in Arbor place mall has the hall of heroes figs for 12.99.

[Tracker]

I'm hoping C.Commander gets way

[paraviper]

I'm hoping C.Commander gets way

I hope he gets away as well. I hope some joes get killed also. I wanna see a Joe die! They should have firefly kill a Joe or two.

[Fierce Krypton]

Please if anyone sees the Captain America 3 3/4 inch figure let me know!!! Also... I am looking for a Henry Jones Jacket if anyone has one as well as a 1:18 diecast aston martin vanquish.... mainly just the CA though!!

i would be interesting but i don't want to see them go if it just mind less killing for killing sake, so far all that died was because it help advance the story or to make a point which i s pulse as far a story telling.

np i keep any eye out

[Fierce Krypton]

still looking for those items, let me know if yall spot it! thanks.

[Bandit]

Still trying to locate a Tunnel Rat/SS CP in the Kennesaw area. No luck thus far. 440 is a bit too far to drive for it. Haven't seen anything else noteworthy for the line naturally since the movie is coming.

Looking for DCU Wave 7 too. I'd appreciate the heads up if anyone finds them in K/ACW/WDSTK. I have not seen any MU wave 3 since my first landing several weeks back.

Does anyone know when the GIJoe movie figs are scheduled to be released?

[BMF]

Does anyone know when the GIJoe movie figs are scheduled to be released?

Im wondering that myself, im ready.

Also, FINALLY found a sky hawk at TRU in Duluth.

[gyrapados]

still looking for those items, let me know if yall spot it! thanks.

well I know where you can find a MU Captain America. It's in Buford at Galactic Quest. I don't know how far that is from you, which could be an issue. The other potential issue is price. if I remember correctly it was $12 or $13, which might be a lot more than you are willing to pay for it.
But I figured I'd pass along the info at least. Most of wave 1 and 2 are there but they are all that price.

[Tracker]

hi this is a non joe question but dose anyone know if the hobby lobby in Buford carries this in there stores. The site it Hobby lobby's online catalog

Well I know the one in John's Creek does. The can's are white with clear tops now too. I think I paid $4.49 a can. It sucks that this stuff is so expensive when its so essential!

if that one carries then there a good chance the one in bufoard will too :)

Yea is dose suck, but it work so good if the made the cans bigger it wouldn't hurt to much to pay that price. I've been working with the Kylon Crystal Clear flat and I find it dose work "sometimes" you have to make sure conditions are just right for it to work other wise i doesn't cure right.

I never had that problem with Terstor's But scine the hobby store close here and The War Room closed in Norcross. I've not not had a place to find it till now.

[DeeRock]

Anybody interested in purchasing a Masters of the Universe Mer-man figure? A buddy of mine at work got a total of (4) of them but we are keeping two. Just send me a PM if interested.

im not trying to be a dick but this is exactly why Mattel should have never increased the amount of figures per house hold you can purchase. I am not collecting this series but have friends that do and they were not able to get Mer-Man because of stuff like this.

[tigermask44]

Has anybody seen the Wolverine Origins cyclops and iceman out yet?

[darthfoley]

im not trying to be a dick but this is exactly why Mattel should have never increased the amount of figures per house hold you can purchase. I am not collecting this series but have friends that do and they were not able to get Mer-Man because of stuff like this.

The limit is 10 per order, has been for every figure except Faker, when they reduced it to 4 because they had limited supplies. His buddy getting 4 is well below the established 'maximum'.

According to Mattel (take it for what you will), the vast majority of orders are for 4 or less.

Personally, I got two thanks to Mattel's website glitching out and double charging me, so I have a Mer-Man for trade/sale as well if anyone needs it.

[darthfoley]

WR Target got in a couple of cases of Marvel wave 3. Had multiples of everyone except Ms. Marvel, whom they had none of. Picked up the classic Iron Man.

Man, you are lucky. No where in Macon or Milledgeville has even gotten past wave 1. I will try to make the hour drive to WR tomorrow. Hopefully there will be something left of wave 3. Thanks for the heads up.

Not a problem, hopefully they will still be there for ya. Did you manage to snag a Sgt. Slaughter yet? I haven't seen any more of them but if you still need one I will keep an eye out.

Yea, hopefully I can atleast get a few. No, I haven't got a Slaughter yet. One of my friends picked up the last one at TRU. I want him but not as bad as the Marvel figs. I have even started buying the DC Infinite Heroes. By the way, were there any wave 2 Marvel figs left?

Jason

[darthfoley]

They had 2 of Green Hulk, Captain America, Ronin and a single Green Goblin if I remember right in addition to multiples of Hand Ninja, Punisher, Thing and Classic IM.

I just gave up on Infinite Heroes; actually have mine on ebay at the moment. I decided to put my DC collector $ towards the DCUC line only, and leave the 3 3/4" stuff to Joe and Marvel. Noticed that Target has the IH 3-packs marked down to 9.99 at the moment as well.

I'll give a shout if I run across another Slaughter as well.

[Mean Machine]

I swore off collecting figures , but they dragged me back in. Scored a Slaughter at the TRU in Buford. His leg articulation reminds of the aliens off that Charlie Sheen movie that I can't remember the name of

[Tracker]

I know one thing there's no use in buying figures in Gainesville or Oakwood now no seem to be restocking

[Mean Machine]

Yeah, I've pretty much given up on the Hall County area. I did see
an Animal Planet playset at Toys R Us that had a zebra striped Cobra F.A.N.G. It was a little altered, but it was definately a FANG. I should have taken a picture

[Fierce Krypton]

So, I'm not on that side of town but I saw one today and grabbed it cause I knew you had been looking for one. LMK if you want it.

[Baron Samedi]

If anyone sees Marvel Universe Captain America in Kennesaw/cartersville/rome/marietta area please please please PM me and let me know.

Target in Columbus had 2 the last time I was in there. It's a ways away, but worth it if you want it.

A few Resolute single-Carded figs over at K-Mart in Columbus.

[gyrapados]

I was at the Oakwood Walmart today and I found the new Iceman, Cyclops and unmasked Wolverine from the Wolverine origins line. They had one of each. I got the iceman and passed on the other two. So they are they if anyone wants it.

And I really wish I could find some Resolute single carded troopers. (wouldn't mind having the resolute CC and Duke either, but the troopers are the priority). I haven't seen that wave of figures ever.

[JCross613]

I just got back from the WR Target. I was able to get Classic IM and Black SM. I missed Capt. America. They still had several Punishers, Black SM, Ronin, and Hand Ninja. I'm just tight on cash right now.

I got the main two that I wanted. I'm pretty sure Macon and Milledgeville will be overloaded with MU Wave 2 and 3 in the next week or so.

[darthfoley]

I'm debating whether or not to pick up the black Spidey. The figure is nice, just not a big fan of the character.

[JCross613]

I'm not a big Spidey fan either, but I just couldn't resist. I was only gonna get a select few but I got hooked. I'm addicted to Marvel figures now. I just got into the Marvel Legends. I had Mr. Sinister, Black Panther, 2 Variant Blue Angels, and 2 Colossus figures come in this week. I picked up the X-Factor Cyclops and Omega Red a couple of weeks ago from Smileys Flea Market. Now if I could just get the First Appearance Spiderman, I will be able to complete my Sentinel. My wife is gonna kill me if I don't stop buying all of these figures.

Woo hoo! Finally found some MU wave 3 today at Gainesville Target.

They had:

Punisher
Iron Man (classic)
Thing
Hand Ninja

Hulk (wave 2--green)
Green Goblin
Ronin


I got the Iron Man, Thing and Hulk.

Too bad I missed out on the modern Ms. Marvel (whom I still really want). But I'm pretty happy.

so if you need any of the others they are still there.
:)

[Fierce Krypton]

Yay!!!! I finally found my Captain America! Looks like I want need that cap after all Crazy. I found him at the Target in Acworth, they still have a goblin, hand ninja, ronin, thing, punisher and others.

Also if anyone is after paravipers there is about 7 there. 1 Airborne, and 4 pilot scarletts not to mention a ton of other cobra troop builders.

[gyrapados]

I'm happy for you Kryton. I know you've been searching for the Captain America for a while now.
Just out of curiosity when you say they had others, did you mean others from wave 3 or was it the first two waves? Just curious since I'm searching for modern Ms. Marvel.

[Fierce Krypton]

uhh it was a bunch that I had never seen, prob the ones in the wave with CA. the Thing was there, green goblin, Hulk, some ninja, and some others but thats all I remember.

[JCross613]

I was just told that the Wal-Mart in Milledgeville has MU wave 3 including the both Ms. Marvels and a Capt. America.

Jason

[JCross613]

Macon had absolutely nothing last night. No Joes or Marvel Universe. So, I decided to drive all the way back to Milledgeville and I was able to pick up a Capt. America, Hand Ninja, Thing, and Ms. Marvel (Variant). They still had a Hulk, several black spideys, several Classic IM, several new Punishers, and the regular Ms. Marvel. It is better than nothing, but what happened to my wave 2?

[gyrapados]

Who are you looking for from wave 2?

[darthfoley]

WR TRU got in a case of Wave 3 today - I picked up a black Spidey and both Ms. Marvels. I think everything else from the case was still there as of 1:30ish. Nothing else of interest.

I know this is a longshot at this point, but if anyone sees a Bullseye and can snag it for me, please do. I'll pay cost + a finder's fee. He's the only one from the line I actually want that I've never seen.

I have only seen two in the Middle GA area. I passed on the first one I saw at the Kmart in Milledgeville, but luckily I found another one at the Target in Macon, so I picked it up. I will keep my eyes open for you.

[JCross613]

Who are you looking for from wave 2?

The main one I want is the Gray Hulk. I would also like an Iron Fist, Ronin, and Green Goblin.

Thanks,

Hey Jason, WR Target has 4-5 Ronins and a Green Goblin as of 6:30 this evening. I can swing by at lunch and grab them tomorrow (if they're still there) if you like; I would have gone ahead and gotten them but unfortunately payday isn't til tomorrow.

They had apparently gotten at least one more case of wave 3 as they had another Thing and several black Spideys, Hand Ninjas and Punishers. They also had one each of the new darker deco'd red/blue Spidey and 'regular' Human Torch. 2 Caps as well.

I appreciate it. I will be in that area tonight. I will probably just pick up the Ronin, Spiderman redeco, Green Goblin, and Storm redeco. Thanks for keeping me posted

[Mean Machine]

Has anyone spotted Marvel wave 3 in the Buford/Gainesville area?

[gyrapados]

Has anyone spotted Marvel wave 3 in the Buford/Gainesville area?


Tuesday of this week I found Thing, classic Iron Man and the Punisher from wave 3 at Gainesville Target. I got the thing and iron man but punisher was still there as were a few wave 2 figures.

[Mean Machine]

Thanks for the heads up. I think the Thing looks great and would like to get my hands on Iceman as well. The articulation on cyclops sucks, but my two year old loves it

[gyrapados]

I picked up Iceman last weekend at the Oakwood Walmart too. so you should find him soon.

BTW, since we never got around to it last fall i thought with the summer coming it might be nice to have a Georgia Joe Meet. But here's the thing:

where are most of you located in Georgia (I'd like to pick as central a location as possible so as many people as possible could come).

it would be called a Joe meet, but you could bring other stuff too (I colled MU, DCUC, random Transformers, MOTU).

we can figure out details like food, etc once we know who is coming, when and the location.
Throw some ideas out there guys and lets make this happen.

[Fierce Krypton]

I live in Kennesaw gyrapados. There is an awesome park in down town Kennesaw near me, if my location ends up near the middle of us all(which it might since its near ATL) then that would be a pretty good place for us to meet, I know they have RC jet shows and stuff like that there. Keep me posted.

here is a link for a lil info on the park. http://www.kennesaw-ga.gov/index.aspx?NID=368

[gyrapados]

Thanks for the link, Krypton.
My goal is for everyone who attends to be able to drive to whatever location we choose within an hour or so (so as to keep it reasonable). Me personally, I live in northeast GA up above Gainesville, so wherever we do it it will be a drive for me, but that is okay. I want to be as accomadating(sp?) as possible.

oh and on the findings front...

at Cornelia Walmart today....

Marvel Universe wave 3
1 classic Ms. Marvel
1 Modern Ms. Marvel
2 classic Iron Man
2 Thing
2 o4 3 Punishers
2 Hand Ninjas
2 Black Spiderman


Wave 2
Hulk (green) x2
Captain America x2
Green Goblin x2
Ronin x1 or 2

variant Johnny Storm x1
variant Spiderman x1

wave 1
Spiderman
stealth suit Iron Man


so needless to say they had a LOT of MU. and that is weird since they rarely get anything MU. I picked up both ms. marvels. the modern one has a little sloppy paint on her left breast where the lightning (?) insignia goes across it. but it's the first modern Ms. Marvel I've found so I didn't want to pass on it. I may try to get one with a little better paint job later.
and not one iron fist in the bunch (not that I want one, just funny that he seems to be the hardest to find).

:)

[JCross613]

I finally made it to the WR Target yesterday. I saw every figure I need except the Grey Hulk, but as I was about to pick up the figs I needed, by daughter came up to me with a sad look holding the new Hannah Montana CD. I uttered a couple of bad words under my breath as I put back each of the figures. I'm just playin, I did put the figures back, but I would rather do for my family than for myself. I will find them again soon enough.

[aileybay]

hi guys i just get a Rise of cobra scarlet in powerarmor cool when I can I will posts pic

[gyrapados]

hi guys i just get a Rise of cobra scarlet in powerarmor cool when I can I will posts pic

Where did you get it? Looking forward to that pic.


oh and as for findings.....

in Toccoa Walmart

MU wave 3
Black Spidey
Punisher
Thing
Classic Iron Man x4

nothing else there though except for old Joe CPs, wild bill, a hiss driver, a few snow serpents, a couple of Snow Jobs and a lone Crimson Guard.

[JCross613]

I finally made it back to the WR Target and picked up a Ronin, the dark blue Spiderman, and the blue and white Human Torch. I passed on the Green Goblin. I still need a grey Hulk. Maybe I will be able to get one at the Target in Macon since they haven't restocked since they put out their first set of Wave 1. They sold out about a month ago and still have not restocked.

[gyrapados]

I've been finding a lot of MU wave 3 lately. after finding a ton of it this past Sunday in Cornelia at Walmart I swung by there yesterday and they had restocked it again with pretty much everybody from waves 1 and 2, except no grey hulk, green goblin or iron fist.
Maybe that is a good sign for distrubution. At least I hope.

[dewrag]

Hey I was wondering if anyone's see any Sky hawks in or around the Atlanta area.

[Tracker]

as far I've seen noone has reported any

I head that there is a new hobby store next to the hobby lobby in Buford right know as friend ,that is a dedicated miniature gamer, told me about it.

i think i found it on line
http://www.phoenixgames-atl.com/newsletter/archive.php

[darthfoley]

Picked up the Iceman and Cyclops from the W:O line and a dark deco Spidey from the WR TRU today. Nothing else of note.

[gyrapados]

I was in Athens today and went by TRU. They had several MU wave 3 figures (Punisher, Hand Ninja, Black Suit Spidey, Thing, classic Iron man, multiples of each). They had next to nothing Joe wise.

oh and if you need any Rippers or python patrol cobra troopers you can get them at Target in Athens. They've got at least 6 Rippers. lol.

You are right about the hobby store. they've got dice, tokens, and lots of warhammer stuff if that is what you're into. Me, I still play Heroclix occassionally but that is about it as far as gaming goes.

[JCross613]

Picked up the Iceman and Cyclops from the W:O line and a dark deco Spidey from the WR TRU today. Nothing else of note.


You beat me to it. I'm headed that way tonight. Were there anymore Cyclops figures?

Thanks,

Jason

[darthfoley]

No, just one of each, plus one unmasked Wolvie which I left. I'll keep an eye out though.

Iceman is pretty nice. Cyclops is a bit of a letdown with his non-jointed feet.

[Tracker]

You are right about the hobby store. they've got dice, tokens, and lots of warhammer stuff if that is what you're into. Me, I still play Heroclix occassionally but that is about it as far as gaming goes.


I thought also it could be a good place to meet up because the Warroom, another gaming store before it closed, also held meeting for action figure buff ranging from 12" Joes to 1:18 scale stuff and smaller. They made Dioramas, traded, and just talked.

[JCross613]

No, just one of each, plus one unmasked Wolvie which I left. I'll keep an eye out though.

Iceman is pretty nice. Cyclops is a bit of a letdown with his non-jointed feet.


I never made it to WR last night, but I was able to pick up Cyclops, and unmasked Wolverine at Wal Mart in Milledgeville. I left Iceman for now because I was running low on cash and there were some household items I needed to pick up. If you see anything else new, just let me know and I will do the same for you.

TRU Green Shirts and Crimson 5-Packs at perimeter ROSS for 12.99 each, they had some TRU SROs for about 8.99 too.

I found the Blade from Marvel Universe Wave 4 at Target in WR today. Somebody beat me to the Red Hulk and Moon Knight. It may have been Darth Foley, but I'm not sure since he hasn't posted anything. Anyway, I decided halfway to the register that I didn't want Blade, so I left him on the top row of the Magazine section. The Target in Macon still hasn't restocked since Wave 1, so maybe they will put out waves 2,3, and 4 at the same time.

[beechhead]

Hey I was wondering if anyone's see any Sky hawks in or around the Atlanta area.

I haven't been hunting for many, many, many moons until this past weekend (I started Law School last year and it drains every damn ounce of my free time) - I checked out the new Canton Target this morning and bought the one/only Sky(ghost) Hawk - the Moccassin was sill there, but the box was kinda trashed...

Hope all is well folks...Any news as to if we will see another wave of Joes before the movie hits?

Well, I picked up a Blade and a Hobgoblin at WR Target on Saturday, but Rulk and Moon Knight were already gone when I got there so somebody beat us both. :)

[gyrapados]

I have a question for you guys. Does anyone know when the T2 Human Alliance figures are coming out or if they are already out? I REALLY want to get Bumblebee and Sam and possibly Makeala with arcee and skids. But i've read some conflicting stories about when those particular figures are coming out. some people say they should already be out, and others have said they aren't coming out until july or august.

[Tracker]

Oakwood Walmart has their shelves over flowing the Transformers 2 toys. The Star Trek toys are totally gone but I think those may be move down the aisle some as there was a sections that was cleared out.

No new Joes, but I did see Cyclops in the new Marvel line.

[Clicker]

I found a Sting Raider today at the Toys R Us near the Stonecrest Mall. I left it there because the box was a little jacked up. There is a slight cut on the side from where the opened up the box.

[gyrapados]

I got the only wave 7 Blue Beetle I've ever seen yesterday. Now if I can find Big Barda (whom I've never seen) and can convince myself to buy Kid Flash and that AWFUL repainted Aquaman, I can build Atom Smasher.

Nothing new at WR TRU today. Didn't get a chance to check Target but will either today or tomorrow. Nothing at WM in...months, really.

Gyra - Where did you find the Blue Beetle? I have only recently gotten into DCUC, but have quickly realized how difficult they are to find. I love the new Flash figure. I'm trying to find WW.

[JCross613]

No new Marvel Universe in Macon or Milledgeville, but I did find the DC Universe Unmasked Batman Beyond at a Wal-Mart in Macon. Someone had pulled most of the card back off and the mask was just floating around in the package, but he was complete w/ Despero arm. I left him because I didn't want to pay full price for a figure that had been opened. I also saw the DC Universe Cyborg at another Wal-Mart in Macon. It is weird to see wave 4 figures with wave 7 figures.

Bandit,

I found the Blue Beetle in Gainesville at Walmart. I found Mr. Miracle, Killer Moth, and Cyborg there as well. There might have been one or two others from the Atom Smasher line but I can't remember.

I also found Booster Gold, Captain Cold, and some of the wave 4 peeps at Target in Gainesville at Target. I know the last time I was down at the Flowery Branch Target they had Wonder Woman there.

I feel your pain on how difficult they are to find! I've discovered here lately that Targets seem to be the best place to find the DCUC figures or sometimes TRU. So definitely check in those stores. It seems that when I find them I either find very few or a bunch at a time. so when you find them you almost have to go ahead and get what you are looking for since you may not see it again.

Aside from the WW is there anybody else in particular you are looking for?

[gyrapados]

Oh and since nobody answered it before when I asked, does anyone know when the Transformers Human Alliance figures come out (the ones with their human counterparts like Bumblebee and Sam)?

I've heard conflicting reports; some say they are already out but some say that they won't be out until July or August. Anybody know or know where I can find out? Thanks.

Yeah, I've seen a lot of folks over on TNI saying they've found these two at WM lately. It seems that Mattel is re-packing them in with some of the wave 7 cases.

Why they can't do that with the impossible-to-find wave 5 is beyond me.

Checked WR Target today, nothing new.

[darthfoley]

Also, just discovered that Target.com has wave 7 of DCUC up for sale, with free shipping on orders of 50.00 or more. Beetle, Wonder Woman, Booster, Flash, etc.

dc universe : Target Search Results (http://www.target.com/gp/search/177-3031409-4798908?field-keywords=dc+universe&url=index%3Dtarget%26search-alias%3Dtgt-index&ref=sr_bx_1_1&x=0&y=0)

Hope that helps some of you guys who are still looking for these. I'm champing at the bit for wave 8 to hurry up and hit.

Mostly just WW right now. Maybe Cyborg if I come across him. Would love to find Nightwing and Deathstroke, but I won't pay inflated prices for them and know they have come and gone for the most part. I called a few Targets in my area this morning and no one claimed that had WW, but I'll keep checking them and Walmart. Sounds like now is the time to find them before they disappear again.

[darthfoley]

Keep in mind that the 'big guns' of the DC Universe are now being repacked in pretty much every wave, under the 'Worlds Greatest Super Heroes' tag. Wonder Woman is a repack in some case assortments of Wave 7, and will probably show up again very soon in another wave.

[madcrazyloco]

anybody in metro atlanta find wave 4 MU, looking to grab red hulk for my friend's birthday coming up.

[Bandit]

Tried several WMs and Targets yesterday and no sign of DCUC wave 4 or 7. I'm keeping an eye out. If you see any in NW GA please post.

Did pick up a wave 6 Superman (normal suit). Would only need to buy Mr. Miracle and Killer Moth to get Kalibak completed, but don't know if its worth the $20.

[gyrapados]

Well, I'd say if you like the characters and actually want them, you could buy them. I don't buy characters I don't want just to get the build a figure peeps. Needless to say I have quite a few BAF guys that are incomplete.

Another way of looking at it is, do you already have a Mr. Miracle or Killer Moth (though it is from a different line)? If so then do you want mulitiples of them?

A friend of mine buys up the whole lines to build figures and then will sometimes try to sell the figures on ebay that he doesn't want and keep the BAF parts. Thanks to his compulsiveness I will be getting a wave 6 Shazam that I never could find for less than retail. :)

Just out of curiosity where did you find the wave 6 Supes?

Hey Bandit, I have a spare Kalibak leg that I can send you if you want. I have no need for it since I completed Kalibak already, and got this one as an extra when I got Dr. Impossible (same piece that came with Mr. Miracle). Shoot me a PM if you need it.

I saw Mr. Miracle today, I thought someone on hear needed him.
Let me know if you still want it and I'll let you know where you can grab him.

[gyrapados]

well I didn't find much today. for DCUC I found Booster Gold, Dr. Impossible, Captain Cold and Booster Gold at Gainesville Target.
I did find some of the new NECA T2 toys today. they had 3-4 of the "Man or Machine" Arnold, one of the "something Escape" Arnolds (from where he goes in to break Sarah Connor out of the mental hospital) and one of the t-800 Endoskeletons. I ended up getting the endoskeleton since i figure it will be harder to find than the others, plus I didn't like the fact that the Arnold figures had no leg articulation (even though he looks awesome!). I may wait and get that one later or try and pick up the final confrontation one that has a gattling gun.

you just don't realize how crappy the Playmates T-Rips are until you hold it up against the NECA endoskeleton. Wow, what a difference! Especially in the face. the detail is practically missing from Playmates' version in comparison.

So the other T2 figures are still at the Buford TRU if anyone wants/needs them. :)

[Bandit]

Just out of curiosity where did you find the wave 6 Supes?

Found him at a Kroger. That's where I've been able catch up with the DCUC for the most part. Found a Sinestro Corps variant Sinestro for $6 a few weeks ago at one. I was so shocked to see that one "in the wild."

Congrats on a super great deal on the Sinestro! He is actually one of the figures I missed from that wave since all I ever found was one of the regular versions that I had picked up for a friend. Man I didn't even realize Kroger carried DCUC stuff. I may have to start checking them out. Do the ones you've been getting your super hero stuff from having anything else worthwhile?

[Bandit]

They've had waves 1 and 6 for the most part. They had a clearance a few weeks ago that is now over. All DCUC was $6. Wave 7 has been trickling in, but slowly. I've seen WGH Robin, WGH Firestorm, Booster Gold, Captain Cold, Ocean Warrior Aquaman, and heard that Flash was at a couple. I check them fairly regularly so I'll let you know if something new and exciting turns up. No signs yet of Kid Flash, Blue Beetle, or wave 8 yet.

[Tracker]

Star Trek figures are back at the Oakwood Walmart. They are on the right side aisle opposite the Joes. They are still $6.47 :(

[Ottodestruct]

looking for Blue beetle and flash . have all of 7 except for those 2.
also looking for wave 4 Wonder Woman withe the Despero piece and a Batman Beyond with piece.
anyone seen these anywhere?

[darthfoley]

The TRU here in WR is swimming in Kid Flash and Captain Cold (4 each at last count), plus 2 Big Bardas. If anybody needs one let me know and I'll hook you up at cost + shipping.

Kroger is weird. I got my TOD Indy figures there and my closest one currently has an OW Aquaman and a WGSH Firestorm hanging out (plus I got Etrigan and Red Tornado for 5 bucks each around XMas); they never had anything in between one case of wave 1 and one case of wave 7B that I saw.

[Tracker]

Gainesville Walmart has lowered the price of there Star Trek figures down to $4.97 and the 6" ones down to $6.97. I did not see a price on the Enterprise so i don't know if it's been reduce in cost.


No new Joe stuff

[gyrapados]

Not really a sightings but I am looking for the BAF Atom Smasher parts. I can't find a Big Barda at all but at the least I need the atom smasher arms that come with her and Kid Flash. I also need the torso. I have a bunch of parts from other BAFs, both Marvel and DC such as Kalibak's right arm and Red Hulk's head. if anybody can help me out, let me know. I will try to put up a list of parts I have or if you have anything I am looking for and need a part just ask and I might have it.

oh and has anybody ever seen an Eel? I have yet to see one.

[JCross613]

I finally found MU wave 4 at the Wal-Mart on Gray Hwy in Macon. I picked up the Red Hulk. I left Union Jack, Hobgoblin, and the Spiderman variant. Somebody had already picked up the Moon Knight and Blade. Now if I could only find the Iron Fist and Gray Hulk from wave 2.

[darthfoley]

Well, Iron Fist and grey Hulk are supposed to be included in wave 5 cases, so hopefully they'll show up again.

Nothing new at WR Target or TRU today. TRU got in a case of wave 3 MU, both Ms Marvels were there, but nothing else of note.

found Beetle today at the walmart in austell. they had a couple of the sonic arm cyborgs and random wave 6 stuff . still need Flash , but at least I can Build Atom Smasher.

I seen some new marvel figure at the oakwood walmart

Basically the one in this picture minus Capt America and The Hulk

Went to 2 local WMs in the last 24 hours and no sightings of DCUC wave 4 or 7. Called another this morning and nothing. What gives?

Does anyone know where to preorder the Assault on Cobra Island sets? I didn't even think that you could yet, but people are beginning to receive them.

[madcrazyloco]

I haven't heard anything about those 7 packs yet, but I have seen a lot of pics that people have been posting.

Quite possible that those two WM's don't carry DCUC. I have 5 WMs that I check on a regular basis and only two of them carry DCUC and DCIH.

And given that wave 10 will be another WM exclusive wave, this time including Power Girl and The Joker...let's just say I'm a little nervous about getting my hands on them (and I never saw any of the last WM exclusive wave...at that point none of my local 5 stores carried DCUC).

The ones I visited to carry them, just haven't gotten anything new yet. I'll keep checking. Just gets frustrating as I know everyone here can relate to.

[darthfoley]

Oh, absolutely. My two closest WM's (unfortunately, not the two that carry the DC stuff) have been dry since XMas more or less. It's been TRU and Target or nothing around here.

Oh my dear gravy, Power Girl is going to be in the walmart exclusive wave? I had not heard this and like you this concerns me GREATLY since the only Walmart exclusive wave 5 figure I EVER saw anywhere was the Riddler. The Walmart in Buford had TONS of the Riddler but no one else from that wave! that was so strange.

Mean Machine, I did find some clearanced Joes today at Flowery Branch and Gainesville Target. got my first Crimson Guard figure today for $5.22 (this was the total with tax). Pretty good buy I thought.
The planes were discounted to $18 at Flowery Branch target (only had the repaints) but were not at Gainesville. FB Target had two resolute packs for $17.48 if I remember right. they had a Firebat for $10.48 and both stores had CPs for $9.02. if the CPs were a little less I might pick up a viper/IG pack. still not sold on it.



and Bandit, I found the DCUC Wonder Woman today. I didn't buy it for you since I didn't know if you wanted the version that came with the Despero piece or the one that comes with a stand. The one today had a stand and no Despero part. But it is in Flowery Branch Target.

All the DCUC figures I can find lately are the awful wave 7 Aquaman (who I still don't want to have to buy to get Atom Smasher's torso), Captain Cold and a few oddities from wave 2.

STILL need a wave 7 Big Barda which I cannot find!!


Gainesville Target has Dr. Impossible, Captain Cold and Booster Gold.

Appreciate the thought. I'm not worried about the C&C piece since I don't have any intention to build Despero. Glad to hear that WW in continuing to show up at Target, so I will make sure my searches continue to include those. I'm glad that other parts of the state have these showing up. Hopefully, it is just a matter of time before NW Georgia begins to see an influx. I have 3-4 Targets and 3 WMs (that carry DCUC) within 20 minutes of where I live, so I have to imagine that the odds are in my favor.

Around here there are only a few stores in NE GA that carry the DCUC stuff and it's pretty spotty at best. I really think you're going to be able to find the WW soon since she does keep popping up. Seems like you've got plenty of places to keep checking too.

[darthfoley]

I would think your best bet for WW at this point will be Target. I don't know about the NW or NE parts of the state, but here in Mid-GA wave 7A/B hit Wal-Mart quite some time ago, with little in the way of restocks since they first showed up.

In all honesty, I'm worried about how long wave 8 seems to be taking to show up at retail, especially since wave 9 is due next month on MattyCollector according to their latest Q&A responses.

And yeah, Wave 10 being another WM only wave is likely to be a headache. Mattel swears up and down that distribution will be better this time, so I guess we'll see. Joker is a big name character to be stuck in a wave with potentially crappy distribution. I haven't seen a confirmed list for wave 10 outside of those two...supposedly a re-released DCSH Man-Bat at least, maybe Static, Forager, Beast Boy or Robotman. Guess we'll find out in a few weeks.

I'm not even thinking about series 8 at this point since I'm still trying to find peeps from wave 7! I am a HUGE JSA fan though, so there are definitely some people I want from that wave. Which is what concerns me even more about Power Girl's inclusion in wave 10. I agree that Joker is a marquee character to be in any set, but PG is a big name in my mind too so I REALLY hope the distribution is a LOT better this time.

I have basically figured out that,with this wave aside, Target is the place to look for DC stuff. Walmart seems uninterested in it with a few rare exceptions and even when they get stuff it is so sporadic.

You know, I often wonder if instead of making the DC folks exclusive to any store, why don't they just sell them through Matty Collector? they're already selling other stuff through their site so why not just do that. wouldn't that be easier?

[Mean Machine]

Think I will check the Flowery Branch Target today. I've taken a break from collecting other than a few Marvel Universe figures. What are you guys feelings on the ROC figures coming out. I think they look great and I actually like the new take on some
of the characters.

I agree on Power Girl, to me she is a 'must have' figure. Joker though...that's taking a big chance on Mattel's part in my opinion. They've already hurt their rep with fans a lot with the Gleek issue, and the JLU bailout request, and the website issues with MOTUC, etc. If a large number of fans can't get their Joker figure for this line, Mattel is in for an earful.

I don't know about Target. My local stores are months behind Wal-Mart in getting the latest waves, and still have some figures hanging around from wave 2. My local Targets have always been pretty bad with stuff, though, so maybe I just have bad luck in the toy managers at my stores.

And according to Mattel, beginning with wave 9 (Wildcat, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Mantis, Guardian, Deadshot, Black Adam, Chemo C&C) supposedly next month, the DCUC will be available on MattyCollector. We'll see.

The way you describe your targets are how our walmarts are here. How ironic.

I agree that if they screw up the distribution that all the Batman and Arkham fans will have one more coniption fit. (of course that's how I'll feel concerning Power Girl).

I hope you are right about series 9 being on mattycollector. if so it will make collecting the DC figures SOOOO much easier. I actually gave up trying to even find them for a while and started getting stuff from other lines since it became a waste of time to try to get anything DC.

Gotta agree with this..even though some like the Pit Guard figure look awesome, I can't justify army building them at around $8 a figure. Even w/ good accessories, at that size the price just doesn't make sense.

[Bandit]

Somewhat sad, but funny story today. So I checked a couple places at lunch today. Thought about checking TRU but remembered that the last time I called it they didn't have anything, so I didn't bother. After work, I had reason to be near the TRU again, so I figured what the hell. I called the number in my phone and when the guy answered, it was a different TRU than the one I thought I was calling! Now I have called this number several times before and was never the wiser. Anyways they gave me the number for the TRU that I wanted. I called it and asked if they had DCUC. Lo and behold and to get to the point - I now have a WGH version of WW. This TRU (Kennesaw) had remnants of wave 7. They still had Booster, 2 Blue Beetles, WGH Firestorm and a Capt Cold when I left. Just imagine if I had checked that TRU at lunchtime (and all the checks I did before). Happy hunting!

I can justify Pit Command if the price of the figs is $6.99 like current figures.

Awesome Bandit, glad you found her!

[gyrapados]

I can justify Pit Command if the price of the figs is $6.99 like current figures.

I've been hearing through various post here on the tank that the price might be 7.99. Guess that extra dollar is needed for all those spring loaded weapons. lol.

actually that is another reason why I'm only planning on getting a few peeps that I really want like the Baroness and Storm Shadow figures. the pit generic soldier i'll probably get since my daughter wants one and you really do get a LOT of accessories with that one.

oh and the Flowery Branch Target has there Joes on clearance too and had some of the repaint planes marked down there too.

[brock Samson]

Can't wait for the intown targets to hit their clearance. This is the last joes I'll be buying for a while till ROC goes down in flames and wave 14 hits. That's if ROC doesn't drag down the anniversary line with it.

[gyrapados]

This is the last joes I'll be buying for a while till ROC goes down in flames and wave 14 hits. That's if ROC doesn't drag down the anniversary line with it.

I actually think the figures are going to do well. Yeah the spring loaded weapons are goofy to me. But to kids they will be great. and if those same kids will pick up the ROC line (and you know adults are going to be buying them too) then the anniversary line has a future. And if you think about it, back in the day, we had some spring loaded weapons in the original line too so it's not like it's an original concept (now whether it's a good idea or not, well you have to form your own opinions about that).

Part of the problem too if Joe's success is to be judged by sales, is that there have been next to no product to even buy since stores haven't been doing a great job of stocking anything worthwhile for a LONG time. So how can you make sales if you don't put product out to be bought?

[Tracker]

Yea Joes sell out faster than other toys on the aisle,when they stock them, the only expectation was wave 7, which may have cased a slow down at stores like Walmart.

[gyrapados]

The Target in Buford did not have Joe stuff clearanced. If you need the jets then you need to hit up the Super Target in Duluth. they have all the jets, originals and repaints, on clearance plus they had Duke, Roadblock, Gung Ho,Scarlett, and a lot of Mutt and Junkyard on clearance there as well.

[darthfoley]

Hit a couple stores in Macon today. The Macon Target is so sorry it actually makes the WR store look like toy central.

The Zebulon WM had gotten at least a case of MU wave 4, but only a Blade was left. They also had two sonic-arm Cyborgs, a Hawkman, and several of the usual DCUC wave 7 warmers.

[brock Samson]

I'm in Florida for work till Thursday. I'll check some stores if time permits. All I want are the 3 new 5 packs and a full set of 4 jets. 50% or more will earn my dollars! I've got to get the dpci's for all of them.

[Mean Machine]

Does anyone know if the Flowery Branch Target has any of the jets left? I haven't had the chance to check it out and didn't want to waste the trip if they were already sold out. Thanks in advance

Yea, the Target in Macon just sucks. They haven't restocked MU since they got in the first wave. All they have is that same Punisher that has been there for months. Maybe if I take it and hide it somewhere they will put out new stock. I went back to the Wal-Mart on Gray Hwy to pick up Union Jack and Hobgoblin, but they were gone. I saw the Blade on Zebulon, but I passed on him once again.

[Bandit]

This isn't really a sighting topic, but thought I would throw this out there. The family's gone for a few days and I thought I would take the opportunity to catch a movie. Should I go see X-Men: Origins or Terminator Salvation?

[TEMPLAR BAGGINS]

Stopped by the Marshall's in Hiram this afternoon and picked one up. They had another, but just as I had decided to pick the other one up (to maybe help a fellow tanker) a tank lurker nabbed the other.

They had 2 Serpentors sets as well, and both Dustys had their harnesses.

[Bandit]

Found DCU Cyborg at a walmart and a kroger today in Acworth. Stores also had unmasked Batman Beyond. No GIJoe clearances up here yet.

to let you know as of this earlier this afternoon, Flowery branch had multiples of the planes and they were clearances.

[Tracker]

What figs did they have? i have been out there since the fig went on clearance. They where still 6.99 when i was there last

Didn't have any idea that the KB-exclusive Cyborg did not come with a right hand. In the off-chance some one has a right hand to spare, please let me know. Thanks!

[Jay49]

Has anyone spotted any of the 5 packs at ANY Ross in the Atlanta area lately? I've been hitting them up constantly and all I'm seeing is the occasional 3 pack or DVD pack. I'm not sure if someone else is swiping them or if the Ross stores around here aren't getting them, but I'm about ready to give up.

I was at a Ross last night and they had one DVD Pack #1, one Joe Troop-Builder 5-pack, and one opened air SRO set. This was in Acworth by the Super Target. I'm trying to find a DVD set #4 (or whichever had Quick Kick), but only if I found it for $12.49.

The only DVD pack I've seen is the first one @ $14.99. Have yet to see any Crimson Guard or Joe Troop Builders. Frustrating.

I've seen the above ones at the Ross near Perimeter Mall...kinda wanted to pick up an extra airset, but I don't want another wild bill...lol.

Also I'm just curious - have any of you had any luck finding Para-Vipers or Eels around North Fulton? I have yet to see a single one in stores. Hunting isn't as much fun when you NEVER find what you're looking for.

I was at the Marshalls at Mall of Georgia last night - I found a Best of the 80s there. They only had one so I snagged it, but if you're still looking for one you might try checking there in a few days - I hear they get shipments on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Good hunting.

[Bandit]

Has anyone else found that with the pyramid of Darkness DVD pack that Major Bludd is missing his belt? The one I recently found is, but I don't know how common this is.

[brock Samson]

Found dvd packs 3 and 4 at the Marshall's off Sidney Marcus. They're still there. I've seen TRU wave 2 3 packs consistently at Ross stores. I've only seen two FF and one CG 5 pack at Ross. Only 30% off so far at the targets I've been to. I'm waiting for 50% and then I'll buy.

Only want the Joe/cobra/resolute 5 packs and the jet repaints. If anyone sees 50% on those, pick them up! I'll reimburse or trade out for what you're looking for.

[Baron Samedi]

All of the DVD packs (except "Greatest Battles") are in stock at Marshall's. Yes, the "Best of the 80's".

[Ottodestruct]

the target at campcreek has 2 conquests as of last night.

check em out.

[darthfoley]

WR Target finally put the clearance on...too bad they have nothing of interest.

[jksonny]

Today, at the TRU in Duluth, I spotted several Rise of Cobra offerings. Of the basic line, they had the Desert Duke, Destro, Baroness, Storm Shadow and a couple of others. They also had two 12 inch Electronic Snake Eyes and one 12 inch Electronic Storm Shadow.

Even though I already have most of the basic figures via ebay, I decided to purchase a couple just for the hell of it. However, when the items were scanned, the TRU worker told me that they could not be purchased until July 4th. As I left, I heard the guy paging someone and ordering them to pull the rest of the items from the shelves.

The basic figures did not have a price on them and there was no price above the pegs. The 12 inch figures were on a shelf above a sticker indicating $22.99 but as they were not supposed to be on display at all, I'm not sure that price is accurate.

[brock Samson]

Has anyone seen the joe 5 pack on clearance at target? I only see the resolute and cobra packs. LMK where you've seen one or pick it up and I'll reimburse. I can trade a cobra pack if you're looking for one. Doubt anyone can't find the resolute but I could trade one of those too.

[gyrapados]

about a week or so ago I saw the Joe pack on clearance at the Duluth Target. Hope that helps.

[Godzilla]

I found the joe 5 pack at MoG Target.

[darthfoley]

Nothing new at WR TRU today, or at Target this past Tuesday.

[DarkHelmet]

Found the first wave of Rise of Cobra at TRU in Alpharetta today at lunch. As I was leaving, they were pulling the items off of the shelves. See the news forum for some pics of my find and score.

[Tracker]

I seen the news thread awesome!

[DarkHelmet]

Went to 2 Targets today, and found...crap again. Nothing new. Most stores have pretty much had the same stock for months now. Target on Roswell Rd just inside I-285 has a Sharc, a Vamp, no planes, DVD 1 and 2 as usual, 2 comic packs, and about 6 singles, all common from wave 11 and 12. Super Target on Abernathy Rd. has some DVD packs, several planes, the same common singles from wave 11 and 12, and 3 comic packs. No smaller vehicles there at all.

[alcoholic ewok]

saw most of the new marvel 3.75" wave saturday except the red hulk (i know, figures...haven't ever seen a gray one on shelves either)

anyone else waiting on the "old" joes to get even further on clearance? wtf is the holdup with target and wal-mart not doing this faster? i'm ready for some planes to get clearanced even more.

and the roswell rd. target inside 285 has planes, they're just on an endcap and not in the main joes section, similar to what the holcombe bridge rd target has done...well, they have ones in the joe section too.

[JCross613]

The Wal-Mart in Milledgeville got in a case of MU Wave 4. I was finally able to pick up a Moon Knight and Union Jack. I wanted another Red Hulk, but he was already gone. I left a Hobgoblin and Blade. No Joes on clearance in Macon or Milledgeville. The Target in Macon hasn't restocked anything in 4 or 5 months.

[Bandit]

Haven't seen any ROC figures yet. I was at a WM last night where they had a palette with the Snake Eyes role play, but no cases of figures. Will post once I find them. I'm really only interested in 4-5 from the first two waves.

On a TF note, has anyone seen the Human Alliance Bumblebee in GA?

This just in: the Flowery Branch Target has ROC vehicles, sadly as one collector put it" there is no Roc Figure yet but... "as he finished" , there is hope that the figures will be in soon.

But seriously now they are $15.99 for a single small vehicle that is a bit much

Someone in the NC thread posted this morning that he found ROC figs and vehicles. Pics were posted as well. I might try and make a couple phone calls.

So am I hearing correctly that the Rockslide will cost $15.99?

[gyrapados]

So how much is the Steel Crusher going to cost? Does anyone know?

[Black Rose]

I found a Greenshirt TRU pack at Ross today. It was the only one priced at $12.99 outside of that they had nothing else G.I. Joe related. This was the Acworth location in Cobb County. Sorry forgot to mention that I did buy it.

[Tracker]

all $15.99

mole pod

rock slide

snake trax atv

armored panther

nope I haven't seen any listing for it yet

[Mean Machine]

Bought the snake trax and armored panther FB Target. I personally feel guilty for paying $15.99 for small vehicles,
but I am weak when it comes to Joes. Sgt Thunderblast is a pretty cool figure

[darthfoley]

Saw the TF: Human Alliance Bumblebee at KMart in WR today...can't remember who was looking for it, but might wanna check your local KMart.

Nothing worth mentioning, Joe or MU related, in the WR area today.

[brock Samson]

At the druid hills target I saw a movie hummer with moto viper and the airship with firefly. At 24.99 they didn't look very appealing but I did pick up a rattler and conquest at 50% off. Two figures and planes for the same price as the movie vehicles made for an easy decision. Still haven't found a gijoe and cobra 5 pack, just resolute packs =(. I guess I've got to drive outside the perimeter =P.

[Mean Machine]

I had Wave 1 in my cart at the Athens WM. Got to the register and was denied. The manager came over and told me they couldn't sell the until the release date. They look a lot better in person. I'm still not sold on Destro

[yoyoyojoe]

Hello Y'all, Long time no see. I went to the Super Target in Duluth this afternoon and they had 1 Cobra gunship with FF and a Cobra 4WD truck (I didn't check the exact name). I did a price check on both and they showed 24.99 each plus tax! #@$&%!!! Damn Hasblown! I am gonna pass on the vehicles and I will be only getting a few figures from the movie line.

[Fierce Krypton]

If I go to a walmart tonight at 12 will they be able to get ROC from the back for me and sell it to me?

[gyrapados]

TRU in Buford is your hook up for ROC stuff.
I was there at 9 AM this morning and grabbed a Steel Crusher and Baroness. They had:

6 Night Ravens
3-4 Gunships
2-3 Steel Crushers
all the smaller vehicles x 2-3 each

TRU exclusive Firefly x6
TRU exclusive Barbeque x6

Sgt Stone
Cover Girl
Baroness
Storm Shadow x3-4
Destro x 3-4
Desert ambush Duke x3
Shipwreck
Heavy Duty
Ripcord in accelerator suit
Scarlet in blue army fatigues
Snake Eyes x 3-4
3 Neo Vipers

they had 3 Pits as well and tons of other stuff. I didn't get the cover girl cuz once I saw her in person I was really disappointed. Her head sculpt is UGLY. Didn't find the paris pursuit snake eyes or paris pursuit Storm Shadow which were my other main wants. I almost picked up the TRU exclusive Firefly. He comes with a ton of gear and looked really cool, but i held off on buying him so I could see if I found the other ones I really wanted anywhere else (budget is kinda tight right now). I may try to get him later.

It was so awesome though since my daughter went with me and we got to look through everything they had as they put it out. The associate that helped me was super cool and helpful and I actually talked with her and another worker about Joes and they thought it was cool that I was there getting toys with my daughter. One even told me that when she was growing up her Barbie dolls didn't need Ken: they had GI Joe. You gotta love that! lol.

[Mean Machine]

He said the 10th. They were changing around their toy dept and I found them in two different spots. I have a feeling there are going to be an abundance of figures whenever ther release date is

[Tracker]

I've not been out to check around town, but then again I feel I wouldn't find anything here in g'ville anyway. I was surprised to find the vehicles last week at FB Target, but mostly i think it will two months before we see any new figures here; at least that how I feel about. I'm hoping I'm wrong.

[Tomahawk]

hey hardmaster, i got all your 711 roc cups...ill bring them 2 u when i come back 2 ga

[TEMPLAR BAGGINS]

I left for vacation (southern Indiana) back on Sunday and as of then, we hadn't even gotten ONE case of RoC in at my Walmart. Called a friend who works there lastnight and he said he still hadn't seen a case. Wierd.

Stopped by a TRU this morning though and checked out the RoC stuff there. My overall feeling for the toys? Eh. Almost picked up Destro and Covergirl for customs but couldn't bring myself to pay $7.99 for two figures that were just going to be used for customs. Want to use Destro for a better articulated Indiana Jones officer and Covergirl for part of my Covergirl custom. And as many have said, Covergirl's face looks VERY bad. Thought about using a Princess Leia head and Covergirl's hair. Just a thought.

I left TRU feeling like I had turned my back on my beloved GI Joe. I feel horible for that. Anyone else feel that way?

[jezones]

went to 3 toys r us, cobb prky had everthing out, but no cover girl or stone. i did get breaker and heavy duty. went to the barret prky one and they had nothing out. then went to buckhead and the lady was puting stuff out. i managed to get cover girl and stone there. i think she had just started putting stuff out cause there wasnt much. the pit box is huge, the night raven box is tiny for the price.

[Fierce Krypton]

TRU on cobb has destro, snake, ss, and Duke. No baroness or covergirl.

Man, I went to TRU on Barrett PKY and Target...They are all out. Can't find them at Target in woodstock either...I guess I'll try the target on cobb pky...probably nothing left to get.

[brock Samson]

Target in little 5 had an end cap full of product. I was tempted to buy the paris pursuit SE and Reactive armor Scarlett which impressed me. The Scarlett has a little holster that holds her crossbow disassembled and came with a decent zip line accessory that looks like a backpack. Not sure why she comes with two pistols. Why don't they give SE a fricken holster! I'm just going to hold out to get these on clearance in three months.

[Tracker]

and if you have any "NCM" Rifles from Marauder "Gun-Runners" they fit perfectly in Reactive armor Scarlett hands and she look good carrying too :)

Nothing new Joe related at WR TRU as of 1pm today. Guess they didn't get the memo.

They did get a case of BNB wave 7, but the Bret Hart was already gone.

[CobraElite]

The Target at Dallas Hwy and Barrett Pky has a nice selection of ROC stuff. I've been having a hard time finding it at any of the other location in cobb.

[brock Samson]

Wow, the later waves are showing up in some places with some of the more interesting figs like flash and agent helix. Keep a lookout for them. I'm forgetting there's some decent 25th line mixed in, like heavy metal with the Rhino, Thunder with the Armadillo, etc.

[TEMPLAR BAGGINS]

Guess I was laying down somewhere napping when this was discussed, but is Helix a Target exclusive?

[alcoholic ewok]

Found the ROC figures this evening at Haynes Bridge Rd Target inbetween Roswell & Norcross.

What I didn't see were some of the later wave stuff like Helix, etc. but they did have plenty of the first few waves/assortments including:

Ship Wreck
Ice Viper (his gun has holes to peg to him, but nowhere for it to go)
both versions of Heavy Duty
the armored Ripcord & Duke
Sgt. Stone
regular & paris pursuit versions of snakes & storm shadow
cobra commander (tempting to pick him up)
the neo viper w/ grappling hook backpack
the scarlett w/ grappling hook
zartan (and his KNIFE. Yeah, with a KNIFE!..for some reason I keep imagining him saying it like the moppets from venture bros. lol), deep six, and the camo version of either cover girl or scarlett (didn't really pay attention to those).

oh, and the smaller vehicles & the pit (didn't see the night raven :( ).

kind of let down b/c the back of the all white hooded storm shadow showed baroness & destro, but didn't see them on the shelves.

[Godzilla]

John's Creek Super target had heavy duty in both accelerator outfit and normal outfit, baroness, pulled back hair scarlett, Breaker, and Ripcord in accelerator uniform. I bought HD in accelerator uniform and Breaker.

I am gonna hit the duluth target and TRU unless someone already hit it. Hoping to see if the firefly vs greenshirts are clearanced too. I am looking for the Paris pursuit Stormy and SS. Also looking for the Scarlett desert ambush, PITT commandos and Duke in desert fatigues. Has anyone seen the Rampage in the targets?

[Godzilla]

TRU at Gwinnett Place was picked clean. See ripcord, heavy duty, shipwreck, and breaker. Target at Gwinnett Place had tons of Joes. Just wave 1 and wave 2. Wave 3 seems to be missing... I assume scarlett in desert ambush, baroness in matrix like outfit, paris pursuit SE and SS are in Wave 3. I picked up desert ambush Duke, Cover girl, and Ripcord.

I was there on Friday but they didn't have any ROC stuff out. I'm interested to see if they have anything or not. I'm really interested to see what Walmart puts out this weekend. Just out of curiosity does anyone know how much the ROC figures will be at wall world? will it be the same as TRU, cheaper, more expensive? Also how much are the ROC joes at Target?

[Tracker]

The ROC Joes are 7.99 at Target. another thread I read said the ROC Joes at Walmart might be priced at $7.88 which makes since with it being Walmart.

Has Baroness or Desert Ambush Duke been found at Targets? I was at one on Sunday but didn't see them. Also, is the Reactive Armor Ripcord out now or is it just the Accelerator Suit one?

The ROC Joes are 7.99 at Target. another thread I read said the ROC Joes at Walmart might be priced at $7.88 which makes since with it being Walmart.

I hoping they stock the 2 packs this weekend. If they stock this weekend that is.

Thanks for the info Tracker.
I think Walmart will stock this weekend. But I don't know if the 2 packs will be out now or closer to the movie release (or possibly even after it hits the theatre).
Good thing is we'll find out in a few days.

Has anyone been to the Flowery Branch Target on Spout Springs Rd yet?

I haven't been since last Thursday. I was thinking about going today if I can find the time. Anyone else check the G'Ville or FB Target?

If you are looking for ROC figures and vehciles, the Target on Cobb Parkway is where you need to go. They have tons of the stuff. Lots of Ice Vipers too.
