Someone over at Joesightings reported finding Armored Cobra Commander/Torpedo/Rock-n-Roll at the Cartersville Walmart a day or two ago (not terribly far from my house, oddly enough)...checked it out this morning and only a lowly Cobra air trooper left...

Found Wave 6 today at the Wal Mart in Suwanee. I only saw one case though and I bought the Battle Armor CC, Rock N Roll, and Torpedo. Also, as of yesterday, the Target in Buford had all of the Wave 3 comic packs in stock except for the twins pack as well as a mix of Waves 4 and 5 (no Flash, Destros, Snow Job, or SS).

Checked the West Cobb Target yesterday - had 'em look up the DPCI and they have yet to hit anywhere in the metro area according to the incredibly nice CSR girl...someone mentioned they are supposedly street dated until 4/13, but this hasn't seemed to stop the left coast....

I called the Target in Savannah and in Brunswick Thursday and Friday. Neither had them. When I called Thursday and asked for the toy department I was told the number was active .When I called Friday and had customer service look it up neither store could find it on the first try. The one in Savannah looked it up under clearance items and it worked but they came up $10 and sold out which I find very unlikely. I will try again in a few days. If they weren't so far away I would just go check myself.

Walked into the Target in Kennesaw, ran the DCPI, a helpful employee picked a case outta the back for me...the $5 coupon still works as well...the guy said there were plenty of cases there as well, but didn't mention the street date (nor did I see it on the case - he opened it right in front of me)....I am pretty sure I flashed back to 1985....

I called three Target's today and the third had them in the back. For some reason they didn't come up on their scanner guns but the person I talked to went into the back and pulled them. He has them waiting up front for me to pickup tomorrow. The only bad thing is I have to drive 100+ miles to get them and it is at a Target I haven't been to yet. Time to Google Map this place.

at least a week or two ago i stopped in midweek at the newer super walmart on cobb pkwy and it was loaded down with them too. i guess the area distribution center is getting rid of them before wave 7 comes in.

nice of them to finally care.

So is anyone else in the greater Atlanta area feeling a bit bummed about how no one seems to have found any wave 7 figures and yet everywhere else in the country these figures are being found????


Just finished a long day of hunting and after going to more stores than you can count on two hands and not a single indication that wave 7 is out in North Atlanta. Hit Wally worlds, TRUs, targets and super target pratically every possible store between Buford to Lawrenceville to Duluth and even out in Stone MT. Nothing. Even the Walmarts I hit tonite after staring at the shipments on palettes nothing, tons of Ironman, HLK, Indiana Jones, and Batman but NO WAVE 7 JOES.

If you are a troop builder looking for armies North Atlanta is the place to go. There are Joes to be found just not wave 7.

VIPER: Check Target on Scenic Highway and Ronald Reagan in snellville. Had all three figures there as of yesterday.

Hitting a few more stores tomorrow, fingers crossed.

Hi Madcrazyloco & welcome to the Tank. I'm feeling you on being bummed out - It seems like this wave is showing up everywhere but our area. Let's keep our fingers crossed & hope we find something this weekend.

hit 6 wallys this morning and one target. No wave 7 to be seen, i probably would have been better off driving to tennessee, why oh why does Georgia have the slowest distribution, its always the same transformers, joes, starwars its always the same story

madcrazyloco
05-03-2008, 10:33 AM
Georgia really is so random with it distribution. I have a friend in DC and we got the wave 2 revision before he saw any but when it came to wave 5, I never saw a single one on the shelf until wave 6 came out and I still have never seen flash on the peg, lucky for me my mother did and scooped it up in Florida for me.

Heading out in just a few but something tells me I may all ready be late.

Any body been to the TRU and Target in Tucker right off of 285 today???

I guess I must be one of the luckier Joe fans in Georgia because I found a whole case of wave 7 Thursday. I found them here in Baxley. I would have thought that since I had them everyone else in Georgia would have had them at least 2 or 3 days before me. When I went to see Iron Man last night I checked another Wal-Mart about 45 miles away but no luck. Hopefully more will show up around me soon.

Yeah, that Walmart had around 75 Joes a few weeks ago. I know because I went the morning they were put out. There were so many that they spilled over into the CORPS single figure pegs!

If it is anything like Baxley they should get shipments in Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (I think those are the days). Tuesday and Thursday seem to be the week days they put figures out but they may put them out any day of the week. I found wave 4 (only got Duke and Air Trooper since I don't usually collect carded), and wave 7 on a Thursday (different days of course) and wave 6 on a Friday.

I didn't know there was a collector in Brunswick. I don't head up that way very often though. Sometimes I have to go to get my oil changed at the dealership or to find Target exclusives (your Target is the closest to Baxley that I know of). Then again sometimes I head up there just to be looking since I like Target and have decent luck when I head up there.

The Walmart I work at got in 3 cases of wave 7 lastnight. BTW, I work at the Super Walmart on Cobb Pkwy in Acworth; not the new one by Hwy 92, the older one 3 miles south of it. I picked up 2 Vipers, Wild Bill and a HISS driver, but there was still plenty left. Here's what was left when I left work at 7:45 theis morning:

Snake Eyes = 4
Duke = 2
Wild Bill = 1
Spirit = 2
HISS driver = 1
Viper = 2

I also checked before I left and the Chastain Meadows (Town Center Mall) Walmart got in one case lastnight as well. The Hiram and Dallas stores are each getting one case a store tonight too. The Dallas store tends to stock early, so you might want to show up early.


I am now a happy panda, eagerly awaiting wave 8! :D I'll still pick up some more Vipers though; I think 10 will be my limit. I could have gotten the other 2 before I left work, but I wanted to give someone else a chance to shout for joy!

SCORE.
Wave 8 and Wave 4 Comic packs are in Atlanta area.
Super Walmart off of GA20 in Buford had one case of wave 8 on the pegs, which I grabbed along with comic packs but they still have all three wave 4 comic packs atleast 2 of each. The Mall of Georgia Target still has wave 7 1xDuke and 2xSE.

This is as of 9:45 this morning.

If you're referring to my post, I was in town for 2 days and was only able to check the Super Target mentioned above and a SWM across from a Ci-Ci's Pizza, I don't recall what road that was on. Neither had wave 4 comic packs. I would've shit if I saw them. I'm just not expecting them to hit in my area, but I was aware they were hitting everywhere else.
I may be moving to the area soon and will aid in the hunt, and try not to impact demand too much. (No worries, I am a loose single fig collector with 2-4 doubles at most on army builders. I do have 3 HISS tanks but those were insane deals!)

Hello Fellow Tankers. Longtime lurker, first post. I felt like it was time for me to be a part of the this community instead of hiding in the shadows. I live in Alpharetta, GA and work in Cumming, GA. The Cumming Target (at GA 20 & GA 400) has 4-5 cases of wave eight. This is essentially the same road that the Mall of GA is on just West of Buford for about 15-20 miles. They had about 6 cases on Monday and some type of revision with Firefly, Snake-Eyes Commando, and Zartan. These were wiped out within a day or two. I cannot be believe they got more in so quickly but there you go. 3 Major Bludds left and plenty of the rest.

Just went to the K-mart on Buford Hwy, they didn't have any vehicles out and I didn't have the item number so I didn't ask, so there is still the possibility. The only thing they did have out were 2 comic packs, one Legions set and a Joe 5 pack both over priced.

How much are the Legions set and a Joe 5 pack?

Hopefully the vehicles are still in the back because, when I called I used the Item # list on that receipt shown by a Recondo76 on the K-mart thread. I didn't say what Joe item it was for, but did say I was wanting to know if I give them Item # for a particular Gijoe Item they would look it up so see if they have it. They said sure and entered into there computer. She them said yes we do have Item # gijoe vehicle. I said thank you :)

went to that K-mart, in buford, armed with the items numbers and the guy punched them in and they didn't have anything in stock. So either there was some bad intel or someone read your post and beat me there before I got off work yesterday and went which was around 6ish.

finally found an Arctic Trooper SE here at the Target in S. Springs. Is he supposed to have 2 swords? BBTS shows him as coming with 2. The only thing left of wave 8 was one CC with Mass Crystals. I had to pass as can't really afford another CC in my collection. My Cobra troopers are already confused as it is trying to get orders from my other 2 CCs. :)

I was visiting in Rome, GA yesterday and saw a bunch of Cobra blue and GI Joe senior ranking officer packs at TRU. Sorry, but I bought both Cobra red packs. I also took the last Night Watch set. The rest of town was pretty dry, unless you like TF Animated. The Wal-Mart has tons of them, even the boxed figures (including Grimlock).
