Indiana G.I. Joe Sightings

[The Commander]

After daily searching of Walmarts and Targets, I checked a local Kmart in Bloomington, IN and found one Flint and one Storm Shadow. Didn't imagine I'd find them at Kmart as they are normally pretty behind on things. I'm going to be keeping my eye out for the 5 packs.

[infinitron]

Started out on the hunt 8:00am Saturday morning @ the Grantline Road KMart where I found exactly nothing but a big mess.

The Grantline WalMart yeilded a few beauties I didn't even know were coming out- new 12" GIJOE Adventure Team Re-Issues! They had Air Adventurer, Land Adventurer, Man of Action, GIJoe Adventurer and Sea Adventurer. @ 9.99 Each and retro cool in the original style box packaging, I just had to buy one of each. Several of each remained except for GIJoe Adventurer, of which I had bought the last one.

After the Indiana run I hit most Louisville stores starting out east on Westport Road and moving west-NO damn GIJoe 25th figures anywhere... (or any '08 Bumblebees or other new TF's)

At literally my last desperate stop, the Sears Essentials (KMart) on Dixie Highway, I struck a little gold. After searching all through toys, (@KMarts anything can be anywhere, the sloppy #$#@'s) I found, perched on a top shelf above die cast cars, exactly one GIJoe and one Cobra 25th Anniversary 5 Pack. I was giddy as a schoolgirl. They rock! And pleasantly they were 24.99 each, I expected the usual 2-5$ KMart overcharge.

Colder Soldier, I'm still planning on buying at least one more of each for myself but the next ones I find are yours and then I'll get seconds. (Hopefully I'll find a bunch at once):D

I went out again @1:00 this morning to WalMarts Clarksville, Wesport and Hubbards Lane- Nada. No GIJoe, no Transformers at all on any of the stores pallets. After finding the same stuff on the evening pallets of these 3 stores I surrendered for the evening and headed to White Castle. I'm finishing my large chocolate milkshake as I type... *burps*;)

[marvelousmark]

I live in SW Indiana, Evansville to be exact. I have seen 1 25th thing here. It was at the new Target. They had one GI Joe box. That was it. TRU told me that they'll be in Frida, tomorrow, and Wal-Mart has no clue. There are 4 Wal-Marts within the area, a K-Mart, a TRU, and several Targets. I did find Snake Eyes at a TRU in Chicago, the only thing they had, and CC, SS and Cobra Officer at Wizard World Chicago for 10 per. It sucked paying a little extra, but at least I have them. Now, if I can just get Flint and that damn Cobra box, I'll be good. Of course, I want another of each to keep MISP and a few select figs for customizing.

[ladyhump]

Vincennes, IN Kmart has 3 of the Joe 5-packs

[taz98spin]

All the G.I. JOEs in the North side of Indianapolis
are gone..

I've been to 4 Walmarts, 3 Targets and 1 Kmart
these past 3 days, and nothing.

I even went at 6 am because one of the stupid Walmart workers said they should be in today,
but nope..nothing ..

Why is it so hard to find????

P.S.
Not sure if its true for all Kmart stores,
but they are having a 10% sale on all G.I. JOE figures

[taz98spin]

All the Target's (in the north side of Indy) have 2 boxes each of the Joe 5 pack, and that's it.

I just called and they did an inventory search and
that's all that came up.........

[taz98spin]

Yeah, This is getting ridiculous. I'm tired of driving to all the different stores only to find empty pegs. I'm glad I got wave 3 and 2 figs. from wave 2, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna pay scalper prices to get the rest I need. I have a feeling the next fiqs. to hit Walmart and Target will be wave 4 in Nov.

Worst comes to worst, I'll sell my small 25th collection and concentrate on my vintage collection. Speaking of which, anyone on here interested in trading vintage figs?

Yeah, I think I'm wasting my time & gas $ to
go around finding them...

[madmac41]

Save yourself a trip to Indiana zip nothing nada.I piced up an extra Flint(I was getting it for Gnawgahyde since he couldn't find any)So if anyone in the Louisville area still needs one let me know you can have it for the 4.88 plus tax I paid for it.

[ladyhump]

5-packs=yes, single figs=no for the Evansville area. There's a Walmart in IL that has a couple CC and one SE. I've seen a green stalker in E-ville but thats the only Wave 3 fig I've seen in store and that was a month or so ago.

[The Commander]

Anyone know if there is any Wave 5 within 50 miles of the Indianapolis area?

[Hicks_Royel]

I found Wave Five at the Wal-Mart in Lawrenceburg this afternoon. Almost didn't see them since I just saw a glimpse of red the first time I walked by and though it was the same red ninja that's been there for a week.

Frankfort continues to be empty.

[Colder Soldier]

Everyone, go check your local Wal-Marts! The one in Clarksville IN today had about 10 cases of 25th! They had 3 cases of wave 5 (which I now own), plus plenty of Flints and Cobra Troopers I left behind. Maybe this is THE big shipment before JC's B-Day!

[madmac41]

Someone cleaned out New Albany too,Was that you too Anthony?

[Colder Soldier]

No man, that was'nt me. I'm not that greedy. I need some new wheels right now and I can only frequent Clarksville. But if I did had the transportation I probably would've went all around for more Siegies.

I'm impressed with all of W5 and I'm glad the figs are improving. It's great they all have the new "sitting down-battle crotch"!

[blugel]

just wondering if wave 5 has been seen anywhere around southern indiana or thereabouts (eville, henderson, owensboro, etc)...everywhere seems completely void of them...very infuriating to fight these damn holiday crowds only to find nothing..

[madmac41]

What the hell is gioing on why is this section split in two? And the split doesn't make sense.

[The Commander]

What the hell is gioing on why is this section split in two? And the split doesn't make sense.

I think this is the work of the new Moderator...

[blugel]

kind of a late sighting (due to storms knocking out my power last nite) but at the east side target in evansville i found a case of wave 5 shortly after opening...could not believe my eyes...so start checking targets, hopefully they'll continue to get more in (now if they'd only get in wave 2 of the comic packs)..

[ladyhump]

Just one case at the east side Target? Did you leave any? Just wondering if I need to stop by there.

[blugel]

i left a crimson guard and flash...but i went back today just to see what was left and it was just two hooded cc's and 2 shipwrecks...never did get around to checking the north side one...still dumbfounded at having found wave 5 just sitting there...

[ladyhump]

North side has 1x Shipwreck and hooded CC. They did have all of the Wave 1 Comic packs and Walmart on the west side had all the wave 1 comic packs except for the Hawk one.

[The Commander]

Found Wave five today in Bloomington @ Target.

[umanumanamo]

First time posting!

Found Wave 5 today in Lafayette, at TRU. They had one of each of each, except they had 2 Siegies. Target also had some of wave 5, except one CG and SE were the only ones left.

[ladyhump]

East Side E-ville Target had a Case of 5 and revision 3. I left with wave 5.

Noice.

[blugel]

i have noticed but east and north side targets in evansville getting wave 5 cases in quite often. last saturday they both had a few cases each. still no luck on the comic packs wave 2 in the 'ville though...looks like east side walmart still hasn't done jack shit..

[Blowtorch Rules!]

Picked up wave 4 at Greenfield WM today. also an air trooper at connersville WM. saw flash, buzzer, shipwreck at connersville KM

[The Commander]

Waves 3, 4, & 5 found today between Kmarts (3 & 5) and 4 (WM) in Bloomington.

[The Commander]

Wave 6 found at WM in South-Central Indiana.

[blugel]

wave 6 found in southwestern indiana as well...although torpedo was already gone =(

[Blowtorch Rules!]

one cc wave 4 at wm greenfield...price change from 4.88 to 5.44

[ladyhump]

Bummer, I guess since they only get basically 1 case at a time they have to make up for it by charging more.

[Blowtorch Rules!]

yeah.. but that's still cheaper than everyone else.

[Colder Soldier]

This was definetly a luckier night for me. After I got done watching my man Anderson Silva unify the UFC middleweight and Pride welterweight championship belts, I headed over to the nearest Wal-Mart (Clarksville). They had their exclusive deluxe movie TFs and many cases of the new SW figs.

Oh yeah, they also had some Armored CCs, Torpedos, and Rock n' Rolls. So go check your local WMs.

[Blowtorch Rules!]

greenfield wm had 2 cases wave 6

[b24sharky]

Coming home from Indy yesterday stopped at the Carmel Walmart and scored Torpedo, Rock n' Roll, Armored CC, 3 X Air Trooper, 3 X Crimson Guard.

[cmderinchief]

Good to see so many people from the Hoosier state. I do not post here often, but I am one of the guys on the north side of Indy. Nothing as of late, but sharky scooped me on my closest Wally. D'oh! :D Good to know that we're getting some W2 '08 love in the area instead of being this massive void between Eastern Il. and Western Oh.

[cmderinchief]

To the Indy gang that I don't already know or who are not in Johio.....everything you could possibly want for comic packs is at the Super Wally at 86th and Michigan.

Indy or central Indiana people, do me a favor and PM me when you get a chance. I'd like to get your contact info. There are about 6 of us networked here so its better if we coordinate efforts.

[ladyhump]

Evansville:
North Park Target: Picked up 2x CG's, 1x Trooper, 1x Air Trooper, 1x Rock n Roll

TRU: Picked up SE vs Red Ninja 5-pack. They had CG/Scarface comic pack on rack.

[Blowtorch Rules!]

Greenfield WM
wave 6
Rock n Roll x2
wave 3 CP
Ace/WW x2
SE/SS x2
Fred/Scarface x2
wave 2 CP
Dreadnoks
Destro/Breaker

; ) snagged the last 2!

[b24sharky]

Has anybody found the TRU 5 packs in Indy or the northern part of the state? I've been seeing wave 6 almost every day ( I travel for my job ) and my Cobra army has been finding new recruits almost daily.

[cmderinchief]

Yup dude....check your PM inbox, I am trying to contact ya. I bought the TRU stuff at the Castleton location. I don't know about up in the Chicago area yet.

[ladyhump]

TRU in Evansville, as of yesterday about 3:00pm had about 3 of each of the exclusive 5-packs.

[cmderinchief]

Target stuff on the north and west sides of Indy. In both cases a DCPI was needed, otherwise they disavow any knowledge. :)

[ladyhump]

I'm gonna hit E-ville tommorow to check it out. Did you call, go to Customer service or just ask an associate?

[ladyhump]

Target Greatland in E-ville has them in the back. I bought a case so they should have 5 cases left. Go get'em.

[Bryanm5150]

I picked up all three vehicles yesterday at Target on East Washington St. I'm sure we'll be seeing more soon. If any one wants to network with me in the Indy area let me know.

TRU 3 Packs

INDY

ALL LOCATIONS

[cmderinchief]

Hey Indy! Saw the Target packs on the shelf for the first time today. Credit goes to Smokescreen from JBL....but the pic is from me. They are near the registers. Smokie also reported the new SE/Timber repack was there too.

http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff253/cmderinchief/IMG00043.jpg

[Blowtorch Rules!]

TRU on East Washington
SE vs Red Ninja 5pk x 2

[cmderinchief]

Thanks for the report. Another area guy keeps getting stoned on the 3 packs in Indy as well. I have not seen them since I got mine.

[cmderinchief]

If anyone is going to BotCon in the Illinois-Indiana-Kentucky and Ohio region, JOhio will be there!

Details here. Hope to see ya there!

[cmderinchief]

Where all the Indiana folk disappear to??

Pretty much all the area TRUs have been restocked with the 3 packs. Thanks to Bryan5150 for the hook up.

Head on over to http://johio.org/phpBB3/index.php for discussion on other area sightings.

[Lt Horance T Hero]

I have been all over the Fort Wayne area in the past week, both Targets still had some of the exclusives although significantly less Hiss' (although it looks like both have restocked at least once maybe twice), also at least at the Stellhorn Rd location they have been moved back to the aisle from the checkout. As for carded figs only some peg warmers. Out of the 4 Wal-Marts, only the Apple Glen location had anything to speak of, a good mix of waves 5-6 and perhaps the rumored troop builder asst as well as there were troopers, air troopers, and CGs out the wazoo, also most all of the comic packs as well. The Illinois Rd Meijer had a case plus of wave 4 (minus any good ones of course), but the Lima Rd store was desolate.Plan to check TRU again tomorrow but still have not seen the 3 packs and have only seem the 5 packs 3-4 times and none within the last month.

[cmderinchief]

PM sent to ya Hero!!

[Lt Horance T Hero]

Update: TRU this am had 3x Cobra Command 3 pack and most of wave 2 (picked up an extra Lady Jaye and Beachhead for no special reason) also Glenbrook Target had new case of vehicles

[cmderinchief]

The north side of Indy is still bare of W7 (W3-08) stuff, but the Indiana Jones stuff is out. ;)

[Gungla Galunga]

Just to let you guys know. I found wave 7 at the South Indy Co.Line TRU Yesterday. They had 2 or 3 of each.

[cmderinchief]

A NEW INDY POSTER!! Check out JOhio.org buddy and I will send ya a PM. I am back from 10 days out of the country so I will be huntin' this weekend.

[Firebert]

wave 7 come and gone in Fort Wayne

[cmderinchief]

Indy people! Nora Target has some Wild Bills and SEs left. Castleton TRU had a ton of SEs.....meaning they got at least four cases and the troopers and HISS drivers were picked long long ago.

All you new Indiana posters, check us out at www.johio.org!!!

[cmderinchief]

Let me blow the dust off this thread.....

Lots of W4-08 (aka Wave 8) at the S US 31 Wally and 1 case of W4-08 at the Wally at 96th and I-69....minus Bludd.

[b24sharky]

Anybody still finding the Target vehicles? I'm short one A.W.E Striker if anyone can help. Still haven't seen any sign of the TRU 3 packs either.

[cmderinchief]

I have an extra blue 3-pack. No sign of the Target Vehicles here for a while.

BTW, revision packs are coming out of W3-08 and W4-08. Included, so I have been told, is the SE Command from W1-08, Firefly and Zartan.

[b24sharky]

No luck finding the new comic packs on my hunt today, but I did find another AWE Striker! :)

[ladyhump]

Wave 8 from BBTS is processing so hopefully I'll get my hands on Bludd, if not this week, early next week.

[cmderinchief]

Yup, W4 CPs on the way to me. There was a W4 CP sighting on the southside of Indy (thank you JOhio). Southside Wally.

[b24sharky]

Found 2 of the TRU 3 packs in Fort Wayne today. Just have to find the Crimson set and I'll be caught up. Well, besides picking up a few more Hiss Drivers and Vipers here and there.

[cmderinchief]

I don't think you'll have much problems catching those Vipers for the time being. HISS Drivers on the other hand, may be a bit tougher.

[CharIJoe]

there were wave 4 comics at whatever walmart thats closest to "knox"
a friend on vacation picked a shippy pack up for me.

i dont know anything about indiana, just that theres no wally in knox, so its the closest big city.

[primenemesis]

ah whatcha doing over in the indiana forum girl, that's my stompin grounds as well as florida. ha ha ha

[CharIJoe]

ah whatcha doing over in the indiana forum girl, that's my stompin grounds as well as florida. ha ha ha


oh you know you love me prime

[b24sharky]

Found the Crimson 3 pack at the Mishawaka TRU along with another Python Officer at the Warsaw Walmart. South Bend Walmarts had several IG Destros and Cobra Troopers. Still no wave 4 Comic Packs.

[cmderinchief]

ah whatcha doing over in the indiana forum girl, that's my stompin grounds as well as florida. ha ha ha

No, Indiana is my stomping grounds :D

Found the Crimson 3 pack at the Mishawaka TRU along with another Python Officer at the Warsaw Walmart. South Bend Walmarts had several IG Destros and Cobra Troopers. Still no wave 4 Comic Packs.

So you got all the three packs now Shark??

[b24sharky]

I got all the three packs now. Trying to decide if I want to go comic pack hunting later today.

[cmderinchief]

Don't come down south. Nothing on the north side of Indy yet. You'll have to go south of US40 to begin finding them again. My BBTS order is on the way, so for a rare change, I can sit back and relax.

[Darkness2393]

At the Castletown Mall, they have several of the Night Watch and Ninja Fight packs ( I got Night Watch, quite an excellent buy), they also have a hilarious number of Sigma Six Dukes. I have also seen a few Wave 8's and 9's around, and in almost all Wal-Marts I have been to, they seem to have an abundance of Comic Packs

[Gungla Galunga]

Wave 8 at the South side Indy County line TRU.The pegs are full!

[b24sharky]

Picked up three more Python Officers today at the Walmart in Plymouth. There were several Major Bludds and Artic Snakes left if anybody is in that area. Still no sign of the new comic packs.

[cmderinchief]

Ah, Plymouth, the home of Scott Skiles.

Grab those Bludds! Seriously!!

[cmderinchief]

The latest JOhio newsletter!
http://www.johio.org/newsletter/johio2.pdf (http://www.johio.org/newsletter/johio2.pdf)

[ladyhump]

East side Tar-jay has Wave 8. Slapped down my $5 off coupon and got 3 Vipers and Python Officer. Still had a couple Vipers and a bunch of the rest. Wave 7, except for Duke, has vanished from the stores I've been checking. Nada on the clearanced vehicles because there's non to be marked down.

[ladyhump]

TRU has a buttload of the officer 3-packs. All 3 versions.

[Firebert]

Fort Wayne TRU has wave 8. Target - not yet.

[b24sharky]

Still no sign of the vehicles in my area, but I did find a Copperhead/Shipwreck comic pack.

[cmderinchief]

Don't knock yourself out on the vehicles. I think we'll be flooded with them in about a month. There are ZERO sightings in Indiana - period.

[ladyhump]

I'm waiting until more places have sightings of them and/or people are having employees check in the back for them and they actually have them in back. I had employees check in the back the week after they were hitting the west coast and it proved successful. I don't feel the need to have these before everyone else anyway. My army can wait.

[b24sharky]

Walmart in Kokomo has 2 out of the 3 wave 4 comic packs, no Duke/Red Star.

[cmderinchief]

First sighting this far north so far.

I saw W5-08.....at the con. ;)

[b24sharky]

Found wave 9 at the Warsaw Walmart. When I left there was at least 3 of each remaining except for the Snow Serpents, sorry I couldn't resist them.

[cmderinchief]

They are pretty sweet, aren't they?

[Dave in the Basement]

The Mishawaka/South Bend area has been pretty dry lately, but I am going to give things a go between tomorrow and Saturday. Hopefully I'll find something worth mentioning. :)

Dave

[b24sharky]

Yeah I'll be getting ALOT of them. Could be my favorite figure so far. Snow Job doesn't stand a chance!

[cmderinchief]

Ah, but then add Winter Parka Snake Eyes and the odds are a little bit more even! ;-)

I posted your find on JOhio. Be sure to stop by some time ya slacker! You are the only Hoosier who posts over here regularly. :P

[Dave in the Basement]

I grabbed a Lt. Stone at the Grape Road TRU today. They also had another Silver Cape CC if anyone is in the market.

25th wise...nothing new up here. *sigh*

Happy Hunting!

Dave

[ladyhump]

Princeton, IN had the vehicles this morning. Evansville probably got them too or should be getting them soon. Haven't seen Wave 9 yet.

[The Commander]

Was posted on Johio that they had been spotted in E-ville.

[b24sharky]

Picked up a Duke / Red Star comic pack today in Kokomo.

[Dave in the Basement]

I found two HISS Drivers in Mishawaka yesterday. That was a miracle.

[cmderinchief]

Heh heh....yeah, people think they are getting blessed as of late. KuuKuuSon over on JOhio told me that stores are getting cases of W7 and W9 at the same time. So what we're all finding are W7 revision cases. Since no one is looking for HISS Drivers any longer (but us collectors) we're finding them easier to acquire. Thumbs up to you Dave! Two is a great find still!!

[Blowtorch Rules!]

found wave 9 indy eastside wal-mart., only picked up the bat and snow serpent :D

[Dave in the Basement]

I just scored a HISS at TRU.

*dies happy*

That was the only vehicle in sight, but that was also the one I wanted the most. Too bad there were any figs to take home with him. Ah well, no complaints tonight. :)

Dave

[cmderinchief]

Nice one Dave. Which TRU was that up north??

[cmderinchief]

found wave 9 indy eastside wal-mart., only picked up the bat and snow serpent :D

Cool. I will let the guys know on JOhio. BTW, we have a meet coming up in Dayton on the 26th. Wanna come along?

[Dave in the Basement]

Nice one Dave. Which TRU was that up north??

Mishawaka. No idea if there are any other TRUs near here. :)

Dave

[cmderinchief]

Awesome....saw your post on JOhio too. Sorry to double up on ya. :D

[Blowtorch Rules!]

saw the 12" figs at wm this morning in case anyone is looking

[Blowtorch Rules!]

Cool. I will let the guys know on JOhio. BTW, we have a meet coming up in Dayton on the 26th. Wanna come along?

thanks for the invite, but i'll be camping that weekend.

yo joe!

[cmderinchief]

NP, BTR! Next time!

Anyway, not to SPAM ya all, but for those of you who don't check JOhio.....

We will be having a meet in Dayton on the 26th. Details are on the thread here:

http://www.johio.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=645

We'll be having food, discussion, door prizes, and will be discussing business for the next year's con. We always have a great time and HOOSIERS are always welcome!

[Blowtorch Rules!]

wv1 vehicles spotted at indy eastside wm today
boxes were partially crushed

[ladyhump]

Found a bunch of Wave 7 at Walmarts across Princeton and Evansville today. Both had nothing before this and now they get the motherload of a wave that is 2 behind what I was hoping for.

[cmderinchief]

Word from Kuukuuson over on JOhio is that W7 is shipping with W9 through distribution.

Again, we should be careful what we wish for. We'll be flooded in HISS Drivers and Bludd real soon. LOL!

[Noizeindex]

Hello, I'm normally a Michigan guy but I find myself working in Indiana this week! That being said:

Walmart- Auburn- W7 SE & Vipers
Walmart- Huntington?- nothing worth mentioning
Walmart- Wabash- 1 VAMP w/Clutch
Walmart- Kokomo- 1 complete set of vehicles. I saw them being put out at about 3:45. They put them on the top shelf above the Star Wars toys pegs, not the Joes? They are placed sideways so hopefully someone on here notices them. As far as singles & CP's, nothing worth mentioning.
Target- Kokomo- Wave 4 Scarlet's & CC's

[cmderinchief]

Workin' at the Delphi facility? :D

[Noizeindex]

Nope:) But a pretty good guess. I will leave it as a "Third Party Automotive Supplier".

I see you guys are as bare as we are for Wave 9. This weekend will be interesting if W9/vehicles/DVD's get put out with all the Clone Wars stuff.

[viper9]

I am in town and saw the DVD packs at the Plainfield IN Target and the Target off of exit 2 on 465. I left them at both stores, to big to get back on a plane with.

[cmderinchief]

What were ya in town for?

Sorry about the crappy airport. :)

[viper9]

I actually cover St.Louis, Chicago, Wisc,Detriot,Minn, and Indy for my company. I get to hit plenty of stores during the week.
Looks like a new air port is coming

[cmderinchief]

:) Not to hijack this thread, I'll just PM ya.

[gatorcopilot]

Bloomington--NEW comic 2-packs
side note--2 Black Mask and 2 Gold Mask

[ladyhump]

You get both Black Destros?

[Dave in the Basement]

The revision cases hit my Mishawaka Target, and I was able to grab:

2x Torpedo
1x Black Ninja Leader Guy – Is that supposed to be SS?
1x Snow Serpent – tossed in with some random Legos. WOO HOO! Man he is cool!

And the gold mask Destro comic pack, which was the only new comic pack in sight.

Needless to say, it was very exciting to saddle up to the Joe pegs and find a Torpedo staring back at me. :)

Happy Hunting!

On the black ninja, the card says Storm Shadow, but really it is a homage to an Argentina figure. However, you make make him whatever you want. It is your Joe universe! ;)

[ladyhump]

Princeton, IN - Walmart
Found Wave 4 comics (already had them), still got a bunch of Wave 7 single figs but they had the DVD/Figure boxsets.

Also, Blaster and Quickmix Transformer: Universe

[Colder Soldier]

Clarksville Target had; 3 cases of W9, 1 case of new comic pks, and 1 case of vehicles. Also an animated Jazz, Snarl, Oilslick, and 2 Soundwaves. As always, Jazz is cool.

Fair Warning: Go check other Targets for B.A.T.s and Snow Serpents. Happy Hunting.

[Shockwave-the-Magnificent]

Damn, that sucks! My wife is in Scottsburg right now (further north) and just checked the Walmart up there... nothing. Maybe I should ask her to keep checking?

Hello, passing through your state again!

Walmart in Huntington off 24- Lots of Wave 9, including a few BATS & Snow Serpents. Looks like you have a card bender though, the ones sitting out didn't look too good, but it's the first time I've seen a BAT in a store. Hope somebody gets it quick! Besides that they had vehicles & DVD packs, no new CP's though.

Walmart in Wabash. Zip. Zero. Zilch. They were putting out other toys, so maybe they are going to stock the pegs? They had lots of space for Joes, just nothing up.

Walmart in Kokomo- Nothing exciting, DVD packs.

Target in Kokomo- Nothing exciting, just DVD packs.

[Noizeindex]

Passing through some more:) I was bored so I decided to explore the area more.

Target off US-31 by Carmel- W9 leftovers, DVD packs, no new CP's
Walmart across US-31- W9 leftovers, DVD packs, no new CP's

Target on North Michigan(421)- W9 leftovers, DVD packs, no new CP's

Target on 86th in Indy- W9 leftovers, DVD packs, no new CP's

Nice! I'm actually leaving the area today, & heading over to beautiful Sandusky, Ohio for some roller coaster action. Not sure if I can get the people I'm going with to stop at any stores though. I think I'm being ordered to give it a rest this weekend!

It took them a while, but Meijer's has put out their Joes. I found a NEW Artic Cobra, which is a rare find. So collectors should checkout Meijer's in their area.

[silverc]

They were out at the Meijer stores around here in Michigan (Metro Detroit/Lansing/Lower Central Michigan) last week. Most stores I saw had at least 3 cases in.

[Firebert]

Well it's been a month since the last post.
Just went to Target and Toys R Us today. Saw remnants of wave 7,8,9 single packs. Picked up the Destro/IG and Tripwire/CC comic packs. Left a Falcon/Nem Enf since already found one earlier.
Hope the exclusives show up soon.
Target still had a HISS and Trouble Bubble/RAM pack. Walmarts still overstocked on old comic packs.

Good update. New case revisions are hitting Indy. New sightings of Flash have been reported.

I'm at that store every freakin' friday and of course the week I gotta work 1st shift, they get 'em. If I don't get some Rattlers soon I'm gonna crack up.

Did they have any when you left, Madmac?

[madmac41]

Straw Hat Pirate bought the other Rattler. There weren't anymore on the shelf but there were only 3 planes on the shelf so they might have more in the back.

It was good to meet you, too, madmac41. I've actually called that Target twice today since the website still says 'Limited Availability,' and most people are saying that the stores only have space for three jets on the shelves but usually keep more in the back (i.e. a Conquest that would go great with my new Rattler), but they keep telling me they don't have anything.

[DoctorJoe]

found one each of the rattler and conquest at the Nora Target in Indy, none left

[ladyhump]

North Target in Evansville has a set, I picked up the set they had at the West Side Greatland. Now I breathe a sigh of relief.

[Colder Soldier]

Yeah, your right. With space only for 3 on the shelves, they do keep all extras in the back. I phone-nagged enough until they went and found the other Conquest, then I went and picked it up. Today I went out to the Bashford Manor store and picked up their 1 set. So from what I can tell, 1 case = 1 set. That sucks. The boxes are quite large so most stores won't even get more than 1 set per week. That's unless some endcaps are gonna get made for them. Let's hope.

[The Commander]

Picked up Rattler/Conquest at Bloomington Target. There are more available in the Indy area as well according to Target's website.

[Firebert]

Got my Rattler and Conquest at the Glenbrook Target. Had to go two days because they only put one out at a time.

US 31 Walmart (Greenwood)--Wave 3 Vehicles

[b24sharky]

After being out of the hunt for awhile due to some unforseen circumstances, picked up a Firebat today and a Rattler and Conquest from a friend over the weekend. Firebat was at the Peru Kmart.

[cmderinchief]

Indy folks, be sure to post here and/or on johioclub.com when you find those new TRU 3 packs. The are pesky little buggars.

[ladyhump]

Princeton Walmart: Scored a Firebat and 2 out of 3 of Wave 6 Comic Packs. Beachhead pack was MIA.

[ladyhump]

With the Target jets being readily available, how long before they mark these down? It didn't seem like it was very long, a month or so, before people were finding the other Target exclusives with red clearance tags.

[cmderinchief]

Tan AWEs were sighted at the 38th St. Wally in Indy.

[vtt1jam]

Found Claw, Fang, Firebat, and Awe striker with leatherneck at Walmart... they have hit INDY!!

[Firebert]

Fort Wayne just got the TRU 5 packs.

[ladyhump]

TRU in E-ville has Wave 2 5-packs. No new SRO packs.

[ladyhump]

Kohl's in E-ville has Wave 10. They price match, too. Regular 9.99 on sale for 7.99 plus you can price match Target's price of 4.99. Comic Packs are 12.99 reg., they had Wave 6 instock. All the cards had their silly little sticker on them making them prime candidates for opening. I bought 3x BATs and 3x Paravipers. East side had 4x cases and West side had about 1x case but I didn't buy any from the West one.

[JoeFanatic]

Went to Kohl's in Brownsburg and found all of Wave 10 except for Bazooka Trooper and Variant Wraith. I picked up two, Croc Master And Para Viper and got 15% or $3.00. Interesting to me that Kohl's has these and Target and Walmart don't. I do think they will show up at Target and Walmart in time for Holiday shopping.

[mister-x]

hey, the only other kohls in central IN that carries the single packs is greenwood,(they have all but wraith) plainfield has wave5 c/p's...but southport and franklin dont carry joes at all :( dont know if you've ever been, AP collectibles on w.washington has them all for cheaper

[Batmandk02]

Make that 10 threads about Kohl's having Wave 10. Good Lord!!

[no fate]

Nothing new has been sighted here in east central IN for a little while now. I have seen the wave 3 vehicles around, but not much else.

[JoeFanatic]

Was at Target in Avon tonight and found the Ultimate Battle Pack. After looking it over not sure if I'll get one yet or not, but just wanted to put it out there.

[JoeFanatic]

Thanks for the tip about AP Collectibles, went to check it out today and was very impressed. They do indeed have it all and more with the internet exclusives. I picked up DVD packs 3 & 4 there, couldn't find them anywhere else.

[JoeFanatic]

I found wave 12 at AP Collectibles today in Plainfield, picked up Ninja Viper and Tripwire. They have everything there, goodbye Target and Walmart, can't say I'll miss you.

[blugel]

Found a crapload of wave 11 at Evansville's East Side Target (literally all three rows filled with them). I bought a few but there are many left...too bad no wave 10, though.

[ladyhump]

Any Eels left or did you pick them up?

[mrselfdestruct]

I was just there and they had 1 Pilot Scarlett, 1 Cobra Paratrooper, and 2 anti-tank Cobra Troopers.

[blugel]

wow, thats all thats left? they really did have a crapload yesterday, multiples of each figure. i only picked up one of the eels, zartan, paratrooper, and that guy from mask.

oddly, though, all of the cards on all of them were bent so badly that the bubbles were actually coming off on a few of them. i have never seen cards destroyed so badly.

cant believe they're all gone, though. apparently north side still has the revision figures on the shelves. still hoping someone puts out some belated wave 10 (since kohls on the east side shot me down twice on the price match).

[ladyhump]

I checked it out this morning and they had what mrselfdestruct saw and the cards were messed up something fierce. Oh well. I'll get some eventually; probably after the sale ends.
