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.

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*;)

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.

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

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
10-18-2007, 09:15 AM
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
10-18-2007, 09:17 AM
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...

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
11-29-2007, 07:49 PM
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?

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
12-18-2007, 10:21 AM
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

Colder Soldier
12-18-2007, 10:52 PM
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
12-20-2007, 12:54 AM
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..

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
01-09-2008, 10:37 PM
Just one case at the east side Target? Did you leave any? Just wondering if I need to stop by there.

blugel
01-10-2008, 12:43 AM
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
01-10-2008, 10:39 AM
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.

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
01-15-2008, 10:24 PM

02-26-2008, 04:18 PM
one cc wave 4 at wm greenfield...price change from 4.88 to 5.44

ladyhump
02-26-2008, 05:07 PM
Bummer, I guess since they only get basically 1 case at a time they have to make up for it by charging more.

02-26-2008, 06:37 PM
yeah.. but that's still cheaper than everyone else.

03-02-2008, 03:43 AM
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!
03-02-2008, 11:50 AM
greenfield wm had 2 cases wave 6

b24sharky

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
03-09-2008, 10:07 AM
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
03-11-2008, 01:48 PM

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
03-13-2008, 09:29 PM
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
03-22-2008, 10:31 AM
TRU in Evansville, as of yesterday about 3:00pm had about 3 of each of the exclusive 5-packs.

cmderinchief
03-31-2008, 06:59 PM
Target stuff on the north and west sides of Indy. In both cases a DCPI was needed, otherwise they disavow any knowledge. :)

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.

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

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.

05-17-2008, 02:47 PM
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
05-23-2008, 10:24 PM
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
05-26-2008, 01:08 PM
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
05-26-2008, 01:28 PM
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.

05-28-2008, 07:02 PM
No luck finding the new comic packs on my hunt today, but I did find another AWE Striker! :)

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
05-29-2008, 03:46 PM
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.

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.

05-31-2008, 04:21 PM
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

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.

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
06-16-2008, 02:13 PM
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.

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

07-10-2008, 04:45 PM
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!!

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

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. :)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

I saw wave 12 last weekend at Target on Michigan Rd. They had plenty. What's funny is I've only seen wave 13 once.

Has anybody seen any UBPs clearanced in the Indy area?

If a Target sold out of the UBP's at 54 dollars is the price still in the system or do they completely get rid of it? I thought about trying to return the one I got for 54 and buying back at 38 but I didn't know how that works. I might just try calling the store to see if they have it in the system and the price.

The kiddo loves these. Anything she loves gets thumbs in my book. W2 is cool. Too bad we won't be seeing more for a while.

i am in hammond right next to the illinois state line.

I will be headed up there next weekend I think. I also have to go back up there in April for a baby shower. Maybe I can escape and we can meet up at the Merrillville Hooters or something. Shoot me a PM!

You need to network with the Indy SW community my friend. :D They spotted them at the Avon Target. I'm sure they are long gone now.

I finally found my first BAT in the wild this weekend at the Walmart just off Grape Road (in Mishawaka).

Dumb question - do both of the BATs forearms come off, or just the one? I don't want to break the first one I have ever discovered. LOL

No sweat, maybe next time. PM me your number and I can call ya ahead of time. EVERYONE knows the Hooters there!! ;-)

I am pretty much a Joe collector, but I do snag Battlestar Galactica figs and Minimates from time to time.

For all the other Hoosiers in this thread, some other Joe collectors and I are looking at meeting up in Ft. Wayne on March 28th. We'll be having some out of state friends join us as well. Details will more than likely be on the COIL site. Click the link in my sig to direct you to the forums. If you have not met up with your fellow Hoosier collector, you are missing out!!
