South Carolina G.I. Joe Sightings

[Super_Megatron]

Please use this thread to report G.I. Joe sightings in the state of South Carolina.

[RockinHard]

Anyone spotted any 25th Joes in the state of South Carolina?

[Griffix]

I was in Columbia over the weekend and checked the Wal-Mart at the Fort Jackson exit. They had a couple wave 3 singles, but also had a couple of the wave 3 comic packs.

[RockinHard]

Which exit is the fort Jackson exit? I live in Northeast Columbia.

[SPC Airborne]

Which exit is the fort Jackson exit? I live in Northeast Columbia.
Ft. Jackson is Exit 12 off of I-77. I'll never forget that b/c when I was in Basic Training, my barracks were directly to the right of the gate. I could look out of the window in my room and see Walmart. That sucked!

[SPC Airborne]

Recently found Wave 3 Comic Packs in Anderson and Central, SC. Also, found some Wave 4 at a few Walmarts and Wave 5 at Kmart.

[RockinHard]

Joe's have been limited here. Found a few wave 1 and 2 at Wal-Mart, and none at two other Wal-Marts. Found a few wave 1 and 2 at one Target, and found several more wave one and two at another target, with, what appeared to be, one figure each of wave 3 and 4. I also found what appeared to be one figure each of wave 4 at Toys R Us, along with many cobra troopers, officers, serpentors, rippers, zartans, stalkers, red ninjas, and shipwrecks at same store. I've seen several wave one comic packs at said Wal-Mart, too. That's all I've seen.

Go Tigers! (I went to Clemson but dont live in SC anymore)

[RockinHard]

I have yet to see wave 5 ANYWHERE!

[RockinHard]

Finally found several CG's, one SE's, and one IG Destro in Target. But still have not seen any Snow Job's or Flash's of wave 5 ANYWHERE.

[SgtSlaughter]

Found 2 cases of wave 6 at WalMart in Simpsonville. Also saw a few wave 3 comic packs.

[RockinHard]

I have seen wave 3 comic packs as well. However, I have NEVER seen ripper/torch in stores. Had to order a couple of those off ebay. I have yet to see Flash or Snow Job ANYWHERE. And I sure haven't seen wave 6 ANYWHERE.

[RockinHard]

Finally saw ONE Ripper/Torch comic pack in Wal-Mart. Still have not seen Flash or Snow Job ANYWHERE. No wave 6 ANYWHERE, either.

[JPTurtle]

Also several wave 4.

[ImaJayhawk]

Picked up Torpedo, CG, Air Trooper, Rock N Roll, and Snow Job last night in Columbia.

[RockinHard]

Where did you find them at in Columbia?

[Cobra Ties]

Went to Walmart in Lexington today @ 2pm. They had new cobra commander, torpedo, and rock n roll. I picked up the torpedo and the first crimson guard I have seen in stores.

[Cobra Ties]

Went to TRUS today. they had two SE vs red ninja 5- packs, three SS vs SE wave 3, three SS vs SE wave 1, several Buzzers and Serpentors.

[RockinHard]

Cobra Ties, are you in Columbia?

[Cobra Ties]

I live in Lexington. I did go by the walmart of 26 east today exit 111b in columbia, they had the twins 2-pack, the dreadnoks two-pack, 2 ace vs wild weasel 2-pack and the usual stalker,gung-ho, scarlett singles. The walmart on 378 in lexington only has wave 1 two packs and serpentor, cobra commander singles. The target in lexington only had wave one two packs also.

[Cobra Ties]

Walmart in lexington has the sheves full of single packs. They had four of all the wave six plus a few wave five's. Only had four wave one two- packs. I picked up all four crimson guards and an air trooper.

[RockinHard]

How do you get to this Wal-Mart from Two-Notch Road, CobraTies?

[Cobra Ties]

Not sure where you live on two notch or where you are coming from? My guess would be to take 20 west toward Augusta and take exit 61 (lexington/378 ). The walmart is about five miles down on your right. For better directions I included the store' info ( #1) and the other four I usually travel to. I probably will have a full report on all five plus some other stores tomorrow or friday. Hope this helps.

[badpig1068]

The toys r us on harbison blvd in columbia got in a shipment of senior officers, but only the cobra troopers were left

[RockinHard]

There is a wave 2-3 comic pack craze at the Wal-Marts in Columbia today. No signs of wave 7 or 8 anywhere. The Targets I've been to have not gotten any Joes of any kind for going-on two months or more now---not since or before the exclusives were released--and you'd be hard pressed to find those exclusives. I saw a few of them after the release date, but that's it. Luckily, I got one of each, plus two extra tanks. I found one case of wave 7 upstate. Ordered another off Ebay.

[badpig1068]

Yup, wave seven seems to popping up everywhere but in the columbia/lexington area.

[RockinHard]

Where are you located Badpig?

[SgtSlaughter]

Found wave 7 at Target in Greer and Greenville. All gone now, Target on Woodruff road still has some SE's left.

[badpig1068]

I live over in the great town of Lexington

[luke04]

no sign of wave 8 or the wave 4 comic pack in central or easley
wal-marts might check target or toysrus friday

[Cobra Ties]

I have spotted wave 7 Snake eyes about two weeks ago and a viper last week. My brother picked up the wave 4 comic two packs(firefly-storm shadow and copperhead-shipwreck) last night at the Walmart in Lexington. I hit the motherload today at the Walmart by the Colunbia Mall. They must have just filled the shelves because they had almost all the wave 7 and 8's. I picked up both two packs, the Baroness, Roadblock from the cartoon, tiger force flint, major bludd, Wild Bill, and Cobra Hiss Driver. There were still three cobra vipers, the new cobra commander with mass device, two wave 7 snake eyes, and another set of the two packs on the shelf. The toys r us by the mall also had two wave 7 snake eyes.

[luke04]

no wave 8 or comic pack wave 4 in easley, central wal-marts

[luke04]

no wave 7,8 at target in greenville or walmart in easley, central as of 5-29-08

[luke04]

wal mart in easley has some wave 7 and filler waves
also have extra firefly for trade

[RockinHard]

I have seen about four wave 7 snake eyes and two vipers. I have seen one each of the wave 4 comic packs. I have seen NO wave 8 anywhere. I have still only seen two Flash's which I picked up way back in March.

[ImaJayhawk]

West Columbia Walmart got 1 case of wave 8 on tues, also Heroes and Dragons had some.

[DrFever]

I was just on vacation in Myrtle Beach, SC.

I stopped at the stores around the HWY 501 / Seaboard area.

Target & WalMart = nothing

Toys R Us = they had all the 5 packs (Joe, Cobra, Ninja, Night) they also had two of the Lady Jay & two cobra troopers comic pack http://smalljoes.com/images_gijoe/comic3dtc4-2-p_l.jpg

Also was shopping with my lady at a place called "Ross: Dress For Less". They had a tiny toy section so I looked for fun. They had a bunch of Sigma 6 stuff and the Cobra Legions 5 pack (just $12)

[flywheels]

Super Wal-Mart in Rock Hill still has a few of the blue Baroness and the Cobra Commander w/ the MASS Device crystals. The Target down the road has had the same peg warmers for the last 2 months or so.

[RockinHard]

Any good sightings South Carolinians?

[flywheels]

I'm upstate in Rock Hill, but the pickings have been slim here.

[luke04]

The toys r us in greenville s.c. had only the older comic packs and no single carded joes. the wal mart in easley had about 8 vipers and older comic packs. wal mart in central had vipers cobra troops and 1 duke with jet pack.

[Recondo76]

Anybody seen Wave 9 yet?

[RockinHard]

I don't see much of anything but a gazillion comic packs at Wal-Mart and the usual Buzzers, Serpentors, and Cobra Commanders. I have spotted doses of wave 7, remnants of wave 8 (have yet to see Bludd--anywhere), and sure have not seen the vehicles or any wave 9.

[Cobra Ties]

Wave 9 in SC as of yesterday. I went to the usual six Walmarts yesterday and found that wave 9 was at all the Walmarts. I'm guessing by what I found on the shelf that each store received two boxes of wave 9 and a box of wave 7. It wasn't until I got to the six store that I found a Barbeque. I did not see one BAT at all and only one Bazooka and one Snow Serpent. For some reason there was all the Hawk's,Storm Shadow's and Wild Bill's still on the shelf. Also plenty of torpedo's. I loved them sending more wave 7's though, picked up only my second Hiss Driver I have ever seen.

[SSGWeaver]

Target in Richland NE has 1 Torpedo and 1 Black SS, Wal-Mart on Harbison had wave 8 and 9, about one each as of 12 pm today 7-12-08. Best luck I ever had with Joes was last week at Toys R Us in Fayetville, NC outside of Ft. Bragg, they had about 40 single card figs, the new vehicles, and all the toys r us exclusives. I picked up the Hiss Tank and the Vamp, but they still had one of each. Only about 2 and a half hour drive, may be worth calling them or driving up there. Good Luck!

[flywheels]

Wal-Mart on Dave Lyle Blvd. in Rock Hill had one each of the new vehicle 2 packs, a couple of ther 12" figs (Flint, Bazooka, Cobra Trooper), tons of Vipers, Wild Bills, Duke (w/ Flag). Couple of the Copperhead/Shipwreck comic packs and one of Duke/Red Star.

[flywheels]

Target on Dave Lyle Blvd. in Rock Hill had each of the vehicle packs last night as well as the 12" figures. Everything else Joe related was sold out.

[Ruination04]

What is up with SC??? This thread apparently doesn't see much action?? Same way with the SC thread over on the TFW2005 boards...Not a big fanbase in SC????

[badpig1068]

Found the new vehicles at the Wal-mart on Harbison in Columbia. It looked like they put out two full cases. I got one Ram and Flight pod so there were still plenty when i left.

[Cobra Ties]

I have to give credit to someone out there, not sure who but if they read this they know. Went in the Target in Lexington today and found my first BAT. There was one of all of wave 9 but Storm Shadow. Someone got there before me but only got one BAT, one Snow Serpent, and the SS leaving the rest for others. Thanks!!!!
They also had the new wave 5 2-packs, there was one of all three and an extra Destro-Iron Grenadier. So thanks again to whoever is nice enough to save some Joe's for the rest of us who don't have those guys.

[flywheels]

Found the entire wave 7 today @ the Wal-Mart in Fort Mill, SC. First time I've EVER seen the HISS Tank driver...so I picked up the only 2 they had.

Also have both DVD sets, only the 2nd time I've seen them locally. Armadillo/Serpentor vehicle pack left as well.

[flywheels]

Wal-Mart in Rock Hill was in the middle of their reset last night when I dropped in. Had several Gen Hawks, Bazookas, Barbeques, Torpedos and the usual Duke, Wild Bill and Viper figs. I got one Bazooka and the only Snow Serpent I could find. They also had one of each DVD set. No vehicles though.

[flywheels]

Fort Mill Wal-Mart had one CC/Tripwire comic pack (0 after I left!) and one Ninja-Ku SS. Had all 4 vehicles, several single card figs and comic packs that I hadn't seen in awhile.

[flywheels]

Am I the only one posting for SC now?

Found comic packs of IG/Destro (gold), Nemesis Enforcer/Flint, Duke/Red Star & Copperhead/Shipwreck.

Also had all 4 vehicles and several singles included Artic Snake-Eyes, Bazooka, Barbecue...

[badpig1068]

The k-mart, target, and wal-mart in lexington were all dried up with nothing new

[spacemonkeymafia]

God I miss SC........Im from Flo town........

[flywheels]

Rock Hill Target has one Conquest X-30 left as of 1:15 pm today. Wife called from the store and she said they had one of each. It was hard, but I talked her into buying the one Rattler for me. Score!

[JokerHL08]

The Columbia Garner Ferry Target had them in stock today. I got them to hold me one, they held the Conquest. But they still had a lone Rattler on shelf they I picked up as well. I'm surprised that the Rattler was still there because it took me a few hours to get there from when I called.

[flywheels]

I hit the Target in Rock Hill this morning on my way to work just for kicks and I was surprised the Conquest was still sitting on the shelf. My wife picked up the Rattler for me yesterday around lunch so I really didn't expect to find anything. Maybe their size or price is keeping some collectors away?

[badpig1068]

The target in lexington had one rattler and one conquest on the shelves. I snagged them both, but they could have more in the back.

[badpig1068]

The Toys r us in columbia has the new cg and greenshirt 5 packs in stock. I got one of the greenshirts.

[ParatrooperCarbine]

Westgate (Dorman Center) Wal Mart in Spartanburg has Cobra Troopers, Air Troopers, Hiss tanks back in stock, Crimson Guard, Gung Ho, Duke, Vipers, Wild Bill, DVD sets, Bazooka, Roadblock, Torpedo, and IG Destro.

[Diablogunner]

Hey guys, if you live in the Charleston Area, the Mt. Pleasant Walmart supercenter got in 5 cases of the revision series 4 (armor CC, snake eyes, etc), one case of comic packs with Destro/IG, tripwire, etc, and two cases of vehicles with fangs, awe striker, etc. I know they are on the shelf because I ordered them and stocked them.

[RockinHard]

Here lately, I've seen everything in stores except wave 10, the newer TRU exclusives, and early carded figures such as Gung-HO, Cobra Trooper, Lady Jaye, Cobra Storm Shadow, Flint, Snake Eyes with Timber, and Red Ninja.

[MSG Duke]

Can you be a little more specific about what you saw, and where?

[badpig1068]

The Toys R Us in Columbia has mutiple packs of the greenshirt and crimson guard 5 packs

[brock Samson]

found awe striker at the walmart on the west side of town. all the walmarts and targets have both revision cases filling to the brim.

[badpig1068]

The Kohls in lexington has the wave 6 comic packs. Well now it only has the scrap iron wild bill pack. It also had a bat, croc, para trooper, mutt, and some of the other new single packs.
