I think I'm like the only member in Utah, lololol. muhahaha!!! More for me!!!!
I found the remnants of wave 5 at Target, the cashier told me I just missed a guy who bought "a ton of these little guys" all he left was a wave 5 black Snake Eyes.
Wal-mart has been tearing down the shelving to reset their line. Who knows when they'll actually restock. The employees are kinda jerky when you ask questions.
"If it's not out, it's not availible to buy."
Oh well... any day now and I'm sure to see comic packs and 4 pegs of Joes. Hopefully wave 4 and a few from wave 5 I need as openers.

Complete Wave 4 at TRU on State Street as of 30 minutes ago.
Ha! We must've just missed each other, I was there at about that time too and saw them.
They also had two ROCCs for $30. Despite being Sigma 6, it's the same as the DTC version and fits the 25th Anny figures.
Ultra Magnus 71

I have a question dose the Sigma 6 dragonhawk fit the 25th figures?

for the guys who went to tru(state st) thanks for leaving Air Trooper. he was the last w4 I needed.
Xerofall
01-28-2008, 08:47 PM
He he he, I've gotten like 4 from trades, so I no longer needed him. I'm getting Storm Shadow from a trade too, so I left him.
I wanted to buy another Gung-Ho to do the Zartan mod... but I'll have to wait a while.
Xerofall

I've read that with a little modification, they can fit. I saw one on eBay a while back that was modified. That thing reminds me of the Colonial Marine drop ship from the Aliens movie.

Ok I stopped at the Riverdale and Centerville Targets today. Riverdale still has nothing worth reporting. Centerville has restocked with what looks like are parts of Wave 1 and 2. I am looking for Flash and the lastest Snake Eyes.
Xerofall
02-03-2008, 03:43 AM
TRU at State still had a W4 CC, GH and RB. Lots of comic packs.
Wal-Mart at Jordan Landing had Hooded CC and comic packs. They did have a Dragonhawk in the clearance section, but there wasn't a price on it... I'm curious.
The Wal-Mart at 3500 S. 5600 W. had the same peg warmers they've had since Christmas and about 9 Joe 5-packs STILL AT $17 BUCKS!!!
I thought they were supposed to be lowered to $5?

02-07-2008, 02:53 AM
Woot! The Wal-Mart on 5400 W. 6800 S. had a ton of wave 1-2-3 and a ton of comic packs.
Officers, Troopers, Stalkers, Red Ninjas, Serpys, Beachheads and Zartans... it was nice to see something besides Hooded Cobra Commander and Lady Jay.
I picked up three Officers, left all the rest of the Officers and Troopers.

Found wave 2 comic packs, two Dreadnoks and one Destro-Breaker and a few CGs at the ShopKo across the street from the State Street TRU. They are having a sale... buy two action figures get one free...
The only downside is their figures are $7.99 each, so they translate out to be about $5.33 each and the comic packs are $11.99, however with the sale, the comic packs come out to about $8 bucks each. Not bad...

I got busted opening up the boxes, but I managed to get one of each. Topedo, RR, Armor CC, Ace-WW, CG-Scar, Twins and SE-SS.
My wife thought were were going to get in trouble, but I told the employees that I was actually buying over $60 worth of product and they were like "well, okay."
The wave 2-08 were $5.44 however!!! @!$%!!!! WTF???
At least I'm caught up. :D

Redwood Target - Wave 9 all figures

The figures at JL Walmart all had warped cards so they are not good if you are looking for MOC. However, they are fine if you are going to open them. I purchased a couple of Torpedos since I missed him the first time around.

I got the wave 5 comic packs from the JL Target. They only had one set.
Drove to the K-mart on 5400 and Bangerter and saw all four vehicle packs, (HISS and Flight Pod) and a Tiger Force Flint. (They have their figures for $5.99)
Went to the Wal-Mart on 6300 S. and 5600 W. They had 2 of each DVD pack, some wave 9 straglers. Picked up a Hiss driver, a CC with element pod and another Viper, just to open...
I asked the cashier if they priced matched K-mart for $5.99, she said she would!!!!

They're about to get more... I'm returning my MOC vehicles. I decided that they look okay outside the box so I don't need two.
All I had to do was remove the plastic window, keep the plastic molds strapped to the box, and they display nicely.
Saves me a couple of bucks :D

I found a Snow Serpent at the Target on Redwood and 7000 S. Like usual the BAT was gone.
They are only getting (or putting out) one case at a time. I guess that's cool, helps our chances of getting a BAT or Snow Serpent if whoever finds them out doesn't get to buy just the BATs.
I would still like to get another BAT if someone sees one. I'm also looking for two Python Officers (Troopers.) One I'm going to custom into a real Officer and fix Hasbro's naming mistake.
Still waiting for the Target reset, unless they've already done it. They have plenty of Star Wars! :(

Sandy Target had all of wave 9 except BAT. I also went to the Toys R Us on State street and they had four cases of Wave 7. Hopefully this is good news as to Hasbro increasing distribution even though it was two waves back. I would love to see an increase in distribution since it seems I only see one wave at each store and never see that wave again. Also, the Walmart in Tooele had the new comic pacs. I passed on the Falcon - Nemesis and Destro (Gold head) - IG but picked up the Tripwire. I can't believe the price is still $9.97 on these when Target is pricing singles at $7.99.

1300 South Walmart has Wave 9. They had about 3 of each figure but no BATS. I picked up a Snow Serpent and they have one more Snow Serpent. They also had the new comic packs but no Falcon - Nemesis.
Xerofall
08-17-2008, 03:07 AM
Thanks for the heads up... I picked up a Destro/IG and a Tripwire/CC pack to open.
I also found two Copperhead/Shipwreck comic packs at Shopko. My wife wasn't too happy about the $12.99 price tag, but that's about what they're going for online and I'm just not seeing these at Wal-Mart.
She doesn't know that Shopko's price for single carded is $9.99!!!!!
XelaStratos

I have stopped going to Shopko. The price of a single card at 9.99 is outrageous. 12.99 for the comic packs is not too bad but still a little rich for my blood. I went to the sugarhouse TRU and they had one set of wave 7 and a TON of 3-packs with Cobra Commander. The walmart in Tooele had two cases of Wave 9. Finally scored a BAT!!! However, someone beat me to the other one but they had both Snow Serpents.
Xerofall
08-19-2008, 01:31 AM
Yeah they are a bit crazy with the $10 figures.
Wal-mart.com has the wave 4 comic packs online right now, with free site to store shipping (7-10 days)
I was able to pick up 2 of the Duke/Red Star and Firefly/Stormy packs... had I seen that before picking up the Copperhead/Shipwreck, I would've saved about $7 bucks. Oh well. I was able to get two more Doc stickers so I can get a third Doc before the cut-off, so it's okay.
Still looking for a second Nemesis/Falcon so I can open that bad boy!

TRU on State Street has the new GI Joe reset. I think there are 8-10 pegs. They only had Wave 7, with multiples of each but no Hiss Driver. They also had about 6-8 DVD packs, 1x Nighwatch set, 2x SE - Red Ninjas set, 1x Vamp, 2x Armadillo/Serpentor, 12 inch figures (these are horrible...I do not know why anyone would purchase these), old pegwarming comic packs.

I also want these planes. We will definitely have to post when we first see them as it seems once one Target gets them in the others will follow. I had a difficult time finding the 1st wave of Target vehicles, especially the AWE Striker. I do not want to miss the planes. I had them ordered from Target.com but it came to $65-70 for both which included shipping. I decided to cancel the order in hopes of finding them in store. We will see.

So the planes were a online exclusive?? That really sucks! Maybe they will stock them. I had a hard time finding the exclusive vehicles last time too. (I didn't even physically see the AWE striker!!)
Hey Xerofall, were the Platoon figures from 21st century toys? I'm a graphic designer & if they are from 21st we did the package artwork!! We do they're special edition plane art as well.

I don't think that the planes were an online exclusive even though they did say "online only". At least I hope not because I do not want to purchase them on ebay and pay an arm & a leg to get them. I read in some areas that the Target exclusives wave 1 vehicles went on clearance. How would that be?

Bad news about the Target exclusives. I have been checking the Target.com website and it said that they had them available in every Target except the Centerville and Riverdale store last night. I went this morning (11am) and went to the West Jordan store (70th & redwood) and they said had none. I visited guest services and she said it showed 4 at Sandy and 2 at Fort Union. I went to Sandy and they were all gone. I asked guest services there and they said it still showed 4 in there system but they checked in the backroom and there were none. I think someone had them hidden but I could not find any in the toy area. I called up Fort Union and they transferred me to the toys and the guy working there was a prick. He said I already told you this morning that we had none! I advised him I have never spoken with him and stated their computer said they had two and asked if he could check. He said they had none and would not help me further. I guess he is getting calls all the time on these. Definitely had some serious bad luck today. The computer said they had some in Orem but I was not going to drive all the way done there since I was on lunch. I hope they get some more shipments in or else we are all screwed. I do not want to go to ebay for these. Sorry for the long post but I am starting to get a little worried. Especially since I am looking forward to picking up the value pack of with the MOPAT and the HISS. Target exclusives are starting to piss me off. I think we have a serious scalper in the area.

So I have an extra conquest and rattlor. If you are interested, I will charge you $30 each. PM if interested and we can talk about getting them to you. I also went to the Walmart here in Tooele and they got two wave 9 revision cases with Flash & Bludd. I was able to pick up the two BATS. They had two Flash and 1 Bludd. I think they had two of all the other figures.

I saw the comic packs at Target for $8.00, the one at Jordan Landing sold out, so they substituted the figures and reduced them to $6.40 each.
I saw Flash and the usual wave 9 left-overs.
I think I saw that the sale ended today however, so I guess it's too late to do anything.

I have 5 of each and have reached my goal. I live in Texas and we have plenty, the catch is you will have to wait a couple weeks for me to bring them to you. Xerofall and I have traded in the past this way...I am not looking for profit. Cost plus tax is all I need. If you are looking for MISB, I have one case that has only been opened (the employees opened the case even though I assured them, there was one of each in the case) never taken out of the case.

Got Matt Trakker, Zartan, Flint and Airborn. No Eel or Scarlett, but I had a sneeky feeling they were in the back, the peg was only big enough to hold 5 figures. The 5th figure was a BAT, but I just bought one last week and don't really need any more. (Especially at $8.99 each.)

$68 bucks!!!! Ouch...
But it's a cool set, at first I freaked out... after I was heading to the register I saw Destro's hand with the sword was missing completely... it was just a stump... but I shook the box a bit and it popped out from underneith the Hiss Tank, lol...
Got it home and began opening it up... wow, what a lot of clear plastic, tape, rubber bands and twist ties!!!! Took me about an hour to free everything, seriously.
I tried to get the second set for someone here... but they would only get me one. But someone here should still be able to get it, as long as you have the DCPI number and ask nicely.
