Hey, I thought I would give a quick update for NE Wisconsin. I have yet to see a Vamp or Fury in the wild. I've seen the wave 2 Awe striker and Cobra Arctic vehicles though.
For anyone who is looking for Power Team Elite stuff, the Big Lots and Appleton still has quite a bit of stuff left. I was there yesterday and they had several Bombed out buildings, a couple F-18 Hornets, Several Rocket Helipcopter, Infantry Fighting Vehicles, and Hummers. I picked up some the Marine 3 figure packs(the Tank trap that is included in the set is awesome) and some of the Landing boat sets.
Also the TJ Maxx in Green Bay and Appleton have a crapload of Rise of Cobra stuff. There is very little 25th Anniversery stuff up here, the Big lots in Green Bay still has many of the $10 comic packs gathering dust.

Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. The TJ MAXX in Green bay got in some 25th stuff on tuesday. I picked up some IG/Viper comic packs, a couple BATS/ Bazooka troopers and RAM VS flight pod packs. I checked today and they still have some wave 11 figures, comic packs and several Firebats/SHarcs and a couple Vamps. The Big Lots next door still has comic packs for $10 and 2 Pilot Scarletts. That is about all of the 25th anniversery stuff that is left in Green Bay. Still no sign of a Vamp or Fury.

Which one of y'all hit the Madison TRU's POC pegs??? When I went in on Monday, there were 3 pegs full; today, 1 pegs worth only. They still do have plenty of Wave 2, and Quick Kicks (I got the last Spirit).

West side Marshall's has lots of HoH; I got the 2 Chrome faced Vipers (one of them the 'gold' variant).

Stopped at the TJ Maxx in Germantown, and Joes are getting cheap as all heck. $2.00 for 25th figures, $4.00 for ROC, and $7.00 for ROC Alpha vehicles. I even found a White coat Rex figure! Hot dog!

Couple updates
-TRU in Brookfield still had some Quickkick, no Spirit, though.
-I've been finding some HoH figures at local TJ Maxx's, picked up a Chromed Viper today.
-Still no sign of either Wave 2 Bravo vehicles. I might have to order the VAMP online pretty soon.

I'll second Crosshair's sentiment regarding ROSS. Too bad we don't have any. I don't have even have a Marshall's close to me. At least I have TJ MAXX and Big Lots. Also having 4 Family Dollars in the Green Bay area was cool when they had $3 joes.

Siegie1129

12-22-2010, 09:23 PM

No, I haven't seen any new 25th Joes at the Family Dollars in my area since July. One FD in town still has 2 Tripwires but that is it. Also, TRU raised the POC figures to 8.49 in Green Bay. They had a Quick Kick,Dusty and Arctic Destro

To be entirely honest, though, I can't recall the last time I found something new or exciting at TRU. Even my Spirit and Quick Kick were found by my cousin, who picked them up for me. Every time I make the 25 mile drive to the one TRU left in my area, they disappoint me by having a completely shitty selection.

Hey guys, I found PoC wave 3 at the Target in Sun Prairie this morning. I grabbed Duke, Snake Eyes and 2 Cobra Shock Troopers for myself. I also picked up some figures for a Tanker in Germany. There were at least 5 of each figure still on the pegs as of 20 minutes ago.

Hey, Crosshair, don't forget to look on front or back endcaps for the wave 3 figures. The Targets in Green Bay had them last week on an endcap displayed with Star Wars figures. No other stores in my area have recieved wave 3 yet. Still no Vamps/Furys either.

That's interesting. I think its probably leftover stock from any TRU expresses in your area. I spoke with one of the managers at my TRU and when they closed the TRU express in Green Bay earlier this month they brought over the overstock and put it on the shelves at the TRU in Green Bay. They didn't even bother to take off some the TRU Express price stickers. So now my TRU has $79.99 Clone Wars Y-Wings left over from the TRU express. BTW, did anyone notice that TRU jacked up their prices?

Crosshair

01-24-2011, 09:14 AM

Found Alley Vipers in store for the first time since the first appearance of Wave 1. Must have been a refresh case. Picked up a Firefly for myself, figured I'd pop one of the two heads on Wave 4 Destro to make a SAW Viper.

Also, I ordered the VAMP off Amazon, I'm excited to put it together and sticker it up tonight!

nickvree

01-30-2011, 04:21 PM

Yeah, I saw the FLAK/CLAW set at the TRU yesterday too and thought it was strange.

there are CCs hanging on the pegs of the Fitchburg and West side Madison Targets, nothing else spectacular though. Excited for Wave 4 to get here since I didn't order any online.

Crosshair

02-01-2011, 09:22 AM

Stopped at Wal-Mart last night to pick up more of those clear plastic fishing lure cases (they work perfect for storing loose Joes) and found a couple revision cases. There was probably 4-5 Alley Vipers and a whole peg of Firefly from Wave 1. Anybody that couldn't find them the first time around should keep your eyes open.

Sgt Humpty

02-02-2011, 08:15 PM

hey SgtHumpty, what brand of paint do you use for your customs? And where do you get custom supplies in Madison?

Nick - I use mostly Testors paints and sealants. Occasionally, I used Polly Scale, Folk Art or Apple Barrel if they have a unique color that I'd rather not try mixing. I usually get my supplies at Michaels on the east side. Occasionally, I will also get stuff at Hobby Horse (on East Washington Avenue, across from Office Depot). They specialize in model railroad, R/C vehicles all types of model building. They have a lot of cool diorama stuff and a wide variety of paints. I'd be happy to show you around my workshop if you're thinking of getting into customizing.

Hey Guys,
Checking in from Titletown. WAY TO GO PACK!
It's a GI JOE wasteland here in the Green Bay area. Both Targets got in a case of revision cases with an Alley Viper. No restocks of Wave 3 yet and still no sign of the Vamp or Fury.
The TJ MAXX in my area did get some Super Bowl 45 collectibles if any of you are interested in comemerating the Packers victory over the Steelers.
The TRU in Green Bay got in some new Star Wars stuff, the Endor Pilot packs and remnants of the latest wave of Clone Wars figures, and two POC mech suits and some ROC figures

Sgt Humpty

03-06-2011, 12:38 AM

Still no sign of PoC wave 4 in Sun Prairie.

All of the Joe stuff at the Sun Prairie WalMart has been moved to a rear-facing endcap. Figures are priced at $6.96, so they aren't marked for clearance yet, but I'll keep checking. There have been reports of WalMarts getting rid of their PoC Joes for under $4 each. I've got what I want/need in terms of complete PoC figures, but at clearance prices I couldn't pass up the quality fodder!

Also, I still have quite a bit of that vintage collection I'm selling for my friend. There's still a lot of good stuff in there and no reasonable offer will be refused (not looking to get rich, just want to sell his stuff for a fair price). Any of you that live in or near Dane County are close enough to me that you could skip the whole shipping issue. Take a peek at my BST (http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-buy-sell-trade/95800-sgt-humptys-b-s-t-thread.html) for details. Thanks!

I haven't seen Wave 4 yet in Green Bay. I finally broke down and picked up a wave 4 set at BBTS. I also got the Rage(fury) and Black HISS on Ebay. The Wal-Marts in my area still have GI JOE Stuff at regular price.

Crosshair

03-06-2011, 02:47 PM

Yep, still no sign of Wave 4 down in the Milwaukee area. Haven't seen anything clearance-wise at Wal-Mart yet, but I'd like to pick up some spare Dukes, Beachheads, Dustys, and Recondos for parts and customs if they suddenly get cheap.

Siegie1129

03-10-2011, 08:51 PM

I found Wave 4 at TRU in Green bay today. Only one case and no other new Joe items. The TJ Maxx in Green Bay hasn't stocked any new Joe stuff in weeks.

Siegie1129

03-12-2011, 03:07 AM

The Wal-Marts in Green Bay are getting rid of their Joes. The East Side Wal-Mart did not carry POC stuff but the East and De Pere ones did. All three stores did their re-sets of the Action figure aisle and no Joes to be seen. The East side Wal-Mart marked down the POC figures to $4 each and POC Alpha vehicles to $10 each. The De Pere Wal-mart had 3 figures left and a couple Alpha vehicles but they were not marked down. The East side Wal-Mart had their POC stuff marked down. I finally picked up a Cobra Commander, 2 Jungle Vipers and 3 of Motorcycles for my Dreadnocks. Now Green Bay is down to 3 stores that carry GI JOE(2 Targets and TRU).
I did see at least 2 Dustys and no Beach Head. PM me anyone is interested in the Dustys for parts. I'd be happy to pick them up for someone.

Crosshair

03-17-2011, 10:45 AM

Wal-Mart in Brown Deer has all of their Joe stuff in the Clearance section. They only had 2 POC figures that I could find, but neither were on clearance. Same with the POC Mechs They had ROC Alpha and Bravo vehicles as well, they were marked down $5 each.

I stopped at the nearby Toys R Us, and they didn't have ANY POC figures, which was very surprising. They still had some leftover ROC figures, though. I'm hoping they'll get some POC Wave 3 or 4 figures in for replenishment.

Crosshair

03-21-2011, 02:35 PM

Not sure if anyone is into Iron Man 2 figures, but Kohl's has them on Clearance for $3.50. Picked up a movie War Machine, very cool figure!

Also, went to a Kmart over the weekend and they didn't have any Joes. No good :(

I'm going to be staying in Brookfield this weekend for an event that my wife is going to. I plan on going to the TJ MAXX, TRU and MARSHALLS(first time I've been to a MARSHALLS). I'm going to look up a Target too but are there any good comic shops/collectible type stores in the Brookfield area? Thanks for any help.

Good luck with the TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores. I visited the ones in Brookfield a few weeks ago and they were pretty barren of Joes. Maybe they've got something new in by now, though. I can't vouch for any of the toy shops in the area, but Collector's Edge Comics on Burleigh is a pretty good local chain. PM me if you want any details about places to eat, etc!

Siegie1129

04-06-2011, 01:11 AM

Thanks for the info Crosshair. I just go back from my trip to Brookfield. Wife and I had Uno's Pizza which was good and we went to the Dave & Busters by the Mayfair mall. We've been to D&B quite a bit and always have fun there.
We drove to Brookfield on Hwy 41 and went back home on Hwy 43 so I could hit different stores along the way.(my wife is understanding of my habit).
I posted the pic on the April Hauls section but I was happy with what I found. Found more stuff outside of the Milwaukee area but I expected that. Here's what I found:
1/18 weapons sets at Gordman's in Appleton,
Vamp and Ice Viper at the TJ Maxx in Appleton,
RAM/Flight Pod, Rock'n'roll/Deep Six Comic pack and an opened Cobra Bazooka Trooper at the TJ Maxx in Fond Du Lac.
Ice Viper and Viper/IG comic pack at the TJ Maxx on 17460 Bluemound in Brookfield.
Clone Trooper Jesse and speeder at the Target on Capitol In Milwakee.
I did hit a Marshalls on Capitol Driver in Milwaukee. Nice store, looked like it opened recently. I found some 25th figures. They have a very small toy section though. Didn't find anything at TJ Maxx in Milwaukee and Sheboygan. Overall a good trip

Yeah, I was surprised to see them at Gordman's. It is hit or miss at Gordman's. I found some Canadian 25th Joes about a year and a half ago and that is about it. There is a second Gordman's in Appleton that I did not go to. If I get there in the next couple weeks, I can check for the 1/18th weapons set for you if your are interested in any.

Also, We ran into a Gilles restaurant by accident on Bluemound in Brookfield and had lunch there after my wife's concert. I had one of the best burgers ever there. Wow is all I can say. We have a Gilly's in Green Bay and they are similar but not the same. I'll remember where they are next time I'm in Brookfield.

This morning's hunt:

Target (Sun Prairie):
- 8x PoC Arctic Destro
- 1x PoC Dusty
- 1x PoC Doom Cycle
- 1x PoC Ghost Hawk
- 1x PoC Ice Cutter
- 1x PoC AWE Striker
- 2x PoC Cobra Deviant

WalMart (Sun Prairie):
- 10x PoC Arctic Destro
- 5x PoC Desert Storm Shadow
- 5x PoC Tornado Kick Snake Eyes
- 1x PoC Dusty
- 2x PoC Firefly
- 6x PoC Ice Cutter

WalMart (East Madison):
- 1x PoC Arctic Destro
- 2x PoC Ghost Hawk
- 7x RoC Cobra Gunship (at $24.88, no less - seriously???)

So, in a nutshell, I found jack shit. If those damn RoC Gunships had been clearance priced, I would have bought two of them (I have a plan to convert them into Iron Grenadier troop transports).

I saw all of PoC wave 3 once, on the first day it was reported at HissTank. Nothing since then. Has anyone seen PoC wave 4 in Wisconsin yet? I'm starting to get a bit pissed.

[QUOTE=Crosshair;2454107]If you do find anymore (are they BBI?) I'd probably be interested.

The Weapons sets are 1/18th scale and called Elite Forces. They are manufactured by Blue Box Toys.

Also, here is my store report for the Green Bay area:

All of the Wal-Marts do not have GI JOE stuff anymore. The DePere store has an Arctic Destro and 2 Tornado Kick Snake Eyes.
Target on the East side has Wave 2 pegwarmers. Target West side got in a revision case with some wave 4 last week but it is gone.
TRU got in 1 case of Wave 4 about 3 weeks ago and it is long gone.
TJ MAXX has no joes and Big lots still has some comic packs for $10.
Picking is pretty slim. Glad I got Wave 4 last month from BBTS and I broke down and preordered wave 5/6 from HTS.

Ah yes, I remember picking up a set of those back during the JvsC era. Quite well sculpted weapons!

And I'm with you, I've taken to ordering a case of every wave on SmallJoes. Afterwards I'll visit stores if I need extra figures, but relying on stores to actually get in stock (without getting picked over before I get there) is too much of a gamble.

Crosshair

Found a Low Light at Wal-Greens, but at $11.99 I think I'll pass. Also found remnants of a revision wave at the Target in Greenfield. Only thing of interest was Sky Dive, but there's an abundance of AV and Shock Troopers too. Good to see!

Just started seeing $hitloads of Wave 4 in Western WI. Strange because at the Targets (there are two and they're about 70 miles apart) it seemed like two weeks ago, all the Waves 1-3 disappeared in just a few days. Wonder if this means we'll see Wave 5 in May.

I spotted this post yesterday in a different thread. Are any of you guys seeing this yet?

I have not. I'll keep an eye open, though. Target has Joes on sale this week for $6.99. Went to a Shopko last week and they didn't have an POC figure, though they had an entire section devoted to CORPS. It was about 4 feet wide with figures and vehicles galore.

I saw that CORPS display at the Monona Shopko also. I thought it quite strange.

Today the Madison area is horrible for Joe's. The only thing of note is I picked up the last Shock Trooper from the Fitchburg Target, but left an Alley Viper there. Also they had about 4 Jungle Vipers and the rest of the wave 3 line. Otherwise, Madison East Target, East Wal-mart, Toys-R-Us, all had nothing or only Artic Destros.

TRU also has 2 for $10.99 for Friday and Saturday. I don't expect we'll have Wave 6 as it just hit the West Coast, but it looks like they might be trying to clear out old stock before some new stuff comes in, hopefully.

I was there like 4 days ago (I even posted it) and there was no lowlight. I picked up a st then and left an alley viper. I need that lowlight I have been searching for one since they were released.

The card was a little bent, so he might still be there. The Skydive I bought had a bent card and I just assumed that's why they were still there. I open everything, so I didn't care about a bent card.

I agree it is a rush finding the figures in the wild. Problem is, In April when I ordered the case only 3 stores in Green Bay were carrying Joes and they were not restocking. I figured I'd get a case in case the waves didn't hit Green Bay.
Vamps and Fury's never hit Green Bay so I had to get them online.

It's sounding like a broken record but the Green Bay area is devoid of any new Joes.
Both targets have wave 2/3 leftovers.
The TRU doesn't even have a spot for Joes. I asked an employee yesterday if they were ever going to get any Joes in and he looked it up in the computer and found that there should be 8 figures on the sales floor but he could not locate them. The TRU employee did not know when/if they were getting any Joes.
The GB East and Depere Walmarts have nice shiny empty pegs for joes. The gal at the GB East store told me they were not getting any joes in. (funny as they never did get any in the first place).
The TJ Maxx and Big lots in GB haven't got in any new closeout Joe stuff. For Big Lots, I'm hoping they get a Power Team Elite restock in August.

We left them all hanging there for now, as I don't expect they're going to be difficult to find. The further we went from home, the less we found.

As for things we don't collect, those were (of course) in abundance - we spotted several WalMart MU Frost Giant packs, as well as the wave 2 CA figs. Toys R Us and the WalMart on Madison's West side both had the newer MU comic packs.

There were also still a few Arctic Destro, Dusty, Tornado Kick Snake Eyes and Desert Storm Shadow hanging around.

For the MU collectors, I saw Thanos, Yellowjacket with Ant-Man, Dark Hawkeye, Ghost Rider, Iron Spider Man, Wrecker, Colossus, Constrictor, Team X Wolverine, Spider Woman, Spider Man, Juggernaut and a few different versions of Iron Man. There were also 2 of the Wolverine/Silver Samurai comic packs and 2 each of the Goliath/Thor and Loki/Frost Giant packs.

I haven't seen any new Joe Stuff at the Green Bay TRU, Targets or Wal Marts. Target is marking some of their stuff down. THe alpha vehicles and Mech suits were on 2nd markdown, 50% off. Only thing I got at Target were a couple of the Clone Wars Battle Droid/ARF Trooper packs at 1/2 off.

I've found the POC mechs at a few TJ Maxxs now, and I stopped at a Tuesday Morning the other day and found the ROC Wave 3 Alpha vehicles. Picked up this guy: http://generalsjoes.com/reviews/2010/rise_of_cobra/vehicles/alpha/polarshark.html

Siegie1129

07-22-2011, 07:53 PM

The mechs actually sold out at the TJ MAXX in Green Bay. We don't have a Tuesday morning nearby anymore but that is a cool score.

I did find some Clone Wars Figure/Vehicle packs at TJ MAXX for 9.99, not a bad price so picked up a couple packs I was missing.

Still no Skystriker in Green Bay

SKYSTRIKERS ARE IN STOCK AT BOTH GREEN BAY TARGETS.

They did thier reset today. I picked up one. There were 2 on the west side and 3 on the east side as of 9am this morning. Still no new figures. only the wave 4 revision cases.

and with "limited stock"
Delafield
Sun Prairie

Just an FYI, but even if they're listed as "in stock" they might not be on the shelves yet. Some of the stores are taking their time with the reset, and none of them would go in the back to see if the Skystriker was actually there :(

Anyway, I did find 2 at the New Berlin Target, but left 1 on the shelf for someone else. They also had some of the Captain America repaints (Jungle Cap, I think?) and Assassin's Creed figures as well.

In case anyone is interested, The Big Lots in Green Bay got in their first shipment of Power Team Elite stuff. No planes or playsets which was a bummer but they did get in the following:
Hummers
Watchtowers (green and tan(new))
3 figure packs
1 figure plus accessories packs
patrol boat
Chinese Tank
Fast attack vehicles

So stock up at your local Big lots.

Also it looks like the TJ MAXX are getting 25th Anniversery stuff in. Saw the remnants of the BAT/Wraith wave(no clear) and vehicles(Vamp,Firebat,and Sharc)

No sign of any wave 5/6 figures.

I asked cs at the dodgeville wm if they'll ever carry Joes and she said near christmas. When I first started going there, they did have RoC figs on clearance, and I'm pretty sure the peg said 9.97. Which to this day I still don't understand. And I've seen it at several wm's like that. Here's hopin they get some good stuff, but I'll probably be caught up by the time they get anything in.

Madison's Eastside Wal-Mart had a case of the 30th carded figures - I grabbed the IG's, a viper, and a hazard viper. Of course they weren't in the system and after a few minutes of waiting at the register for the Toy Manager - they offered them to me at $4.97 each! I wish I had grabbed more, but I was also buying one of the four Masterworks Sentinels they had on the shelf!

Nothing else new. I keep hoping for the Warriors Three and Sif from the Thor line as well as the Hydra Soldiers from the Cap America line, but no luck. I suppose I'll have to turn to eBay for those. :(

So I got a chance to shoot out to Madtown and as I'm walkin the store to the toy aisle I see a guy who has about 5 Joes in hand and I knew it was gonna be bad when I hit the aisle. Only 30th left were Stalker, a Trooper, and a Steel Brigade. I grabbed all three. I called before I came out here too and the guy said they had Viper and Hazard Viper. I wish I had gotten out here sooner. It actually kinda pisses me off that I missed them by such a short time frame. Seriously , a few minutes earlier and i'd have had a better selection. If the guy who got them is a tanker, enjoy them.

I just got back from that Walmart!

I grabbed the figures I needed from the Falcon Wave (MU) - Scarlet Spider, Skarr, Dr. Strange - and Dr. Doom, though I'm not sure if I'm keeping him.

They didn't have any 30th left - just a couple of POC Dukes and Beachheads... 1 Night Viper I think.

On the way out I saw the Gigantic Battle packs with Goliath (black) and Thor Clone marked down to $17. I would have picked up more Frost Giant packs at that price, but they are sold out. They had some Masterworks Sentinels as well at $54.

But - in the clearance away from the toy department I found a lone Green Lantern DCUC figure - it was the wave 2 3-pack with Green Lantern B'DG, Despotellis, and Dex-Starr for $9. I grabbed that to through in with my 4 inch DC stuff as they all fit in well enough IMO.

No problem, glad you found what you wanted. I like the new Doom. If you want the Frost Giant set, the wm in either Monroe or Beloit had it a few weeks ago at that price. I only wanted Loki, and didn't wanna pay that price for just him, so I passed.

If you find a Frost Giant or two at $17 - pick them up! I'll let you keep one of the Loki figures just for your trouble! Though with the weight of these figures shipping might just be enough that there isn't much difference in price! I dunno.... If you find them and want to pick them up - I'll pay ya for them and whatever cheapest shipping you can manage. I would want just the Frost Giants and Loki if you get more than one - no packaging or anything.

I have a report from my wife! She was at the Johnson Creek outlet mall and saw that TRU Express is in the process of setting up again! She said the location moved down to the far side (where Two Loons Cafe used to be by Carter's and Children's Place). She said the store front was coming in to place and that they have "now hiring signs" all over but it doesn't look like the store is close to set up yet.

These types of stores set up practically overnight so I'm willing to bet that they'll be open around the end of the month or beginning of October. Very exciting! I'll post follow-up reports as I see new developments.

Wal-Mart East in Madison has a Black Dragon and Vamp II on the shelf. There are a few Beachheads, Dukes, and Jungle Vipers, but not much else.

They got in a few DCUC Crime Syndicate 5-packs, many of the various DC Universe 6-inch lines from Mattel, 2 Masterworks Sentinels, and of course are over-flowing with Green Lantern movie crap.

What other lines do you fellow Wisconsinites collect? I stick to the 4-inch (1:16, 1:18) type scale. I like Marvel Universe, Thor/Captain America/Spider-Man lines. I am a little sickened by the Green Lantern offerings, but if they produce comic-based figures I'd be all of that. Of course GI Joe is the mainstay, hence why I'm here really.

I pick up some 4 inch figures here and there like you (got MU Cable and Bleeding Edge armor Iron Man), and during the summer I started picking up some random figures here and there to fill the Joe lull. Some of the Halo: Reach figures are really cool, and the Transformers Classics like Kup and Jazz are quite cool as well.

I hit plenty of them, I couldn't really tell you which. But I still have the receipts, so I can tell you the phone numbers of which ones I bought stuff at. The two WMs were 967-7804 and 445-3930. The TRU I hit, which had plenty of 30th, was 355-4110.

Lol, really? I found both vehicles at the WM you said they were at lol. The number for that store is the second WM phone number. Those were the only 2 I saw on my hunt. I hit the aisle hard hopin to spot the Vamp first, but only saw the Black Dragon. I was like oh no lol. But then I turned around and saw the Vamp on another shelf.

I should've left some. I opened some of what I wanted, but there's still a couple more I need to. Some of them are being used in trades that just got set up. Judging by what I still need to open and what is still to be used for trade bait, I would've been able to leave a few figures.

Here's your best bet for what figures are in what waves. G.I. Joe: Pursuit of Cobra Review Page | Generals Joes - A blog about the importance (or unimportance) of little plastic men (http://generalsjoes.com/g-i-joe-pursuit-of-cobra-review-page/) Not sure when they were released, though.

I live outside of Green Bay in Howard

Also, if you are looking for information on the different waves of GI JOES, I think yojoe.com has a list.

I was in La Crosse for a wedding this weekend, stopped into the TRU today. They had 2 IGs and two Steel Brigade on the pegs, and 1 VAMP. Looks like there's some collectors in the area :)

I passed through Beaver Dam today, on the way to visit the in-laws in Waupun. Evidently, there is no demand for Joes in Beaver Dam as they did not even have pegs for them.

wave 1 or wave 3?

Wave 1. I either read or saw it in one of the shipping revision cases. Don't know if I might of mistaken it for the one in wave 3 or not.

I grabbed a Steel Brigade Trooper and a Hazard Viper at the Madison TRU this afternoon.

When I left, they still had 1 Stalker, 2 Cobra Troopers, 1 Hazard Viper, 1 Iron Grenadier, 1 Steel Brigade Trooper, 3 or 4 Black Dragon VTOL's and a few Skystrikers.

The Green Bay area is picking up with GI JOE Stuff.
Was at Wal-Mart Depere tonight and they got 30th Ann Wave 2 in, first time I've seen it in the wild. Saw the entire wave but passed on it. They also had 2 vamps and VTOL jets.
Wal-Mart West has a few straggler Wave 1 figs and 2 VTOL jets, East Side Wal-Mart surprisingly has about 15-20 Wave 1 figs(Hazard Viper, IG, Stalker, and Cobra Trooper). They also got in a case of Vamps/VTOL jet.
Target and TRU have not got in any Wave 1 figures.
TJ MAXX got in some common ROC figures by the registers
And finally, Big Lots hasn't had new Joe stuff in over a year but they got thier second shipment of Power Team Elite stuff. No jets but they did get in the Bombed out Building, Infantry Fighting Vehicle and more Little Bird Helicopters.

The hope, really, is that with Christmas resets coming up and the Holiday shopping season in general that we'll be flooded with product. I can't wait!

I hoped over to TRU (Madison). They didn't have much, but they did have that new quasi-C130 Transport plane from power elite or whoever. It's only $39.99! However, it's so big that I literally don't have a place to even put it boxed right now. I'm sure it'll be around for a while so I'll get it eventually.

Still keeping my eyes open for the J-10 from Power Team Elite. Has that been spotted in the states yet?

No, I have not seen any PTE Jets yet. It would be great if the J-10 hit the states. I may break down and order one from the UK

I saw the Transport Plane too at TRU, the thing is huge

It really is enormous. The TRU in Brookfield has it out on display hanging from the ceiling and it's just massive.

I was walking out of the action figure area on my way out of the store (having scored some recent Marvel Universe figures - Darkhawk and Commander Rogers). I almost didn't see them because they were on the top of an endcap. I stopped, looking up with my eyes wide and my jaw dropped. I reached up reflexively to grab a box, when I took in just how big that box is. I stood there with my arms literally out-stretched for a moment before I lowered them self-consciously. I imagined the precarious balancing act it would have propped on top of the stack of other unopened toys in my basement and I simply couldn't do it. I have no fear that it will be there for a while though.

As for the J-10. I want 3 of those bastards and I would buy them the second I saw them. Any idea how much they are with shipping from the UK or where to get them? I haven't looked into that option.
