I was looking at acrylic display cases for my 82-86 Joes online...you guys know the cases that hold like 25 figures. Does anyone have these? If you do, what website or company do you recommend?

No kidding. I had to resort to breaking into an open box in the Woodbridge Wal-Mart to get the wave 4 comic packs. And those have been out for a while.

Well I have no problem with anyone buying extras but all I'm saying is if you see any now. Now that you have a boat load. Can you help us out. That's what this topic is here for. It's not here for you to say, "Hey I found all of wave # whatever and if you want any of them you can buy them from me @ $10.00 per Figure". I'm sorry if this sounds like I'm pissed off but I'm not. It's just that I'm a little frustrated because it's getting harder and harder to find these and your not helping us here. Again I'm really sorry if this sounds like fighting words...:)

I pretty much check Jackson/ Freehold/Howell/Toms River and Eatontown because where I work at I drive those areas everyday, but I have friends that also check for me in the North side of Jersey for me and for themself's. Me and another member from here search pretty much everyday searching for whatever is new and we have found absolutely nothing. Just our luck. But the cool thing about it is that we don't try to sell the stuff we help each other find what we don't have and we buy it for each other. Not to make an extra buck but to help each other out. That's what this section is all about. New Jersey Sighting It's to help those find what they don't have. To tell you the truth if there was a member here that needed something and they been searching like crazy for it and they still can't find it, but I know where there is one, I would ask him or her privately or in the open if they want me to buy it for them or even hide it for them and I would let them know where they could find it so they could buy it. I know everyone is always looking to make an extra buck but sometimes it's easier to just make friends instead of customers.

If you needed something all you had to do was ask and most likely i wouldve traded or bought it for you at the retail price n have you pick it up like ive done with 5-8 other tankers here...but nevermind you are right and this is "gi joe sightings" and i wont put my gloating 2 cents in anymore.

So, if one of us asked you to pick up something or if you would part with a character that you might have many of for regular retail price you would consider doing it?

I feel your pain. My family and I are on the verge of buying our first home. Also, check out an online store called the outer limits. I love the Joe hunt but, I have resorted to buying characters one-by-one online.
Maybe the guys at the Comic Book shop on Rt. 9 can help you out.
If I could, I'd pick up extra stuff for ya!

Of course..i mean if you want to drive to rahway and get it im fine with that.In the end it its just a "toy",at least im not hiding stuff in stores and running to the toy section and such (pretty lame) i buy them all and thats that. I support my hobby by doing what i do and yes i would sell an extra vehicle/figure if i had more than one at the retail i buy em for which is 7.99 or 15.99 for the new vehicles if again they just ask via pm and not get all "wa wa leave some for us and boo hoo hide me some...(come on dudes seriously.) Im gonna go out and post "come get figures from me at 7.99 now!",,,thats just dangerous and creepy man. Laters Gators

Just got back from a little hunt. I definitely don't drive as far as I used to - with the price of gas, I might as well spend ebay prices and get something rather than waste a tank for nothing. Competition to get the fresh wave in my area seems to be getting stiffer, good thing I am pre-ordered at BBTS for the foreseeable future

After finding an annoying amount of W9 wild bills, I came across a full w9 minus BAT and Hawk and picked it up. First time I have seen any W9 at retail, aside from Ninja Ku. Saw two cases of vehicles at Walmart, picked up a HISS and RAM/Bubble. No signs of the DVD packs yet, but they are on the horizon.

Hey Castro, Vega, & Unclassified...
Thanks for offering all of your help. I'm afraid that if I post a list of what I am looking for you will all laugh at me. I'm not doing vehicles, just the characters I had as a kid that are still in my parents attic. I would love to trade but I don't have extras - but I would pay you what you retail plus shipping...But, only if you have extras.
The problem is that I am a teacher and my summer time salary is much different from my school year salary. So, I have to wait until September to start again...
Again, your kindness is appreciated and I hope that I can help you guys out anyway I can...

I know this is the Joe forum. But if anyone finds a Mighty Muggs Black spider-man (series 3) or Venom (series 2). I will buy it from you or trade you extra Joes for them. They are 9.99 at wal-mart, not sure how much they are at k-mart and target.

Also the Walmart in Hamilton had 1 beachhead and 1 zartan today. I think someone returned them. I check there a few times a week and they have had the same peg hangers for a few weeks now.

Hey Guys, new to hisstank and New Jersey. Moved here from PA. Any how I am wondering if you guys can help. I am a casual collector of the 25th line. I just get the figs I liked as a kid, mostly the cobra ones. I am trying to get caught up since moving. I still need wave 8 Commander, Baroness, Snake Eyes, Python Trooper and Bludd before I go looking for a Bat. The only one I have seen from that wave was Roadblock and I don't even want him. I can't believe the mass device cobra commander is not pegwarming!! I am also wondering what stores get a good selection of Joes. I've been to some Walmarts, Targets, and Toys R Us, but most have been dry or full of wave 7. I am in the south jersey area. If any one can help I greatly appreciate it.

Hey! Welcome to the Tank & Jersey!

I find most of my stuff at the Targets. I'm more central Jersey, so I go to Rockaway, East Hanover, and Morris Knolls.

I've also gotten good stuff at the East Brunswick TRU & the Milltown Target.

Wal-Mart is hit or miss for me, mostly better for the comic packs.

TRU is just starting to join the party.

Good luck!

welcome aboard! like most places around the country, i would say that SJ retail is pretty hit or miss, with no real rhyme or reason as to where/when to find Joes. for me, it's always just seemed like sheer luck. personally, i think i have had slightly more luck finding figures at Wal-Marts than Targets. as for ones that seem to get more new product... that is tough to say. but, i can definitely say that some seem to almost never have anything: the three stores in Burlington City (Target, TRU and Wal-Mart), Marlton Target, Berlin Wal-Mart, Lumberton Wal-Mart. I don't think I have ever bought a single figure from any of those stores. maybe others have had better luck there. i'll keep an eye out for the figures you're looking for, also.

Black Adder
07-21-2008, 07:18 PM
Thanks guys. It seems wave 8 as all but vanished. I have seen a little of wave 9, mostly the Wild Bill without the 25th logo. I still like to hunt occasionally so hopefully they will turn up. I figure everyone is looking for wave 9 and the new vechicles, so maybe wave 8 will start pegwarming.

whereabouts are you located? farther south, i imagine. I always hear that Voorhees Target gets decent distro, although i have had no luck there myself. Deptford Target and TRU have always been busts for me as well. i made my first wave 7 score at the Turnersville WM, but haven't found much there since. the other places in that general area have been, as i mentioned earlier, pretty hit-and-miss for me. hope this is helpful for you. and like i said, i wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket... just keep checking around at various places when you have a chance.

Black Adder
07-21-2008, 08:56 PM
I'm in the Williamstown area. I do recall stopping at either a WM or a Target in Turnersville a while back. Thats where I saw the wave 8 Roadblocks. Its funny, wave 7 is overloading some stores here and in PA the last time I was there anyway, but not wave 8. I do intend to keep checking around just not on a regular basis because of gas. If you guys want I will post my findings on here when I can. Is anyone looking for anything in particular or is everyone caught up?

Welcome Black Adder.

I found the battle packs tonight at Target - seems they started the resets. A bunch of new Star Wars stuff and they seemed to spread the Joes out a bit more - at least an additional row of pegs. Hopefully they intend to fill them! I also picked up another HISS tank, looked like a pretty beat up package.

I thought you found a bunch of wave 9 figures at Burlington and Marlton? This si what you said a few weeks back:

saw a bunch of wave 9 this morning. 2 full cases at Wal-Marts in Burlington and Marlton (i bought only a Ninja-Ku for a fellow tanker). Cherry Hill also looked like it had 2 cases, but somebody cleaned out all but Torpedo and Wild Bill. no evidence of wave 9 hitting any Targets in the area yet.

I was amazed that you said you found stuff at Burlington becuase I NEVER see anything there, EVERY and I stop everyday on my way to work. That place has one dude that cleans everything out, GI Joe, SW, Hot Wheels, Batman, Transformers, etc. Saw this dude the other day, 5 minutes before the store opened mind you, walk out with bage full of GI Joe vehicles, Hot Wheels, and Batman Figures (Jokers and Scarecrows). Thats not you is it?

no, that's definitely not me. i collect Joes exclusively, and occasionally pick up a SW figure or two for a friend. i wouldn't buy a Hot Wheels or Batman item if it came packed with a brick of gold (no offense to anyone who collects these things). i do find stuff sometimes at the Marlton Wal-mart (on Rt. 70), but i don't think i have ever seen anything decent at the Marlton Target (on Rt 73), as i said in the quoted statement. as you reminded me just now, i did find some wave 9 at Burlington WM, but i didn't buy any from there (also see quoted statement).

anyway, my point has been from the start that it's impossible to pinpoint one store or group of stores as being better to frequent than others. you might get lucky anywhere, so try 'em all!

Really, when did you go to the Voorhees Target? I got there at 10 am and there was no DVD sets. None in the backroom either. I did get 3 of the vehicle sets, still need the one with Breaker/RAM and Televiper/FlightPod.

The Burlington store had 4 sets as of 2:00, those I did not buy.

Target Middletown has HISS, Ram/Trouble Bubble, Armadillo/Chariot.

didn't ask for the DVD packs cause i got them but if someone needs them lmk and i'll check. also i can get anything you guys need price of cost. just lmk.

Nothing like helping a Joe collector complete his collection and network a little.

Target Middletown has HISS, Ram/Trouble Bubble, Armadillo/Chariot.

didn't ask for the DVD packs cause i got them but if someone needs them lmk and i'll check. also i can get anything you guys need price of cost. just lmk.

Nothing like helping a Joe collector complete his collection and network a little.

Nice gesture dude! This is what this board is about!

Also, the DVD packs are at multiple Targets in PA and South Jersey and have been for 2 days now.... not going to be hard to find in due time. Just like the TRU battle packs.

I found another set of DVD packs at the target close to my house tonight(East Brunswick). Strange - it was missing the Vamp just like the Target Tuga was at. Sounds like a conspiracy

I did check out that store about a month ago. They had a few figures at about $20 a pop, a couple sets of the Target vehicles for around $95. Also had some moviemasters Jokers for about $175. There was alot of other collectables, but a little to rich for my blood.

It's nice to find an out-of-the way Walmart which stocks later than the others. I found 3 cases of W9. Took the BATS and one snow serpent.

It does seem Target and Walmart are stocking items more frequently. Maybe not the items we want to see or as frequently as we'd want to buy them, but I am seeing more than the same pegwarmers I have seen for the past half year.

While I am waiting for the next wave, I am getting hooked on building a clone army.... They are a heck of a lot easier to find!

Just happened to catch it out of the corner of my eye. I think an employee hid it, since the only one on the pegs yesterday was Tripwire/CC and there were none today from wave 5.

I am not having too much luck here in central NJ. The closest TRU appears to be moving, and in preparation don't seem to be restocking (in fact their overpriced action figures are all 10% off - for whatever they have). So no greenshirts or siegies. No sign of any exclusives at the nearby Targets so either they havent shown yet or I missed the boat on the first round. Hopefully they will have a good stock replenishment at Target - those things (especially the rattlers) will sell.

Sicklerville had NO single figs, Deptford I'm pretty sure I've seen w9 and I know I've seen one of the revision cases (the one with the HISS driver and R&R). I remember seeing a TF Flint on the front of a peg, he was also in a recent revision I believe. I didn't check through them as I'm caught up through w9.

BBTS is a little pricey, but cheaper than filling my car with gas while hunting. I usually let my pile of loot build up a little and cancel out if I find stuff cheaper elsewhere. But I like to have the reserves to satisfy my Joe fix

I do the same thing. Unfortunately that means my PoL just sits and sits and sits... I know if I'm patient I'll prolly find what I need without hitting the stores every day.

No fedex shipment at my door today, maybe Monday I'll see the Firebat/Sharc from GIJCC. I was surprised when I found the FANG/AWE sets last night - I ordered them on the 16, and they arrived the 18th. I expected a Firebat and oddly was a little disappointed(but certainly not much).

My BBTS Firebat is still sitting in my pile of loot - I ordered the whole set rather than the individuals, so depending on if I feel like getting another VAMP I may cancel once the Wave 10 starts shipping. They are definitely overpriced on the single vehicles - I had FANG sets preordered and canceled. No way they are worth $20 plus shipping.
