DESTRO

Just about every Target I have been to today in South Jersey has got at least 2 cases out on the pegs per store.

The case breakdown is weird. Its must be a revision and its packed with goodness.

1X Cobra Trooper
1X Red Ninja
1X Beach head
1X Flint
1X Fire Fly
1X Lady Jaye
1X Hooded Cobra Commander
1X Serpentor

I was there when they were putting them out at the Cherry Hill Target and 2 out of 4 cases had that assortment. The other 2 had the Cobra Trooper replaced with a Cobra Officer and the other case Had the Cobra Trooper replaced with Buzzer.

I would not wait to go hunting get them tonight.

Falcon
11-30-2007, 08:54 PM
Tonight I hit the Cherry Hill Target, was able to nab a Flint, plus an extra for a friend. Also grabbed the Beachhead.

Left multiple Serpentors, Lady Jayes, Cobra Commanders, and 1 Firefly.

I am in New Brunswick, but I venture from Princeton to Freehold to Woodbridge to Somerville. 6 Targets, 4 Walmarts and 4 TRU. I check on East Brunswick TRU and Target, and North Brunswick Walmart almost daily I have yet to find anything worth making me trek to Freehold. I will post here if I have any good NJ sightings in my neck of the woods (and if I leave anything in my path)

You should get out of the woods then. I have found (and purchased when found) singles wave 4-5 last month and comics wave 2 this past weekend. They don't stay around too long. Then again in another month or two we will be complaining all we find is wave 4-5....

Any Targets with Legions packs down your way? I figure they're getting pretty thin these days.

Recondo
01-08-2008, 11:55 PM
no i was in a target yesterday and they were all gone, so not sure about the other 2 but probably cleared out as well

I'm actually caught up for now although if anyone spies some cg's or air troopers I could use a couple more

actually thats good to know, I wanted a couple more sets, haven't been to howell in awhile even though its fifteen minutes from my house, I'll have to take a trip out there this weekend

TR had a good 15 of them all gone, I picked two up

Moses
01-09-2008, 12:54 AM
I think if I spy some CGs, I might tell you about them, but they'd probably be in my collection by that time! Air troopers are all yours though - I think I have my fill of them.

I am tempted to take a roadtrip down to Howell! But I think I might be able to convince myself I have enough Legions to last me....

I wonder if the Walmarts along the Rt 1 beltway get preference with stocking? The Walmart in Manville is pretty barren, yet the Walmart a few miles away in Piscataway gets the goods.

All i've found today were comic packs wave 1 and 4 single carded buzzers at two targets. Walmart hasn't done there reset yet. One target had 4 legion packs i picked up at $6.24. SCORE! Wish i could find some new single packs.

Moses
01-11-2008, 09:45 PM
Checked Targets in Milltown, Bridgewater and South Brunswick. No signs of anything - either I was too early or too late! Hopefully the former. I did find one Legions pack for 6.24. About time they dropped the price!

I did a sweep of Targets I missed on Friday night this morning. Turns out the Targets local to me had nothing on Friday night- still don't know if I missed the boat, or the boat is late. I will have to keep my eyes open. So I checked the other three relatively close by. Score! I got one each of Wave 5, plus an additional CG. Oddly, when I brought them to the register, the products were not in the system. I kept honest when asked how much they were, although I know I could have gotten away with murder! Last place, where I picked up Flash and the second CG (there were additional Flash and Snowjobs - Menlo Park), the girl at the register held it up and asked her manager "How much?" $2.99 was the answer, so I got those two figures for price of one! So I would have liked to find more CG's, but I am sure they will be popping up soon...

evopete
01-13-2008, 11:11 AM
Yep when I got my Wave at the Target Register...They cam up blank... Got two for 5.99 and the other (by Manager as well, for 4.99) so I really got Lucky..... The Joe Gods were good to me since I had to Drive over 70 miles roundtrip to get me Wave 5 set...but I got the Entire Wave between 2 Stores.

vega-1
01-13-2008, 01:11 PM
Hey Tuga I'm glad you found them. I to have all of wave 5 and the cashier asked me if I knew the price and I told her I couldn't remember between the two of $4.99 and $5.99 prices so she picked a price for me of $3.99. I tried to be honest.......... :)

Turnersville Target had one crushed-bubble CG as of about an hour ago if anyone needs an opener. Oddly enough, there was also a crushed SSv2 among the hooded CCs and Shipwrecks. http://s70.photobucket.com/albums/i116/hellion42/smilies/wtf.gif The Walmart next door is still bare of 25A stuff.

I stopped by a few targets this weekend and nada. We might see wave 4 soon - there have been sightings in neighboring states. Chances are it will be a while before Target sees wave 5 again - I have a feeling the whole 9999 code at ringup has messed up inventory and it may take some time to tell the purchasers they went like hotcakes instead of being shelfwarmers. Walmart has a good shot at restocking in the next week or so -they are due. But as for what is out there; comic wave 1, shipwreck, buzzer and hooded cc abound.

Wave 4 at Walmart? Hopefully they will start piping through all locations. There are still wave 5 singles around?

I just found a few remains of wave 4 at a semi-distant target (West Windsor). Duke, Roadblock and Gung Ho. Not too exciting since they are pretty much same as the 5 pack. Downside is they didn't ring properly at the register. I think we will have a drought at Target for wave 4-5 for a while.

Walmart in Manville had (key word "had") Wave 2 Comics, and one peg warmer SE+SS comic pack. I checked 3 Walmarts today, and that was all I found aside from some pegwarmer Beachheads

I dropped by TRU this morning and didn't see anything new and exciting yet. Didn't ask, but will run out there again in an hour or so (I have an appointment in the area). I did see the Night Watch sign where they have had the Plague Trooper 5 pack hanging, and I think the sign has been there for a few months - I thought it was left over from the old days when they had Night Watch 5 packs...

I did see Wave 5 at Walmart and finished up my CG squad.

None here. I went to two TRU on Sat, and visited my local one several times over the weekend. I did see a sign, but it has been there for months and was on a peg rack, not sure if these 5 packs stand on a shelf or hang. If the labels others have seen are new (and it sounds like they are), the night watch may be around the corner. The question is which corner?

When I started out late collecting 25A, a K-Mart near me still had a few Wave 1 (Cobra Officer, Storm Shadow, SE+Timber) that I couldn't find at any other walk-in retail store. Haven't seen anything else aside from 5 packs, but they have kept the pegs labelled. I figured once they completed their inventory in Jan, we might see something new roll in.

I stopped by my local kmart on the way home. To my suprise they did a toy reset. FINALLY! They actually had 2 pegs up for singles, 1 peg up for comic packs and a space for the 5 packs on the shelf. Not much space but better than before when they just threw them on the shelf without any labels or set space. The pegs were all empty but hopfully everything is on order. I don't think they were wiped out as the whole aisle was pretty much half empty.

Did a little stopping around tonight, especially Walmart looking for Comic Wave 3. No dice on that unfortunately, but it seems to me the last few times something hit (Comic Wave 2, Single Wave 5), it was on a Friday night. I did get my fill of Cobra Officers and Red Ninjas.

I did see Comic Wave 1 and 2 at KMart.

The Targets closest to me are pretty lame.

Not yet, but I will go on a short hunt tonight expecting to hit 3 Walmarts. Last time wave 5 came in and comic wave 2 hit was on a Friday after it seemed to hit everywhere else so I am not too concerned.

The skeevy looking guy I saw slowly walking through the Walmart toy dept this morning at 7 AM (my first opening visit) did concern me though...... Fortunately his hands were empty.

I'm going to stand up for skeevy looking guys everywhere and state that he was probably looking for a specific thing, didn't find it (same as just about everyone here at at least one point), and was wandering around out of boredom. I do it all the time. If someone wants to assume I'm a scalper, I can't stop them. Doesn't make it true though.

Moses
02-07-2008, 11:43 PM
I went back to the Walmart after work - still nothing. Went to another and scored a case! At first I was going to take only one set but I figured I would get it out of the way... I will get two sets anyway.

So maybe that skeevy guy can get that Walmart's allocation tomorrow if it is what he was after... I don't normally judge people, but if I saw a 50+ year old man walking out with a fresh case (like I had in my hands tonight), I would have been pissed. Call me a hypocrite, but I am not buying these to sell on ebay for profit, but I do feel a little guilty about hoarding. What a brutally competitive collection.

North Jersey little west of Giant Stadium. It really AMAZES me how these figures are picked clean so quickly. Man when i was a kid before the internet, before the scalpers I remember having my pick of whatever figure i wanted in a half of an aisle dedicated to Gijoe. Its so frustrating now. I just got fed up and preordered a case of 8 wave 3 comic packs.

TRU Officer 3 packs have hit the TRU near my house, so now I am all caught up. I am in hopes that I can pick up another HISS at one of the Targets that are holding off for the 4/13 date to put them out.

Overall the officer 3 packs are a little disappointing. Grunt looks like he ate a moonpie. And all three Joes seem to have misshapen hands which don't hold the guns well. Crimsons are decent. I kinda like the CC in red. Packs cost 13.99, and it does seem like the figures are not up to standard 5.99 quality.

really? i stopped by there yesterday and didn't see anything. i have mine already, so i'm not looking to buy, but i'm always on the lookout for what store has what and when (for future reference, and to post here). all i saw there was a buttload of Star Wars exclusives by one of the registers. for Joes, all they had was one Cobra Trooper, Snow Job and some comic packs (natch!) in the toy aisle. and the TRU down the road from it had 4 Joe 5-packs, a bunch of Hooded CC's, Serpentors and Buzzers and a couple of comic packs. No 3-packs. and i looked all over. are these things in plain sight, or do i have to bust out a searchlight or something?

Wow that's crazy. There was a boat load of stuff there and atleast 9 of the 3 packs. I'll keep a lookout for you and maybe a nice hiding spot for you too. Send me your cell# and I'll call you when I see something.......Later

Save one for me if it is there. If someone can give me directions I'll be heading there tomorrow. I want it mostly for (of all people) Duke. I still need one and this gives me a great new Hawk and another Joe.

well, i don't know that area very well. if you can find your way onto 541 in Burlington, you'll see it on the left side of a divided highway (in the same complex as a Wal-Mart), so you'll have to enter the jughandle at Sunset Road and swing around the other way. the address is 541 & Cadillac Road, Burlington, NJ 08016. maybe you can mapquest it to get you to 541. or maybe someone else has a suggestion.

If patterns follow the NW and ninja packs, they might replenish every 2 weeks. I am sure long term these won't be tough to find - the NW and ninja packs are starting to back up a little, I am sure the 3 packs eventually will as well.

Found the 3 packs today FINALLY at the TRU outside of Trenton. Sometimes being a long ways away on the road pays off heh.

There were 4 or so of each. I grabbed one full set of each and an extra Crimson set.

I don't know the exact town, my GPS said I was in Trenton, so that might be it.

Although I am going to look nightly, I don't expect to see anything until at least the end of this week if not next. When a wave hits west coast first it seems to take it's time getting here. Hopefully they have distribution worked out, that may be why it took so long. They are going to need a lot of Vipers and HISS drivers to meet demand!

went on another Wave 7 run today. 5 targets and 4 wal-marts. only wave 7 fig i saw was a Snake Eyes at the Cherry Hill WM... and it wasn't even on a peg, just laying on top of the crap (whatever it is) that is stacked beneath the Joes. i'm guessing somebody asked an employee for a case out of the back, and dumped the extra SE on the shelf. on the bright side... if anyone is interested in army-building Roadblocks, the Turnersville WM has like 10 of him for some reason.

I did a run this AM. 6 Targets and 3 Walmarts in central NJ - East Windsor, South Brunswick, East Brunswick, Edison, Piscataway and Bridgewater. No signs of Wave 7 yet. Looks like many of them have recently received comic wave 3. Checked the DPCI (087060021) and nothing in back in any of them. Walmarts are starting their reset. Closest one to me (North Brunswick) split comics and singles, and currently only have one peg for singles. For better or worse, it is overflowing with W6 fillers.

I think my area is still waiting on Wave 7 to hit.... I should have found something or at least noticed some figures moved on the racks. Does Target or Walmart receive any shipments on Saturdays? If not, this weekend will likely be a bust and I will have to make the nightly runs after I get home from work this week.
