Tj Maxx In Livonia on 5 mile : Found Hall Of Heroes... I Picked Up SE #1 and Firefly #2. I left behind 5-10's. As you walk in do not go towards toys, walk straight to the back from the door, Hall of Heroes are underneath one of the displays in the middle towards the back. Good Luck.

Ok Went hunting today...

Walmart, Michigan Ave Canton, Ford Road Canton, Belleville, NADA...

Tj Maxx on 5 mile and Marshalls on middlebelt, NADA...

TRU Westland Nothing...

TRU: Livonia at 7 and Middlebelt... Nada for figures, but they did have some Joe Battle Disc sets, Being new to Joes and having A gift card I picked one up.

Target Michigan Ave, Canton.... More wave 3 ... :) :) :) I picked up some more Shock troopers, They still had all 4 in stock when I left. Also Target has many Storage containers on clearance, I got some Nice long 41 quart ones, $3 bucks a pop!

I checked out Khols on michigan ave, Nada, but All their toys were 40-50% off. So I would assume this applies to your local khols as well.

MB Ferret
12-26-2010, 07:55 PM
Yeah what VS didn't take out of the Mich Ave location was scrounged over earlier by me. One of each and left a nice assortment on the same end cap that they were sighted on xmas eve. I've checked several of the other Targets and this is the only one I'm familiar with that has Wave 3 in the area so good spotting, sharing, and hunting.

Picked up an AWE Striker and a Cobra Hummer from Meijer on Haggerty skipped on the ice dagger for now.

Haven't seen Fury. I was hoping Target's SW 9-pack would last longer on clearance, but it won't hit 50% off here sadly.. I just wanted the Lando figure so 30% off wasn't worth it.

I FOUND MY QUORRA FIGURE! Woot.

The Iron Man stuff was the weird ones that are normally $12 or so, with all the addon armor, they were about 50% off. Star Wars 9-packs were 30% off here, the exclusives were all 30% off too.. I think.

I checked my Ypsi Target- Absolutely no POC figures, not one. However I did see the new Alphas for the first time, both the Awe & Ice Cutter were there.
Ypsi Meijer had no POC except a lone Wolf Hound.
Ypsi TjMaxx just had a couple HoH's- Flint, CG & Beachhead.
Saline Wal Mart just had wave 1&2 of POC, but no AV's.
Ann Arbor Target- Finally, success! Tons of Wave 3, I grabbed 4 Shock Troopers, left 2 on the pegs. Tons of SE, SS, & Dukes as well.

The wife and I went to dinner & a movie and I stopped by the local Big Lots.
It was picked clean from the holidays, there was one lone 25th figure left, a lonely Paraviper.
I have my 8 so I left him be, they had a ton of Flint in Cobra disguise and Pilot Scarletts for the longest time, no more.
Is this the end of the 25th era?
Is it finally winding down, or will I finally find me some Resolute Dukes & Troopers?

Hey fellow Michiganders, sorry this is a little OT from sightings, but wanted to see if I could help y'all out before taking this to the general b/s/t thread...

I'm in Texas for New Years visiting friends, and guess what they have here... Ross stores! I drove around to a couple today and managed to get 1 each of the City Flight Pod, Arctic Assault Glider and Desert Ram Cycle. Sadly no Jungle Battle Gun.

Anyway, I'm not really interested in these, but saw the frustration in this thread over being in a Ross-less state & thought I'd try to help out. If anybody wants these, I'd be happy to send them out. I only ask 2 things, I don't have extra boxes, so I'd really like to sell these as a set so I can send them together in a flat rate medium box for $11. Also, I'm not trying to make a big profit or anything with these, but I did spend a day of time & gas driving around looking for them, so I'm asking for people to PM me with what they think is a fair offer. (To be totally transparent, they were $6.50 each with tax).

Canton Walamrt "ford road" All the Joe stuff is in a clearance section (R.O.C AGAIN) but get this, all figures were marked up to 10 bucks and the clearance price was wait for it wait for it 6.98... They must think people are stupid. Vehicles were the same way, marked up and dropped.

Hit some stores in my area & saw some interesting stuff-

Ann Arbor TRU- Just had Arctic Destros and Zartan in the way of POC, as well as a TON of Mechs. However, there was also a dusty Cobra 5 pack sitting on the shelves as well as the ROC Dragon Hawk.
This was strange b/c I go to this TRU a lot and have NEVER seen a Dragonhawk there, plus haven't seen a 5 pack there in months.
I checked the 5 pack thinking it was gonna be repacked for sure, but all the figures including the Chrome Viper were accounted for. Someone must have returned these or they were sitting around the back room, as the Dragonhawk box looked beaten to hell. I left them both on the shelf if anyone's interested.
Ann Arbor Marshalls- Had over 10 Viper/IG Comic packs, and 25th figures are $2!
I grabbed a TF Duke and a Bazooka Trooper, they still had a ton of Rippers and non clear Wraiths. I left the Viper/IG sets since I have plenty of those guys.
They had one lonely ROC figure, a Cobra Commander for $3 who I bought for parts.
Went to TjMaxx where they also had a bunch more comic packs, Viper/IG, SE/ Hard Master, Beachhead/Mainframe. I got a Deep 6/R&R set and a ROC SS for parts, (he was only $2)
Finally Target where I found 2 more Alley Vipers, no wave 4 there, and the only wave 3 was SS & Duke.
I stopped at Kmart out of curiosity, and no Joe whatsoever.
I was gonna check my local WalMart & Meijers, but already spent too much, lol.
Sorry for rambling, but if you want any Viper/IG sets, get your a** to the Ann Arbor Marshalls.

Went across the state this weekend, Found some Walmart 2 packs (Copperhead/gung ho and Tunnel Rat/ M.wrench) at Kalamzoos Burlington 7.99, and I found a BAT HOH at TJ maxx in Kzoo. Also picked up a William the fridge perry and a Red Ninja at Fanfare in Kzoo, Both are in great shape, They really looked like somebody just opened them just to sell. :)
I had no luck else where including South Haven, Benton Harbor, etc etc... I wish I would of checked their TRU now becuz of the Sale this week...

When I got home I have a Vamp POC 16.99 and Fury POC 17.99 waiting for me :) Combo shipping deal for 12 bucks.

did you happen to go into TRU or marshalls

no I didn't... wasn't really out on a hunt, and couldn't bring myself to stare at those same pegs anymore... I have faith wave 4 will show up eventually in good numbers, so i'm trying to be patient...

Most of the targets I have checked in the last day or so look like they have re-stocked with the 2nd revision case from waves 1 and 2, the one with Cobra Commander. Only a handful of stores have remnants of wave 3 (mostly SS and Duke).

Interesting enough, they have figures on thier normal pegs in the action figure isle, but also have some figures on an end cap, usually with Star Wars figures.

Here is a list of Targets I have checked since Friday the 11th and none have wave 4.

Target Battle Creek (off of 94)
Target Canton (Ford Road and Morton Taylor)
Target Novi ??? (Haggerty between 7 and 8 Mile)
Target Southfield (Southfield Road between 12 and 13 Mile)
Target Troy (Maple and Coolidge)
Target Sterling Heights X2 (15 Mile and Van Dyke + M59 and Schoenherr)

I am still hopeful that Wave 4 will hit retail. However, it is very hard not to order this online. But for me the hunt is probably more exciting then the toy itself.

Please, as soon as anyone spots wave 4 at retail, let us michigan tankers know, thanks.

just out of curiosity- is anybody around here a GIJCC member? I'd really like to get the Dial-Tone figure, but can't justify $42 on a single figure... I see members can pre-order extras for $20 and wondering if anybody could help a brotha out...

Not sure if anyone else has noticed but the POC Snowcats are $12.49 at Meijer. I haven't seen any that say this on the tag--the 1st one I bought wasn't tagged at all-- but if you scan it, it'll come up $12.49. I imagine if you can find any HISS tanks left, they'll also ring up at this price!

I noticed the Meijer in Westland has them at that price as well. I seen them there yesterday, they are clearance tagged and in the clearance aisle. The rest of the POC stuff was in the normal Joe peg section.

I found these at a Walmart in Ohio while on a 2 day trip to Sandusky. I was with my kids at a local waterpark. I also had 4 Shocktroopers and 2 Alley Vipers in my hands but an attack of conscience got the better of me and I left the troopers and vipers.

I am either really proud of myself for showing restraint, or really disgusted with myself for not buying the additional figures.

I'm still trying to decide which way I should feel. I'm kind of leaning towards being really disgusted with myself.

I wonder if I should also post this in the Ohio Sightings thread......

Just left TRU in Sterling Hts. on M59 and Schoenherr. They had all of wave 4. Looked like a full case less 1 Lowlight.

It figures, I just ordered Shadow Tracker and Destro from Hasbro Toy Shop last night to the tune of $22.00 and change. I was getting nervous they would never show up at retail. Oh well, you live and learn.

Side note: Destro and Shadow Tracker looked really cool. I was able to find Lowlight and Skydive last week in Sandusky, OH per my earlier post.

Anyway, good luck and happy hunting....................

Well the story on the West Side of the burbs is the same as always. Not a f'ing thing gets here before 2 months after it is out everywhere else. I swear Novi/Farmington/Wixom/Commerce area is the end of the supply chain.

Target Livonia: Nothing new
Target Commerce: Nothing new
TRU Novi: Nothing except one AV is hanging out if someone wants it

TRU Livonia: Entire stock = 3 Destros

Oh but there is 24" of snow on the ground and an economic disaster area with a 50 mile radius. F this f'ing state.

Out of sheer boredom waiting for black HISS tanks, I bought a second brown one on clearance, painted it black, added an extra gatling gun and cannon from another HISS into the unused weapon ports - IMO the best HISS yet!

Hey Michiganders- so as luck would have it, I'm going back home (Houston) next week when MSU is on Spring Break & I have a wedding... I'll be stopping in a couple of Rosses next Thursday looking for a Desert Rock Slide. If anybody has a burning desire for one of the 3 that just popped up, PM me and I'll keep an eye out for one next week. It'll be tight timing, but I figured if I'm already going there I can at least keep y'all in mind...

I'm assuming cost + shipping, but I'd be happy to take some charity/box costs :)

Eastwood Walmart was thought to be a bust. But some idiot stocker put a whole box, or nearly I think Destro may have been the missing figure, at the opposite end of the aisle from the figures and vehicles already there. I grabbed Low-Light, Snake Eyes, my first 2 Shock Troopers, an Alley Viper, and Skydive. With those and all the stuff I got in the mail recently I better stop buying too much for a while. Maybe another Shock Trooper or so.

Picked up a Skydive at the Livonia TRU but not much else there. Or Novi, or Southfield. Or Target Livonia, or Farmington, or the Walled Lake area.

TRU seems to have almost nothing on the shelf for the Joes at all while Target is trying to churn thru the Wave 3 that never showed up at TRU to begin with.

Overall - We continue to live at the end of the supply chain in the communist republic of Michigan....

I saw wave 4 at the Sterling Heights TRU around Thursday or Friday of last week, per an earlier post.

Does anyone know if and when Target is getting wave 4 or has anyone seen wave 4 at any local Targets?

Today my Brother-In-Law said he found and bought a Skydive at a Target in Chesterfield Twp. I don't know if it was the revision case or just wave 4. He said Skydive was the only figure from wave 4 that he found so I have a feeling it was probably a revision case. He also said they had tons of figures from wave 1 and wave 2.

I also checked 2 local Walmarts. One of the Walmarts had 15-20 POC figures in the clearance isle (which is probably 8-10 isles away from the regular toy isles) "marked down" to their normal price of $7. At the other Walmart the joes were in the regular toy isles.

Please, anyone that spots wave 4 around lets us all know. I want another Shadow Tracker and a carded Lowlight. I just should have picked them up a TRU when I saw them last week. It's those "always trying to be cheap, father of 5 thoughts" that get me every time...............
