Invalid thread:)

Ahh, it got taken down & he reposted in the original.

Not that I will ever doubt you, but I was hoping for Wave 10 more than SRO packs!

[Mr. Focus]

Invalid thread:)

The information has been moved but the Wave 2 TRU 3-packs have been sighted in Virginia!

[DOC]

I.G.s Baby Woo!

[Noizeindex]

Nada @ Lakeside TRU. Now that all the other products are hitting, TRU(at least the Lakeside one) only leaves enough space for 6 SRO packs. It's filled with 3 or 4 old ones now...

[Mr. Focus]

...I was hoping for Wave 10 more than SRO packs!

Can you wait until next week for Wave 10!

[Noizeindex]

Can you wait until next week for Wave 10!

Sure!!!

[toolrocks302]

Picked up 2 rattlers and 2 conquests at the Target in Clinton Twp. yesterday, and my mother in law picked up 1 of each in Port Huron for me for Christmas.

Seen some CC/Tripwire and Nemesis/Falcon two packs at the Meijer and KMart in Chesterfield.

[Bermuda Mohawk]

Westland TRU has new revision singles, now at $7.99, but nothing "new" like the SRO sets or 5 packs.

Westland Target had no jets.

Canton Target had 2 Conquests at open.

Canton Walmart had nothing new aside from revision cases.

[Cavbeast]

Update from my post on 9/15/08.

After speaking with Target Guest Relations Hotline, the Miller Road Target resolved the incident and shipped a Rattler from another store today. Morale of the story...it pays to talk to Management AND Corporate when employees drop the ball, and fail to provide customer service.
Thanks go out to Ron and Eddie for their support and advice regarding the matter. :)

No problem! You're part of the 26th Brigade brotherhood; we couldn't stand idly by while one of our own is mistreated. It could have happened to any one of us!

Fellow Tankers, I was just at my Chesterfield Walmart and happened on 3 sealed cases of joes (revision) It says wv4rv5 I should have written down the asssortment number but, here is what's inside: CC w/ mass device, Tigerforce Flint, Commando Snake eyes, Crimson Guard, Spirit, Python Patrol officer, Wild Bill, and one more I don't recall(not a new fig.) All of them come in the new cardback. Hope this helps.
This is as of 9-20-08 at 12:30 am

25th Anniversary - Wave 4 - Revision 5 - Case of 8 - GI Joe 25th Anniversary - 1982-2007 Single Figures at BigBadToyStore (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=HAS15380&mode=retail&picture=out)

[shipwreak73]

Found the Target vehicles today in Saginaw. Actually, called last night and they put the Rattler aside for me (I made sure they weren't taking it out of a fellow collector's hands =). I pick it up this morning and notice the price tag reads 21.99. So, I was only going to get the Rattler, but I went and found a Conquest for the same price. I know it is only 6 bucks off for the two, but eh, that for that I can buy another figure. They did ring up for 24.99, but I made sure to point out the price tags. Course, the lady called back and had the last Conquest price changed, but in the end, I was happy!

6 bucks is 6 bucks nice !!

[Noizeindex]

New TRU 5 packs at Southfield TRU. 2 of both sets. Plus I've never seen as many W7 singles as they have there!!!

[Copper21]

Both Alpine and 28th St. TRU have the CG 5 packs as well as the Firefly v. Greenshirts. Newest revision cases as well. Man, it is so nice to actually see joe stuff en masse on a TRU shelf again!!!

Oh, and thanks to Mr. FOcus. HE had hooked me up with a CG 5 Pack, but I ended up getting one at 20% off for "Hero Appreciation week." (cops, firefighters, military) Anyhoo, very helpful indeed. I like these Michigan collector's. Am I the only one on the Westside of the state???

Oh, Go Spartans!

[Mr. Focus]

Copper21, don't forget to update your 'want list'. A-Yo DOC, I completed your order 3 of 3 but your PM inbox is FULL. Stop giving your email out to win free stuff!

Welcome to the tank Copper... I think there are a couple of people from GR here, and I like to imagine hisstank members and lurkers are like cockroaches, where you see one poster from an area, there are 5 more lurkers...

Oh, and Go Green!

[Mr. Focus]

Anyone need/want BBTS' Fang & Claw pre-order(s)?

[NightViper]

I wouldn't mind having one Mr. Focus. Thats one of the sets I don't want to miss

[toolrocks302]

Target in Clinton Twp had one of each plane, and the TRU in Roseville had one Crimson Guard pack and two Greenshirts earlier today, no new SRO packs yet tho.

[silverc]

Brighton Target - no planes, but 1x each of the wave 2 vehicles (2 of the VAMP). Lots of DVD packs. Some wave 7 and wave 9 leftovers. There were a bunch of comic packs (the revision ones with older releases but with no doc stickers). The comic packs are on sale for $8 thru Saturday. I picked up both of the Tripwire/CC packs.


WM - Howell - lots of wave 2 vehicles, some wave 7 and 9 leftovers and some of the repacks in cartoon/comic logos. I saw a Python Patrol Officer, a Crimson Guard, IG Destro, etc.

[DOC]

walmart at van dyke and 14 new white card crimson guard no wave 10

[Mr. Focus]

A-YO bvance74, make some noise... let us know you're still alive!

[Ronnie Dobbs]

I just picked up my second Rattler at the Target at Northland mall.

Gonna keep this baby in the Box.

They had a Conquest, but I left that one there.

[Ronnie Dobbs]

I recently found the original Cobra 25th anniverasary 5 pack, with the GIJOE logo that plays the theme.

Should I buy one and open it, or leave it in the box.

I mean they are kinda rare right?

They aren't making them anymore, and they certainly aren't in circulation.

What do you guys think?

Talkin bout this.

[beef664422]

I have still yet to see a tanker in the saint-joseph benton harbor area though... Though I know there is at least one more collector here cause the army-builders always get bought up:p

You might see me over that way if you keep letting those planes sit on the shelf for two days!!!

I got my 3rd Rattler at Target in KZoo today. Arrived at opening, but they "couldn't be located". "Uriel", yeah that was his name, tried to explain the "error" and said they didn't have them. So I mentioned that I hear one of their stock people is hiding them in back and left the store and giving him the stink eye. The Target website said the store still had them around 3:30, so I swung by to recheck. There they were. I left a conquest. I'll wait for clearance on those.

Now who has an extra black head Destro???

[Mr. Focus]

I'm in the toy aisle of Meijer Livonia starring at two complete cases of Wave 9...COMPLETE CASES!!!

[shdwknt]

Virus - you cant shop kalamazoo anymore until you come and actually introduce yourself - you missed me that one day - I was out and busy. LOL!!!

Anyhow - ya those planes where put out around 1/2ish because they where there when I stopped in today on my lunch.

I left them I have 2 of each.. all I wanted..

Any signs of the TRU sets and the wave 3 vehicles in town?? I havent seen the shark or firebat YET.. I am waiting on those!

Indiana seems to have wave 10 hitting ebay.. so we should be seeing that soon.. me and a buddy have BC covered.. you need something holla at your boy..

Otherwise Battle Creek was broke as a joke again today - just as was Kzoo... Heading over to the east side thursday morning.. should maybe be able to pick something up!

[Provn]

What's the case ratio of the black headed IG Destro vs. the gold headed one or are they randomly packed?

[Bermuda Mohawk]

Made the rounds this morning, with a braced ankle sprain no less, found nothing to indicate wave 10 has hit here yet. :(

[OSOK]

stopped in at Meijer in Grand Ledge and they have some vehicles, but they are $17.99 and tons of leftover wave 9 about 5 pegs stuffed

[jsmith41]

Visited Livonia Target, WM, and TRU tonight. Nothing new of note, but Target has comic packs for $8 each.

[squeee666]

To bad all the comic packs around here are issue #1 :(

[shdwknt]

Well no word from CobraVirus tonight so nothing new in the kzoo / portage area I guess..

Battle Creek is pretty broke yet again..

Hopefully this weekend brings wave 10.

[245am]

Made a late night run to Lake Lansing WM in Lansing... nada.

[DOC]

Walmart at 14 van dyke Nothing new
Walmart 23mile van dyke express way One case of wave 4 R5
Walmart M59 6 Cases of wave 4R5 (WTF)
I took a picture for all of you...What a Disappointment to find

[Mr. Focus]

Out-friggin'-standing! Now that's what you call RECON!!! Take notes maggots...that's how you graduate and join the upper echelon of the 26th Brigade!

I heard your excuses: "If I could 'this'...If I didn't have to 'that'...If my schedule...If I wasn't married" If, If, If, If, If...well "If" a frog had wings he wouldn't smash his arse when he crash! Only slackers wait until the figures are on the pegs. Your figures should NEVER have a price tag on them...shameful!

Well done Private DOC!

[Trooper Jon]

I worked last night, so I went on a little toy run this morning around Ann Arbor...

Target has restocked the Rattler and Conquest. I picked up another one of each. There are two Conquest jets left at the Target on Carpenter Rd if anyone is looking. No new figures though. (I didn't go out to the Target on Ann Arbor-Saline Rd.)

The Toys R' Us had a SHARC and a Firebat. I was blown away since I didn't expect to see these on store shelves yet. I was a little mad at myself for ordering them on-line and paying a little extra. Hence, they are both still there. I arranged them on the shelf so that they couldn't be missed by those who are looking. No new figures here either.

I am loving this 25th anniversary line and can't wait for the next wave of figures/vehicles.

[Bermuda Mohawk]

Livonia TRU: CG 5 packs, Firefly vs. GS's 5 packs. No new vehicles or Officers sets.

Westland TRU: CG 5 packs, Firefly vs. GS's 5 packs. No new vehicles or Officers sets.

Livonia K-mart S.: Nothing new, and nothing seemingly restocked for the last 4-6 weeks.

Livonia Meijer: Nice to see B.A.T.s and Serpents on pegs again. But that was all they had of interest. Didn't buy them.

[Noizeindex]

Lakeside TRU- CG 5 Pack & 2 Greenshirts 5 Packs. Nothing else new & exciting!

[DOC]

Well done Private DOC!

Thank You Sir...LOL

[shdwknt]

Damn - I forgot my password to the site and wasnt able to post from my phone.

Ya Livonia Targets - tons of Conquest and Rattlers at least 2 of each at both stores, the westland target didnt have any that I saw..

The Walmarts in the area didnt have anything new joe wise - but the Walmart on middlebelt in westland/livonia I guess (not from there) had the 12" Halo Master Chief in Walmart exclusive blue.. $27 almost got one.

The TRUs as posted the one in westland and livonia had the new 5-packs nothing else of interest.

Kalamazoo didnt have anything and nothing from Battle Creek to report either.

[toolrocks302]

09-25-2008

Target 23/Grat - had a Rattler, a Hiss tank, and some other peg warmers

Target 15/Grat - had all wave 5 comic packs and some other assorted packs for $8 each, 2 Hiss tanks and some other vehicles, 11 Wild bills, etc...............

[Noizeindex]

Target at Shelby-Rattler and Conquest 1 each. No new figs. Still looking for new cp--IG Destro and Nemesis.

They have a Destro CP(gold) at Mound & M59, it's been there a while. I also have one for trade.

[silverc]

I checked the Ann Arbor TRU for the Firebat/Sharc but didn't see them. This was at 4:30.

Target in Brighton has 2x Conquest and 1x Rattler.

They also have 1 of the Destro/IG Comic pack at Meijer in Brighton, along with other wave 9 figs and some vehicles.

[Trooper Jon]

That stinks. They must have sold since I was there at 1030 this morning. I don't think that you could have missed them because they were right with the other vehicles.

[OSOK]

TRU in okemos, nothing great, some leftovers from the recent revision cases, did notice the price increase on the single figs and cps

Target in Okemos, picked up another set of Rattler and Conquest, some Revision case leftovers

[heikks86]

i bought another Conquest in Marquette, this is like the 8th Conquest i have seen i have yet to see a Rattler

[Copper21]

Rockford Meijer on TEN MIle - LOTs of wave 9 (except BATs), LOTS of comic packs through wave 4

Target on Alpine - Wave 7, some of the new revision, and new comic packs at $8 each! (Just dont ask the clerk to go to the stockroom to check...sheesh)

TRU Alpine LOTS of wave 7, revision cases, CG and FF/GS packs, replenished vehicles

Thats all I had the gas for...

[Mr. Focus]

Rockford Meijer on 10 MIle - LOTs of wave 9 (except BATs), LOTS of comic packs through wave 4

Target, Walmart on west main/9th street: nothing at target - Walmart had new Transformers Animated.

No word from my Guys in battle creek - so we will assume they where broke as well.

Happy Hunting all!

[Recon]

Well you missed Noizeindex, drunk posting...which I think is a first for this thread. And you missed the boat on figuring how to bring back leftover for us. Mmmm....ribs....*homer drools*

[Sgt. thunder]

As of 9:30 this morning: 2 of each plane at 11/Dequindre and 15/Van Dyke. Nothing else new...yet.

[Noizeindex]

Well you missed Noizeindex, drunk posting...which I think is a first for this thread. And you missed the boat on figuring how to bring back leftover for us. Mmmm....ribs....*homer drools*

Thankfully you all did miss my Dr. Dre/Snoop Dog karaoke experience earlier in the night!

[G.I.Eddie]

Well you missed Noizeindex, drunk posting...which I think is a first for this thread. And you missed the boat on figuring how to bring back leftover for us. Mmmm....ribs....*homer drools*

funny you mention this...obviously i could not've ate that entire plate of ribs that night, so i boxed them up to take on the plane...of course the US customs dude said no to that, so i had to sit on floor right there and scarf them down...sorry guys...

[Mr. Focus]

thanks friend! Have you guys seen these new 3.75" DC superheroes?

When is the next meet?

New DC Superheroes? Sounds cool but if they're not within two peg lengths from the G.I. Joe section, I couldn't tell you! Uhh, are there toys displayed parallel to the G.I. Joe section?

I agree! We should setup another meet before the holidays. I’m going to need your help d3troit. It's time to resurrect the 'Michigan Get Together' thread!!!

[Mr. Focus]

funny you mention this...obviously i could not've ate that entire plate of ribs that night, so i boxed them up to take on the plane...of course the US customs dude said no to that, so i had to sit on floor right there and scarf them down...sorry guys...

Turning a brick wall into a midday meal...now that's determination! In fact, I believe that's grounds for an 'Man Law' entry!


Thankfully you all did miss my Dr. Dre/Snoop Dog karaoke experience earlier in the night!

Back by POPULAR demand… Noizeindex has just volunteered to display his karaoke abilities at the next Michigan get together! Tickets go on-sale this Thursday and can be found at any store that sells G.I. Joes or beer!

[Mr. Focus]

I literally JUST released four of my 'Fang & CLAW' pre-orders at BBTS!!!

[snakeeyes1976]

gijoeplusmore.com is a new site i bought from him before awsome guy real honest and he has great communication

[SNAKE_EYES1975]

Hey guys..I live in michigan as well. Anyone see the new wave at retail yet?

[G.I.Eddie]

Hey guys..I live in michigan as well. Anyone see the new wave at retail yet?

well uh, thanks for pointing out the obvious...

"Location: Detroit"

plus your posting in ther michigan thread...LOL

this is meant in jest, in case you didn't get that...actually most of what i say is meant in jest as i am rarely serious...

as for the new wave, if you mean wave 10, nope, count me out as a person who has spotted them

[Cavbeast]

Yeah I did the same thing in nixed my Firebat, Sharc, Awe Striker wave from BBTS. I mean its not like they're Conquests and Rattlers... :P

Can we get a flier made up that says "Because No One Demanded It, Noizeindex sings Cold Slither" for the next get together?

And Eddie, that sucks about the food. I forgot how strict Customs is regarding what you can bring. Of course if anyone should be afraid of a plate of ribs overthrowing a plane...

[Noizeindex]

There's also a Detroit, Texas. & if they have a HEB, then Wave 10 has probably been sighted there!!

It sounds like I'm gonna have back up on "Cold Slither!" Just remember the PSA where Bobby found his mom's hidden stash of Jager & Lifeline talked him out of drinking it, that won't be happening here...

[ironknife]

thanks friend! Have you guys seen these new 3.75" DC superheroes?

When is the next meet?

we decide it's going to be at your house :)

[Copper21]

Hey. I want to get together...I need friends....lol. Sounds like a hoot. I may even venture cross state for it.

Also, cancelled my stuff from BBTS. Not because I dont like them, just finding more at better prices at Outer Rim Collectibles....SidDarth on this board.

Got some great itmes in a trade and have Desert Patrol set and Firebat too! Good prices too. Take a look if you haven't. He has both internet exclusives in as well as the new vehicles last I checked.

[ironknife]

"Cold Slither"
HAHAAA !!!!

How are we going to play NBA2k9 or Madden '09 if you don't have a XBOX 360? What about Stars Wars UNLEASHED? Don't look at me...at best I might be able to sneak out a XBOX 360 power cord but that's it!

[245am]

Lansing people, save your gas, nothing in the Okemos TRU/WM/Target plex nor in Lake Lansing Wm... well, technically, the OK TRU has wave 5 comic packs, so yeah!

I think I'm going to pause from toy hunting for a couple of weeks... the only thing I'm after that isn't gauranteed to be warming the shelf weeks later is wave 10 and maybe the vehicles.

[coola784]

did anyone hit that new miejer in davidson that just opened this morning? i thaught about going since no one has ever been there and obviously they would have full pegs but was to lazy to drive all the way over there. if anyone had wave 10, i would guess they would.

[rob0213]

Hey guys, sorry if this is in the wrong place or has been addressed already (137 pages is a lot of reading), but has anyone brought up the idea of having a Joe Michigan Get Together? Seems to be a lot of us Michigan folk here, and I was wondering if it has happened before, or if anyone would be interested. I think it would be kind of cool to have a big 'ol round table discussion and get to know some of our fellow Michigan 'Tankers. If this has been brought up before, sorry, just something I was curious about.

[toolrocks302]

TRU-Roseville had 2 Greenshirt and 2 CG packs and nothing else new.

[Bermuda Mohawk]

At this point I don't even know what I'm looking at in terms of wave revisions, but both the Livonia and Canton Walmart had restocks today. Of note, Battle Armor C.C.s were on pegs as well as V.2 Snake Eyes.

Canton Walmart also had a black head Destro CP. Which I left.

[Noizeindex]

TRU Lakeside- Nothing
Target Hall & Schoenherr- 1 Rattler 2 Conquests 3 racks of nothing

[DOC]

at least there not getting tons of revision waves like walmart! I counted total of 15 cases of revisions at walmarts. all of that could have been prime time for wave 10

Yeah, I think our Targets & TRU's will be the place to get Waves 10+ until Walmart drops some stock.

[heikks86]

i went out looking for Marvel Legends Ares and Red Hulk waves i didnt find them but i did run into some scalpers at Walmart. I walked into the aisle and some guys were looking at the joes so i looked at the batman figures and overhead some guy getting excited and i looked over and he had a Firebat and a Fang/Claw pack. His friend asked him about a single figure and i heard him say something they arent selling very good anymore. When they finally left i went over and saw a Awe Striker with Leatherneck and a Hisstank. I called to see how much was on my debit and it was only $14 so i looked at the comic packs and found 2 cases of wave 5 comic packs i bought a Black Headed Destro/Iron Grenadier pack. THen i went to Target just to see what they had and i saw 2 Rattlers and a Conquest and Vamp. and Target has lowered the price on single figures to $6.84

if i would have had more money and been a little earlier to walmart i could have cleaned them out

[Recon]

I was at the Canton Walmart today at 1:30 and found a black head Destro.

[Cavbeast]

Miller Rd TRU got another shipment of CGs and Greenshirts in but all the CGs were gone when I got up there.

[toolrocks302]

Walmart at Hall Rd and I-94 was stocked to brim with revisions including 1 IG Destro, 4 PP Officers, 1 CG, 2 Snow Serpents, all Wave 1 vehicles, some comic packs and other assorted singles.

[245am]

today around noon eastwood walmart had firebat, striker, and fang/claw, but the boxes were trash.

thanks for the heads up- good (bad?) to see another Lansing area Hisstanker...

Picked up a Black headed Destro CP at the Okemos Wal-Mart... they also had the other wave 5 CPs, and white card revision case (don't remember which one, but saw a IG Destro, Wave 5 SE and SE w/ Timber)

[Sgt. thunder]

Could have been me, the firebat and claw were on the shelf, already had the AWE...

[JTKranix]

TRU in Grand Rapids on 23rd had 3 or 4 sets of the Crimson Guards and Firefly vs. G.I. Joe Troopers this afternoon.

[BazookaJosh]

Went to Wal-Mart on Ct. Street in Burton yesterday, they had the Firebat and Fang Coptor vehicles. There was also an armored Cobra Commander and Snake Eyes with Timber. They had two Iron Grenadiers and Destros also, but they were both gold head versions. All were still there when I left at about 3:30. Sorry I didn't post yesterday, but I didn't get a chance to.

[Provn]

So people has spotted the SE with Timber, is this the revision case with Flint in it? If it is so, then awesome, still need him.

Target on Gratiot/23-Nemesis enforcer cp, 2x conquests.

[shipwreak73]

Just picked up the Firebat/Fang-CLAW from the Walmart on State St. in Saginaw. Also picked up a BH Destro/IG pack. If anyone is interested, there still is a AWE Striker there. No sign of Wave 10=(

[rob0213]

Still nothing that I have seen. I must be just getting there late, lol. Gonna check things out later.

[shdwknt]

every firebat sharc I have seen have been at kmarts in the kazoo / bc area and these bastards have crushed the packages.

[rob0213]

That's just wrong. had that problem with the Shacrs I ordered form smalljoes.com. The boxes looked like a 400lb person had sat on them.

[245am]

wait- it seems like people aren't finding the SHARC, which was supposed to be with the Firebat, yes? and wasn't the copter and Desert AWE in wave 3 to be released in a couple months

[CobraVirus]

Crushed packaging means you get to open it shdwknt!!!

My KMart experience was a dud today, especially when the old dirty Hot Wheels guy bumped into me. Walmart, TRU, Target...duds.

At least I have my HTS and BBTS orders to look forward to next week.

[ironknife]

Just picked up the Firebat and sharc at k mart thanks shdwknt!

Thanks, LMK what you need, I'll do the same.

[wolvie34]

Found a black headed Destro yesterday at the re-built Wal-Mart on Alpine in Grand Rapids. They had quite a few comic packs and single figs but nothing super new. Saw some Conquests at the Target on Alpine. Don't really want the plane, but if someone has an extra Slipstream they would be willing to sell, please contact me. Thanks.

[Nightbird]

Well I snuck out of work and went looking for joes in the middle of the mitten today. All I found was the black head destro which is the first I have seen around here. Still haven't seen wave 10, wave 2/3 of vehicles or the new dvd packs. Thats what happens when the only joe shopping within 30 miles around is two walmarts, two kmarts and a target which are all stuffed to the gills with peg warmers right now. The one Kmart has not gotten a single new joe in over 3 months. The only joe they have is a foil carded hooded cobra commander.

I shouldn't have cancelled my preorders at BBTS. But the last several waves, vehicles, and dvd sets I found way before my order shipped from bbts. Oh well thats the breaks.

I did manage to pick up the 11th season of the simpsons and the new robot chicken dvds. At least that will keep me amused for a while.

I know a lot of you got your wave 10 from bbts. Does anyone have a paraviper or two they would be interested in selling?

[shdwknt]

Bah -

The Westnedge strip in kalamazoo/portage is broke as a joke today.

Nothing new at all. some new waves of Star Wars Legacy collection but nothing in the Joe Realm.

Kmart on Westnedge still hasn't received the new vehicles from what I can tell.

TRU - they have tons of the chariots, trouble bubble vehicles but jack shit else.

Target - LOL a few Jets - nothing but peg warmers

Walmart - I don't know what is with these morons - this toy department is so jacked up.. they have hot wheels on 2 different isles, star wars in like 3 places.. I have never seen a more dis-organized location in my life

ANYHOW.. Good Hunting fellaz!

LOL No Doubt!!

where is wave 10 and all the new stuff - BBTS is going to get this before anyone else at this rate!

[DOC]

What if they totally skip wave 10 at retail, and finish out the line with these revision cases? Nooooo....

[Mr. Focus]

I literally JUST released four of my 'Wave 11' Eels
pre-orders at BBTS!!!

25th Anniversary - Wave 11 - Eels - GI Joe 25th Anniversary - 1982-2007 Single Figures at BigBadToyStore (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=HAS15874&mode=retail)

LOL No Doubt!!

They're in stock at BBTS right at this moment, minus the Wraith. I happened to order mine from Hasbro last Friday, & I got the email that they shipped today.

Maybe Wave 10 willo be like 5 or 6 to a lot of people, especially when grocery stores & the like seem to be getting them. Has anybody actually checked a Kroger's around here?

[Mr. Focus]

Krogers, in the states you speak on, are synonymous to our Wal-Mart and Meijers here in Michigan.

[Bermuda Mohawk]

Has anybody actually checked a Kroger's around here?

I have checked the ones around Canton/Plymouth, and no Joes. They are smaller stores however.

[Bermuda Mohawk]

25th Anniversary - Wave 11 - Eels - GI Joe 25th Anniversary - 1982-2007 Single Figures at BigBadToyStore

Ouch...$13 each? All troop builders that overpriced at BBTS?

2 of each plane at Greatland Troy this morning, nothing else in Troy.

Krogers, in the states you speak on, are synonymous to our Wal-Mart and Meijers here in Michigan.

I've checked a couple of the Meijers recently- no dice... I'm thinking they showed up at grocery stores first because, and I never thought I'd say this, they are the only ones with empty pegs. I know it varies from place to place, I'm not really seeing EMPTY pegs anymore, just clogged with pegwarmers. I'm guessing they're waiting on these wave 9s and revisions to clear before they'll put out or order (automatically?) wave 10 stuff


so its loose then?

well, it will be; I haven't opened the pack yet, but I'm planning to take out the IG and trade off the Destro to somebody here. PM me if you're interested in a trade.

Yesterday Target in Brighton had the Combat Heroes things on the shelf. They just got done putting them out when I checked at 5:30pm.

No planes there, and only wave 7/9 leftovers.

[OSOK]

looks like the michigan sightings are slowing down

[Bermuda Mohawk]

If you are desperate, and *need* wave 10, I just seen the full set at Comic City in Novi. They are $9.99 each however.

They have wave 9 B.A.T. and Serpent as well.

[DOC]

wow, what a trip!

[Iron Spider-Man]

Just popping in from collecting sparingly, to report a Sharc and Firebat sighting at a store that is probably not as heavily trafficked as others. The K-Mart on the road between Saginaw and Shields (not sure what area it is, right by Center Rd. though) had one of each on Thursday.

Nothing particularly exciting and new, did grab a Black Head Destro, and pushed a Fang & Klaw vehicle pack to the pack of the vehicle pack area on Wednesday, on the Saginaw Bay Rd. Wal-Mart... came back 30 min later and it was gone! Ah well.

But... I do have a HUGE favor to ask. If anyone sees the Wal-Mart Exclusive Marvel Legends Ares wave, and can pick up every figure for me (Super Nova/Adi Granov/darker Human Torch, please), I would be super super happy. The person who was supposed to get it for me, I believe fell through, and none of the five WMs around are going to get it, it seems.

(clears throat) Lt. Eddie and myself are looking over your resume... we'll get back to you. Off the record, your expedition has been duly noted. Holy Jesus, I think you two were BORN to gather intel!

Hey, Another Canton person!!!!!! Yay!!!!

[Cavbeast]

Nothing much in Genesee County, I got my Wave 10 Revision from EE.com on Wednedsay so I finally snagged me a Wave 1 Flint (FINALLY!!!) and others...Hmm...

[Dedboy]

Hello! Just wanted to introduce myself. I've been using Hiss Tank for a while now and finally got around to creating a profile. As for sightings today, I hit the Target, Walmart, and Meijers on Beckley Rd. (a modest run compared to yesterday's adventure w/Shdwknt) and came up with nothing new in the way of Joes, but did find some variants from Wave 3 of the DC Universe Line. Nice to meet everyone!!!

[Bermuda Mohawk]

Ya me and dedboy over there.. when we make runs.. WE MAKE RUNS..

Ya it was a lot of running for a lot of nothing.. but had we found wave 10 it would have been worth it..

I did pick up a Halo Plasma Rifle laser tag set for $40.00 from Kaybee when we where in GR..

The kalamazoo/battle creek area we keep locked down pretty well... we make it to GR once a month or so.. and then towards the Jackson area about once a month as well.

we leave no stone unturned.. if anyone needs something.. holler!

BTW.. I am heading next weekend to Canada on a hunt for canadian cards, and the exclusive halo 3 figs.. if anyone is looking for anything canadian exclusive.. let me know.

[Cavbeast]

thats it! im joining the brigade!

Wha? An out of stater wanting to join us? Hmmm....interesting.

[Crimson Guard]

Yeah, there's a few of us I believe. All fighting for the nothing that sits on the shelves. :)

Ain't that the truth. Although Canton Target on Ford did have the new revision case this morning. While I'm glad to see revision cases hitting the shelves, I worry that the sheer amount of older figures coming out will hinder the release of Wave 10 and beyond. Hopefully I'm wrong. Canton Target is already starting to fill the top shelves with product for the holiday season, so maybe we'll start getting regular restocks.

I can watch out for them for you. I honestly have no clue about the exclusive marvel legends eres wave, but I will look throuhg the figs when i check for joes.

My mt. pleasant has numerous revison cases..say a snow job figure today which was nice to see...

but no signs of wave 10, the new dvd packs, or any vehicles although they have never really had vehicles

Heh, thanks but I've been to Mt. P looking for them too. None of the stores around here at all appear to have any intention of carrying the wave. It really rather upset me, but I think the "big" collecting around here is Transformers, Star Wars and GI Joes honestly.

[Recon]

Just got the Fang and Claw at the Walmart in Livonia. They still have an awe striker and a Firebat.

Charijoe!!! It is always an honor when the Queen of Plastic visits with us. Your mere presence brightens the room, my lady. Come and go as you please, no one here will trouble you.

Honorary Brigadier? Well that's a bit of a problem. Understand, either you are a Brigadier or you're not. From the day a MI Tanker acknowledges the Brigade he’s baptized in the nature of servitude. At 100 posts, it’s customary in the Brigade that the ROOKIE is plunged into bootcamp, forced to serve, help and if need be… sacrifice! They’re constantly tested. They’re punished with military banter taught to show no emotion, no feeling. Taught never to get discouraged nor complain until the death of the G.I. Joe toy line.

This was manufactured by the forefathers to create the world’s finest soldiers. After bootcamp they’re tossed into the field to put their wits and will against retail’s fury. It’s their initiation, the final assignment. They return as a MI Brigadier or not at all! So you see Charijoe, either you are a Brigadier or you're not. The best I can do is making you an honorary informant?


Wha? An out of stater wanting to join us? Hmmm....interesting.

Cavbeast! (stands and salutes) At ease private. I understand it was YOU that caught the Queen of Plastic breaching our state lines late last night. GOD must have blessed your arse with the eyes of an owl! You’re an exceptional sentinel!

So that's why I never find anything in the K-zoo area!

This morning the Toys 'R' Us had the new 5 packs of C.G.'s and Greenshirts. I picked up a box of Guards for myself and made eyes at the pretty checklane girl. I counted 3 greenshirt sets and two guard sets when I left. Nothing else there of note.

[Dedboy]

I hit Battle Creek Target and Walmart today after getting out of work. They both had a whole lot of nothing again (which is what I expected them to have), but I just can't stop looking every day. It's in my blood!!!

[dominic.18]

waterford kmart had a sharc tooth, vamp, hiss, and air chariot set. they also had a couple of the first two dvd packs.

[shdwknt]

bah - I was supposed to go out today too.. oh well.. I will check tomorrow (monday)

CobraVirus - what did you find in GR on saturday man?!?

[G.I.Eddie]

Target:

westland - nothing except an odd but possibly gold mine of a repack/return comic pack...it has a w5 IG/Destro comic with a w1 comic pack Scarlett and a Target exclusive GrandSlam in hawks place...so if you need a Grand Slam that are not available in stores any longer, here is your chance...

Livonia - nothing

Walmart:

Livonia - w1(?) vehicles and w5 c.p.'s, so basically nothing...

[Dedboy]

I checked out Target, Walmart, and Meijers in B.C. today around 10:30 am. Nobody had any new stuff, but I did come across something interesting. Meijers has new "Price Drop" tags on their joe pegs, showing a price of $5.88 from now until Nov. 14th or 17th. I'm hoping this means they'll either get new stuff in anticipation of higher sales due to the lower price or they'll get new stuff after what they have now sells better due to the lower price. Everyone keep an eye on Meijers to see what happens!

[Bermuda Mohawk]

a Target exclusive GrandSlam in hawks place...

It simply boggles the mind as to what people re-pack. For the Grandslam you could have traded for more than what they got.

good little bit of news there- thanks for that... The Meijers around here have had wave 9 scraps for awhile; here's hoping I can pick up wave 10 scraps there for 5.88...

[watson349]

yeah, that meijers in e.l. has corps guys for 77 cents.....i sometimes pick them up for my 7 year old step-daughter. she likes them but she LOVES her joes i bought her, expecially firefly.

[G.I.Eddie]

your not kidding...it was tough for me to pass up...

[Trooper Jon]

The Toys R's Us in Ann Arbor has multiples of the new 5-packs. I don't really like these, so they are all on the shelf. No new figures and only old vehicles.

[shdwknt]

Westnedge has nothing to report in portage/kzoo

I got out of a meeting around 11:30 and ran the strip

TRU had the new animated clone wars star wars figures - but nothing joes.
Target: has been sitting on the same 10figures now for a week
Walmart: same 6 figures.

[Bermuda Mohawk]

Everyone keep an eye on Meijers to see what happens!

Just got back from Canton Meijer and they had all the price drop tags up. Sale does indeed last til November 17th. So I will at least be able to grab repaint fodder cheaply for Tiger Force Bazooka and Marauders BBQ characters.

[Dedboy]

What's happenin'!? I hit up Target, Walmart, and Meijers on Beckley Rd. in B.C. this morning and got nothin'. When I checked the new Meijers on Columbia about an hour ago,they were about to put up a case of W4R5. Not too much to make ya' wanna whistle Dixie about!!! Oh well, I'll check again in the morning! Each new day brings the possibility of new joes!

[Dedboy]

Ok. So I checked Battle Creek Target, Walmart, and Meijers on Beckley Rd. again this morning and nothing. I expected as much (by the way, where are all the wave 10 joes being hidden?). The disturbing part of this trip is that I really wanted some Booberry or Frankenberry cereal, a craving that started last night. Between six different places that I've looked so far, not a single box of either in sight! And only one box of Count Chocula to be found! What's going on?! I just wanted the delicious taste of halloween-themed berry-flavored cereal for breakfast! No joes, no cereal....what's next, No Chistmas?!

[Bermuda Mohawk]

I lucked out, my brother got me a box of each at Target as a"finders fee" for getting him the recent Joes. :)

On the Joe front, I didn't find anything I needed today. This was the 1st time in 3 weeks I got to do a real toy trip, and it was sadly a waste of time. I really wanted a Firebat and Fang/Claw pack after waiting a week for HTS to restock, only to have them not restock until the very day their sale was over. Bastards.

Of note, the Grand Slam re-pack is still at the Westland Target. Was gonna report it, but being that the toy is a.) An exclusive and b). Out of production, I left it be in case anybody still needs that figure and wants one cheap.

Livonia Target and Walmart @ Middlebelt had nothing new

[Copper21]

Minor Joe Run today while out with wife...

Grand Rapids - Alpine
-TRU - nothing new, old SROs, revision case figures, not even new 5-packs

-Target - Revision figures, 1 Rattler, nothing else new

-Wal Mart - LOADS of revision case figures (AWESOME to see an endcap with 16 pegs full of joes - Even had 10, count'em 10 Snake Eyes with Timber, WAVE 5 comic packs, nothing else new

Also had Star Wars exclusive Gun Ships and A-wings for those interested...

[Nightbird]

My order of 3.99 troop builders from toywiz arrived today. I ordered a few paravipers and a couple of bazooka troopers. Otherwise the middle of the mitten is still a joe wasteland.

[Provn]

Seen revision case of Officer Flint wave at chesterfield walmart. They had one case in, bought the only Flint. Finally I have this guy. Left Doggie Snake eyes, Snowjob etc.

[Chuckles]

[245am]

One word for the Okemos Target/TRU/WM/Meijer. Nada.

[Nightbird]

Drove to Mt Pleasant today.

Kmart had the Firebat which I bought but the Desert Awe Striker, Fang/Claw and a couple of hiss tanks are still there. That isn't very exciting, but if any of you need snow serpents or bats and are close to mt pleasant hit up Walmart. There were 4 snow serpents at Walmart and 3 bats, and Meijer had 3 more snow serpents for 5.88. I have plenty so I left them on the pegs. In addition Walmart got a huge shipment of revision cases. They had Flint, flash, Storm Shadow v2, stalker, snow job, among others in plenty good supply. I picked up one of the Flint's but left the others. Just in case you guys wanted to know.

[khaos]

Lake Lansing Wal-Mart has w3 vehicles. Striker and Fang/Claw set are damaged a bit. Just enough to make me not buy them. I need a near mint set which I'm sure will pop up sooner than later.

[DOCHOLIDAY56]

Walmart,meijers,kmart----------owosso

nothing new so far,

something weird though is the wave 2 vechiles have been there ----like sets now nothing and transformers animated ----large deluxe in their place

Man...I gotta get me one of those Flints! It's the only revision figure I still need. Hopefully I can find one tomorrow when I go hunting! If not, I may need someone to hook me up. I checked the usual places in BC today and found zilch.

[Bermuda Mohawk]

Did a quick peek while out getting art supplies.

Target Canton South: Nothing new. Did notice the "price drop" tags were taken down, and new $6.84 shelf tags have been addded. Will this mean the price drop is permanent?

Walmart Canton: No new Joes, just craploads of revision stuff. New DX size Transformers Universe Sideswipe and Silverstreak were in however.

Novi Toys R Us had nothing of any interest to me. They did have newer 5 packs if one needed them still.

[245am]

oh, i should have added for the Lansing people, that yeah, Target here dropped their single prices to 6.84. Puts the place back on the map for me. (damn.)

I have yet to see the Broomhead Wave yet. They'll probably start showing up next week or sneak in during Veterans Day week.

Hey, what's up?! Just got back from a toy run and here's the rundown:

Battle Creek-

W Main Walamrt-Nothing new (they have waytoo many wave 9 pegwarmers and wave 1 dvd battle packs!)

And just as I sat down to type this up, I received my set of six wave 10 figures in the mail (including a variant Wraith) from smalljoes.com. They are awesome!!! I can't wait for them to start hitting mass retail (hopefully soon). If anyone wants pics just give me a holla and I'll try to get some posted!

Pick up another Fang and Claw at the Walmart in Belleville. I left the A.W.E. striker and Firebat.

have any of you seen the Walmart Exclusive Marvel Legends Ares wave in Michigan yet i have been looking for it and have yet to see it

By the way, if anyone is looking for anything just let me know. I go hunting just about every day and I'm more than willing to trade stuff or to just pick stuff up for people (within reason) and get reimbursed later!
