Wow its good to see a fellow Mississipian on Message boards!!!

I live in the central part of the stat and I can tell you its been hell finding figures around here. We have 7 Wal-Marts, 2 Targets and one TRU and we still cant get any shipments of figures around here!!!

I have one or two figures here and there but eventually had to get my set from Ebay!!

Thats just terrible!!

Keep posting your fiends and maybe we can help each other out!!

[uncleneat]

Wow, 2 people from Ms. Thought I was an army of one. You guys stay in touch. Going to have a get together with fellow collectors Ms and Ala. We did it a couple of years ago and had a blast. My name is Rich and I'm living in Starkville. Should be a lot of fun.

Yo Joe
Rich

Oh Single packs hard to come by up here, still looking for SE with black Timber. Seeing lots of S6. Some older ones at Tuesday Morns store.

[tkprime]

Wave 4 & 5 have arrived (at least 4 cases of each are in the Gulfport Ms. Wal-Mart (so much that it brought a tear to my eye, a whole end cap of G.I.Joes). I bought myself 3 air troopers, 4 Crimson Guards, Destro Iron Grenadier Leader, Flash, and snow Job.

[ranoobu]

You, sir.. are so lucky

[tkprime]

Now this is weird, I walked into Dollar General in saucer and low and behold there were Valor Vs. Venom 2 packs (bombstrike's wave) cobra venom cycle with viper, missl storm with wild bill, ringneck with neo viper, pit viper with hiss tank, quickstrike with sgt bazooka. What the hell is going on? Is this happening everywhere, because I called 4 Dollar General stores and they all got em, so start checking.

[wraith]

Found wave 2 25th comic packs at Walmart in Hernando, MS today.

[SnakeEyes79]

Wow its good to see a fellow Mississipian on Message boards!!!

[beachhead1979]

Found all wave 4 comic packs at walmart in wiggins. Also found dreadnoks comic pack and single destro pack and destro breaker comic packs. found roadblock at bay st louis walmart. Its been hard to find much of anything unless you go to each and every store to buy a single figure.

[MSU44]

Hey guys....grew up in Bay St. Louis, MS live in Houston TX now. For work I manage TX, LA and South MS for my company and travel throughout so any South MS or Slidell, New Orleans sightings I'll let ya know as well.

[ironman7708]

Got lucky and found all of wave 7 at Picayune Walmart last night. Should be starting to show up more in MS.

[jeremywatts]

They landed about 2 or 3 days ago in Baton Rouge

[ironman7708]

Wiggins MS has tons of wave 5 and 6 joes. They've been there for over a week. Three boxes to be precise. They tons of crimson guards and iron grenadier destros, torpedo, snow job, armored cobra commander ect. Just a heads up in case someone missed these waves. Plus they won't get any newer waves till these sell out.

[ironman7708]

found wave 8 cobra commander at picayune walmart today. Must have sold out of the others.

[coreyrc]

All of wave 8 and SE, Viper, & Spirit from Wave 7 at Holly Springs Wa-Mart today! there were actually 3 Bludds there!

[cobra_temple]

Hey guys! Just giving a shout out to my local Joes in Mississippi. I've been hitting the stores pretty regularly and just checking to see what you guys are looking for. Glad to see y'all here.

[coreyrc]

Anybody in MS spotted any Wave 4 comic packs yet?

[Echo7Solo]

Anybody in MS spotted any Wave 4 comic packs yet?

Yes. Target in Horn Lake has them right now.

[coreyrc]

Wholly crap I gotta go there today! They have very many or do I need to hurry?

[coreyrc]

Dammit... by the time I got there all they had was two Copperhead/Shipwreck packs... oh well...

[delta]

Hello all! My name is Dan, I live in Alabama, but My Gal lives in Jackson, and I plan on moving there soonish.
I love it there, and go quite often (every other week or so). Please give me the heads up if you know something going on there Joe or Transformers related. Groups/Conventions ect...

If it's any help here is a link to the Alabama thread http://www.hisstank.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3419&page=2
I posted some places you might not normaly look for Joes if your find yourself there.

thanks

[coreyrc]

Tupelo Wal-Mart (the one on Main St, not the one near the mall) had a few Wave 4 comic packs yesterday. No Duke/Red Star packs, but plenty of CH/SW and two FF/SS.

[ironman7708]

Wiggins walmart still has tons of wave 5 and 6 joes, plus some wave 7. Anyone out there that needs iron grenadier destro or armored cobra commander, snow job, torpedo, rock and roll, crimson guards, they are jam packed full. two rows of pegs full. about 6 or 8 pegs total.

[cobra_temple]

It looks like the latest waves are hitting the Targets and Walmarts in the Jackson area. I came across the remnants of new cases in Ridgeland and Flowood. There were some Hiss Drivers, Wild Bills and Torpedoes on the pegs, as well as one General Hawk from the new wave. I'm just glad to see some new stuff on the shelves. No vehicle waves or comic packs yet.

[coreyrc]

If anybody in North MS finds Wave 9 or any vehicles, let me know! I can't find them anywhere, and it's giving me the itch, and I don't wanna have to pay e(vil)Bay prices!!!

[SnakeEyes79]

Still slow around here, But Finally picked up Wild Bill yesterday at the Madison Wal-Mart.

Hey man, my friend found the Bat, Bazooka, Duke, and black Stormshadow at the Target on Lakeland Drive (which has been dry for months). I guess it's all in the timing! Let me know what you're looking for and let's stay in touch. I live over in Madison. :)

BAZOOKA & BATS!!!!!! When?
They never have anything & I go to the one on Lakeland every other day.

Well at least I got the Sideshow 12" SnakeEyes ordered already.

[coreyrc]

Ahhhh! I have the worst luck. Went to Tupelo Wal-Mart on Main St. and they had some wave 7 and wave 8... then I noticed they had a Wild Bill and 2 Torpedos w/o the 25th logo! So I just missed the rest of Wave 9! Bastards.

[cobra_temple]

BAZOOKA & BATS!!!!!! When?

I know, they suck and never have anything on the shelves. He said it was over the weekend -- Friday night, I'm positive. I check the one on I-55 pretty regularly, but he checks Lakeland since that's on his side of town. I'm tempted to drive to some other Walmarts it the area, but I hate to burn the gas for nothing (it's so disappointing to find nothing). I'm sure that these will hit in good numbers eventually.

[SnakeEyes79]

Hell everytime I find some at the WalMart it's in Madison.ROTFL

[cobra_temple]

They're about the only Walmart that continuously orders new stock, with all the pegwarmers at the other locations (Lady Jaye and CC). But I've noticed that Flowood and Ridgeland get stuff in and it disappears quick. The cases barely make it to the pegs sometimes.

[coreyrc]

Anybody found the new vehicles yet? I see Torpedo & Wild Bill of Wave 9 everywhere around here, so I know I'll eventually find the rest, but I have seen literally no sign of the vehicles...

[Butters_Stotch]

Wow More MS Folks.

I lots of time Cherry Pick the Metro area when I'm up there. Down here in H'burg I hardly find anything.

[Sniper]

You can thank my brother for that crap load of Joes. He returned over 60 single carded one at that WM. He just decided he didn't want them anymore and still had the receipt.

I've seen Wiggins Walmart Joe pegs. They are jammed full and there are even more of the wave 4-6 figures in the back. You probably saw some of these exact ones.

H'burg has nothing everytime I go that way. I'm going that way Sunday to visit my aunt. I'm about 1 hour drive away and used to work at FGH.

[coreyrc]

Tupelo Wal-Mart (the one on Main, yet again!) has all four vehicles there NOW! I just left about 20 minutes ago with one of each, and they had 2 Vamps, 1 TB/RAM, 2 Arm./Chariot, and 2 black HISSes left! Still just Torpedo & Wild Bill from the Wave 9 cases tho... :-(

That's so wrong... I can't even comment.

That's so wrong... I can't even comment.

LOL

[cobra_temple]

I'm still checking around the Jackson area for the vehicle wave, but no luck so far. Walmart hasn't moved the wrestling stuff out of the way to make room for the vehicles. So, the search continues...

[cobra_temple]

The vehicle wave showed up at Target and TRU (Jackson). Target had one Vamp left and has reset their toy aisles to include 12" figures (and the Star Wars Clone Wars stuff). TRU had some vehicles on the lower shelf on the military aisle.

The DVD sets were at Target I-55. They had 2 left.


Has anyone seen the new comics packs anywhere in Jackson?

[Sniper]

I went to the south H'burg WM about 2 weeks ago and just the other day. They have nothing past wave 4 (singles) except a wave 8 CC. There were a few old comic packs. That's it.

[ironman7708]

wow, wiggins walmart still has wave 5 joes. no one seems to want or need these since they've been there
for two months now. Crimson guards, snow job, torpedo, ect. just sitting there. They won't get any more till those are gone either.

[SnakeEyes79]

MASS Device packs found in Flowood & Madison Wal-Marts Sat.
Didn't get em, wating on the next wave of single packs & Veihicals.

[tkprime]

I cleaned out the HWY 49 Gulfport Wal-Mart, I scored 4 Vehicle Cases, 2 Cases of DVD joes,one case of Wave 5 Comic packs and Wave one of the 12 inch figures. AH, bliss is the look on the cashiers face when I brought those up to the register. (and before anyone blasts me, I'm only keeping one set for myself, the rest is for various friends.

[Butters_Stotch]

Target Hburg: Has 1 ROC DVD pack and Most of Wave 7
Wal-mart Petal: HAD 2 ROC DVD Pack, 2 Mass DVD Pack, Wave 4 Scar, Some Cobra Commanders, Snowjob Tons of Wave 4 CP
Wal-mart Laurel: Has 1 Hiss Tank, 1 Vamp, TONS of Wave 4 CP

Will keep updated

[coreyrc]

Wal-Mart at both Starkville and West Point have both DVD packs!
Starkville has a**loads of Wave 4 CPs and some Torpedos & Wild Bills (w.9 pack-ins)
West Point has TONS of Wave 7 (odd?)

[Butters_Stotch]

I'm so Tempted to buy Most of the Mass Device packs I see, I so love the Trooper figure. Much more than my already massive Legion of 5pack Troops...

[HonestAbeJoeHooah]

Hey everyone. I am in North East MS. Fulton to be exactly sort of close by. So the Tupelo/Fulton area. Not much here but older waves even in Tupelo which is a shame.

I have been on yojoe for a while and am new here. I have a bunch of Joe stuff I am willing to sell/trade and would like to work out some deals with MS. Collectors who can get things where You are that I can not get here. Right now especially the dvd Battle Packs and Wave 9 stuff...even I saw someone had mentioned wave 5 and 6 hanging around at their Wally World still. Get in touch and God Bless,

Rev.Jeremy Lincoln & Family

[coreyrc]

duuude... Wave 9 is packed to the brim at West Point Wal-Mart (actually, that was Wednesday, so they could all be gone... but as many as they had, I'm betting they still have some!), and Starkville has most of em too... And Columbus is loaded with W9 and W5 CP's (no black headed destro's tho)... oh and pretty much walmart around has the Wave1 Vehicles (HISS, RAM/SerpChariot, TB/Armadillo, VAMP) and the dvd packs...

[HonestAbeJoeHooah]

[HonestAbeJoeHooah]

[coreyrc]

I went to Target at Southaven, still no Rattlers there... and HonestAbeJoeHooah, which Wave 9 figs do you need? I'd be glad to pick some up for ya!

[HonestAbeJoeHooah]

the cool thing is that 9 finally landed at wally world here. Her and the kids went there last night and, she scored me a BAT and a snow serpent! I put them on the trade block here but, we will see what happens.

I truly appreciate the offer on picking them up man. i will pm you in a bit- you have aim or yahoo?

[Tanksmasher]

BHH)

[coreyrc]

(lol i know it's a retarded username... it's all i could think of at the time!)

[ironman7708]

found wave 9 at two diff. walmarts down south here close to louisiana. can't give my locations away though lol. Only found one bat and plenty of the other
joes. Also still plenty of cobra troopers at the walmart in wiggins along with snow job, rock and roll, and various other from that wave if anyone needs some of the older stuff.

[cobra_temple]

Finally found some of the previous comic packs that I missed with Copperhead, Shipwreck, Iron Grenadier, and Red Star. Walmart is still choking on the first wave and won't clear them out.

[tkprime]

Updated Joe Sightings (If you're in MS. give me a PM, cause I've had scalpers hit from my last report).

Here's stuff in my area.

Newest comic waves (IG-Destro, Tripwire-CC, Falcon-Nem Enforcer).

Revised wave whatever(BBQ, Torpedo, Bats, Snow Serpent,Hawk, Bazooka).

New Corps 10 pack with specific weapons, new Ultra Corps.

Also newer versions of Corps vehicles with figures with new "Bio-Tags" (like a mini filecard).

DVD G.I.JOE pack #1 & 2

G.I.Joe 12 inch wave 1 (Flint, Dusty, Bazooka & Cobra Trooper).

G.I.Joe Vehicle wave 1 (HISS, Vamp, and the other 2)

[iflye8s]

Hey fellow's...Finally got the chance to put up a post. I'm a busy man and don't get to do this often. I'm an instructor pilot here at Columbus AFB and long time collector. I'm from H'burg originally but I went to MS State and now I'm back here. Wal/K-Marts are terrible here and I've been driving to Tuscaloosa and Tupelo to get my joes. If any of you guys in the Golden Triangle area find those new TRU 3 packs, pick up an extra one of each and I promise you will be compensated. I'm scared I'm going to miss them and then have to pay a lot for them on evilbay.
Thanks

so I think this states sightings thread is pretty much the least active out of the 50 overall. I could be wrong but, if We are not dead last We are running a tight race for sure! Lol

[cobra_temple]

Yeah, it's been pretty quiet here lately. I'm actually going out today and look around. It's been a tight month for me here, but today is payday!!! :)

[cobra_temple]

Has anybody in Mississippi seen the Cobra Rattler in stores? I've been in both of our local Targets, but they don't even have space/stickers for the exclusive. They either haven't gotten any in or they came and went quickly.

[Echo7Solo]

both Olive Branch and Horn Lake Targets have the planes.

[cobra_temple]

Cool. If anybody spots Wave 10, give a shout out.

[CharIJoe]

both Olive Branch and Horn Lake Targets have the planes.

please, someone in missisipi take Echo7Solo to a strip club.















told ya i'd do it. lol

Well, we used to have a few decent clubs here until they moved them to the worst side of Jackson.

[CharIJoe]

its okay if someone takes him to an indecent club :)


(looks around) (whew, hes not online)

Oh, there ain't no way I'm going to West Jackson. ;)

Has anybody found any figs from the latest waves? The pegs are choking with "refresh wave" items at the moment. Wild Bill is in abundance...ugh.

[cobra_temple]

Good lord, HonestAbe... Where did you score the pic of that giant Mexican dish? You could hide a couple of HISS tanks in there! Thanks for dropping in the quarter for scale. LOL

Where are all of you guys located? I think it would be a good idea to get to know each other and to get this thread active.

I'm Steve...from Madison. I've been an ARAH collector since '82 (when I was 12 years old). I've been collecting a few things during the 90's up till now (mostly re-releases and VvV line). I now collect the 25th line and a few vehicles as well. I'm not a die-hard collector (completist), but I really dig the things Hasbro's done recently (with the exception of Sigma Six).

[cobra_temple]

I've seen the Desert AWE Striker around town, but little else. Anything new hitting the pegs in your area?

[oliverbox]

HOLY CRAP!!! There are a TON of Mississippians on here! This is great!

Sound off, fellas! Where is everybody from?
I live in Pontotoc, just West of Tupelo. I grew up in Aberdeen.

I'm adding all you boys as friends on here. This is great.

[cobra_temple]

Finally ran across the Firebat at Walmart down here. They also had the F.A.N.G. and C.L.A.W. set. And the pegs are jammed with refresh waves including Hawk, Stalker, Snow Job, Rock n' Roll, Beach Head, Firefly, etc. With two more waves coming, it's a good bet that Wally World ain't gonna see them anytime soon.

We are pretty close. I'm in Senatobia, about 70-80 miles from your area. Just off of I-55. And also, Cobra Temple, I was in your neck of the woods about 3 weeks ago & found the claw/ fang set,the firebat, & desert awe (left that one...already had one) at the Target on County Line rd. in Jackson. Keep checking!

[iflye8s]

I mostly know of sightings in the Golden Triangle (Columbus), but my wife is a cancer patient and we go all over to see doctors. Here's what I've found lately.

In columbus: the refresh wave abounds at WalMart. Slim pickings at K-Mart, I picked up the firebat there and they had a Sharc but someone had already raped it and returned it.
In West Point: the same...pegs full of repackaged old stuff

In Tupelo: WalMart the same...ToysRUs...the same (they did have that cool PTE F-22 though)

Tuscaloosa: Target, 2 each of the conquest and rattlers, nothing new. Walmart refresh wave. ToysRUs...a bunch of old crap.

I can't find the new senior officer packs anywhere. I'm also looking for the Fang so if you see those, Id appreciate a shout out.

Later

[cobra_temple]

I can't find the new senior officer packs anywhere. I'm also looking for the Fang so if you see those, Id appreciate a shout out.

Toys R Us is choking on shelf-fulls of the original three-packs. Lime green Duke ain't going no where, so I expect these things to be on the shelves forever. And there's no room for new packs, so I'm curious if we'll ever see the senior officer packs.

Hey, it's great that we're all talking and getting store reports! Let's keep this thread alive and active. It's great to meet and talk to local Tankers!

[cobra_temple]

I mostly know of sightings in the Golden Triangle (Columbus), but my wife is a cancer patient and we go all over to see doctors.

Prayers going out to you and your wife, my friend. I'm having surgery myself on December 9th to remove a tumor. I hope that we all get good news real soon.
