I have been searching for the first 15 figures for about 3 weeks. I have been checking online and at Wal-Marts that whole time. I placed orders for them online and were told they are on back order. Then one day I checked Target and it all changed.

I went to target and found the Joe 5 pack and bought it right away. The next day I went to Target and found the Cobra 5 pack and the carded Snake Eyes with the white Timber. I was pumped, Got 11 figures in 2 days!

Then for the 3rd straight day I went to Target not expecting much. I went there and the shelfs were completely empty. Oh well I said. My phone rang and I went to check out the computer games while I talked to my buddy.

I then walked back over to the toys just for the hell of it. During my 10 minutes away from the toys, someone filled the shelf with 1 of each of the carded figures. I quickly grabbed the 4 I didn't have. Rushed to the checkouts and paid for them with a huge smile.

I got all 15 figures in 3 days after getting nothing for the first 3-4 weeks.

Again, congrats!

Great man, glad to see you got them all. Target really does seem to be the place to get them. My local WM is never going to get them it seems, but Target had them in real quick.
