Well I just got back from transporting all of my possessions down from Minneapolis to Phoenix Via San Antonio. All I have to say I damn man, I really feel bad for you guys!! I hit pretty much every retailer of Joes along I-35 South and I-10 West (TRU, Wal-Mart, and Target) and all I found were a couple of places with occasional wave 3 revisions on the shelves. Though I did liberate 3 25th Crimson Guards from 2 different Wal-Marts in Oklahoma along the way. The second one in a VERY small town that surprisingly had IG Destro and the Dreadnok 2-pack. Transformers were even worse off stock wise.
So for those of you that happen to live there, you have my condolences on the distribution. I honestly think I have been to the black hole of Hasbro's Distribution.

I was able to get wave 5 before christmas and ive been seeing wave 4-5 on a consistant basis. Althought wave4 seems to not last very long. Ive had no issues getting my joes at all during their release. | |

One would think that a major highway from Chicago to Tulsa (I-44/I-55) would yield something, anything. And I even have a WM distribution center in the town I live in. Just recently I have found wave 3 at my local WM. I FINALLY got Stalker, not the fixed version unfortunately, but I got him. Now if I could just find waves 4-8.

| | Elite Officer Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: Midland, TX Posts: 731 | I live in Midland, TX. Its right on I-20 and is 10 minutes east of Odessa TX. I've never been to Eustas, Mureal and Courage, hell never heard of them lol. I picked up 1 cg yesterday from TRU and 2 more CGs today from Wal-Mart. Going to use them to trade for stuff. I guess im lucky. Sorry for those who live in the "black hole". Hopefully it will get better for you guys. | |

| | Kota Master..Bolo Nemesis Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: NW DFW Texas Posts: 1,484 | I like Kalibus must live outside of the black hole. I picked up all of wave 5 in triplicate with some before christmas.. And have since picked up several others and left several others.
Then again I live in or just outside of a major metropolis. I live in Lake Worth which is right outside of fort Worth and 45 min. from Dallas.. depending on traffic of course.

| | Cobra Viper Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: Houston, Tx Posts: 246 | I live in Houston, the first ever comic pack I found was Breaker/Destro in early Jan. Since then it has been the same three turds hanging at every WM, TRU, & Target. In the Katy area though, some ass has been buying the SS/SE two pack and replacing the SS with the one from the leigions 5 pack, for returns. I've seen this at three different stores and at least 4 on the pegs at each store. As far as single figs, I've been looking at the same ragedy remnants (CC and Shipwreck) of wave 5 since Dec. | |
