I've gotten lucky 3 times finding figures at k-Mart of all places...

- I Bought all of wave one with a black timber SE. (which was my first 25th purchase ever of any of the line- lost my new era JOEs collector's virginity that day)

-Plus a TON of army builder Crimson Guards, Troopers and Officers.

-And two of Flash.

My best luck at "brick and mortars" has been the more out of the way Wal-Marts. The Targets in BR SUCK! Big time. They really, really do. It's almost as if someone knows right when the stock gets put out and snaps them all up. I was there today, and they had the comic packs of course, and a single hooded CC. Lame. They also had the huge Star Wars exclusive monster, though, not that I care about that.

Toys R Us has been busy selling Instant Credit.... aka offering Credit Card to people.

then they shaft their employees if they can't make those numbers high, when offering them.

it's corporate america. that's why TRU has gone really bad these days.

TRU when it's scalper-free and I'm the only one there. I HATE WAL-MART.

Toys R us has been a joke as far as the 25th Anniversary figures were concerned.
My local toys us missed Waves 4, 5, 6 ,8.
and Comic packs Wave 4 and 5.

They have just now jumped on ship with their new larger space and larger single figure ordering so I expect more collectors will have
better luck with them in the future.

My toysRus still has not recieved their new exclusive 5 and 3 pack sets.

The stores ALL suck here. I chose walmart because there is one about an hour away that had more than 20 cases of figures the other day. So that tipped the scales in walmarts favor. I'll NEVER see 20+ cases of Joes at any other store. So walmart wins!
