I hit a K-Mart on my way home from work and the toy dept looks like someone picked it up like a snow globe and shook it quite vigorously. I don't think I could have found them with government trained Joe sniffing dog .

Congrats on the find recondo. I looked this morning in Tampa and talked to a lady there. She told me she hadn’t received them yet and didn’t know when they were coming in. However, This is the last I am gonna look for them. and here is why:
I always pre order my figures incase I can’t find them in stores. However since the rise of gas prices I have been relying on my pre orders even more. I have been doing the math and it cost me more to look for them, then it does to get them off line. I only buy 1 of each figure, comic and vehicle. I missed the pre order on HTS however I ordered on BBTS. I am paying $64.99 +$10.99 shipping which equals 75.98 for all 4........ The way I have it figured is, that everyone going out looking, more then twice is actually spending the same or maybe even more then the pre orders online, depending on how far the kmart is or what the gas mileage of your car is... If you happen to find all 4 of them in the same store at one time; the total with 7% tax is $64.15 you actually saved 11.79 minus cost of gas, but if you only find 3( such as recondo did) you are going to have to make another trip out again. The closest kmart to me is 10 miles. My car gets 20 to the gallon. So 1 trip, would cost me 4 dollars. (which it did) I know there is nothing like the thrill of the hunt and trying to find hard to find items. But money is tight with me and I try to get stuff as cheap as possible. I just thought this might help some people save money. I know there are coupons out there to, and I didn’t figure them in, but even with 5 dollars off that is only 1 round trip to the store of gas. I hope this helps people out a little. good luck guys Last edited by Tunnel Rat; 06-13-2008 at 01:21 PM.. |

Great news to hear these on the market already!! I was next to a KMart today on other errands and so I went in. Well, all I found was lint, rats and bad service. Seriously, there was a huge pile of boxes blocking the toy aisle and I asked about the items and they said that there was no toy staff today. I asked why there was a giant pile of boxes blocking the whole action figure end and they said they'll get to it sometime later. I looked at most of the boxes I could see and none of them had any markings leading me to think that there was some good joe stuff in there. I've always felt that KMart is pretty much the gutter as far as cleanliness and service goes, and today proved it. This was the last straw for this KMart. Last time my wife and I went there it was really bad - cashier apparently had something against my wife being Japanese. )(*#@)%$#@)($*@#()$*(@!#$. I hope everyone finds them! I'll give my money to BBTS, Target, TRU or wherever else but KMart.
I wonder how the alternating case items will affect the "4 pack" pre-order at BBTS? It might make the fill rate a lot less perhaps? Hm, we'll wait and see.

I wondered the same thing. I was just checking the BBTS website and saw that they shipped 1 of each to a case. I ordered mine from Diamond comics and the description said one of each per case 4 total so I hope that they ship that way instead of 2 HISS tanks or 2 Vamps per case.
