I made several rounds today. Went to Brentwood, several shops in Nashville, Rivergate... All in all, I hit up about 16 stores in a whirlwind trip. I've seen 2 or 3 Targets with $14.99 ROC Night Ravens. Here's what I picked up:

If anybody in Middle TN sees an Extreme Conditions Arctic set, please let me know. That is one thing that I have not been able to find. I haven't seen any of those at Marshall's, but I have seen the Desert set at Marshall's and TJ Maxx in the Nashville area. A heads-up from somebody would be great.
What I have found are Wave 5 vehicles at Ross. I am not planning on keeping all of them, but I've got 6 Stingers and 6 Arctic Hiss tanks. I've picked up alot of army builders at TJ Maxx and Marshall's: Cobra Divers, Cobra Troopers, Ninja Vipers, Viper/IG Comic packs. I still have not seen the Red Ninjas or CGs that others have reported.

I went to Boro Ross and Marshalls today and found a few goodies. The later ROC waves are starting to trickle in. I found a City Strike Duke and Jungle Assault Ripcord today, among other stuff. |

I wanted to post this and maybe later post it for the entire tank community. I went to Stones River Mall today to stop by TRU Express. This was my 2nd trip to the store. They have zero Joes, and only 3 or 4 MU (all very old stock; spiderman, iron man, etc).
The guy in the store didn't recognize me, but I went in there a month ago and asked him the same question. I asked if he had any 25th or ROC Joes in the back, or possible MU somewhere. He said no, and that all of their stock was on the floor. I told him that I visited the Lebanon TRU Express yesterday and they had some 25th HOH figs (see above post and pics) and they might have more in the back, but he couldn't go check because there was too many people in the store and he was the only person on duty at the time. The guy at the boro TRU Express told me, and I quote, "I go through all the boxes that come in, lay out all the stock before I put them on the floor, to see if there's anything I want first. I usually keep that stuff for myself when it arrives. So we won't have anything in the store for a while." I understand the 'perks' of working at a store like that. But, of course, this annoys me to no end. He wipes out all of the good stock because he too is a collector. Then probably sells it on ebay. I'm pretty sure I won't be going to that store anymore, and have a right mind to contact the manager. But knowing my luck, the manager is in on the gig and doesn't care. Thoughts? |

I know they're not allowed to do that at the regular TRU stores as they're suppose to allow the customers first dibs. I would think that company policy would be the same for an Express store as well. I would contact corporate, just in case the manager was in on it to. That may just be me though. |

Went to Franklin today and picked up 2 HoH's today at TJ Maxx. Got Zartan and SE. Also picked up 2-pack Deep Six and Rock N Roll, and 2 Cobra Ninjas.
Rest of the stores over there (TRU, Target, Wal-Mart) were big fails. |

I live on the north side of town, and I still see the POC Beachhead alot. If you are patient, I'm sure you'll run across one down around cool springs. I have seen him at several Walmarts, as they seem to be restocking over the last couple of weeks.
