They've done something. We got wave 3 the day after christmas, and wave 4 was online a week after that. Hell, I'm waiting for wave 5 or the lost ROC alpha vehicles, the next wave of mechs, ect, but I won't complain if they don't show up until april, either.

I found 3 shock troopers and a couple of alley vipers right around new years...since then it's been slow as far as POC goes. I did pick up 3 VAMPs and a Fury at Ross. I have been cleaning out Marshall's and TJ Maxx with their $2 and $3 clearance figures, mostly ROC army builders. Also got a couple of sand serpents at Ross. I keep waiting for those Target exclusives to show up again at Ross. I think it will happen very soon.
Got a Jabba the Hutt set at Walmart for $19. I'd like to get that tie bomber on clearance, but every walmart I've checked has it regular price. Very sorry to hear about Outer Limits in Murfreesboro. Cool shops like that are few and far between these days. I wish the owner/employees the best of luck.

I was informed that Kingsport had them for $19 but it costs me $15 in gas to get up there so it wasn't worth it. Elizabethton had 4, they moved them & now they have 5, still full price. They probably won't put them on clearance until the very end, right before they get rid of the clearance aisle altogether. The people around here will act nice & friendly to your face but they don't want anything to do with anybody. They'll talk to you but that's as far as it goes. Don't ever try to make friends with them. When the conversation is over you go your separate ways. Cold, apathetic machines. Not even human anymore. Living here feels like Invasion Of The Body Snatchers or The Stepford Wives. Or those zombie humanoids from The Black Hole.I learned the hard way. I don't even bother anymore. Just working on escaping this hell. That's the only solution. Last edited by Steelgrave; 01-27-2011 at 03:46 PM.. |

Yeah I saw my Tie bombers go down then up too...I did see my WM had the DCUC GL 5 pack down to $20 now - for those interested. I also picked up the 2 pack of female imperial officers to use the heads (at least the one that DOESNT look like Luke) for customs...this is the first time I remember being patient at WM paid off: from $15 to $11 then down to $8 right after X Mas... today they had one left so I figured what the heck $8 isn't so bad, but it rang up $5 so Yay me LOL!...Still no POC luv tho

Wal-Mart in Johnson City & Elizabethton have the Marvel Universe Wave 11 (Iron Man 2020, Ghost Rider, etc.) figures in today. Elizabethton has completely reorganized the toy section, and left six pegs for Joes. Somebody come and get these damn Destros.

Yes, u can imagine my disappointment.
My son is into Disney cars so we did score him some of the harder to find ones he was missing so it wasnt as bad i guess. He is 3 and can tell me which ones he has and doesnt have, he has pretty much all of them and the different versions(300+ last we counted). I wish i had half the memory he has, lol.So now we are down to looking for new release ones. |

My son is 4 and he can name all of my original Joes from 82-87. He helped me change out all of their O-rings and would name them off. He refuses to touch or learn the names of any Cobras. Needless to say I've trained him a little
