Did I miss something - these vehicles aren't K-mart exclusives, are they? I certainly hope not since there doesn't seem to be a K-mart in the Seattle area. Apparently they got banned along with Wal-mart...

They are not KMart exclusives. Target and Walmart here are still clogged up with Wave 1 vehicles and none I have been to have put any of the Wave 2 or 3 out. Other member have spotted them at KMart in their states. From a tip a few days ago, I was able to find a Firebat and a BAT at the Puyallup KMart. On a whim, I decided to check some other Kmarts and there they were.

Thanks for the quick response. Yeah - Targets, Freddies, etc. in this area are clogged with vehicles, waves 1-3 comic packs, and singles waves 7, 8 & 9. I'm hoping that with the holiday season around the corner we'll start to see stores getting more product in than usual and hopefully rearranging their shelves to get the newer stuff out. 2 months ago most of us were complaining that waves 8 and 9 had barely hit our area - guess we're being punished with too much product now... If only they could find a happy medium and would quit packing so many of the peg-warmers in the cases. A wave 9 box that was half BATs and/or Snow Serpents would be leaving the pegs far less clogged.

In case you missed it, all of Wave 11 is up for order on HasbroToyShop (limit of 1 per figure) and use the code MDCREW to save 20% (shipping and tax still apply). If you order the whole wave it will about $8 a figure shipped. They also have STAR WARS wave 4, but they don't ship until December 8th. They still have the Firebat and AWE Striker in stock. Well, Entertainment earth just shipped my FANG/CLAW and AWE STRIKER, so I won't need to hunt it down at Kmart. However, I may buy an extra FANG if I actually find it on the shelf. I kept my pre-order of Wave 11 from EE so I can keep on sealed. I'm still collecting 2 of each. Has wave 10 even hit the stores yet? I need a regular version of the Wraith figure. My friend said he found the Fang/Claw and Awe Striker at a Wal-mart, so they will be showing up everywhere. I agree with you about having a half BATs/Snow Serpent box, but I'd rather just have a sweet BAT Battle Pack. That'd be cheaper anyway. Happy hunting! YO JOE!

I ordered an Internet exclusive case of Wave 11 from BBTS which gives me an EEL in place of the Bazooka troper. Wave 10 hasn't been spotted yet here as far as I know. I ordered my Wave 10 from HTS and it should be arriving the end of the week.
I'm still waiting for the revision case with Flint to show up around here in my area. It's been a couple weeks since I saw the last revision case and a couple of the Walmats and Targets here haven't stocked up since then. Fred Meyers have stocked up with more Wave 7 cases. |

So I walked away from my first modern Joes today (not including the original Duke/CC comic pack - that thing was just hideous). I found the 2 TRU packs - Crimson Guards and FF/Green shirts - but after debating for a while I put them back. With the quantity of figures coming out, I decided I didn't need more repaints right now. I almost bought the Crimson Guard pack, but then I noticed a paint error on one of the guards helmets in one pack and a gun missing from another pack. There were only 2 packs and neither was complete. Nice quality control Habro... So what do you guys think - did anybody buy the latest TRU packs?

I bought the CG 5pack about a month ago and one was missing a backpack. Not a big deal, but kinda dissapointing. The CGs are my next favorite troop builders after the BATs.
I got the Greenshirts a week after the CGs for the blue Firefly and one of them was missing a hand gun. It's hard to tell sometimes whats actually in the box and whats hidden with the stands. |

I have some internet exclusive extreme 7 packs if anyone wants one and is willing to drive to Seattle. Just pay what I paid and you can get yourself desert or snow extreme packs.
