Torgos, keep checking the WM on 19th. I picked up a set there yesterday. The employee scanned them and said they were pending 2 more cases(of course she had no way of knowing what waves). That was pretty much my trip into Ocala for the month, so all the rest are yours. Hope you find them soon, they are really nice. I may pick up a couple more Ripcords and Tunnel Rats for customs. Found two of the SE body Steel Brigade figures at the Target in Lady Lake.
Also found new repaint wave of Marvel Universe, for anyone that collects those: Electro variant, Iron Fist variant, reissues of Spider Woman, Captain Marvel and some others(Steve Rogers). I only picked up the Electro and the Captain Marvel since I missed them the first time around. No Crimson Hisses to be found, but that's ok. Hts will restock soon. |

It's always like this in Florida. My Miami trips usually have the finds I want and the rest of the state has nothing. I do have 1 Walmart around Jax that I found wave 2 about a month before everywhere else came out and i plan on checking tomorrow so I'll post if anything. I wouldn't cry too much though, since wave 2 is all over the place I'm sure wave 3 including SS will be all over too.
I dream of the day not too far in the future that I pass up wave 3 SS at a store because I'll say to myself "well I don't need an 11th Storm Shadow but I'm sure glad to see him as a peg warmer". I said that about Zartan when it was in Big Lots and I say that now when I see Wave 2 Snake Eyes and Fire Fly. I wonder if Hasbro will release another repainted Destro that is like a tanish wall color with paited black dot holes that blends into the toy isle wall and he's called "Peg Warmer Destro" JK! Wouldn't that be great. Now that I brought it up, does everyone relise that "peg warmer figs" are a collectors worst enemy in more way than one. If a store has a bunch of Joes for instance, even if they're all the same it just means that no new figures will be ordered until they sell almost out! How suck is that? This means when ever Hasbro kicks out a repaint or suckish figure that sits for months or even years it stops a store like Walmart from ordering more! Even worse alot of Walmarts gave up on carrying Joes after the ROC Movie line disaster! I guess this rule doesn't apply to Star Wars for some reason but everyother line, oh yes your store will see on its sales charts that "well see here...the GI Joes sat around for a long time and we moved a bunch to clearence so next time we order lets cut out Joes because nobdy buys them". When Really it's just that 1 or 2 bad Joes sat in multiples because nobody wants the same figure over and over again in repaints or bad designs.

LOL! Yeah man, you're right! I do have a teeny tiny bit of hope when it comes to retail. At least Santa is bringing me wave 4 or a lump of coal, I can never be to sure.

Thanks for the info bro! My financial situation kinda sucks what with Christmas and all but I still have a little bit of fun money stashed somewhere. The thing I hate is the 18 mile one way trip to Ocala proper. Just can't handle filling the tank so many flippin' times!
It sounds like those of us that preordered Wave 4 should have them well before Christmas. SmallJoes lists them as likely arriving Monday, and I think Kokomo is the same. BBTS I guess has some in stock/pending shipment. |

Has anyone seen wave 3 at brick n' mortar retail anywhere other than Walmart? Target perhaps?

I hit two targets, a TRU and 5 Wal-Marts yesterday. Only found them at one of the WMs. Both Targets had a couple of the "variant" Steel Brigade figure, though.
