Found several wave 1 figures at TRU today including Firefly and CC. So much for it being a "chase" figure. There were a ton of Jungle Vipers but no AVs. They are having a sale today, 2 for 10.

found 2 AVs and 2 snow-troopers today at the 2 for 10 sale. Also, bought an extra Destro and Dusty to place in the toys for tots bin. Got the snow-troopers for my AT-AT that my wife got me for my Birthday Wed. Man, I've got a great wife. Here and I will both be at the Con in March.

I personally know the 2 guys that work in the toy department and both of them collect, one collects Joes, I would think they would know.

you can believe what you want. My wife and I both seen it there. What would I have to gain by saying I seen it if I never did? The people that work there are far from collectors. Last year when RoC hit, Wal Mart was light years behind Target and TRU in getting out stock. I asked a worker there when they would get it and I was told it was a few weeks away. Walking out of the toy section I found the big display in the middle of the main isle full of RoC. So going by what the store tells you is completely useless. And once again, why would I make it up? Obviously if they aren't showing up then when one does it disappears. So you not seeing it a few days after it was on the shelf doesn't mean it wasn't there.

Remember most people in there just work there they wont know the difference between GIJOE and CORPS Stuff to the it looks the same

I bought my vamp in the WAL-MART of the big curve in North Miami and when I bought it there were at least 4 more when I left. my local Target has nothing on the pegs just 4 lonely storm shadows sitting by themselves.

Remember first come first served

Saw some POC singles and alpha wave 2 (ice cutter) at K-mart a few minutes ago. It looked like a revision wave as it was Dusty, AV, JV, Recondo, Snow Job, Duke, both SE etc. If there is any hope of seeing waves 3 and 4 of this line it looks like it's gonna be K-mart and TRU most likely.

Funny thing is, I know 2 of the people that stock at that Walmart and when something new comes in that I am looking for, they text me, always have since 25th. I just am having a hard time believing that this Walmart had the Vamp as like mentioned they are way behind and have not received new stock for quite a while. The one collector there has a lot of Gi Joes, I have seen his collection so I am pretty sure he knows the difference. There are 3 of us that hit that Walmart all the time. I usually go to do regular shopping but check the Joes while I am there and the shelf has looked exactly the same for the last month, no space for anything new. If something new comes in, I am usually the first to know as I get a text about it.

you dont have to believe me like i said. but really theres no reason to lie. just because they say nothing new has come in doesnt mean that it hasnt been sitting in the back for a month. these vehicles have been out a while now. wal mart has had wave 1 clogging the shelves since they hit. the worker is probably right. nothing new has come in. its been sitting in back waiting to get shelved. earlier youo said cowboy bob told you when stuff came in. now theres 2 collectors that work there and send you texts? if they collect they would get it for themselves. and as stated before, why when im in there do the employees not know the difference between gi joe and marvel universe but when you go there they have collectors working? if that was the case they wouldnt have had the roc storm shadow on an alley viper card stapled together sitting on the shelf for over a month.

This is getting fun. I mentioned that I spoke to Cowboy Bob about the new vehicles when I had actually gone there. He is somewhat a collector. The others I know are stockers and they are collectors too but only one of them is collecting the new POC stuff, the other guy is an Arah collector. Even if they bought the Vamp and for some odd reason there was only one that came in I would still have known. You keep trying to come up with something to suggest my sources aren't knowledgeable. Sorry but I have chosen not to believe you and that's my choice. If you did see it then you did but I was there just after you said it was there and the shelf looked exactly the same it did days earlier with no space to put boxes that big. The shelf was over filled with old stock like it always is. The main reason that I have a hard time believing is because it has looked the same way there for the last couple months.

[sirt8669]

Oh yah, never seen that Alley Viper stapled card either, strange. Haven't seen an AV in quite some time.

Actually I was there Friday and the place was a wreck. Looked nothing like it did last week. When they had the Vamp in, they had all the Bravo Vehicles lines up. One Fury, one Vamp a couple Hiss Tanks and I believe one Wolf Hound. Friday they were stacked on top of each other and they were all covered by Corps crap. I had to dig just to find the Wave one stuff. If you say the shelf has looked the same for months then obviously you haven't been going there often. Anyways like I said, I have no reason to lie. Who is more reliable at reporting Joe finds, a fellow Tanker who knows what he's buying or a random Wal Mart employee named "Cowboy Bob"? I'm just saying....
