I went to the only K-Mart I know of (on Palmetto Park in Boca Raton) this weekend to search for the vehicles. They had none (I really didn't except them to as that store has never really had any GIJoe stock). To my surprise they did have some wave 8. Sort of. There were 4-5 Cobra Comanders with the crystals and 2 Vipers with the new non-25th logo in the corner, 2 Major Bludds and 1 Sepentor. Also had 6 or 7 old, old comic packs and a couple of 5 packs. I grabbed the vipers for army building; have 5 now!, and the Bludds. I talked to the employee there and she said that she had not seen any GIJoe vehicles yet and came up with nothing in the inventory.
Hope someone needs a wave 8 CC or 2. I still need a TF Flint, Snake-eyes and a Python trooper to complete the wave. My two Bludds have different card fronts and I don't know which one to let my son open and which to keep sealed with my carded collection. On the card front, the main GIJOE logo across the card with red white and blue stripes after it, one card the logo is chrome/silver and on the other it is white. Has this happened on other cards and I just didn't notice it? Let me know if any of you guys have come across this. Thanks

Double Trouble, the whole line is transitioning to the white borders, so the newest waves with the chrome borders might be lower in numbers, but I don't what point in production the change was made. But we're not talking long term investment here, as long as the one you keep looks good to you. I think I read that Bludd is the last figure in the 25th line, maybe you should keep him on the silver card.
Kmart had no vehicles, but they did have almost 10 comic packs that somebody expertly sliced open and stole the redemption stickers from. I hit this Kmart a few weeks ago and I found one comic pack like this hidden at the end of the aisle, behind some toys, on the lowest shelf. This time it had company. I'm sure Kmart doesn't care, but it's sad to see. I moved them all back to the Joe section and stacked them bottoms out so parents could see the damage. Archer WM had a few Cobra Commanders with crystal, but the rest of the wave was gone. Thankfully, I put off buying CC when I saw this one was being released. But somebody here had to see the rest of the wave! Where's the heads up? Last edited by frankthedamned; 06-16-2008 at 03:17 PM.. |

You mean they aren't baboons? They should name them Johnny Baboon like Cory from Boy Meets World.
On a side note Prime, I wasn't trying to be rude when you said you wanted to trade with someone closer. I just thought you were trying to be funny since we both live in FL. After thinking about it, maybe I kinda sounded like a dick and thats not cool. Just wanted to apologize if it came off that way.

East Colonial Wal-Mart just got a shipment of wave 8; there are probably 2-3 boxes. I only needed a Tiger Force Flint, so everything else should still be there.
