Got a case at Walmart in Fishkill the other night. Got the Bat, Claw & Fang and Leatherneck with AWE Striker. The last one was the 001 Hiss which I put on the shelve with the other GI Joe stuff.
Must say that the Claw is horrible. 2/3 the size of the original with half the detail and quality. Truly disappointed with the claw. Everything else is great. |

Snowjob,Beachhead,Stalker, Snake eyes w/Timber,wild Bills,Spirit, Python Patrol,T F Flint,and ONE random Snow Serpent,the only thing I picked up... Older vehicles,no new ones yet.

I didnt see regular Flint there, but the pegs WERE full so i might have missed it...they still have Stalker and the 2nd Storm Shadow, plus all the others previously mentioned...no new vehicles or combat heroes though...

Hey - new to the message board. I've found looking for joes in NYC to be really frustrating. I've mostly resorted to ordering from BBTS or HTS, since most of my searches come up emptyhanded. In any case, after reading this thread, I was "inspired" to do a complete sweep of the Queens area sites. Overall, it's pretty clear that the latest wave isn't out here yet. For some reason, NYC seems to lag behind the rest of the country (which I don't quite understand, since hasbro is based in the northeast). Today was crazy in terms of quantity though - i've never seen so many figures stocked.
TRU Northern Blvd: Crimson guard 5 pack, FF Greenshirts; various comic packs, but no BH destro. No single packs. Some wave 1 vehicles, no wave 2. All the wave 1 3 packs, but no wave 2. TRU Middle village: Same as the TRU Northern Blvd, but plenty more singles - bbq, Snow serpents, crimson guards, spirits, jetpack duke, bazooka. None of the latest wave (ie wraith wave). DVD packs. KMart middle village: Ninjaku, snow serpent, tiger force flint, flash. bludd; dvd packs. Not much else TRU Whitestone: I got pretty psyched when I saw the full racks, but it was all the same stuff which I already have. Baroness, Rocknroll, python force office, duke jet pack, tiger force flint, Hiss tank driver (x4), spirit, roadblock v2. Plenty of comic packs (no BH destro), wave 1 vehicles, crimson guard 5packs, green shirts, wave 1 3packs, and some wave 1 vehicles. Target whitestone: Some wave 1 vehicles. Spirit, wildbill, duke jetpack, snow serpent, flash, tiger force flint, cobra commander w/element, baroness, bbq, road block v2, python officer, 25th ann serpentor, 25th ann viper, bazooka, flash Targe Queens Blvd: Snow serpent, IG destro, bbq, wild bill, duke jetpack, spirit, ninja ku, bazooka. Conquest, wave 1 vehicles, comic packs. Any figures from the older waves that I mentioned did not have the 25th anniversary foil, unless I indicate otherwise. Basically looks like Queens has been getting the same distribution of wave 9 (woops, forgot to mention that I saw Hawk everywhere). I didn't buy much, since I already had everything through my online ordering. I'm sort of annoyed that I've never seen a BAT in stores. I was surprised to see so many snow serpents, since I figure they would be snatched up for army building or by scalpers. I'm wondering if I should give up hunting, and just buy everything online. I've waited for previous assortments to hit NYC before and missed out, forcing me to make some annoyine ebay purchases. Sort of depressing, since I really enjoy finding stuff that I need. Is the times square TRU reliable? I heard someone mention that midtown comics gets shipments, too. There's also a KB in herald square that sometimes has stuff, as well as one in Jackson heights. Not to sound preachy, but I hope none of you are unscrupulous scalpers. I admit that I buy 2 or 3 of each figure, but that's just to have for my collection- i've never sold anything ever. It's frustrating to go hunting and come up empty-handed, and to see all of this stuff available on ebay for jacked up prices. Ok, having said that, good luck hunting everyone.
