Wow, thanks for the super in-depth reportage. NYC is just about the most frustrating place for Toy collecting. Like you, I'v enever seen a BAT in a store either. I've assumed it was due to the ultra-density of the population on the one or two toystores. I'm also a mostly bbts buyer-- it's the darn store exclusives that drive me up a wall.
Checked the Target at Atlantic Ave today. A couple of 12 inchers, a Wild Bill, some scarface comic packs, one V.A.M.P. and a few series 1 DVD packs. |

I did a full sweep in Brooklyn and Valley stream. Interesting to note I saw a BAT Maj Bludd Snow Serp and other notables at middle village Kmart first thing in the morning, left them on the peg, I really only want Fang/Claw and Air Command. Valley stream wall Mart and target had none of the new. there were three rattlers at valley stream target, but man that's a hike. I agree that NYC is about the worst place ever for joe hunting.

Ordering online is probably the smartest way to go unless you like wasting gas to drive from store to store to find pegs filled with revision cases.My first order from Hasbrotoyshop came in the mail yesterday and with the FALL20 code for 20% off plus free shipping I got the new dvd packs for $14 and new vehicles for $11 its great.
The rest of my vehicles more Firebats,Leatherneck AWE Striker,Sharc and the Cobra FANG/CLAW should arrive this Mon. I also got my EE pre-order a couple days ago and I got a clear Wraith.The whole case for $55 came up to about $6.90 a figure the $9 shipping would exactly be the cost for NY tax and less than the gas I would have spent so I don't know why people complain that online ordering costs more. This allowed me to enjoy this beautiful day without going to stores early in the morning or late at night and to top it off I picked up the only set of TRU Senior Officers today.So now I'm complete just waiting for my wave 11 pre-order to come in now |

Hey man I thought you went MIA.I think these will be very common once they finally start unpacking the wave 10 cases.I'm betting 90% that they are in the back stockrooms of Target and Walmart but the workers won't put them out because of the full pegs.I checked the scanner thing and it shows that singles and vehicles are in the stockroom and with the holidays coming they are getting plenty I'm sure |

Hi Guys,
I'm a NJ resident that travels to PA every day for work and have started a new site meant to be a tool for collectors to help log their want lists and trade info with other collectors. My ultimate goal is get a diversified group of collectors together at the site so maybe the Joe fans can trade info with Supehero fans etc etc saving ourselves time and gas. Check it out and let me know what you think ROC Toys - Powered by vBulletin This is no way a competitive Joe site..as you'll see The Tank is a part of "The Ring" Thanks, Brian |
