Ok so i got my 3 from the target in hicksville around 1pm, after I had to go through 3 people.
First let me say that westbury didnt have any in the cpu system as of 4pm yesterday, I had a friend call a few stores and he said westbury was the only one who didnt dick him around. But unfortuneatly the guy said check back early next week or this weekend. I beleive it as i was there yesterday. Now I called valley stream (as did my friend) on my lunch break, and they hung up on both of us. Instantly on me as my friend called them an hour earlier and gave the woman the dcpi # and when i started to read it i heard click. I then called hicksville and the woman was friendly but said no, now since i was half way there I said f it and went anyway, typed it into the system. it said stock room yes. Asked the guy workin the toy aisle he said the computer was broken and that it doesnt know whats actually in stock, i took his stuttering and awful excuse as a lie, and walked around to find someone else, i saw an 18 yr old stocking bbqs and he typed it in to his scanner, it came upa s 1 left in stock and he got it for me. So I think I got the last one in hicksville... HOWEVER just cause u call in and the employees tell u they dont have anything doesnt mean their not lying, see if u cant find somebody to go back to the room for u and check if the computer clearly says its in stock. I got another friend who does collect joes so ill still be on the hunt and ill keep you guys posted with what i find... i usually get to westbury target ~9-10 on saturdays and check like, every other day at lunch. Oh and my hiss tank was sort of scuffed up on the paint job but i took it as, well, to save my own personal sanity. (Also got a black snake eyes at carl place tru, only single carded fig they had. Hes pretty sweet in all black and i didnt have that version so yay!) Last edited by JackStatic; 03-31-2008 at 05:22 PM.. |

yea i just finished opening my guys and was sort of disappointed to see no stands or weapons... weapons are ok since i have like 15 spare ak-47s from the nightwatch troops and air drop troops but a lack of base is a little upsetting, the awe striker is also extremely difficult to fit people in to the seats... i managed to do it, but honestly i am not sure if crankcase is ever going to leave the seat. with that being said i am not really looking foward to trying to squish these joes in to the armadillo or vamp when they come out in the 2 packs

I finally got someone to help me at Target in Hicksville. I bought 2
cases. Basically 2 of each vechile. WooHoo!!! I wonder why they don't put them out on shelves? I also went to Target in Westbury, they claim to have 21 in system according to other Targets scanners. I went there also today and they said they have nothing, but a guy also mentioned not selling them till April 13th. Last edited by wobbles; 03-31-2008 at 10:46 PM.. |

Great to hear you guys got em!! I haven't opened mine yet, but from what you guys said about the figures not coming with stands, definitely sucks. I guess that's Hasbro's way of saying, keep them in the vehicles. Oh well, I could always use some of the stands from a few comic pack figures that I don't use for display.
Either way, I'm just happy we got em. From the stockroom no less! I hope we don't get anyone fired for releasing these before they were suppose too.lol All I can say now is, "Bring on Wave 7 singles"!!!!!! |

Ok I'm really upset to hear that these vehicle drivers do not come with any weapons or stands. I guess I could always use a Cobra Trooper gun for Crankcase and the silver backpack from the Wave 7 Duke for Grand Slam.
I still do not wish to purchase these vehicles to get the figures, so if anyone has an extra Crankcase or Grand Slam to part with I would be more than happy to purchase them off you for 5 or 6 dollars each. I just don't have the room for vehicles. |

I just don't have the room for vehicles. Unfortunetly, I didn't buy any extras. Sorry man, I would definitely sell them to you. I do plan on getting another Hiss Tank. But that probably won't be until I can find them on the shelves. |

Yeah, your probably right. I think I might open up my AWE Striker today and see what's up with that. If they don't fit right, doesn't that defeat the purpose? Freakin lame...
