I have noticed that the WM on Washington Ave seems to always have a repack. I don't know if it is one or multiple but there always seems to be some frankenstein on the shelf / peg there.

Curious as to what the wave 5 Cobra Commander will look like. Hopefully nothing like the movie or wave 1 Cobra Commander but something a little more true to the original. I have my doubts.

MAybe if were lucky, it'll be a new sculpt, with 2 alternate heads:hood and helmet.

The Wal-Mart in Oneida, NY had a couple of figures from wave 1 show up which leads me to believe they got in another revision case within the last few days. The figures are still marked at $6.97. They had a Firefly, Duke, SE, Zartan, 2 Dusty's, 2 JV's, and a bunch of arctic Destro's.

Forget Niskayuna Target for a while...I had someone go in back and bring out the cases that hadn't made it to the floor. 2 revision cases and no sign of wave 3. The cases were brought back to the stockroom....

so the future waves have nothing I'm looking for. I'll post as usual if I see anything of interest. Saving much money for a trip to Disney for JoeCon 2011. Last year was going to be my last Con, but I started with a Con at Disney, it should be neat to end with a trip there for a spell. Who else is going or thinking about it?

The wife and I were considering doing a vacation to Florida around that time so that I could get to go to the Con as well, but I don't think we are going to be able to get there for that time unfortunately.

I won't be able to make it down for JoeCon 2011... tax season and all that.

I was at some Ross' in San Jose last month and saw Furys and Sand Ravens...I just had no way of getting them back on the plane :(

I have two Furys.. and absolutely no interest in the Sand Ravens. The cancelled wave 4s would have been nice. I take that back. Red Trouble Bubbles and the Whirlwind would have been nice. I wonder what Ross will have to offer / piss us off with next?
