heres a little bit of a tip for the figs that i found helped.
The Night Spectre is easiest to fit the fig in, i propped grandslam up on his elbows and he looked right at home, with the hiss tank cockpit try and slouch the driver in a bit with his knees bent, it seemed to work fine for me, as for the awe striker, try to make the guys feet as straight as possible with the leg so they can slide between a gap in the plastics, one foot may pop out by the wheel tho, and if u look for it u can see it. i tried to fit to people in the awe striker but they dont sit comfortable their shoulders and elbows kind of prevent them from sitting straight up and are leaning towards the sides. also my friend got a case from the target out by adventure land.. wherever that is i guess farmingdale? he said they had 10 in stock when he talked to the guy. I will probably only get 1 more hiss tank for my troop building (and a third when the 2 pack comes out with the vamp) but i will probably just wait til april 13th wjhen they hit the shelves |

I'm actually going out now to pick up a bigger shelf for my display. When I get back I'll be opening up the vehicles. I believe that is the Farmingdale Target near Adventure Land. I think I'm gonna hold off from going all the way out there though. I'm gonna test my strength and hold out for the April 13th release date, as well. |

Yea and the westbury target is pretty tight on handing these things out... Ive heard rumors that they have 21 cases in the stock room to going there and typing in the code at the store to see they had 0 in the system. Go Figure. Im sure they have them but westbury seem to be a better ran store I guess or has a better manager (Granted as of late NOTHING has been put on the toy shelves that weren't already there even non joe toy lines and such)

Yeah, true. Westbury is weird sometimes. For weeks and weeks, they'll have nothing and out of the blue their fully stocked with just about everything. That store is definitely hit or miss. I bet they have the Vehicles in the back room. But like you said, they seem to be tight on that sort of thing.
When Target had the Exclusive Transformer Jazz and Starscream, the Westbury store wouldn't get them from the back for me. But the Valley Stream Target did. Go figure. |

Made a quick stop into Carle Place TRU.
They had 1 Night Watch 5-pack. A few Wave 3 comic packs. No singles, no other exclusives. |

All the Target stores are mostly in Brooklyn, Queens and Long Island. The majority of them are in Long Island. That's probably the best bet for finding G.I Joe's, since there's a bunch fairly close to each other. Hope this helps! |
