I just found one case of Wave 5 at the Long Island City TRU this morning. I picked up Snow Job and a CG. Folks in the city might want to start checking the local TRU's!

I was just at that LIC TRU on Saturday, but they had nothing. I forgot it was even there to tell you the truth. The last time I was there was in 2003 when I bought a car from Major World. I think I'm gonna hit the Douglaston TRU right now.
I'm still hoping on Walmart to finish up their modular in hopes of getting in some older waves as well. I missed out on lots of figures already. Thanks for the post and good luck with the hunt. |

Found Wave 5 minus Crimson Guard and Snake Eyes at the Farmingdale Target on Long Island. They also have a bunch of Wave 4 minus Storm Shadow.

You know, in hindsight I should have grabbed the 2nd CG for others on the board, but I was trying not to hog everything. I was just happy to find a Snow Job and one CG, since I already had bought Flash and Destro online.
It's a little ridiculous - 1 paltry case is in no way going to satisfy demand around here. If I come across any others I will let you guys know. I live only a few blocks from the LIC TRU. Has anyone found wave 2 of the comic packs in the city yet? |

I also live in Queens, and I work in Brooklyn. I shop all over Queens, Brooklyn and Nassau County for these figures. Sometimes I will even hit Suffolk County.
As far as Wave 2 of the comic packs go, the first and last time I saw them was at the Walmart in Uniondale on 1/07/08. They had them all but I only bought the Dreadnocks 2-pack and the Snake-Eyes / Storm Shadow 2-pack from Wave one with the fixed SE crotch. I'm still looking for figures from each wave, so keep me informed of what you find in the area and I will do the same as well. By the way if anyone finds any $5.00 5-packs at Walmart please let me know ASAP. I could use 1 of each for that price. I haven't seen them for that price at walmart as of yet, but people are finding them in other areas across the country. |

No offense to you, but as far as collecting goes, it must be nice to live in a less populated area than NYC in order to get what you want. It gets pretty sad day after day seeing empty pegs everwhere you look when other people are complaining about peg warmers of figures you've never seen.
I wish those stores packed up the figures that aren't selling and started sending them our way. By the way xhairs I've seen pleanty of your customs over time and I must say you are one of the better customizers online. Keep up the good work man. |

I just went to the Target at the Atlantic Center in Brooklyn and I lucked out and found 1 Buzzer there. He looked lonely on that peg so I picked him up. I'm wondering though if some stores will still get in some of the older waves like 2 & 3. Do you think it's likely for them to have gotten in an older wave like this just now?
That Buzzer was probably hidden somewhere else in the store all this time and was finally returned to his peg because I was at this Target a few days ago and they had nothing. All of the toys were thrown around. All that I found was a Firefly lying on the bottom shelf that someone had removed from his card, probably with hopes of stealing him. He was complete with all of his weapons though. I still need a Firefly, and I so wanted to bring him up to customer service and ask if they would sell him to me, but I didn't want to look like an idiot, or even worse a big kid. LOL If anyone sees anything before wave 4 please let me know. I figure I can get all of Wave 5 since they are new, but the older stuff is getting harder to come by. |

Thanks for the offer STORMSHADOW. Right now I want to give it the ole wait and see what happens with Walmart after they are done with this toy modular. I still enjoy the thrill of the hunt to try and find everything I want. If Walmart doesn't come through for me sooner or later I will have to give in and take people up on their generous offers. I appreciate it and I will definitely keep it in mind.
