hey RED EYES and fellow joe collecting New Yorkers...i stopped by walmart over here in East Meadow today...of course they had nothing...but i had the pleasure of talking to the Toy Dept. Manager again and man hes pretty cool...i asked him when can that walmart be expecting more shipments...so being the nice guy he is he scanned the single carded figures and told me "no confirmed date however they are expected to get (im not sure if i heard correctly or i just forgot) 24 cases of single packs...and 16 cases of comic packs...completely blew our minds...also fellow Hiss Bros. he himself has had a few run ins with scalpers (dirty scondrols those scalpers are)...he has recently seen them take a bunch of figures and hide them in different aisles but he just goes and returns them back to the right spot...so thats another win for us (yay!)...but anyways just thought i'd report from the frontlines and have my fellow brothers hear some good news...

Damn!!!!! 24 cases of singles!!! Dude, if that actually happens and they somehow put them all up at once, I'll shit myself! Even if I don't need any of figures that would just be an amazing site!!
I've spoken to that Department manager also, just the other day. He's definitely cool and he seems to look out for us collectors! I've definitely seen scalpers in there before. One time it was this really obese lady and I guess her husband. They had a cart full of Star Wars stuff. They started bickering at each other when they couldn't find something. Really pathetic and funny at the same time. Anyway, thanks for the good news man!!! And yes, bring on Wave 8!!! Quote:

In any case I have spoken with a really cool guy in the toy aisle at that Walmart before pleanty of times. He hooked me up with their last Cobra Legions 5-pack set a few months back. He said someone hid it and he found it, so he gave it to me. He also said he couldn't wait to see that guys face when he returned for it. By the way if anyone sees any local Target in Brooklyn, Queens, or Long Island stocked with Wave 7 please let me know. I want to pick up Spirt, Wild Bill, a Viper and a Hiss Driving using one of those 5 off coupons. I also like to have pleanty of figures to look over and choose the ones with the best looking paint and cards. |

I confess!! Whatever I hid was usually found by you guys the same day anyway. Which was a few comic packs here and there at that Walmart. That was a good though Jack. The "Robin Hood of Toys"! "Hide from the scalpers, give to the collectors!!" LOL
Anyway, I posted the other day that Westbury Target had a good amount of Wave 7. I think it was at least 4 cases. No Hiss Drivers though. I actually went back that same night with the Wife, and they were all gone except for a V4 Snake Eyes. I'm caught up for now, but I still go out and look. I'll post asap, anytime I see something. Oh, and if any of you local guys see the Movie Masters Dark Knight Joker, please let me know as soon as you can!! Or hide it, buy it, whatever you can do would be much appreciated!! Quote:
Hmmm I wonder who he could be talking about here? Is someone catching on to our fellow "Robin Hood" type of tanker who likes to hide figures to help out his fellow tankers? He shall remain nameless though...LOL!

Hey new yorkers I might sell my whole 25th set if anyone is interested in it. Heres a quick list. I have all 5 packs 3 Packs Comic packs and all single cards except wave 7. All my figures are opened and in polybags with weapons and file cards. Never really touched played with etc. I have all Target Vechiles un-opened. My GI-JOE 5 pack is also unopened. I also have a couple extra cobra enemy,CG's,Air Troop's,and Red Ninja and Cobra Officers's. PM me let me know. I want to sell the whole thing not just a few here and there.
I just regret opening the toys. I want a whole MOC collection but don't have the extra money. So I don't even want them anymore. |
