yep, took the kids out to breakfast this am and stopped by target/walmart and still no restock. targets are full of planes and ubp's so lets hope they clearance next week.
i must say i'm very disappointed that restocking has been so horrible the week before x-mas. the best deal so far has been the tru sro sale.

Distribution of G.I. Joes in Maryland is plain horrible....
for the last 10 weeks I have been driving to every Wal-Mart, Target, TRU and Kohl's around me. This is what I am sure to find: All Targets no matter the location: Rattlers, X-30 Conquest, UBP, remnants of wave 10, all or most of waves 7 - 9, Cobra HISS (x2), (Armadillo vs. Serpentor) VP, Comic Pack Waves 1 - 3 and shit loads of of those Combat Heroes Packs All Walmarts no matter the location: AWE Striker with Leatherneck, revision waves 7 - 9, Deep Six with SHARC, Cobra HISS, All Comic Packs except the Beachhead/Dataframe, Nemesis Enforcer/ Falcon, Hardmaster/Snake Eyes, and Wild Bill/Scrap Iron wave and loads of Combat Heroes 2-packs All TRU no matter the location: Wave 10, Combat Heroes, revision waves 7 - 9, Troop Builder Packs, SRO, limited to no vehicles All Kohl's no matter the location: one peg of wave 10 well hidden, Wild Bill/Scrap Iron, Snake Eyes/Hardmaster, Dataframe/Beach head comic 2 - packs.... Sears, Giant Food and Marshall's are starting to carry very few joes from waves 1 - 3.... Is there anyone we can write to at Hasbro or our local stores to vent our frustration of the limited supply and poor distribution of new Joe product across Maryland, period??? |

I agree, Maryland's distribution is all messed up. We are also hampered by the loads of scalpers. I believe this one guy who moved out of the area had loads and loads of 25th Anniversary product. I'm also aware that a lot of store employees get first crack at stock.
I've begun to order cases from BBTS and not waste my time even though its awesome striking gold during a hunt. |

target ubp discounted to $54.99... a pathetic clearance price if you ask me. germantown and gaithersburg have MANY of these.
let me know if anyone finds the planes discounted...i need a couple more for paint projects nad i'm not paying full price for project planes. went everywhere today and no where had anything new, not since maybe tuesday. if we are getting anything, you have to be damn quick in montgomery county to find it or it's gone. gaithersburg target figures are $6.84 i think germantown target comic packs are cheaper than the others. germantown kohls has figures at $10 i think it was and comics at $13 or so. no matter, not paying those prices. kmart still has the 10% discount on regular joes, whatever that means. no more $12 vehicles though.

The pegs for G.I. Joe are empty now...
I went to four Wal Marts and Targets in MD I'm being told to wait until next weekend; beginning of the month, and that toy stock will build up... Hopefully waves 11 and 13 will start showing up in the masses so we can army build the better figures out... |

I went looking around today, here's what I found:
Walmart (Towson) - revision cases of waves 7 - 8, / I scored a Lift Ticket with Sky Hawk for $15.96 by looking in the WRONG AISLE!!!! Target(Cockeysville on York Rd.), around 9:30 a.m. I picked up a Specialist TRAKKER and Zartan from Wave 11. I left the pilot Scarlett and Cobra Disguise Flint from wave 11 because they're really easy customs that anyone could make with the right accessories... Target's UBP is on sale for $54.99, still too high for a collection of repaints, re-issues, a one measely new vehicle... Still everywhere else was bare or filled with waves 7 - 9 or Snake Eyes v1 with Timber and fixed crotch.... |

Anyone else seeing FOV stuff on clearance?
I've found a lot of GIJoe vehicles in the wrong aisles at Wal-Mart - no idea why that's the case.
