Ehhh, I wouldn't bet on it being scalpers. That entire wave has mostly been found on the west coast and midwest so far; just hasn't saturated on the east coast yet. The production runs on these figures is going to be far, far higher than any of the 25th stuff...so I wouldn't worry about 'scalpers' getting in the way.

Irid is right. I have not seen any of the Helix wave from Central PA through Western MD through WV Panhandle or Western VA.
I just checked today. Only the first 2 waves are out. I saw PP SE and IA Scarlett at several stores. I even saw that grotesque CC at 2 stores and BBQ at a TRU. Must still be a little early for the PP Baroness/Pit Commando and Helix wave here in the East. Not sure who still uses it, but even on Joesightings.com there are only 2 sightings for that wave and they are both mid-west It does concern me that the TRU sale will only be the first 2 wave leftovers and I will have nothing to buy.

Well, the TRU sale is going all week, starting tomorrow...and according to Tankers who work at TRU, they're putting up a "G.I. Joe Shop" as a big display right in the front sometime in the middle of the week. I am guessing we'll start to see W3 in the mid-atlantic this week, in MD, DE, PA, etc.

I've got a question- I've just moved to MD from southern VA- in my hometown scalpers weren't much of a problem, and I could pretty much get the figures I wanted whenever I wanted- I've noticed that this is a lot more difficult up here. Is there a large collector base up here or something?
I live near DC, so I guess it could be the fact that there are just a lot more people around here- but still, are there really that many GI Joe collectors? |

That's what I figured- I just don't know the area that well yet- I'm still finding Targets and TRU all over the place- I haven't really found my "go-to" store yet, like I had back home.

What happened to the Ice Dagger Bravo Vehicles in MD. I saw them at initial launch and now they vanished from Target aisles...
Also, check TJMaxxx please, they have all DVD packs and a good amount of Marvel Legends figures. Yesterday I bought Quicksilver and YellowJacket for $6.99. Today I saw the 2-packs for $12.99 Skrull Elektra vs. Ronin and they most likely will start getting in the Hall of Heroes Joes soon... |

The Ice Dagger doesn't appear to have shipped in the same quantity as the other Bravo class vehicles; I see loads of Gunships and Humvees but very few Ice Daggers. The only one I saw, at TRU here in Newark DE, I bought b/c of TRU's $5 off sale.

PLEASE let me know anyone if you can get a best of 80's dvd set for me. i've checked and not found any in my area. i've see loads of the firefly variants at targets in this area. gaithersburg target had 5 red and 2 lack a couple days ago. i have not seen any of the figure variants.
