went to collector's castle in Towson Mall and they have some 25th Anniversary stuff on sale. I suggest if you are in the area please hit them up since today is their last day of business. They had the Target battle set with the Mobat , HISS Tank and Short Fuse as well as the DVD packs, and single figures. I also picked up Iron Fist and Sasquatch variants from the ML Apocalypse BAF wave.

Walmart is awesome right now though!!! They have most of the RoC stuff on sale. I pasted on army building night creepers for $7.00 a pop with those 2-packs. I am running low on space and I'm more interested in getting newer stuff instead of the existing stock of rehashed 25th Anniversary figures. Skywarp is still $60!!! I was so pissed I didn't bother looking at more stuff. One of my buddies that works for Walmart tells me that I should check there frequently for new stuff since they occasionally have things on pegs before the official release date. They also expect to get a whole lot of Hasbro shipments around late January to replenish the now empty pegs which means we should wait a little while for the new MU and RoC Wave 6 figure assortments...

Target in Rockville has the ROC Rescue mission down to 9.xx.
All yours. I cannot make myself buy that.

it can all rot as far as I'm concerned. Ever since I gave up collecting I feel so liberated. No more running around looking for plastic crack...got money in my pocket and my sanity back. I'm free...I'm free ...I'm free
sorry....don't mean to be a party pooper. I just needed to toot my own horn.
Good luck you guys....it's been fun
I'll pop in from time to time and update sighting when I come across stuff.

you're no party pooper, 82joe. For many years now I've been only picking up what I want rather than every piece of plastic crack sold by Hasbro. I consider myself a fan and not a collector and it brings me sanity. I don't go hunting strictly for Joe's but rather look for stuff when I'm out buying other things. I wish every Joe fan can either keep their sanity or just buy what they like. I've read several "I'm leaving this damn hobby" posts in 2010 already.
If you allow it to be an obsession, then it's a bad thing.

well I wouldn't say I'm totally leaving 100%. I still dabble in vintage toys but I just felt the 25th/ME/ROC stuff has run it's course. I started losing interest over the summer and would buy strictly out of habit only to turn around and sell it a month or two later. It just feels good to walk into a store and not immediately hit the toy aisle. If something is out that looks cool I'll buy it...I'm just not going to allow myself to get sucked back in and hit EVERY store up and down 97.

has anyone seen the Wave 2 ML 2 packs with Invisble Woman, Dum Dum Dugan and Night Spector Iron man in retail yet? I might have to hit up TRU soon for these....

So, refresh my memory, when do the stores begin to re-stock after New Years?

Here in Maryland they drag their feet at restocking toys for the summer movie blockbuster toys so expect to see more stuff around May. Seriously.....

According to one of the TRU workers, they are doing inventory right now till the 15th of the month.

I know I won't even bother with them till then.
