I haven't found a little area in Maryland that many collector's don't already know about. Everywhere I go the same hard-to-find figures are missing so it's apparent this entire area is swamped by guys like us.
Also, distribution is the main deterrent from looking sometimes. I've been looking for the IM2 Comic Wave 4 since August and it never reached Maryland. Other things eventually trickle down to our area a few months after it is sighted elsewhere. Overall, its the early bird that beats the bunch .....

I've noticed that as well. I went ahead and ordered a case from EE, and when I did I noticed there were 3 different MU revision cases that are hitting. Probably why we are only seeing certain ones here and there.
As for the Joe's and Walmart, I have to agree. I've found a majority of them at Target and TRU, but lately the Walmart's have been getting the newer and revision waves faster than the others. Today I hit Walmart in GB off 10 and the only thing worth grabbing was an Alley Viper. I'm still getting shafted for Shock Troopers and I need 2 more. I had to resort to looking for them in the BST area, but their prices aren't exactly getting any cheaper so I've had to resort to selling off some MU figures (reason for the case purchase) to try and fund some troop building. |

Montgomery Mall - ToyZam!!
Found out they heard news that this location closing yesterday. They didn't really have anything new but seemed well stocked... Rockville - TRU Again, are all TRU stores interested in going out of business? Half stocked shelves in the action figure department and still nothing new, looks like the same stock from November and I haven't been there in three months... Rockville - Target Interesting enough they had some remnants of new stuff. The PoC front end cap box display was up with Wave 3 leftovers ( No Shockies or SE of course). They had remnants of the latest SW- Vintage Wave AOTC. No new Transformers, Marvel Universe or Im2 figures but it looks like a few Tron Legacy toys are being clearanced out....

For those of you who collect the 6 inch marvel legend style figures, the Columbia TRU has the Iron Man 6 inch War Machine and Titanium Man figures. 2 each. Nothing else of note.

Marvel Legends style figures are double their price from three years ago? I saw it for $17.99 and passed. Plus, looking at the detail of them you can see that they just larger molds of their 3.75" versions. No additional articulation or paint apps makes them overpriced. I'll wait until the end of the year to start picking them up...
