good and bad news...
tuesday morning showed some of the target exclusives in stock. i was already at work so my wife called and went to rockville target to pick up a rattler for me. she was approached by two people while she had the rattler in her cart in a manner she described as aggressive asking her where she got it and if she really needed it, etc. she was actually un-nerved by the situation and called me. i'm sure there is another side to the story but the behavior made my wife very uncomfortable and i would hope that my fellow md tank members would not do this.

Arch, it was me.
JUST KIDDING PAL.....lol I back you on this. I have seen this myself (not with Joe but Star Wars stuff)....let's hope it's not a fellow tanker but you never know. Sometimes collecting and the search for "rare" items brings out the worst in us. |

Honestly thats pretty shitty. If that ever happens again she should go to customer service or the security guards they have there. Fng scalpers I hate them with a passion.

man, that is pretty low, besides the the two tankers i meet for trades, and running into a 3 other collectors who dont know about hisstank.com and a MOC collector in general the only other person i saw was a woman in target with five kids calling her husband and telling him what they had.

i'm sure it was just intimidation factor. if it was someone here, i understand the unwillingness to fess up but please consider how you approach people in the future. if it happened to me i would have shrugged it off but to others it can become uncomfortable quickly as it was for my wife.
now, back to joe sightings... i picked up 4 more of the re-issue figures on comic/tv cards at germantown walmart last night. this case had the wave 5 revision cards. i'd sure like to know exactly which ones are done this way other than random mentions and pictures from tni. does anyone know if there is a list? wave 1 vehicles are clogging up shelves in most stores now. i'm waiting for clearance prices before i buy anymore of wave 1 (customs fodder), i've got plenty of them already. the 2 existing dvd sets are also clogging the shelves and i'll wait for clearance before getting those as well. i gave mine to my son and bought loose figures for one of them. the target website is no longer vary accurate for the maryland area it seems. there are already a couple stores that say available and store checks do not match what they have shown in inventory. i can only assume some are hidden, still on hold at the counter or employee has them stashed. this sucks because it only adds additional layers of frustration to the hunt for these.

I just picked up a Conquest at the Gaithersburg Target. Site said "Available" but the Conquest was all I saw. My first sighting. Wow this is a huge box!
Looks really cool! |

TRU in Frederick has about 50 carded figures, most are duplicates. Did pick up a Flash on a non-25th card. They also had the Greenshirt sets and Crimson Guard sets. No new three-packs.

Arch dude, that sucks about your wife's incident. You are truly a gentleman, my friend. I would be lit up if that happened to my wife! Of course there is nothing you can do except not give in and walk away with the product, with a big ol' smile on your face.
