Found nearly all of Wave 10 and 11 in the San Jose area today, EXCEPT the Wave 11 guys I really wanted: Zartan and Airborne.
If I'd gotten up early, I think I would have found them. Mountain View and Sunnyvale Targets/Wal-Mart had nada from either new wave. The San Jose area Targets I went to all had remnants of 10 and 11. The TRU in Sunnyvale, and both in San Jose that I frequent had Wave 10 remnants. Several Glendas and Matt Trakkers (wait and see, those guys will warm pegs, I guarantee it). The Wave 11 guys I did snag were 1 Trakker (I hate the guy, but I found a pretty good carded one, so he's my "ONE" Trakker, til my HTS order comes in. Whichever card is best, I'm keeping, and returning the other. I hate this guy. Really. Hate.) 2 Flints in Disguise (for Trooper purposes, not to use as Flint), and 2 Eels. The ONLY guys I didn't see from Wave 10 or 11 were: Mutt, Bazooka Trooper, variant Wraith, Zartan or Airborne. If anyone on here has a Wave 11 Zartan who can meet me for a trade, I have quite a few figures to trade, on sealed card: old Zartan B.A.T. Para-Viper Bludd (new card) Flash (new card) Eel PM me if you wanna trade. I also have some loose guys as well, but doubt anyone wants them, as they're "extras" that I already have my "default" version of. |

Was in Phoenix, AZ during the last few days (visitin' Mom and Dad) but didn't find crap there. Upon returning to civilization, I hit up the American Canyon Walmart earlier today and found the Beachhead/Mainframe and Iron Grenadier/Viper comic packs.
I need to make a bigger effort to find some Joes as I'm startin' to fall behind.

Target off Santa Teresa (in the mall), Target off Saratoga Road (is that Saratoga, or SJ? Not sure, in the mall, as well) and at the Target off Stevens Creek (maybe Cupertino, they're all in the SJ area.)
Target in Sunnyvale and Mountain View had squat. I'm dying for Zartan and Airborne, it's like they're laughing at me. |

Hit up all of the stores in the Concord/Walnut Creek area this morning. Most stores had squat except for:
Pleasant Hill Target - Most of Wave 10 & 11. No Zartan or Airborne, though. Picked up another Matt Trakker. Why is everyone so down on this guy. He feels more like a part of GIJoe to me than Wraith does. I dunno. Kmart in Concord (not the Pleasant Hill one next to Target. The one way out in the boonies.) - They had a couple Firebats and Awe Strikers for those who still need 'em. The old GIJoe 5 packs are $19.99 if ya didn't get 'em cheap at Ross. The Pleasant Hill Target is storing the Ultimate Battle Packs in their overstock top shelves. They had four on the StarWars endcap and all these in overstock: Nobody is buying these. Can't wait for them to go on clearance!

Same with the UBP. Next time there's a Target exclusive, despite KNOWING what will happen, I can guarantee you that I'll shit my pants, run out frantic til I find it, piss my girlfriend off, feel like I won the lottery, then see for weeks that they're just sitting on the shelves. I've got a set that I'm returning this week before my Target receipt expires... I was hoarding them for a fellow Tanker, but it seems they're doing fine without me. Quote:
$2? Some places regular is BELOW the $2 mark. What is this, 2003? Last edited by Mandingo Rex; 12-01-2008 at 07:57 PM.. |
