I'm a bit frustrated with the lack of availability of the new wave of figures (city strike, jungle assault, arctic assault).
I scored at Walgreens Milpitas where they had four figures, 3 of which were Jungle Assault Ripcord, Arctic Assault Storm Shadw and the Neo-viper (shrouded in green tentacles). I coughed up the $11.99 per figure, but will promptly return them when I discover them at Wally's or TRU for $5 I heard Kmart in Redwood City got several of the new wave, but I haven't verified. Probably gone by now. |

I was up in Oroville for a Scenario Paintball game (drove 7hrs from LA), had to go to Walmart for supplies.
so of course I stop by our section for a quick look.... and scored a City Strike Snake Eyes and Night Adder!!!!! Thank you, thank you Nor-Cal!!! (I grew up in Hercules) They also had a Charbroil, but I was so hopped up on a Joe-drenaline high that I left him. Can't believe I had to drive 7 hours to finally get CS-SE!

Blossom Hill TRU
I spotted a case of wave 5 in a boz on that upper storage area above the Joes. I opened it to see wich wave was wave 5 and it was complete with City Snake Eyes. I have him already so I put the box back up there. As of 2:30 today I was there. Lots of Joes, addlers, a couple charbroil, benchpress... Snow Serpents... There was a box of Wave 4 I think also up there but I thought it was stuff I already had as well. Wish my fellow Tankers well. |

Thanks to Sgt_dp for that great and very specific posting on 12/9.
Today I went to the Blossom Hill TRU and found the boxes of Wave 4 and Wave 5 above the Joes. I couldn't believe that many of the pegs were empty! Of course I did visit near closing on Saturday night. I opened the box that Sgt_dp had seen and opened, but no City Strike Snake Eyes. There was an Arctic Threat Storm Shadow in there. Not giving up, I saw how many of the Hasbro toys boxes were in the middle of the aisles - so I happened to look in one section and WOW!! Low and behold the label "GIJ MV Single PK C1 ASST W5 R1 09." I opened it and there he was - City Strike Snake Eyes along with a smattering of Charbroil, Night Adder, and another Storm Shadow Arctic Threat. I placed this box above the Joe's as well since the stockpeople obviously had not even thought about stocking the Joe's area. I think there might have been at least one more box of Wave 5 in the middle of the aisle, but didn't touch. Funny how timing is everything when looking for the Wave 5 figures. Thanks again for the scouting report Sgt_dp! |

I visited Pleasanton Walmart today and found 3 figures in Wave 5 - Storm Shadow Arctic Threat, City Strike Duke and Desert Viper. But the funny part of this story is that I found them scattered THROUGHOUT the entire toy department. I guess since it was a busy Saturday pre-holiday shopping - kids were going crazy. I had almost left the store empty-handed, but didn't give up with what was on the pegs.
I found a figure two aisles over on a bottom shelf near the bicycles, one nestled between some transformers...etc. All three different and random places. Maybe they'll stock more Wave 5 this weekend. Now we finally see Wave 5 hitting wally's and TRU! |
