Where did you manage to find them?
I hit up three Wal-Marts tonight (the ones in the Santa Clarita area) and nothing. Did find a SRO pack at a TRU up that way, though. (Sadly, they only had the one... still looking for the Joe pack) And a three-hours-later edit: Thanks to Jinx, I decided to take a trek to the nearest Wal-Mart and sure enough, they had the new 2-packs. Yay! Panorama City Wal-Mart is so trashy though... not nearly as trashy as the K-mart that had the 4-pack. For some reason I expected that 4-pack to be cheaper but it looks nice... still picked it up, and they had 1 or 2 left after I was gone. Last edited by KungFuDestro; 09-19-2009 at 11:35 PM.. |

Got the Attack on the Pit set at the TRU on Topanga Canyon. There was still 1 left. It's a pretty sweet set, although both Duke and Ripcord use the Breaker body, but are missing the molded belt. You don't notice it on Ripcord, thanks to Sgt Stone's vest, but it looks weird on Duke. The Pit Trooper is pretty sweet, and has a different head than the Pit Commando. I really like the Neo Viper Officer.
They must have finally done some restocking...I saw a few figures including Helix along with the 27 Storm Shadows they've had for months. They also had multiples of both SRO 3 packs. No battle set 5's, though they did have at least 1 set 4. The Walmart in West Hills finally took down their Joe endcap. Unfortunately, there aren't even pegs for the 2-pack exclusives in section. The pegs that were there are now filled with combat heroes 2 packs. Still no new Target exclusives at the Targets that are more or less on my commute home. Has anyone seen the Snake Eyes exclusive recently? It's the only one I'm missing from wave 1. It's on Target.com but I keep expecting to find it somewhere. |

I saw the Snake-Eyes Target exclusive today in the Santa Clarita area. They had just one of it. Unfortunately, I can't remember if it's in the newer-looking shopping center or the other Target I went to. I fail. Might want to give them a call and see if someone can look, so you don't have to drive all the way up there.
I also saw a Target where Marvel Universe figures were discounted to $1.98 for some unknown reason! That was pretty shocking. Sadly, they were all sold out. Might be just as well, or I'd be hurting for paying 4x that originally. |

I can't help but think that Wal-Mart was a Woolworth's or something else back in the day that was converted... badly. Wish there was a decent Wal-Mart closer to Burbank... bonus if it were 24 hours... I'm surprised there isn't one, considering there are so many by Santa Clarita. Since the 2-packs weren't on pegs it might be best to look down by the vehicles at any WM for the new figures. I really like them though - even if Monkeywrench doesn't have the glasses. |

I think the K-Mart in North Hollywood was just about as gross. I mean, they had hot dog vendors outside!

No Joe 2-packs at the Porter Ranch Walmart.
Is it worth checking Panorama? Edit: Porter Ranch did have the new Marvel Universe second wave 2-packs with: Lime Green Hulk/Cyclops Iron Man/Spider-Woman Magneto/Black Spider-Man Last edited by Jatta Pake; 09-22-2009 at 04:43 PM.. |
