As for Airborne, yeah that sucks. I don't remember seeing him there yesterday either. Fortunately, I have an Airborne that I got from Kaybee a few weeks ago when Wave 11 first came out. It was at the same time I got my Eels too. Glad I didn't pass him up, I didn't realize he was going to be so hard to find. I thought he was going to eventually be a pegwarmer. I just bought Airborne because he looks so freakin cool. To be quite honest, I thought Eels was going to be the hard one to find after the whole BATS mass exodus by the troop builders out there. Guess you can never really tell with Hasbro, can you? |

I am sure Hasbro will throw Airborne into a wave 12, 13, 14 or 15 revision case at some point so he will be available again.

San Diego Area Report:
Clairmont WM -- Nada ** they did have the walmart exclusive original / retro 12" GI Joes... hadn't heard about these, they look cool. Retro packaging, they had a soldier, a diver, and a pilot. About 5 pcs each. Santee Target -- WV 10/11 filler, minus EEL... doh! their pegs are full, so there's likely some backfill in the warehouse. Santee WM -- NADA College Station Target -- nada Grossmont Target -- Nada Grossmont TRU -- SRO WV2 Mission Valley Target -- Nada Othello -- Two cases wave 11, scored two eels, one airborne, two paravipers, two bazooka troopers. Left the rest. Finally found some army builders! Balboa Target -- I know for a fact they are holding on to remnants of wave 11 here, and when I asked a clerk (there was only one TF duke on the pegs) the employee said that the Joes are computer-controlled release so as to fight against collectors. Rather than getting into a huge argument, I just let it go. Sports Arena Target -- nada. So that's it. We have WV10/11 rev cases, and WV 11 cases amongst the area Targets. I would check the Targets I listed with nada tomorrow, they're probably late on stocking the floor due to the huge Friday rush. happy hunting the blonde weasel |

Last check at SD/Vista El Camino Target nothing, College and Jefferson Wal Mart nothing TRU Jefferson Nothing.
I don't know how you guys got so lucky, I was expecting SOMETHING, at least leftovers. I did finally pick up the Thug Batman Movie Masters with Joker Thug mask, Dr Henry Jones from Indiana line, also got Grail Knight. And Kohls on College, first time ever going I found wave 7 comic packs, but only 1 set, want 2 sets. and wave 10, first time I have seen them in the wild, picked up an extra wraith and croc master. I am going to start shopping at Kohls. |

Toys R Us in Escondido, nothing but the usual
Target in Escondido, Wave 11 found! All of them except Airborne. I got to pick my brother up an Eels that was in much better condition too. Sweet! Left everything else behind. |
