Damn I go away from the boards for a couple of days ans it turns back to crap. A couple of weeks ago the boards were full of crap about a guy named fordjuse. U people need to grow up. We use these boards as aids in searching for new figures. I help out fellow tankers all the time just because I am able to check stores in the morning because I don't go to work until 1pm. I don't go out looking on weekends because I spend the time with my wife. Now I have found all the poc figures plus the transformers grimlock figure hours after the stores have opened. Wave 1 was found around 1030 am picked up two sets for my fellow tankers. Got word that wave 2 was out from a fellow tanker last Sunday, didn't bother to go looking until Monday morning. Found basically 3 sets at my target, only missing recondo to complete the third set. Now I went back to that same target today and there are only 6 figures left from what I saw on Monday. I usually go around 10 am. When the vehicles first hit I found them at tru during their sale but that was around 1230pm.
Did I have to explain myself no. This just shows that each of us have different scheduels and are able to go looking at different times. I have received from fellow tankers many time. Meeting fellow tankers is part of the fun of being on the boards. In over 6 years of being on here I just have over a hundred posts. Its about the quality of the posts not the quantaty. That's it for now enjoy the hunt. |

Santee Target had full pegs last night. Got Three JV, left one, and got one Recondo. At least one of everything on the shelf. No Wave 2 vehicles though.
I don't mean to be greedy, but with the shortage of AVs out there, I jumped at my chance to build my JV squad. And let me just say...best figure of the new line, by leaps and bounds. Amazing! Quote:
Also, keep in mind I prefer trades to sells... So I'm not above picking up something simply for trade worthiness... I picked up the Wave 1 CC and even the Mechs just for this purpose. Anyway... With all this action in SD... I hope that my local Target has something to offer. I'm not even after the Jungle Viper. Just Dusty. Although a customized desert ghili viper would be cool - *thinks*.

DaViper - I understand what your saying but I also understand the frustration. Every time I'm even within a mall's distance from any of these stores, I cruise the toy section to see what's available. And while wanting a couple Alley Vipers, I've got none. I've got a life outside my Joe collection. So, I can't stalk the managers or pay a detailed attention to when the stock arrives at my store. But sadly, there's people out here who are compulsive to the point that it ruins the fun for the rest. Even if you're troop building, one should consider your fellow collector. If there's three of something, grab two. If everybody followed this same practice, I'd bet that more of us would be happier.

I ventured out to Corona today, and hit the Target off the 15 FWY. They had a couple of POC regulars, a lone Jungle Viper. I'm glad I found the Jungle Viper this is on awesome figure. Keep looking they are out there.

I hit up the following Targets today in San Diego with this outcome:
8:45am-Balboa next to Home Depot: Had all figures except Jungle Vipers. There was some dude in there in a red shirt before me who riffled through the pegs and then left. I suspect he was chasing JV's only. I purchased 2 of every other figure then moved on. 9:40am-10:30am Target off 78 Jefferson NADA, Target off Sycamore: NADA 11:00am-Target Leucadia: Scored 4 JV's and 2 Recondo's 12:00pm-Target off 54/Highland 4th: Nada (did see other collectors there searching). 1:00pm-Target Poway: JV's all gone, saw another collector I know there who got the leftovers 2:15pm-Target off College (off the 94). NADA. Girl looked to see if any in system but said that 2 others asked earlier and they have nothing.

the only real reason that this thread can take a shit sometimes is because it stays under the radar and off the front page index, so a lot of the quiet lurkers feel like they can come in here and start shit without having the guts to participate in the real HissTank. they're the pissy quiet ones who like to start the mess.
i come in here to get some help finding a Jungle Viper and hopefully hook someone up with some extras that i have... but i ran into this sslanchi character who was going after people for no other reason than he didn't get his toy. unbelievable. i do have an extra POC AV. if you can get a JV, i'd trade you, bro. i've put this offer out there to others as well, as i do have a few extra AV's. thanks, dude. house music all night long. House is feeling!!!

And your point is?????? Who cares what others do. It is up to you do find a way to get these figures. I personally wake up at 7:00am and am the first person at Target/TRU or whatever store I'm searching at when I'm looking. I'm so sick of this entitlement bull shit. You want the figures but you want them to fall in your lap. If you want them as bad as you are acting you might want to put some work in for the reward.
