Nada. Care more about the two new TRU figures over the Target set and 2nd wave. The Target set shouldn't be impossible at 8+ sets a store and how many damn copies of exclusive figures they got in the past. More concerned with making an awesome Slaughter.

I mean it this time.. really. just 5.. unless its just ultra bad ass.. then of course I would have to have 10 or 15. ; )
I didn't even bother to go look today. why? cause it would be the same as yesterday. Nothing. LOL I'll pop my head back in places around the 11th. see if there is anything new. Like the speculation is hyped to be.

Stopped at 2 Targets yesterday (Eldorado/Tollway and Gaylord/Preston). Nothing good at either of them.
I read an article in the paper today about toy retailers are slashing prices because they expect toy sales to be so low this holiday season. Target says they dropped 100 items 50%. What Joe items were affected? The lame-o non-selling Tough Troopers. They are still $15.99 after 50% off. I just don't get it. Retailers need more stuff on sale. Joes were priced to fail. Having standard 3.75" action figures move to $7.99 each MSRP right before ROC hits the shelves just plain KILLED the line. Yeah, we all got a bunch, but that's because we are the very few who would buy them anyway (unless they went to 9.99 or the like). We need our plastic crack. Also, TRU did us a great service by putting ROC figures on sale for a great deal 3 times! Now we are spoiled and only buy a figure here or there because we have to buy "something" or we actually found one of the newer figures. Target and Wal-Mart need to step up and drop a nice sale or 2 on Joes to move out the old stuff. Expecting kids and parents to buy what is still sitting on the shelves through Christmas is just dumb. Hasbro knows there is a problem with ROC. That's why new waves are slowing down. And since POC will be the new deal, I'll bet the retailers do something right before, or right after Christmas to move out the old stuff and re-set with a much smaller section in stores (about the same size as the 25th section was). On the other hand, TRU needs to wise-up and move the old 25th stuff they are sitting on. ROSS and Marshall's are killing them with TRU's exclusives! We'll just have to see what the big 3 toy retailers decide to do this year. I'll be watching the newspaper ads (my wife gets the early edition on Saturday each week). If I find anything good, I'll pass it on.

Several different Targets I was at today across tarrant/Dallas counties and the fringe counties of the north east and south west sides had single carded figures at 5.99 each. Dunno when that started or if it started today as I have not seen those price cuts yet. Not all of the stores have this yet I found out today.
Aside from that do not fall victim to the Walgreens hunt like I did today! LOL! It yielded what I needed but was rather expensive and it took almost every Walgreens in a zigzag pattern from South West Fort Worth where I live to Allen back down through Flower Mound to locate 1 figure per store of the enitre wave. I picked up a White Coat Rex from Hurst, Charbroil from Walgreens off 407 in Flower Mound and Nano Viper from White Settlement Walgreens. 10.99+tax a figure hurt compared to my 6 figure haul from Target for about the same price LOL. I did not want to look anymore for this wave or be sucke dinto high bids on ebay for the figures so I am now done, have what I needed extra now to finish my customs I had planned from some of these figures. All I need now is some Snake Armors and a handful of Desert Vipers and I am done for the 2009 season. I figure the next wave of Alpha Vehicles will be back logged into 2010 anyway as hardly any retailer has even tried to put those series of vehicles at a lower price point. Did not bother with Walmart, just did Walgreens, Target and TRU all cept Mesquite and Duncanville TRUs. No TRU Exclusives or any new figures period at TRU, I have seen a Pitt Commando at one on 8 different occasions and is still behind the exact same number of Heavy Dutys and Scarlett's he has been for 2 months now.... IN other news, the whole debate around the 2 different types of Night Adders coming in 2 tatt color varations, I confirmed today (btw there is at least 6-8 of these at various walgreens accross the metroplex) as I did not want to pick up anymore. Most of all of them have black tatoos, but one of that entrie lot had blue ones. I would have snagged em but the cost of that just for a stupid color variant and the blue tatted one's bubble was mangled beyond recognition to keep MOC, I didn't waste my time. Some people speculated on other threads that the blue was an overseas version and the US would only see the black tatts, well I saw both carded today so both will be here I am sure as a planned chase variant bs. The shipping for Walgreens is beyond ass backwards, I did not see a single repeat of any figure at any walgreens but I did end up seeing the entire wave between 7 specific Walgreens after 4-5hour hunt. The rest either did not have any joes or had regular waves 1-2 and only 1-2 figures (3 tops) on the single peg they had for them. Sometimes they were behind Xmen figures or Transformers ones so if you look look hard! End Report.

Hey CG, do you remember which Targets? I need a couple of figures to finish customs and $5.99 isn't too bad when WM is up to $7.97 at some stores now.

The one in Allen was not yet, the one off McDermot was not, Parker and 75 one was I think, the one off of 635 west of Preston was, one off 635 and MacArthur was, The Colony Target was not, The Mckinney Target was not, NRH Target was, Arlington was, that's all I can rmeber as of right now, was a long hunt LOL.
Also Target 635 and MacArthur had the Darth Kryat comic pack and the 75 and parker + 75 and McDermot had 1 each of The Vong Xheg guy or whatever hes called if anyone still looking for that stuff.
