Yeah, I figured it was a stretch unless you can save pics and zoom in like my phone can. I would paint HISS Tanks, but I only have 3 black ones and I can't bring myself to do it. If they were still on shelves, hell yes. Out-of-Print? I'll find a different way to do what I want to do. Paper worked.
We started for D.C. this morning. Got as far as Texarkana when the "check engine" light went on. The mechanic couldn't find anything, but that was 2 hours later. Ended up driving back to Dallas to let the dealership look and they kept us most of the day. So now we're going to try to head back out tomorrow morning, stop somewhere in TN that night where ever the snow kicks in heavy, and then try to finish the other half during the day. Heavy snow + mountain roads = bad for driving at night while tired. Kmart is suppose to have the 4-pack for $15 as of Sunday, so I'm going to try for 2 if I can find it when we get up there. Did get a White Coat Rex while wandering Texarkana from a Walgreens. They even priced it $6.99 because it wouldn't ring up. I put a spare Mindbender head on him for a proper RoC Dr. Crazy Person. ;)

Hell I forgot you were leaving early. don't get too crazy in that snow. I know we don't see it much here in Texas and get a little excited.. but remember the ingredients for a bad Tx driver is.....just add water. LOL Doesn't matter what form the water is in..
Your not planning to go play in the Mnt passes are you? If so watch out for the loggers..er.. mainly their semi's they speed like hell through there. Have a good trip and be safe. And may the Joe gods smile upon you. ; )

As far as sightings go, Ive seen a ton of Wave 5 today while out Xmas shopping. Hasbro has to get a huge F for distribution of wave 4. Waves 1-3 are still hitting the shelves while the majority of us still haven't seen wave 4 at (regular retail) WM or Target. Total fail on their part on that one. Even the exclusives are seeing decent distribution. They will probably end up releasing a wave with a case full of Kamakura and Green Nano Vipers.
As far as the exclusives go, I picked up the Wet Suit at Target. I'm surprised at how much I really like it. The CP Hawk arms are a nice touch. The pouches add that little bit of detail. Nice job and thanks for not making him another straight up repaint! |

I guess no one's found anything new? I saw SW Vong and Krayt CP's at TRU Frisco over the weekend. On Friday, I bought a Diver and a DC Nightwing at the Tuesday Morning on Preston and 635. They still had Tripwire, Ripper and a second Diver there when I left.

Nothing new.. lots of wave 5 and wave 5 rev. 1 cases popping up at wal mart. Only figures missing out of these are the Kamakura, Nano Viper, White Coat Rex, and Blue Tatt Night Adder.
The last two seem to be a Walgreens exclusive. LOL

Ha! Maybe ROC W4 will be like 25th W12 and come out long after W5 is pegwarming and hold all future POC releases back.

I think you are right, that's how it's gonna go down. Especially when they are stocking more Neo Vipers, Baroness and Destro. Our only hope is that they fly off the shelves as last minute Christmas gifts. At $5 each, that might happen but good grief, I've seen a ton the past few days. The Denton WalMart put out 6 of the blue cardboard endcap things on their temporary toy isle. And that was in addition to filling the regular isle. That was AFTER I thought I saw a ton on Saturday. At some point, we will find the wave 4 guys but I'm thinking it's gonna be in a revision case. They can sell every City Strike figure they put out there right now.

Don't worry, everyone from TX to MD has the exact same problem we do. Tons of everything, but the real Wave 4 case. I picked up a 2nd Nano Viper at Walgreens in Mt Juliet, TN so now I'm just down to the elusive Kamakura. Targets only had 1-3, WM was sitting pretty with Wv5Re1 and Wave5. If I find a stash of Kamakura, I'm bringing them back to Dallas for us.
Made it safe. Trip was hell through the snow, but we still made it safe. Picked up a pair of the K-mart sets with a sales tax of 4% in Virginia. The Kmart here doesn't have The Pit, so I can't confirm if it's $50. If that other Kmart in Virginia I pass by on the way back has it for $50, I might give in. I have yet to find the damn all green Astromech in the SW BaD HK-50 case. I find most of the others, but the droid is always gone. Did find a Darth Krayt CP for myself so I gave it. I won't get to check out the Target clearance until January when we can finally head back. Need the Past/Present set, Heavy Metal w/RHINO, the knock-off $15 Sigma 6 jet, and the Gunship. Hoping to find them for 50% off.

That got a chuckle out of me, good one! There's that thread saying clearance starts on the 24th. Regardless of whether clearance starts on Thursday or Saturday, any Joes, SW or TFs will typically start at 10-25% off. It typically takes at least two weeks til they hit 50% off or more. From what I remember about the Target jets and even the Order 66 sets, they didn't hit clearance until March or even later than that. I don't remember when it was exactly, but I remember it being pretty warm out when I picked up the Tiger Rat and Python Conquest at 50% off earlier this year.
