MANY THANKS to Cobraoner. I took the 45 minute trek to Katy and found all the wave 2 kreons I needed except the Eel!!!
I stopped at the Sugar Land TRU first in case they'd gotten some, but of course they hadn't. This sent me on a trip around the city in which I'll bullet-point my finds: TRU SUGAR LAND: No kreons, looks like they got another case of Retaliation Wave 1 figures in. Oh brother! TRU KATY: Some wave 2 kreons (& wave 3 TF kreons), usual Retaliation wave 1 figs, blah. TRU I-10/BUNKER HILL: No kreons, more wave 1 Retaliation figs. Ugh. TRU WESTHEIMER: Wave 2 kreons, allowing me to find an Eel! Woo!! Wave 1 Retaliation guys of course! TRU ASTRODOME: Empty box of wave 2 kreons!! What a taunt!!! Wave 1 Retaliation guys!! Gah, theyre like cockroaches!! TRU BAYBROOK: No kreons. Wave 1 Retaliation figs!!! Aaarrghh!! So it looks like some TRUs are just getting in fresh cases of wave 1 Retaliation figures, which is sad, and making us less likely to see wave 3.5 there. Ugh. Most if not all the TRUs had the Ghoststriker vs Asp kre-o set, but nothing else newer. Wonder why this one is hitting so much sooner than the other sets? If youre looking for kreons of Joe characters, I think I left a full set at Katy, as well as some of the Cobra characters. Westheimer had a handful as well. Not any sign of wave 3.5 in any of those stores. Whole lotta wave 1, which seemed new to at least a few of these locations (or had been sitting in back). Hope everyone ordered wave 3.5 and arent hoping to find them in the wild, cause wave 1 isnt going anywhere, especially not at $10 a piece.... Thanks again to Cobraoner for making my day!!

No problem man glad I could help. Yeah im not sure whats up with the wave 1 being restocked. The last sale they had after wave two was released they put out an old ROC vehicle on the shelf.... Thing was beat to crap. LOl ... Im sure wave 3.5 will hit .. Itll probably just catch everyone off guard.

Good morning all! We're officially at the one month mark!
When you get a chance make sure and check out our new show website at DFW GI Joe and Action Figure Show II . There you'll be able to find the figure and dio contest rules along with pictures from last year’s show as well as other helpful information. Thanks, Michael |

LOL!!! I bought that mantis attack craft. It was beat to crap and I'm pretty sure something urinated on it...but after passing those things up 20 times (at marshalls and Ross) I was glad to pick it up for $1. They had nothing special today. The 30th crimson HISS that was left had a "lifted" horseman.

When I first discovered the Bunker Hill TRU earlier this year, I thought it was gonna be amazing-- it looked sparkly new and huge, so I thought it would have all the new exciting stuff. But sad to say I have never found anything there. It has older stuff than about any other TRU Ive seen. They still have pegs and pegs of Thor figures! I havent seen any of those at any other TRU in ages. The Joe stuff is certainly nothing to write home about either-- Renegades figures still lingering, and about 4-6 pegs of Transformers from a year ago. I guess since it's bigger, it doesnt have to turn around stock as quickly, but Ive never found anything new Ive been looking for there, much as I'd like to.

Picked up Wave 2 Kreons at TRU in McAllen, TX on Friday. Seems it had 2 of each character, except for Major Bludd, Ripper, Mutt & Junkyard, and Mindbender. Got 8, left 8. Go get 'em!!!

Thanks davestro and hoovertron for keeping this thread alive. I wish I had good news to report, but it's been pretty quiet on the Corpus front. I'm not participating in the Kreo line, but I did see the set with the armored cobra vehicle at the Corpus TRU.
