I'm looking forward to Toy Con this Sunday... I was in San Diego for Thanksgiving and bought the UBP at Target and Wave 11 at a Wal*Mart and Target. It seems the Otay Ranch stores got the Wave 11 revision case without Airborne, which is fine since I managed to pick him up at the Bollingbrook Target on Sunday.
It's sad how my interest in the line is rapidly waning with Wave 13 being so cruddy to me. Once I get Blowtorch I'm pretty much done... :(

You guys crack me up; glad that everyone seems to be getting the goods! LtDom, I think the dude that got those Gurnee Wave 11 remnants was somewhere between kid and collector! LastDragon, next time you're up in Waukilla, we'll have to go on S.C.A.L.P. patrol and regulate (yes, those Siegee packs sitting there were still callin' for you bro!).
Anyway, those slippery Eels won't get away that easily, as a lunchtime trip to my Hodgkins (La Grange/Countryside) Target found a single Eel harpooned to the peg. I am a loose collector, but I have to say that, on first inspection, I thought that my old nemesis from my Sandtroopers.com days, the diabolical and cruel DR. CARDBENDER was up to his old treacherous ways, as the card was bent and bubble crushed and separated - blasphemy! I truly think tis was an innocent case (no pun intended) of Hasbro shipping damage. Same store had an odd mix of Wave 10 and 11 (a Wraith, Cantina Flint, Duke w/Mandalorian jetpack, Intntl Scarlett, Croc Martins). Was able to get my Mesquite BBQ Megatron TF screen battle pack at this Target too. TOYCON: May try to get down there again this year. Went down with the 501st a couple times, but it's been a while. I will be in CC unmasked disguise. Hope to see some of the IL forum guys there! VARIANT ALERT??? - I've seen some Zartans with neon green eyes WITH pupils, and some with white (Ben Stein's Clear Eyes) eyes with NO pupils - is this for real, or is Hasbro cooking our goose? Jonathan Frakes may have to weigh in with the solution.

This is a little late but Target on 63rd in Woodridge had plenty of the Matt Trakker wave! I got them all earlier, so I left them there for (hopefully) a fellow Tanker!

I can't wait for Wave 13 to hit retail stores in this area. I shipped my final G.I. Joe POL from BBTS and it felt weird since this is probably the end of my mass collecting of the line-- at least until Hasbro announces the next big assortment of Wave 14 and beyond. I really want Blowtorch and that's the one figure out of eight that most folks will be looking for... I'm glad in a way since it means less stuff to track down and buy.

Let the leaked images and speculation for the RISE OF COBRA begin!!!
The MARS Trooper set looks nice, ill pass but it looks nice. Honestly the only figs I plan on buying thus far are Snake Eyes and Stormshadow. Possibly a regular Cobra Trooper depending on the style and possibly the Cobra army - Zartan, Baroness, CC, Destro, Firefly - depending on how they all look. Im psyched about the movie toys, cuts the 25th line in half at least for 6 months or so, saves me $$. The only catch - this is the best opportunity we will get for a FLAGG or TerrorDrome, that will hurt the pocket book if it happens.

Swung by the Target at Boughton Road and Weber today in Bolingbrook on my lunch. I was pleased to find my first 2 EELS, and got Wraith, Bazooka Trooper, and Zartan. I left the Specialist Trakker, Flint w/disguise, and pilot Scarlett as well as a bunch of others. Sure wish they were still $4.99, though. I still haven't seen an Airborne yet; but my order from HTS is expected tomorrow.

I really don't want Matt Trakker but I will take his head if anyone is just using the body for a custom.
