Thats why i really don't buy these club sets.

I got another email saying the boxed sets are now sold out too but that there is a waiting list. I've added myself to the list. If I can't at least get the box set, I'm not going.

I got lucky at a TRU and Target this morning. Picked up the Checkpoint Alpha Kreo kit, which is pricey at $10, but it's really the most affordable set that has some pretty cool characters. No blind packs, but I shouldn't be shelling out $3+ for what's essentially an over glorified Lego figure.

Target had Wave 3 but must not have put all the figures out. Grabbed four of the most expensive G.I. Joe figures I've ever purchased at mass market retail so I'll be done with these figures for a while. At $10 army building is out the window for me and I'm now passing on characters like Cyber Ninja because it just doesn't have any draw for me.

Has any one seen any more poc??? Sadly I think it's done for. Have not seen a restock at TRU since christmas and retaliation restocked at Walgreens. :(

Toys R Us on Western ave has a bunch of Kreo sets and the blind bagged figures as well as a peg of retaliation figures. Picked up the checkpoint Kreo, as well as a jinx, kamakura, ninja viper, rock and roll, crimson guard, and cobra trooper. Also scooped up a retaliation firefly and a red alley viper, both solid figures. Also have the new Battle Beasts sets which I picked up all 4, which are all really cool, with a surprisingly good amount of accessories, good paint and detail that was unexpected. Also am happy with the Kreo figures, pretty neat little figures to add to the collection.

Hey flash may have met you at the show once. Where do you set up your table? Also what are you bringing joe wise? I'll take a look for wave 2 have a few dg by me.

Toys R Us in Crystal Lake has Kre-O sets but not the blind bag figures.

Check for older POC and other lines at Walgreens, and occasionally at the big boxes. That same TRU had a MOC Wraith figure from the ARAH anniversary line on the shelves...either old stock or someone returned it for a card.

JOE Kre-O sets and blind bags at TRU on North Ave in Schiller Park.
