I picked up a Helix at the WR Target today; left a Pit Commando hanging due to fund shortage at the moment. Didn't see Flash or any other 'newer' figures.
Also, Bandit, if you are still looking to complete Kalibak let me know...I picked up an extra torso for him. |

Okay, so here are my findings but a story first.
Lately I've been having a rough time of things. I've been spending my summer in class working on my master's so I've blown most of my summer and not really had a break. which sucked since I missed being with my family and having much time to spend with our new puppy. On top of that I'm currently on the hunt for a job without a lot of prospects, even though I think i might be on to something as of this afternoon. So i've been pretty down in the dumps the last few days. I was already close to Gainesville today at an interview and afterwards said what the hey and went to Target in gainesville. Now I knew I didn't have much money and had already said if I didn't find any of the Joes I wanted I'd just buy the GL:First Flight DVD. I got to the joe section and...... JACKPOT!!!! I found: Helix x3 Pit Commando x2 Flash x3 Elite Viper x3 Eel x3 or 4 Crimson Viper x3 Hawk x3 PP Snake with grey timber x2 Ice Dagger x1 (first time I've actually seen this vehicle) Since I was low on funds I knew I could only get 3 figures. It pained me to leave those Elite Vipers behind, but I grabbed Helix and the 2 pit commandos! (and each are posed with different weapons in the packages too, which is kinda neat). I liked the look of Flash but I've heard several people say that once he is out of the pack he sucks. the eels looked kinda dull and the crimson viper is just a repaint of that awful turtle neo viper with better accessories. So if I ever find them again I'll try to pick up an elite viper or two. to make things easier for my fellow collectors I moved all of them to two pegs on the main action figure line with one peg full of the cobra peeps and the peg below them full of the new Joes. on the peg beside that one the two PP Snake Eyes are on the end. I saw some pegs marked $6.99 and when I took it to customer service was able to get my three figures for that price! Yes you are welcome.

I thought about him when I saw all that new stuff today and felt kinda bad about it for a minute. But only long enough for me to grab up the stuff I wanted in my grubby mitts and rejoice over my findings. lol.
and bandit, if you need Kalibak's right arm, I've got it.

I found me a Helix, Flash, pit commando, and General Hawk at the Target in the Sandy Springs area inside the perimeter. Talk about Jackpot. 1 pit commando, 14 more to go...

The Oakwood Wal-Mart has a large display of Joes in the middle isle in front of the sporting goods department, because that's the logical place to put it....wtf

it was only a matter of time before the newer waves started flooding stores. The helix/flash/pit commando wave wasn't any different it just came after the first shipments. These will be flooding shelves soon. I'm happy I got all of my price adjustments at target from the tru ad. Now I can just swap figs out at toysrus from my 4.99 stockpile.

Going to 2 different Targets today in my hunt for Helix. Wish me luck.
Also, I'm mailing the coffin for my XBOX 360 today. :( |
