Just got back from a run, took the long way home from work looking for the DVD packs - no luck, no wave 8 or 9 single carded figures except a Baroness:
Wal-Mart - Lost Mountain - had the serpentor/armadillo and the ram/flight pod - both boxes were not too good, the ram/flight pod had a box cutter SLIT on the right hand side, cut all the way through the plastic. I’ve noticed several like this, when they open the box they either completely cut the right side of the boxes or at least scratch them, hard to find them at a wal-mart in really decent shape if you want MIB. Target - corner of Hwy120 and Barrett Parkway - nothing (EVER for me) Target - Smyrna - nothing (EVER for me) Target - Kennesaw, Barrett Parkway – nothing Target – Acworth – had all 4 vehicles in very NM condition, the Hiss and ram/flight pod were crushed very much bad, they also had all three of the new comic packs firefly/copperhead/red star (2 of each) Wal-Mart older Acworth – missed it, was daydreaming Wal-Mart North/newer Acworth – nothing, most of their single card figures have been completely destroyed, they had a Baroness in decent shape Hope this will save some people some time and gas, wish I would have. I even got the lady (really kind lady) in the electronics department at Target in Smyrna to check the inventory of the other stores for the DVD packs, Kennesaw showed 4, Acworth showed 4 – but when I got there and entered the dcip in the scanner they showed up zero, very sad.

Yes, I went to both in Kennesaw (the one on Highway 120 and the one close to Town Center) as well as the one in Acworth. The Acworth Target DID have a place for them in their toy isle, 19.99 pirce, but empty spaces. Matter of fact they had a lot of empty spaces, no single cards but more pegs for them than normal, hopefully they will fill them up soon.

Hi Guys. I'm new to the Georgia area (I know, you're all thinking,"Great! Another collector we have to contend with."), and I currently reside on the Kennesaw/Acworth line, so I can chime in with sightings as well. I don't find much in this area, either from not making many runs, or the fact that the distribution centers just don't like us folk up here in the North Metro area.
I do have a question for Y'all though. Are there any places in the area (Cherokee, Cobb, Fulton, etc) where you can buy vintage Joe stuff? Like collectible shops, or swap meets or reliable "antique" markets or flea markets? Like I said, I'm new to the area, but I would rather physically see what I am buying when it comes to older vintage stuff, rather than trust descriptions on the internet. I've been let down many times before. Plus, I like to haggle, and you can only do that in person. I went to that Joe collector show at the Cobb Civiv Center a while back and had a great time, but I haven't seen or heard of anything else like that anywhere else. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And I will gladly keep my spyglass out to help Y'all locate new stuff in the stores. Thanks Guys (and Gals)!!!
