There's some a-hole frequenting that walmart in chambodia. I saw the destro/breaker with a valor vs venom stalker and a 5pk destro in it.

So I went to the Super Wal-mart on Chamblee for the first time, thinking maybe it might have gotten some wave 9--this store is huge by the way--but of course it was as bare as a pink-assed baboon. There was one DVD pack but Lady Jaye and Destro had been replaced with older versions and some funny-looking Lego-like figure supplanted the MASS device. So I decided to stop at TRU since I hadn't been there in awhile--it usually has a very small section of Joes, but I got lucky once before when I found Wave 8 (except for Bludd & parka SE). And when I walked toward the aisle I saw the backs of several Joes hanging on the end cage--way more than I'd seen last time--and my pulse quickened as I turned the corner, half-expecting to see more Duke and Vipers but was pleastantly surprised to see 2 full cases of Wave 9 hanging on the pegs. I couldn't f***ing believe my luck! I grabbed one case, except for the Hawks, whom was the only one I've found until now, and grabbed the 2nd BAT because that's one treasure I've surely learned should not be discarded. Just for shits and grins I decided to stop at the Target nearby to see if maybe they had gotten anything and lo and behold they had the remnants of some Wave 9 (ninja ku, barbecue, hawk, nothing else), but they had gotten more vehicle packs in. I swear my area is the last place to see anything--it's always 1 or 2 months behind every other place in the country. Finally I can rest and not worry whether my pre-order from BBTS will ever ship. Phew.

i think he went to the one near gwinnett mall...i stopped by the alpharetta one this am and saw leftovers of wave 9, well bbq manly and some ninja ku. that figure is growing on me, may be tempted to pick one or two up.
i haven't seen any joe figure swappers lately, mostly just star wars and even then its usually at the walmart on ashford dunwoody and the walmart stores on cobb parkway. well, also some ass did it to the alpharetta walmart. but those are just star wars. |

Took the kids over to the new TRU at MOG today. They had Wave 7 singles, Senior Ranking Officers, and pretty much all the vehicles. If your still looking for vehicles, this is where you need to go.
On the way home we stopped by our wal mart on Hamilton Mill Rd to get a few groceries. To my surprise, they had all the Wave 5 Comic Packs. I previously picked up Falcon/Nemesis in Gainesville last week so this time around I was wanting the Black Headed Destro. I couldnt find him. So I put the Gold Headed Destro pack in the cart and grabbed the Tripwire/Commander pack as well. In the check out line, I talked myself out of the Gold Destro pack and decided to try and find the Black Varient later on so I put it down. When I got home, I was opening up the Tripwire pack (which is very good by the way) and kept thinking that I really wanted that Iron Greneider fig. So about 4 hours later, i decided to just go back and get the Gold Destro 2 pack in fear that I wasnt going to be able to find the Varient anyways. I get there and im looking thru them to find "the right one" and down on bottom, there is a mess of all different figs piled up like a hurricane went down. I look thru it and there on the very bottom of the pile is the black headed Destro. Damn. I couldnt believe it. So, I snatched him up and took it home. So if your looking for the Wave 5 CP's, Hammilton Mill Wal-Mart is your hook up. No more Varient Destro's but they have a shit load of the series. On a side note, can anyone tell me the signifigance of the Destro Black Mask ? Obviously he is wearing it on the cover of the comic that comes with the pack but I never remember him wearing a black mask in the toon. |

It looked cool so they decided to make it. I think that question was asked either at the joe con or sdcc, but that's more or less their answer. Which i must add: good answer, good answer. And The IG fig is pretty awesome, it was my favorite army builder from the vintage line.

I met up with madcrazyloco and got the wave 9 figures and the Ram and trouble bubble vehicles. Then went to the target at the MOG and picked me up the wave 2 12 inch. Then went to walmart and got more wave 9 but no BATS and Snow trooper. I got the flacon comic pack. Tripwire was there but no Destro. Went to Cumming Walmart and nothing there but the usual suspects. Now I struck gold on wave 9 including BATs and snow Serpents. Now I am looking for the black destro and army building IGs.

I agree, good answer. It does look cool and all but honestly, I think I like my single release Destro Grenadier just a little better. I dont remember the vintage Grenadiers but this new one is very cool. Makes me wanna build an army of them to. Thanks for answering my question. |

Stopped by the Howell Mill Wally on the way home tonight with hopes of finding Nemesis Enforcer - only Vipers, silver-sunglasses Snakeyes, Spirit, and Wild Bill were hanging out...No dvd packs, no vehicles...

Thought I'd post it here first, in hopes that one of my GA Joe Bros could help me out. Just looking for Lady Jaye (complete) from the DVD pack.
Anyone? LMK... |
