TRU had quite a few of the POC figures last night. None of the exclusives though. (there was a Cobra Commander though)

All of the area WalMarts (4 of them) are usually well-stocked, but I haven't seen any PoC there yet. TRU has been a disappointment the past few months. Never even saw the Star Wars EU wave (which were the only 2010 SW offerings I wanted) and I have yet to see any PoC stuff there, exclusives or otherwise. The last time I was there, the Joe section has dwindled down to a few pegs of RoC figures and three Wolfhounds. In terms of PoC product, Target has had the goods in the Madison area. The Sun Prairie Target had most of PoC wave 1, the Doom Cycle and the Ghost Hawk yesterday. The other three Targets have been similarly stocked.

Janesville has been lacking as well. I located the figures once at Target, but TRU has only carried the Wolf Hound/H.I.S.S. once. As far as the Wal-Mart, they have yet to reset anything, the action figure toy aisle is very lacking in anything appealing. Luckily, I work in Illinois, so I managed to grab my stuff from there. I fear by the time my Wal-mart puts their stuff out, wave 2 will be out. But then again, Janesville Wal-Mart has always been lacking, they didn't start carrying the 25th line till wave 7.

According to JoeSightings the TRU in Janesville had Quick Kick and Spirit back on the 31st on July. Medcom77, did you happen to see those as well?

I can confirm there was 1 Quick Kick, but otherwise I haven't seen anything. I checked last night thinking they might have finally put the rest of the POC out, but to no avail, tons of Shipwrecks and Docs. I ended up ordering Quick Kick and Spirit online. I did find wave 1 at the Rockford Ill TRU today though, so, not a complete loss. Target seems to be the only one currently participating in the POC line.

I ran out to pick up a few things today and managed to hit a couple of toy departments:
WalMart in Sun Prairie still had a bunch of RoC. No PoC in sight. Target in Sun Prairie had three pegs of PoC, mostly Duke, Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. They also had one Ghost Hawk and two Doom Cycles. Toys R Us in Madison still a bunch of RoC, including the later waves (Charbroil, Night Adder, etc). They had lots of Sting Raiders, too. There were three pegs of PoC figures. They had all of them except Quick Kick, Spirit Iron-Knife, Alley Viper and Cobra Commander. They had a lot of Wolf Hounds, but no HISS Tanks. Still had a ton of Crimson Guard 5-packs, for anyone wanting to army build. So none of this is spectacular news, but maybe I saved you some time and gas with this... |

Once again, I only hit a couple of places, but if I can save you guys some time and gas, then it's worth posting:
I was surprised to find that WalMart in Sun Prairie now has PoC stuff on the pegs. Yesterday, they had nothing. I saw multiples of everything except the Alley-Viper. I also ran out to Marshalls on Madison's east side because I still don't have a 25th Anniversary VAMP. The only G.I. Joe products I found were a couple of Snake Eyes dress-up sets. There hasn't been anything new there in a couple of months, so it might be that they're done with 25th Anniversary stuff. EDIT: I forgot to post this the other day, but I checked both of the Family Dollar stores on East Washington Avenue in Madison on Friday. The one near First Street had 2 Tripwires. The one near Highway 30 had 1 Tripwire, 1 Snow Serpent and 1 Barbecue. I did not make it over to the Sherman Avenue or DeForest stores. I'm still hunting for Battle Armor Cobra Commanders to complete my custom Iron Grenadiers. I think I have pretty much cleaned out Dane County - LOL.

I will probably pick up a PoC VAMP, as well. But that will be for the kids and I to play with. I would definitely be interested in more BACC's, though. |

Agreed, as I never had it as a kid I'm discovering how neat it is right now. And the fact that the tires match up perfectly with the '83 HQ's motorpool lift makes me smile.
