Same here. I'll post right away if I find either of them.

This afternoon, I found one Hall of Heroes Crimson Guard and one FLAK / CLAW set at the Madison Toys R Us. And there were shelf tags for both. How random is that?

That's interesting. I think its probably leftover stock from any TRU expresses in your area. I spoke with one of the managers at my TRU and when they closed the TRU express in Green Bay earlier this month they brought over the overstock and put it on the shelves at the TRU in Green Bay. They didn't even bother to take off some the TRU Express price stickers. So now my TRU has $79.99 Clone Wars Y-Wings left over from the TRU express. BTW, did anyone notice that TRU jacked up their prices?

Found Alley Vipers in store for the first time since the first appearance of Wave 1. Must have been a refresh case. Picked up a Firefly for myself, figured I'd pop one of the two heads on Wave 4 Destro to make a SAW Viper.
Also, I ordered the VAMP off Amazon, I'm excited to put it together and sticker it up tonight! |

Yeah, I saw the FLAK/CLAW set at the TRU yesterday too and thought it was strange.
there are CCs hanging on the pegs of the Fitchburg and West side Madison Targets, nothing else spectacular though. Excited for Wave 4 to get here since I didn't order any online. |

Stopped at Wal-Mart last night to pick up more of those clear plastic fishing lure cases (they work perfect for storing loose Joes) and found a couple revision cases. There was probably 4-5 Alley Vipers and a whole peg of Firefly from Wave 1. Anybody that couldn't find them the first time around should keep your eyes open.

hey SgtHumpty, what brand of paint do you use for your customs? And where do you get custom supplies in Madison?

Nick - I use mostly Testors paints and sealants. Occasionally, I used Polly Scale, Folk Art or Apple Barrel if they have a unique color that I'd rather not try mixing. I usually get my supplies at Michaels on the east side. Occasionally, I will also get stuff at Hobby Horse (on East Washington Avenue, across from Office Depot). They specialize in model railroad, R/C vehicles all types of model building. They have a lot of cool diorama stuff and a wide variety of paints. I'd be happy to show you around my workshop if you're thinking of getting into customizing.

Hey Guys,
Checking in from Titletown. WAY TO GO PACK! It's a GI JOE wasteland here in the Green Bay area. Both Targets got in a case of revision cases with an Alley Viper. No restocks of Wave 3 yet and still no sign of the Vamp or Fury. The TJ MAXX in my area did get some Super Bowl 45 collectibles if any of you are interested in comemerating the Packers victory over the Steelers. The TRU in Green Bay got in some new Star Wars stuff, the Endor Pilot packs and remnants of the latest wave of Clone Wars figures, and two POC mech suits and some ROC figures |

Still no sign of PoC wave 4 in Sun Prairie.
All of the Joe stuff at the Sun Prairie WalMart has been moved to a rear-facing endcap. Figures are priced at $6.96, so they aren't marked for clearance yet, but I'll keep checking. There have been reports of WalMarts getting rid of their PoC Joes for under $4 each. I've got what I want/need in terms of complete PoC figures, but at clearance prices I couldn't pass up the quality fodder! Also, I still have quite a bit of that vintage collection I'm selling for my friend. There's still a lot of good stuff in there and no reasonable offer will be refused (not looking to get rich, just want to sell his stuff for a fair price). Any of you that live in or near Dane County are close enough to me that you could skip the whole shipping issue. Take a peek at my BST for details. Thanks! |
