Will do SURGE. I just did the rounds over here in the Austin area..again. Been doing it this whole week (wm, trs, tg), nothing yet. I'll post if I find them. I'll do another run on monday.

cool, i'll do the same. i'm bugging everyone at TARGET every morning. only a few WALMARTS sell them, but they are always out.
Last month i drove to Austin at 7:20pm FOR THE Wii on a sunday and made it T 8:30 IN AUSTIN AND IT CLOSED AT 9:00. So if you find any i have no problem driving again.
thanks Jignacio

I missed wave 1, but was at a wal-mart in Wichita Falls getting groceries and its been a while since Ive bought anything and I just sold a ton of stuff on ebay, so I decided to look around and I got Cobra Commander, Cobra Trooper, Lady Jaye, Beach Head, Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. They had Buzzer and Serpentor, but I never liked them. In total they had about 12 figures. This was Friday night. Might have to get Flint and the Cobra Officer on ebay.

Thats news to my ears Sentry, since it's still Texas. I'll make my rounds again today. I'm sure some have trickled down to the stores down here since there is a huge Walmart distribution center a little bit near the San Marcos outlets. I have a feeling I'll run into some this week! Woohoo! It's starting to feel like the 80's again..well sort of lol!

Ok, That Sounds Cool. I'm In San Antonio. I'll Let You Know When We Get Some Down Here In Target, Wal-mart Or Heb Plus.

I just called TARGET and the lady said that the G.I. joe's were discontinued. I don't think so if they sellout quick, and they make money. That's bull.

Thats good that they are beginning to come down south..well sort of. Nothing yet as of today (12pm) in the Austin area (i35 corridor). I'll check again tomorrow and this weekend. Lots of sigma 6 stuff but no 25th anniversary single packs (wave 1 or 2).

Just curious, anyone here on the board have friends who stock at Walmart? I'm curious on when which days they receive shipments specifically for toys.

Thanks.

I've been looking in the D/FW area for the second wave as well as the SE Variant. No luck as of yet, just keep finding 5 packs and hooded commanders.

Have a friend who runs the recieving section at the Wal Mart in Lake Worth. He keeps me informed on when the new stuff comes in. I'll see when they get their shipments in for the like and post it here.
