As I'm often walking among the "zombie shift," I managed to find a box for the comic pack later that Wed night at that Walmart. There was only one Duke/CC and one Scar/Hawk in the box, though. So, I was able to get the whole set and left the duplicates behind.
Let me know when you find one, otherwise, I'll keep my eyes open for you. Just pay what's on the receipt and we're cool. BTW, what kind of condition are you looking for?
My "Want" list (any condition, complete):
Crimson Guards (thinking 3-4 max)
My "Need" list (in displayable, near-mint condition):
Entire Wave 4, 5, and 6. I've got a preorder for Wave 5 w/ BBTS, but if I can pick up the entire set in one visit, I'll do it.

Anyway I must have hit there just after you because I found what you left.
Any condition, complete sounds about right (With the Doc Sticker. I only need one more as I was able to unload the extra comic packs I bought just for the stickers to someone at work). I myself am always looking for Sieges so if I find some extra I'll share. (I have two right now)
Last I looked the Fry's Marketplace in Gilbert (Gilbert Road and the 60) had wave 4 but they are $6.99 each.

I even checked that Fry's Marketplace you mentioned a few weeks back Shin, and there is nada to speak of! I'm so jones-in for Joes that $6.99 sounded like an acceptable price! In other words, shoot me now! :-) |

| | Professional Drunk Join Date: Nov 2004 Posts: 71 | Alright, I missed wave 5 at Target. I live not 100 feet away from the Target on 44th st and Thomas. I went there today to only find Snow Job and 1 Crimson Guard. Which means I missed the rest of the wave, not to mention they had wave 2 comic packs, but no dreadnoughts. Dammit! Who else collects around here?

| | or nothing Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Queen Creek, AZ Posts: 272 | Anybody else check out any other Targets w/in the last couple of days? I can hit up five of them on my way home tonight...I'll update this post w/ what I find.
EDIT: eyeballkid>I used to live on 52nd and Thomas. I'll keep an eye out for a dreadnok pack for you...already keeping an eye out for a Scarlett/Hawk pack for Shin.
Just in case, I'll be hitting up the Targets @:
Rio Salado & McClintock
Fiesta Mall
Gilbert & 60
Power & Baseline
Power & 202
EDIT 2: Sure wish I was looking for comic packs wave 1. every target had at least two of each...most had 4. target @ fiesta mall had a snow job and gold destro. i picked up the destro and the girl charged me $3 because she didn't know the price and i (honestly) couldn't remember it...and i wasn't going to argue with her. she knew she was giving me a deal and i thanked her for it.
so, recap, i went to all of those targets and they only had wave 1 comics. kaybee at fiesta had a firefly. superstition TRU and kmart had nothing. walmart on rio Salado, near superstition, on hunt, and at power/ray had nothing.

I hit Val Vista and Warner this morning and nothing new.
