I will be up in the STL area next weekend. I'm looking to score a couple Specter's and CG 3-packs. Which locations would my best chances be to accomplish that? I am also looking for a few Flash to get caught up. Anybody seen on the pegs?

There are 3 TRUs that are really close to me (or at least on the way) along with several Targets. I'm getting ready to make some more raids this week yet. If you let me know what you're looking for, I could probably snag them for you ahead of time and meet up with you when you're in town. Might save time for you. Just a thought. |

Major, major find tonight!
Wal-Mart in Nixa is where it's at right now. So I was headed down the action alley towards the Joe aisle, and on the way there I saw an endcap FILLED with Joes! Then, in my giddiness, I waltzed over to the Joe aisle and every peg was FULL. I picked up Duke, Destro v1, Destro IG, Cobra Officer, and Cobra Commander 1987 battle armor. I also saw, but had to leave behind (due to financial constraints or some I already picked up).... Rock n Roll, Scarlett, Torpedo (tons of them) Air Trooper, Snow-Job (a few of them) Gung-Ho, Cobra Commander masked, Roadblock, Serpentor, and I think a few others I can't remember right now. They have a chit-ton of Cobra officers and Air Troopers over there. I picked up only 1 of 2 CC battle armors, and also only 1 of 2 Destro v1. They had a lot of IG Destros left though. Oh, and they also have the pegs overstuffed with comic book packs. I'm glad I went to Wal-Mart tonight. I just went to pick up a staple gun and then I saw all those Joes. I was absolutely stunned to say the least. That was the most G.I. Joes I have ever seen on a Wal-Mart shelf since I was a kid. I'm completely broke now. Well not completely broke, I just have enough to cover gas and smokes and little things for the next 2 weeks...but I could NOT pass up what I saw tonight. It felt like a once in a lifetime scenario after months and months of empty pegs. Hopefully this is a trend with all Wal-Marts fully stocking the shelves finally!

Hahaha Cool find!
Target in Springfield restocked the vehicles and I picked up a second HISS tank. They aren't by the checkout aisle anymore so don't bother looking there if you want them. Viper 48 if for some reason you can't get one of the other HISS tanks my second one is still in it's box if you want to trade for it, I have my eye on the Joe TRU 3 pack. |

Wal Mart on Independence had waves 5 and 6. It was hard to pass on the Crimson Guards but i already have 10 so i am set. I am glad to see they had some figures because i haven't seen very many there for quite a while...

Oh you're in Columbia Khambat? That's my hometown and I usually go back there during the summers. We should help each other out in finding stuff over the summer. I live near the mall so I've got two Wal-Marts, Target, and TRU nearby so it's no problem to hunt for stuff on my end.
Whenever I'm really looking for something and I don't want to wait, I go to my parents' in St. Charles. I can almost always find it somewhere there. And, yeah, I'm all for helping each other out. With the variety of things coming available, it can't hurt to have an extra pair of eyes.. |

The TRUs are rotating the 3-packs. It looks like they are breaking up shipment and only sending two out three to each store. I had to go to two different ones to get all three and that seems to be consistant with the other ones I've been too. The five packs are all of them though, but I have yet to see the Greenshirts.

Nope, haven't seen Flash anywhere. It really depends on where you're gonna be in St. Louis. The two along I-70 are good, and Chesterfield is pretty decent as well. It's possible to hit all the TRUs in the area, but it's at least a 3 hour haul to do so, and LOT of driving. Bonus is that each TRU has a Target by it or on the way. Two are close to Wal-marts too.
There are 3 TRUs that are really close to me (or at least on the way) along with several Targets. I'm getting ready to make some more raids this week yet.

Thanks for the offer, I may have to take you up on that. |

I'm going to be in St. Charles and St. Peters. Which two along I-70 are you referring to? I plan on stopping by the TRU across from the Mid-Rivers Mall (St. Peters?), is there a Target in the area? I also plan on going to the TRU and Target on Lindburgh. Possibly the Target in Fenton on the way home.
