Well worked my Black Friday shift.
Walmart at Massaponax got stripped. Down from 140 or last night on pegs to about 60ish. All wave 3 4 and 5 from yesterday gone save for a few Rex's. All the Dragonhawks, Snarlers, Skysweepers and Ice Daggers are gone, maybe one Mantis left iirc. However there were 8 Ninja Battle sets left. Funny - I guess even kids know that Ninja Battle sets are lame. Little bit of generational osmosis going on. Today in 757 (K'ville K-Mart) I picked up a desert viper (awesome) and skipped on the new Storm Shadow (not the arctic, the other one). They also had C.S. Duke and C.C., I passed on both. Finally, I did notice they had the giant Terminator 4 tank with the chain guns - you almost never see that in stores. Not sure, but the other guy in the aisle had that air about him that he might've been from the forum, any chance that was Marthor or Shin? |

Just got back from Target at PA and Lynnhaven / PA Wal-Mart. Nada at Target BUT saw Red Fang and saw / picked up my first Arctic Threat Storm Shadow. I asked a nice associate and he stated no more Wave 4/5 were available now - some people had been waiting for the boxes. But good news and hopefully signs we'll see the waves we're looking soon!
If anyone else is interested they had tons of the ML exclusive Nemesis wave as well as all the DCUC Imperiex wave. ML was on the wall in back perpindicular to the normal aisles. DCUC was in two places on the toy aisle - on the pegs and on the left side lower shelf. Last edited by Dod Ear; 11-30-2009 at 11:24 PM.. |

Shin - glad to see that helped! I don't collect DCUC but I did verify the entire wave was there. I only saw one 'Robotman' though - he was in the back on the left lower side shelf I mentioned.
Stopped by S. Military Hwy Wal-Mart on my lunch break and saw 2 Charboils, 2 Night Adders and a Red Fang! This was in the main action figure aisle (they have a surplus of Waves 1-3 in the extra Christmas stock area). No Kamakura / CS Snake Eyes just yet but getting closer... S. Military Target had no singles worth mentioning but they had Wave 2 Deluxe figures Wet-Suit and Viper w/ Jet Pack. Also on the end cap the Snow Job Rockslide exclusive for 24.99. |

With full CS SE fever upon me I checked at Lynnhaven Wal-Mart today. No dice! But there was one Night Adder and several Doctors / PP Baroness' that may be of interest.
They also all the new Wal-Mart exclusive 2 figures w/ vintage outpost sets. At $14.96 not a bad deal. They also had plenty of the Wal-Mart exclusive Ninja Battles set and one Mantis w/ Aqua Viper buried undeneath a bunch of molepods. Lynnhaven TRU had one each: arctic threat SS, Night Adder and Charbroil. Oh, and the grey camo F-22 was back in stock. All this said, I'm pretty encouraged we're going to see Waves 4-5 in large number soon. Last edited by Dod Ear; 12-02-2009 at 08:11 PM.. |

Hey Dod Ear, were you at the Lynnhaven Walmart past the mall? I went to the Super Walmart at Lynn/PA today and didn't see the battle station packs, so I'm guessing you were at the one past TRU and the mall.
I'm hoping waves 4-5 hit saturation in the next 2 months. I'm shocked that wave 4 has been so elusive. I recommend Kamakura, definitely one of the best figures in the wave. I also saw some DCUC, a few on pegs, some on the right lower(but not lowest) shelf towards the end of the aisle. Picked up 1 Manbat, there is another left, 2 Batmans, 1 Forager and 2 Power Girls. What an elusive wave. |

If you pick them up in the meantime I could always return them. And cageyJG, you gotta thank Shin instead! If not for him I would never even have turned around in that aisle to know someone was making a cool F-22! |
