I am at the Wal-Mart on Streamwalk Lane in Manassas. Chances are if you looking for something that doesn't have a street date on it and I am in the store It will be put out sometime around 8pm or 9pm.
I put out 5 case of wave 7 last night about 7:30. So in addition to the peg warmers that I put on the top peg I was able to fill the three pegs below it. That actually felt good to see all four pegs full of Joes for the first time in months. |

So I swung by TRU on Military again today since I was driving by again. Of course there was nothing new but I saw an employee stocking up some Iron Man and Hulk toys so I asked her about the GI Joes.
She said that every morning when the doors open, the same five guys are there and practically fall all over each other running back there to grab anything they can. She also told me that unfortunately there is nothing they can do about it, she and several of the other employees hate those guys. It's a miracle both me and Shin found those officer three packs there apparently.

Can't they wait and then put the stock out. I know of some stores doing that back when I hunted Starting lineups. They would wait and put them out at different times or just put limits of 1 of each per person?
Its weird that the joes are scalped a lot in our area! Not that its surprising in general, but its surprising when there are a ton of other lines with hard to find figures, that are easier to find here than the joes! BTW those of you who want joe scaled Marvel figures, the new Hulk figures are in 3-3/4" scale. The Hulkbusters are actually repainted DTC figures. Hulkbusters are in wave 2 I believe, but Nimmo walmart, and TRU now have the hulk figures from wave 1. |

I found the remnants of Wave 7 at the Kingstowne Wal-Mart. By remnants, I mean one Snake-Eyes. The Kingstowne TRU did have a battle armor CC, and an IG Destro. A very nice lady in the wal-mart toy dept told me they had more GI Joe singles in the stockroom and might get them Monday.
Also, that Wal-Mart didn't get Indy toys yet, according to her, but they were probably on tonight's truck. Somebody dropped the ball. Anyway...are they mostly showing up in Wal-Marts? I don't really have easy access to Wal-Mart, but I might try to hit Fair Lakes tomorrow morning. We'll see. Anyone wanna grab a set of Wave 7 (minus SE) for a fellow tanker? I'll buy ya a beer. Heck I'll bring ya a 6 pack (provided you're over 21...I think most of us here are). I just have a feeling I'm never gonna see these, and BBTS appears to have been shafted by Hasbro.

What did they look like? I saw an old guy looking for Hot Wheels, he seemed like a regular, the employees knew him. At battlefield walmart I saw an old man with a cartful of Mcquarrie concept figures, and 2 years ago I saw an old woman there with a checklist from the computer of Marvel Legends.
I'd wait it out a bit before going online, the military highway TRU just put the shelf tags for the officer packs on shelves this week. They are next to the Sigma 6 wave that came back to the store(grey pants SS wave).
