Almost every set I've found has been south of Richmond with the exception of one set in Mechanicsville and one on Jeff Davis. The others were found in Petersburg , Waverly , and Hopewell. I have found 5 sets so far. Two have been passed on to other VA Tankers. I still have one set on card, one set loose complete and one set I did some improvements on.
The only figure I didn't have to touch was the Cobra Trooper he is perfect except for the lack of accessories. |

I agree with Sparks. I think that the Richmond area itself is going to be a bust with these figures. The outskirts and places south and east are more likely to get them. I have gone to a steady round of 10 in the Richmond area for 4 weeks now and haven't found anything local.

If you live in Richmond and do not mind a 40 or so minute drive, I'd recommend calling the Dollar General in Williamsburg. This store had a full set roughly a week and a ago.
Meanwhile - The Newport News Target (off Oyster Point) put out their Retaliation figs today. I must have walked in not long after they were set up, as I was super surprised to find em' there, let alone in the middle of the day. |

I can't believe I'm actually doing this (or posting about it) but I thought I'd check the Walmart in Colonial Heights. They are waiting 'til midnight to sell, so I'm currently waiting at the store. This is the only way to beat Sparks. True story.

At first I didn't want to buy any of the movie stuff, just maybe the ones that they are remaking from the old stuff like the night viper, which I am still interested in, but then I saw them tonight at midnight and I bought some.
I got 2 red ninjas, 1 blue cc, 2 joe troopers, 2 zartans, and 2 cobra troopers. Also got one snake eyes on the bike. The rest I left at the rt50 and pleasant valley walmarts in winchester. They both got in one case each. I have been mainly buying the vintage stuff when I see it and it is reasonable. I picked up a complete tomahawk ( just needs a new canopy), complete 85 parachute pack, a complete 85 mail away sgt slaughter, and some other stuff for 35 bucks. Saw an incomplete sky striker with box at the flea market but the guy wanted 45 bucks for it, I passed because it really wasn't complete at all not even close.

Went by 3 Walmarts on the way in today looking mostly for those 6" Avengers figures, and none of them had done their resets yet. Manassas Mall, Manassas on Liberia, and the new one in chantilly off 28. No joes anywhere, but there was a little bit of the spiderman/batman stuff. None of the 6" batman figs though.

I'm done with the retaliation stuff until they release wave 2 or 3 which I may just order online. I have now turned my attention to TF prime deluxe figures the only problem with that is I found the last 3 I was looking for at Walmart in Chester today. I scored a Vehicon, Knock Out and Hotshot. They had not put ou any retaliation figures or vehicles as of 7:00 this morning. I imagine they will stock them sometime this week. Last edited by sparks007; 05-28-2012 at 08:11 AM.. |

Yeah. if anyone finds wave two, please post! I only want a Firefly, maybe we can help each other out. And Sparks, buddy, I'm just waiting for you to find those DG repaints so I have something to look for these next 9 months...

I'm betting Family Dollar gets the repaints sometime in late july early august. That's when the 25th figures started popping up a couple years ago. I'll be sure to post if I find anything. Hopefully hasbro has some aces up their sleeves for Joecon and SDCC otherwise eBay is gong to be jumping.
