Just curious what kind of distances other members travel on average when going on a joe hunt. I'm fairly lucky, there are two walmarts, a target, and a TRU all with in about a 10 mile radius of each other in the city I live in.

i am lucky enough to live within about 30 miles of 8 Targets, 7 Wal-Marts and 2 TRUs. that's probably why i don't have too much trouble finding all the figures. one of them is obund to have 'em.

Too much. I've gone from Long Beach to Compton to Torrance/Gardena/Hawthorne to Culver City to Baldwin Hills to west Hollywood to the San Fernando Valley to Glendale. I'm trying to stop this craziness.

When I lived in BC (Abbotsford) I used to drive all the way out to Seattle 3 times a month (about a 3 hour drive). I would stop in at 5 Wal-Marts, 4 Targets, 3 K-Marts, 2 KB Toys, 2 Fred Meyer and 2 Toys R Us. But now I live in Alberta so Online is my only hunting. Not so much hunting as it is waiting and paying out the A** for shipping. I guess it's better $$ shipping than gas prices right now.

When I was hunting like a madman I would basically blanket Orange County and hit up every Target or Walmart nearby. It was within a 40 mi radius I believe. My full tank of gas would be gone within 3 days.

Well...is like a sixth sense that won't let me sleep. I usually find my needs in a 20 mile radius upon hitting 1 or 2 stores. But I get the urge to keep going and go visit other stores and hit the jackpot.

I am not sure what the radius or anything is, but, round trip I think hitting every single store I can takes about 100 miles, so that's not too bad. Its 20 miles to one city, and 18 to another, so I don't make the trip terribly often to both.

i live in bangor, maine in the winter, and when i visit my parents in kennebunk/toy hunt i go from highway mile 190 to 35 for a total of 5 walmarts, 4 targets, 2 TRUs, and 2 kmarts. problem with that is that that far north from the rest of the US is still pretty far south from canada as to be in a dead zone in terms of shipments. though i did manage to find a wave 1 snake eyes.
but then, even with nil shipments, there's still only a handful of buyers. so stuff tends to linger. pretty give-and-take.

Here's my list of "hunting spots" in Northern Mississippi
1. Holly Springs Wal-Mart (main spot, usually has new waves within 1-3 weeks) - ~12 miles away 2. New Albany Wal-Mart (pretty much only peg warmers) ~ 15 miles 3. Ripley Wal-Mart (only place around where I've seen any "revision waves" - just got a Zartan, Firefly, & v1 SE there two days ago) ~15 miles 4. Toys R' Us, Tupelo (pretty much all they have is peg warmers and the TRU Exclusives) ~30 miles 5. Tupelo Wal-Mart (mostly peg-warmers, with an occasional surprise) about a mile from the TRU I usually cover New Albany & Tupelo one week then Ripley the next. I go to Holly Springs every week though, that's where I gets me groceries!
