I went into my local Fred Meyers and found 2 Iron Gernadier Destro's and 3 snakeeyes v.3 on the 25th card and Wild Bill at Targets and Wallmart that were not there a few days ago. Has anyone else noticed this or is it just my area. I assume it is either new shippment from warehouse or someones returns.

havent seen an IG destro, or SE, but i see lots of wave 7 on the 25th cards all over. I ran into a Duke, and Torpedo on 25th cards at target the other day.
I would assume hasbro had some 25th cases left over and now they are shipping t hem out. Another thing i thought of are ebay scalpers buying Bats and Serpents, and then returning whatever overstock early wave figures they had that didnt sell. That would explain the random figs that pop up every now an then. |

I can tell you what it might be from a similar experience I had. One day I went to TRU and found a Snow Job, a Cobra Officer, I think a Python Officer and a crimson Guard Officer. All had the old 25th logo on it. I thought maybe they found an old box in the warehouse or something. The next day I go back and find a Cobra Commander in his Battle Uniform and the card had the 25th logo on it. I didn't have him so I was really excited.
Then I noticed the day before as well as this day that they were pulling out all the girls’ toys and redoing like 4 aisles worth of it. That’s when I figured out what was happening. As the employees tour down the girl aisles they were finding everyone’s old GI Joe stashes. People must have hid the Joe's there and then got them somewhere else and forgot about those. So, if that store you were at was redoing some aisles then that might be what happened. Just a thought. |

Oh yea, they love to hide that stuff all over the friggin' store, found some cool Star Wars stuff that way, peering through the upper shelves and just finding stuff tossed aside someplace it shouldn't be. God bless people and their forgetful minds. |
