I know they got alot of the ROC and 25th stuff. Has anyone seen them yet? If not, will they get them? I'd love to get a second chance at scoring a Shadow Tracker or Money Bags Destro.

Wave 4 and 6 were tough to come by in the wild. ONly saw wave 4 (Shadow Tracker, Money Bags DEstro, etc) twice ever, and never saw wave 6.....fortunately, I ordered wave 6 from BBTS, not knowing it was going to be next to impossible to find in retail. I am proud to say I have a complete POC collection. My only small gripe about POC is the sub-standard filecards, other than that it was an awesome line.

I HAD a damn Shadow Tracker that I picked up at Magic Mart(its kinda like a ghetto walmart) but suffered a huge loss of my Joe collection last year. I never saw wave 4 Destro in the wild...ever. I really do hope these show up at Ross or TJ Maxx. I don't care if I do have to travel roughly two hours to get to these stores.

Lowlight was the wave 4 gem, IMO. When I found wave 4, there were 4 of each charcater, but only 2 Lowlights. I only grabbed one of each, but if I would have known how rare they were gonna be, I would have grabbed at least one more set for trades.

We won't see these at discount stores. Just look at the figures, these two had to have been really expensive to produce. I suspect this is why they weren't produced in a high quantity. I would love to know the numbers!!!
Rex, just curious how did you loose your Joe collection? Quote:

Also, I'm sure there will be no fewer than 1000 Renegades Cobra Commanders that get filtered to each of these stores. |

The lowest number they produce of any figure is still pretty high, usually 5 digits. These sure didn't seem like it, though. I only ever saw Destro in the wild, and am still half-assedly looking for a shadow tracker to pop his mask off. The other hard to find stuff (Ren SS etc) I found the first time I went looking, and never saw again. I had already ordered them online though, and let SithLordSmart get his set. As much as I wanted another Ren SS, I'd rather my pals aren't missing anything, and I'll just load up on red ninjas. I have more money for them since I got the amazon 4 pack and decided to buy no retaliation figs except generic troops and ninjas.
And yeah, how is a store worse than Wal Mart? Do the employees physically attack you as you shop?

Walmarts in my areas are starting to replace the malls. (I live in NJ where there is a mall every 10 feet) The new Walmarts are nicer than Target. But yes I've been to several stores worse than the bad Walmarts. |
