I've been buying the 25th anniversary figures for about a month now, but I've not had a lot of luck finding a good variety of figures. Most of what I find is Gen. Hawk, Barbecue, and Wild Bill.
So, how do you find the new figures? Do you just go to several stores everyday or what? I'd appreciate any suggestions. |

Order online homes, you'll get what you want alot faster than looking for it and you will save cash in gas. Think of finding joes in the wild as a treat (like christmas, or annonomous sex) and just be happy when it happens...That or wait and wait and maybe still be forced to buy online...

Up until wave 9, I got everything at Wal-Mart, Target, and TRU, but wave 10 & 12 have been online and the way things look, wave 11 and others will be bought online too.

When I used to hunt I would hit 5-6 stores a day 3-4 times a week. Now I check here for updates and if I'm lucky I'll stumble on them. Patience is key....you'll find them eventually.

I check Wal-Mart, Target, TRU, Kohl's and a few others on a regular basis. I have never ordered anything online, but might have to break down and do so for wave 11 & 12

Yea, find the TN sightings thread and see what people find where. When they find something at WM at midnight, run to your nearest WM and check the pegs.

If you can't fight off the demons in your head that keep telling you someone else has something that you do not, then you can find them all at retail by just waiting. Look how readily available figures from the last few waves are now. Even BATS are hanging around long enough to be seen in the wild. If you give in to that demon you can just pre-order everything at BBTS and they will ship it to you the week it comes out. They are currently months ahead of retail.
