Hello all,I just had to share my find today at my local Target and walmart. Anywho,I live in Pensacola Florida and there is a Walmart supercenter with a Target RIGHT NEXT DOOR,and I check these stores almost daily for their seemingly random shipments of 25th joes. I had hit both of these stores the night before and between the both they had some peg warming Lady Jayes and stalkers. So today I hit Target's aisle fist (being a former employee) and see to my amazement,a Dredknok sp? Comic pack along with yes....two CG's and what's this???? A shark tattoo'ed Shipwreck? WTH,VHTF?!?!? OMG!11! I yelled in the middle of the aisle,and startled a young boy next to me. Thrilled by this find I quickly bought all of these awesome finds. I then moved on to the Walmart. There is usually nothing there but unwanted Serpentors but to my astonishment I see,YES,A SNOWJOB! And what's this behind him? A SGT. FLASH? ZOMG. I about had a heart attack. I bought these figures as well with 1.34 left in my pocket so here I am now,incredibly stoked,but broke.

Lucky finds and congrats!! Nothing quite like the elation of finding Joes on pegs rather than having to resort to eBay or just plain old sulking, eh?

Hmm... I remember buying the shark tattoo Shipwreck on ebay for four bucks and thinking that the seller was gonna kick himself someday.
Nice job scaring the kid next to you at Target... Heh. |

Oh, the great find feeling is something you can only get in this hobby. Which is what I love most about it, and second only to opening the toy.
I still remember being the first to find 2 complete cases of Wave 5 hanging on pegs at my Wal-Mart. |

It's good to hear some Targets are FINALLY getting in Wave 5. My two Targets are stocked up on Wave 2 and Wave 3 single-carded figures.

I found 2 Shark shipwrecks and was devastated they were not the anchor as the variant hounds lead me to believe the good ones.
Well, I kept them both and then finally found an anchor one. Who knew the shark one is the good one. |
