At 4:30, there were 2 Cobra Vipers, 1 Scarlett, 1 Tunnel Rat, 1 Ripcord & 1 Storm Shadow (plus plenty of wave 2).
Didn't see any Crimson HISStanks (are those TRU exclusives?). Hopefully this means we'll start seeing wave 3 around here more soon!
And as a side note; I'm not trying to be critical of any particular person here, but while I understand the frustration for Michigan being way back on the supply chain, and for stores being unpredictable in their stocking patterns, the picture some members paint of what Joe hunting is like in other states isn't true based on my experiences. I live in MI for school, but go home to TX regularly and visit my girlfriend in Chicago all the time. I frequently hit up stores in those states throughout the year, and, yes, Houston & Chicago areas seem to get new waves a week to a month earlier than around MI, hunting there is just as frustrating and full of empty handed returns as around here... The same "full store on one side of town, empty store on the other" is common in other states, and I haven't found anything in TX or IL that I didn't eventually see in MI (except for the Ross stuff).
I sympathize with everybody here, I really do, but I hope it helps ease y'all's frustration to hear that other states are some Joe Utopia... Maybe from reading Sightings threads there are less "nada new" posts, but in my experiences, hunting Joes in MI, TX & IL, it's unpredictable, frustrating, and full of awesome surprises (like today!) everywhere.
Sorry for the rant, just wanted to share my experiences & give some perspective that will hopefully calm some of the (understandable) frustration.
son of a!!!!! i was going to go out hunting too, nice score man
