UPDATE:

Got Tomax/Xamot @ the Shoreline Fred Meyer, they had just put them out (in a weird spot left of the other figures on a bottom peg, i almost missed them) they still had 2 of the rest plus 1 T/X.

also, action figures are still 20% off @ FM ~ Freddy's has been good to me, i got all of wave 5 + an xtra CG 2 weeks ago for buy 2 get 1 free and Wave 3 comic packs for for $8 a pop, woot. (and nice they didn't jack up the price of the comic packs like they do the singles)

Man, I hope the local scalper didn't go on a fever run yesterday. I want an Ace/Weasel pack.

FM is great because stuff seems to hit all at once, so when you guys get your stuff up in WA, we get loaded up in OR, too.

Thanks for the tip, artiepants.

no prob, i usually jump over to the oregon forum for a fred meyer sighting for just that reaso, but i spaced last night...

Score: I got my Ace/WW pack this morning. Thanks again, Artie.

Still nothing here in the Issaquah area. Has anybody seen anything new at Target lately? The Fred Meyer stores near me haven't had anything but a single case of the IG Destro wave (and that was about 3 weeks ago). This is getting frustrating... So sick of seeing Shipwreck and Hooded Cobra Commander warming the pegs...

[artiepants]

dude, that sucks. i thought FMs kinda always had everything out within a day or two of each other. I haven't even been in a Target in like 6 weeks, the Northgate and Lynnwood ones are pretty pointless, i think the Scalpers and "hardcore collectors" always clean 'em out in the morning.

Just started collecting the new Joes. I was able to find the new wave at Covington Walmart this morning. I picked up Cobra Commander. Rock N' Roll and Torpedo should still be there.

Still nothing here in the east side Seattle area. I'm hoping to have some luck in Redmond/Bellevue tomorrow. For some reason the Seattle Fred Meyer stores seem to get little to no stock and with no Walmarts, we're getting screwed. What the heck is with Target getting nothing? Why is Hasbro even doing exclusives with them when they're not stocking much of the current product? I know I've been getting on here and doing a lot of complaining, but you've got to have a place to vent, right?

Puyallup Freddies finally got some Wave 5 in, 2 cases, everyone's there. No sign of the comic packs.

Puyallup WalMart did have one case of the Wave 3 Comic packs, but they only had Ace/WW and CG/Scarface, which I bought.

Nothing at the Target or TRU in Puyallup or in Tacoma.

Finally found something! After weeks of fruitless searching I finally hit a jackpot of sorts today. I managed to find all of the wave 2 and wave 3 comic packs as well as most of the wave 5 figs (only needed/wanted a few of those). I found a couple of the wave 3 comic packs (Ace/WW & SE/SS) at the Redmond Fred Meyer. But the real jackpot was the Bellevue Toys R Us - they had all 4 wave 3 comic packs, as well as 1 each of the wave 2 packs. They also had the wave 5 figs. There are still multiples of each of the wave 3 packs at Toys R Us if anybody is looking.
