My brother and I hit every Wal-Mart and Target between Seattle and Vancouver BC (along the I-5 corridor) last Saturday looking for Wave 3 comic packs and Wave 6, and there was nothing in the way of Joes. We hit the super cool Canadian toy store Toy Traders and they had everything through Wave 5, albeit with a slight mark-up. That store is a real treat for any Joe fans, BTW. If you've never been, plan a trip. Fred Meyer in Ballard has been my go to spot for the occaissional Joe score this year. They haven't stocked up often, but when they do they have all the best pieces. |

So if the wave 6 figures were sighted at Wal-mart, we should be getting them at Fred Meyer and Target in what... a month? There must be some law in effect that says that they can't build a Wal-mart within 20 miles of Seattle...

Normally no Wal-mart would be a good thing to me but it seems like they've been consistently getting the Joe product the fastest. I can't really complain though as I've somehow managed to find most everything that has come out since I started collecting. Now if I could only stumble upon Flint and Lady Jaye, as well as one of the Cobra 5 packs with the black Cobra Commander, I'd be set.

You may want to check your local Walmarts today. The Auburn and Puyallup Walmarts had their pegs full of Wave 5 and 6.

I looked at the Renton Walmart and while it was clear that they've had wave 6 in stock, their pegs were bare of singles - although they had a few wave 3 comic packs. I did have a pretty good score though - per another forum post I found the Cobra Legions 5 packs at Ross, along with a single Joe 5 pack. They're priced at about $12 each - not a bad price.

I reside on the Kitsap Penninsula and I haven't seen anything past the wave three comic packs and the Blade Destro wave and that was weeks ago. I took another un productive trip to Walmart this morning and...came up empty. Going to try a few other areas close by..hopefully I'll have a little better luck...I really don't want to pay ebay prices for Rock and Roll /Torpedo/ and BA CC
Update... Found Wave 6 at local Walmart (Port Orchard)...The stock worker has been off for three days and no one had placed anything..until today. I snagged a set plus an extra Lt. Torpedo...so it's been a better day than earlier. Later Maggots
