Did Firefly ever hit stores in SW PA? I know Viper did which I didn't get to any stores in time to get one

I was at the Hanover PA Target Monday morning, they showed one Firefly that appeared overnight on pop. So I thought ok, I’ll run over since it was close. Got there around 9:00, it was still showing on pop and on website, so I started to get excited. Went in, went to figure aisle, and didn’t see anything, so I asked a guy who was restocking the shelves, gave him the dcpi number, and asked if they had the one. He went back, came out a few minutes later with a whole case of six, I was like WTH. So he gave me the one I asked for, and put the rest on the peg. I asked him if I could buy some for other collectors and he said sure, so I called two friends who are also looking for Firefly. They both said to get them one so I did. Left two there for other collectors, checked pop a couple hours after I left and they still showed one.
Anyways long story short, my two friends were in line up at Target in Mechanicsburg as they were showing six. They got one each in Mechanicsburg that morning. I now have three extra Firefly, so I posted a trade ad in the forum.
There were supposedly 6 vipers in Carlisle Monday morning also.

A friend collector just called and said there were four Firefly on the endcap at the target on Lititz Pike, in Lititz a few minutes ago. It’s 9:30 now Jan 14th. He was one of the guys who already has one so all four are still there. He only called me, to tell me the story since pop and the website are showing zero for that store. Kinda what happened to me in Hanover Monday.
Hope one of you locals who needs firefly can get it. Happy collecting.

Anyone have any luck with Vipers in the Pittsburgh area? I need to start networking with local Joe collectors.....

I am late to the game but actively searching for Classifieds. I am in South Western PA - near the Pittsburgh Airport. I have yet to see anything in stores. Pretty disappointing. Nothing on Popfidr either. WTF. I have pre-orders in for Duke, Snake Eyes, and Cobra Infantry. I am hoping to find Zartan, Beachhead, Flint in the wild. Anyone in the area have any updates or seen anything?

You will not find beachhead in a store. Buy one as cheap as you can and be done with it. Order zartan and flint don't bother with stores.

Hey, I'm in Robinson!

The only Classified I've seen in a store was one CI Roadblock at the North Fayette Target and Wave One at the Kirwan Heights Walmart (and that was only because I was there when they opened the case). I don't collect Classified, so if I see any I will pick it up for you and other guys on the Tank. I'm sick on scalpers getting everything!

Hit three Walmarts today looking for Retro wave 3:
Fox Chapel - nothing, not even a sticker/peg/space for them
Pgh Mills - empty pegs
Gibsonia - three SEs and six HISS Tanks
Very disappointing hunt.

Haven't seen any, but like I told jgasbo1, I'm happy to pick any I do see up for fellow collectors. I am so sick of scalpers!

Thanks for the messages Un_Chakal and Old Snake!! Thank goodness for Pre-Orders and online shopping. It seems like such a crazy concept to find these toys in actual stores.
