lol, and I found the wave 4 comic copperhead/shipwreck at the target in Plymouth, that was all they had. so they are in pa now, if that helps.

Target in Monaca had two Shipwreck/Copperhead comic 2-packs. Target, TRU and Walmart all had a plethora of Python Troops, Vipers, Cobra Troopers and Cobra Commanders. TRU still had a few senior 3-packs, and even the original anniversary 5-packs.

i searched philly (target walmart tru and kmart) with sgt stinkpants and then exton (same stores) and we felt like the black guys combing the desert in space balls..." we ain't found shit!"

[crocmaster]

at least the stuff hit pa. nice scores in plymouth meeting! I'm having a serious trading/ hunting session with about 5-6 other guys on saturday the 28th of june. If anyone is interested or looking for something let me know. flash is in demand and lady jaye. but we only trade in person. also we'll be trading the original 3 3/4" figs and vehicles. exton area.

Anyone who doesn't mind going out past the airport (from Pittsburgh) to Monaca and is looking for troop builders, it's worth the trip. I was there last night - I hit TRU, Target and Walmart, and they all had a good bit of stuff that is usually gone. Of course, everywhere still has the first waves of comic packs, but the Target had two wave 4 Shipwreck/Copperhead packs hanging (the only wave 4 I've been able to find). TRU has senior officer 3 packs, troop builder 5-packs and the original commemorative 5-packs. All the places had a bunch of Python Troopers, Vipers, Cobra Troopers and Cobra Commanders, along with some Scarletts, Roadblocks, Air Troopers, Baroness, Jet Pack Duke and even a Winter Snake Eyes. Sorry, no Major Bludds, and no vehicles.

My daughter is flying in this Saturday, but as I'm still in school for the next two weeks, I'm going to drive her out to my parents in Cambria County to stay (I don't have anyone to watch her during the day), and I'm going to hit up the stores along the way in Indiana and Ebensburg, so I'll assess the situation there too.

Suncoast pictures in exton mall has a bunch of wave 7 for $9.99. I found them by accident. I will be doing some serious trading with crocmaster next week. If anyone needs anything, Im looking for wv 1 Flint, wv 5 Flash and the wv 4 twin packs.

I am from Pottsville....40 minutes north of you on I-81. There is another collector in Pottsville and we get together once in awhile...and a guy from Montrose, PA comes down. We are all part of the PA Joe Customs meet...and we catch up there when events are held.

An event is being planned for Fall of this year in Allentown PA if you are interested. Any and all info I gather on this meet...I will share on the board for ALL members. The meets are really great...and we got some great guys organizing different functions inside them. The meet we just had in Wilkes Barre a couple weeks ago...the one guy set up a trivia contest (with killer prizes)...just like the Hasbro's site GI Joe Jeopardy game...even down to a buzzer!!

It was hella fun...met up with some great collectors/customizers...shared techniques...talked shop...lots of trading...trivia contest...food.

I realize you are looking at a drive time up from Harrisburg...but we got guys who come from Delaware, Maryland, Jersey and New York just to meet up. Trust me...worth the trip.

anyone havening any luck with vehicles? anything at all? even an empty spot where they should be? anything?

[crocmaster]

nothing. so frustrating.
