Which Target Ice Viper? I am assuming SW side...sinec you said you looked at TRU and what you saw at Wal-Mart. I bought 2 Hiss drivers and WildBill atWal-Mart last night. Maybe I should have stopped at Target?

Sorry about that. Yeah, it was the Super Target on Edgewood. I stopped in at around 6:00 pm and was able to snag the last Hawk, Barbecue, Bazooka and Lt. Torpedo. The Wild Bill re-issue was there too, but I had him from the previous wave so I just left him there.

Hopefully this means wave 9 will start showing up everywhere else pretty soon. Hope this helps.

Cool - looks like we check the same side of town - our paths are bound to cross one day. I already have met SnakeEyes Joe at WalMart and YoHo Joe from Joe Battle Lines many times.

I look forward to it. I actually live in Iowa City but work at the Gazette, so those places are pretty much right along the way into/away from work every day. The funny part is I wasn't even going to check yesterday but decided to at the last minute.

I live in North Liberty, but go to church in CR...so I usually check CR WED and SUN.

Well guys, how's the hunt going? Anybody seen wave 9 at retail here in Des Moines? Not finding figs for weeks on end played a small part in my cessation of collecting. I'll keep looking to help you guys out.

Let the hunt begin!!

Just found all four Wave 2 vehicle packs at the 8th Street Wal Mart in Des Moines on Thursday night. Pulled my four right off the pallet. I think they were marked GI Joe 3 3/4 Vehicles Wave 1 08 or something. They had three cases (four vehicles sets each) at the store.

In case there are any Transformers collectors in Iowa, I should let you know I also picked up the three Transformers Universe Classics Series figures that just came out as well at that store (Sunstreaker, Prowl and Tankor).

And yet...no Wave 9 nor Wave 4 comic packs found.

Nothing on my end of town...I've been checking Targets, TRU and WM over the weekend.

I just saw what appeared to be the "leftovers" from a case of Wave 9 figures at the Mills Civic Parkway Target in Des Moines last night. They had a Wild Bill and Torpedo with the different logo on the top right corner (not 25th Anniversary). I think these two figures make up a case with the other six new ones, which apparently had already been snagged. Perhaps one of you lucky dogs got 'em?

[Outbackk]

not so lucky...saw those after I posted yesterday!
