I might just start ordering my stuff online... You cant find anything around here... It's almost pathetic!

Thats what I started doing. I dont hit the Quad Cities up so much anymore so I never even saw wave 7 or 8 on pegs or the wave 4 CPs. I did find wave 9 though. I even ordered the vehicles from Smalljoes so I wouldnt need to worry about them.

BTW, I found new TFs. I picked up the Universe deluxes and saw the leader class Animated and some other Animated crap but I have no desire for them.

What's a good place to order online at a reasonable cost? I know BBTS jacks their prices up a few bucks on each figure plus the cost of shipping, but with gas prices what they are, it'd almost be worth it to order online as opposed to drive all over the city hopelessly looking for figures that might not ever appear on the pegs. Frustrating, to say the least. HasbroToyShop.com occasionally has the figures in stock, but it seems pretty rare. Plus, they're about a month behind the general release date in terms of their shipping estimates.

BBTS is probably the best place espcially if you order by the set or the case. Smalljoes is pretty reasonable on their sets but they dont stay in stock long enough. I ordered the vehicles off of there for 65 plus shipping compared to 60 plus tax and gas if I actually found them in a store. Brian's Toys has some deals like I got wave 4 CPs for 35 but they have the vehicles at 30 a peice which is way over-priced. The one good thing about BBTS and Brians Toys is that I usually get my packages the day after I order because neither is that far and the UPS travels fast and I dont even pay for next day shipping. Those are the 3 web sites I deal with the most

I've only used BBTS and Hasbro Toy Shop...BBTS is good but prices are higher for sure...I FINALLY received my wave 7 set via UPS today and I think it averaged out with shipping to be $7.40 per figure...which is still better than Target and driving all over DSM. Plus, if you live in IA with all the driving around you have to start asking "What is my time worth?"

[Outbackk]

I think I'm going to slow down after wave 9 and wave 2 vehicles...just buy a few choice figures and sets...due to prices

Thanks for the tips. I've ordered a few things from BBTS in the past, but nothing recently. I'll check out Brian's Toys for the comic packs. I've just about given up on those.

What is it with Target going up to $7.99 for the single figures? That's pretty outrageous.

No Kidding Considering Every Target I Hit Has An Extremely Low Supply Of Single Carded Figures. Kinda Defeats The Purpose Of Raising The Prices, If You Dont Have The Damn Figures On Hand...

Urbandale Target had 1 Viper fig and 3 or 4 old comic packs as of last night around 9pm...the sad thing is they took down the Joe sign and most of the pegs as well...guess they need more room for those WWE figs and sub-par Joe wannabe figs that are selling like hotcakes right now (please note the sarcasm)
