I ran into the local Hasbro rep at the 8th Street Wal Mart during lunch today while she was stocking some toys (no GI Joes, unfortunately). I asked her when she thought they'd be getting the Wave 4 comics and Wave 9 figures. She called her contact at Hasbro, who told her they wouldn't be actively stocking anything until 2009 when the movie comes out. I'm thinking this has to be wrong, because we all know there is at least one more wave of figures, vehicles and comic packs before 2008 is over. I'm going to chalk this up to "the rep doesn't know what she's talking about" and hope somebody gets something in soon.

Thought I'd pass along that bit of info, though.

Wouldn't surprise me if it is the truth.

UPDATE: Target still disappoints...

Target across from Valley West Mall seems to have some Joe shrinkage as well...1 wave 8 CC and a handful of wave 1 comic packs...only 3 pegs to display thanks to Indy.

Wal-Mart off of 8th has a whole bunch of comic packs...just not the ones everyone is looking for Wave 4...they have a handful of Wave 7 SE and Vipers

Wal-Mart in West DSM was actually closed today due to some sort of power failure/electrical fire. Should be open again tomorrow.

Target off of Mills Civic: some old comic packs and some Wave 7 figs...Wild Bill for sure.

That's all I got for today.

Might have to start putting out requests to the rest of the state!

I did find the new release of 12" Joes (Dusty, Flint, Cobra Trooper & Bazooka) at the West Des Moines Wal-mart...$14.74 for anyone who is interested.

I picked up three of the six new figures in Wave 9 Saturday night at the Merle Hay Mall Target. Grabbed Barbeque, Ninja-Ku and Bazooka. I checked a few other Target stores in the area, but didn't find the other three on the pegs or in the stockroom.

I found all three Wave 4 comic packs (FINALLY) at the Merle Hay Target as well. I took one of each and left at least two of each on the pegs.

FYI.
