Found new HISS and VAMP at the Wal-Mart on 8th!!! Score one for Des Moines!!!

Last night after work I stopped by a couple of places in the DSM area and on a whim went to the 8th St Wal-mart. Picked up a wave 1 HISS and VAMP! Score one for Des Moines...maybe the rest will follow (given what seems to be a good three week delay in relation to the rest of the country).

I've also noticed that most places have the 12" Joes which are averaging about $15 (just in case anyone is interested...none for me thank you)

* sorry for the double post per above *

Nice! I picked my four vehicle sets up at that same Wal Mart on July 3, but I haven't seen them on the shelves yet. I grabbed mine right out of a box sitting on a pallet and they had two more boxes. I was wondering when they would finally put them on the shelves.

Makes me wonder if they have any boxes of Wave 9 just sitting in the back, waiting for all of the Buzzers to clear out before they get put on the pegs...

Iowa City - Cedar Rapids Tankers - has wave 9 been around yet? I have seen nothing new in weeks...my sons each still need some of wave 7 and 8 as well...

Let me know if you see anything, please!

DSM - all 3 wave 4 comic packs are at the SE 14th Wal-Mart...at least 1 Shippy/Copperhead, 2 Firefly/SS & 2 Duke/Red Star...

Sorry Slaymaker, I haven't seen any wave 9 since I found Bazooka, Hawk, Barbecue and Lt. Torpedo at Target on Edgewood in Cedar Rapids. I haven't even seen anything anywhere in Iowa City in almost a month (other than really old comic packs and some Cobra Commander peg warmers).

If you need some wave 7, though, the Wal-Mart near Westdale Mall had quite a few of each figure last time I was there.

Sweet!

ATTN DSM FOLK:

This may or may not be old news for some of you (I know it has been discussed in other threads) but I checked out Target across from Valley West Mall and they have moved the Joes to a different aisle...and from the looks of it, they are getting ready for the re-set. They don't have a lot out right now but they have it set up for 3 pegs dedicated to the 12" Joes...3 pegs for Comic Packs and 6 (that's right, 6) pegs for single carded Joes. They also have "battle pack" space set up for $19.94?" (I can't remember the exact figure) The point here is that they have dedicated A LOT of room for Joes!

So I think things are about ready to pick up here in the DSM area.

I just caught that "reset" today at the same Target during my lunch break. I checked the scanner to see if they had any single cards in the back, and it said they didn't.

Speaking of which, did you also happen to see the little disclaimer note posted in that area (I think in the Transformers section) saying something like, "our employees will not search the stockroom for items which are not on the shelves" and "we want all guests have an equal opportunity to get highly sought-after items". That's not ver batim, but it's basically telling all of us collectors that we have to wait just like everybody else. That includes those card-bending, snot-blowing, ankle-biting three year olds.

That sucks!
