Saw some more wave 11 at Target in Altoona this evening. Picked up Airborne finally. Still looking for wave 12. Maybe I'll check wave Jay's tomorrow.

I picked up Wave 13 tonight at the Urbandale Super Target. They only had one of each figure in the set, so I couldn't grab any extras. Plenty of Pilot Scarletts and Cobra Disguise Flints and a few others from Wave 11, though. I'm hoping this is a sign that some of the other Targets in the area will start carrying the new stuff. Should be plenty to go around.

Still no sign of Wave 12...

I still haven't seen Wave 12 at retail ever. I usually find them in stores the day after I pay more online too.

I picked up all of wave 13 this morning at the VWM target. Great, I just ordered it from HTS on Sunday. Anyway still haven't seen wave 12.

So what does Jay's charge?

SGT. Mutt · 12-17-2008, 03:36 PM

Usually jay charges around 7 to 7.50 a fig. Vehicles are like 22.00, but wave 12 was 8.50 a fig for me when i found mine there... A little more pricey but obviously worth it seeing how noone can find it anywhere. Jays a good man, he will negotiate depending on how much you buy.

I would second that. I deal with Jay all the time and I've never walked away unsatisfied.

Jay's awesome. He made me a great deal on a Defiant last year. Plus, the store is like heaven for nerds.

Target by VWM has all of Wave 10 & 11 if anyone needs some fillers...picked up one EEL but left the other.

dubuque area, as of this past week:

walmart has tha second set of dvd packs, and tons of roadblocks, scarletts, and cobra commanders

kmart had firebat and sharc tooth, and some older comic packs

target had at least one rattler and a few conquests, very slim on figs tho

When i checked southridge target last night they had nothing of interest, and jays just had figs from wave 10 and previous. Walmart on the south side had a couple viper/ig comic packs and a armored cobra commander/gungho comic pack, but no recent figs... Still looking for wave 11 (- scarlett and cobra flint) i think im good on 12 i only picked up 2 divers and the ninja, but i dont really see much else of interest in that wave... Although if i get a chance i might pick up another ninja or two.... But right now i just want wave 11 (and lots of eels)... Oh and blowtorch!
