Iowa G.I. Joe Sightings

ok.. looks like I am not done.

Neither of the planes I bought at the Cedar Rapids Target had the stickers or instructions in them. I opened the tiger rat and tor e the box and everything with it looking for them. Ok, I thought, perhaps they got missed at the factory, so I emailed Hasbro to see if I can get a set. I was pretty irritated since that has never happened to me before, so I waited until today to do the Conquest. I very carefully opened the box, and no stickers either.
Now, either I have extremely bad luck, or some asshole bought them for the stickers and returned them.
Has anybody in Cedar Rapids run into or been burned things like that? do you have figure swappers and Doc Sticker stealers in that area that do this kind of thing?
Or did I just hit a bad batch?

Since I'm bad with the areas of Des Moines, bear with me in this description. The Target off of Mills Civic (right by I35, one of the ones you could take to get to Jordan Creek), has:

MU Bullseye
Cobra Trooper (black mask, red sigil on a red mask card)
Then the usual stuff like GB DVD packs, HISS tanks, etc.

The TRU by Valley West mall has:
AWE Striker
FANG/CLAW pack
almost no singles
1x XMO Wolverine/Sabertooth exclusive pack (I got the second)

Nothing too crazy around here...plenty of the same still on the shelves.

I did find two BnB Sgt. Slaughters at the TRU in Clive. The heads are perfect for your own Slaughter custom!

Yeah, stuff in Ames is pretty much same ol' same ol'

Haven't been finding anything lately, its like the pegs are drying up and the stores aren't restocking :(

There's lots of Wave 3 Marvel Universe in the DSM, including Ames and Ankeny, Targets. Jack for GI Joe though....

Anybody know when the new vehicle sets and the 7-packs (Attack on Cobra Island, etc) are due out? Will the 7-packs be available in stores or are those online-only?
