Bucky - where abouts are you? SEJN - you are in CR right? I know Outbackk is in Des Moines Area. I am between CR and IC so I check south side of CR and Coralville regularly...

I heard from Roshan (quad cities) that Wally over there has joes but just peg warmers now...

I am in cedar falls. I keep an eye on cedar falls, waterloo, waverly, and independence.

no shit anywhere.

I haven't found anything at retail yet but I do have a couple extra wave 5 Hawks, Blowtorch and CC. If you want em PM me.

Man, once this stuff starts hitting retail we should have a get together in Des Moines. I think it'd be cool to meet up with other IA Joe collectors.

Totally. I hate the stores here. Thankfully, there's BBTS and the like, otherwise I'd have never seen anything after wave 3.

Found a wave 4 revision case at the CF WM. I had them all already so I didn't buy any, but it was great to see them there. I did find Wheeljack and Thundercracker, so I was happy with those.

thanks for the tip waxy. picked up a shock trooper and a snake eyes. still on the hunt for a shadow tracker and a lowlight, and pretty much everything that follows after that! seeing them on the shelf is a good sign. the last time I saw a shock trooper on the shelf was a month before the snow hit the ground last fall, so it's been a loooonnngg time.

Wow - Joes at a Walmart in Iowa!!!!

Here's hoping a wally near me stocks them too.

yesterday I found the trooper/hawk wave at the wal mart in CR.
I bought a hawk, and a steel brigade, 1 trooper and the cobra commander. I left the rest. there were probably 2 cases worth.

Alright, hopefully this is the start of something at the local WMs. Trouble is, I'll have to add them to my hunt again. Blech.

Now I kinda wish I'd have stopped at all those WMs I drove by coming back from Fond du Lac this weekend.
