nope, got them all. I think I'm gonna break down and purchase the Death Star set, as the prices fall.

Nice- it looks like a great set, especially for the SW completist like yourself!

Techno-Vipers FTW! Wave 4 will hit online very shortly, too. SJ posted on their Facebook "GI JOE 30th Anniv wave 4 figure sets and case now available for pre-order, these are actually already in stock with Hasbro and shipping A.S.A.P. so get your pre-orders in. Wave 3 sold out in a few days."

I'll find them at retail..... Me and Air-Tight always do!...lol

No doubt...especially when other stores besides Walmart start getting them. Still...I rather like not having to drive all over creation and deal with tons of people Christmas shopping. If I find some at retail, then it will be a bonus and I'll help others out. Otherwise, there's enough going on this time of year...not hunting for Joes is one less thing for me to do.

Exactly- like I said, I've always been able to get everything that I need at local retail for the past 4+ years (sometimes with substantial effort of course), and I'm not about to switch over to $9.99-$12.99 figures from some of the hyped up online sites now. Power to those who do though, I buy and sell on ebay regularly so I know the drill and sometimes you need to get certain things offline. If it saves people time and gas in the long run, good for them- but I live for the hunt!

I remember almost a year ago now, December 26th to be exact (my mom's birthday), we had a big snowstorm here and I had read the night before that POC wave 3 with the coveted shock troopers had been spotted at local Targets. I braved the storm the next day- the ride was rough, but when I got to the almost completely empty Target, there was a full endcap box of wave 3 just waiting for me. On te way home, the snow got heavier and I made it back just in time before it became unbearable and I think MA declared a state of emergency. Fond joe memories!

[Fesifisky]

I remember that Air-tight, I did the same thing. Was so psyched to see those shock troopers in person. Still love em.

As an aside, anyone who has opened their Crimson Hiss tank...did you get 2 backpacks and 4 mines too? Seemed a bit odd. Neat, but odd.

Wave 3 has hit boys. I found some in the North Smithfield WlaMart this morning. I grabbed 2 Techno Vipers, 2 Renegades Cobra Troopers, and a Ripcord. I left the one Tunnel Rat. No Scarlet or Storm Shadow.

Yup. I remember finding some Shock Troopers on Christmas Eve actually. I'm not going to kill myself for Joes though.
