Yeah, if you guys are all out of them then I think I'm gonna do that. I never thought they would come and go so fast at retail. Gosh, since Joe vs. Cobra, I've been so used to Joes (or any toyline for that matter) staying on pegs long enough for you to revisit a store and grab them. All the way up to ROC it was that way. Sure exclusive store items could move faster (TRU ROC Firefly), but it wasn't like with the later waves of POC where stuff would absolutely vanish in the same day.

If I grab the case then all I'll need is the wave 5 Jungle BAT, Cobra Trooper, and Steel Brigade. if any of you guys have those on POC cards, then I'll gladly buy them.

I'd just like to complete my POC single-carded collection before 2012.

Anyone looking for troop builders? N.S. Walmart has 3 blue shirts, 2 Hazard Vipers and one each IG and Viper.? Looks like a revision case hit because there are around 3 eac Renegades Firefly and Snake Eyes.

I can grab them if anyone's looking.

I grabbed the case of POC wave 6 from BBTS, all I'll need now is the wave 5 Jungle BAT, Cobra Trooper, and Steel Brigade. If any of you guys have those on the POC cards up for sale, then I'll gladly buy them. Since they're troops, I *might* decide to buy more than 1.

My wave 4 preorder was just processed at BBTS. So which wave will be super rare. 3 or 4?

Snow Wolf · 12-08-2011, 04:22 PM

Wave 4...b/c wave 3 is already appearing in several retail outlets.

BEAM · 12-08-2011, 04:27 PM

I think Wave 3 because while it's hitting now, there might not be many restocks before Wave 4 shows up. Plus there are revision waves coming (at least according to BBTS):

GI Joe 2011 Series 02 Revision 04 - Case of 12 - GI Joe 2010 - 2012 GI Joe 3.75" Figures

GI Joe 2010 Series 02 Revision 04 - Case of 12 - GI Joe 2010 - 2012 GI Joe 3.75" Figures

I'm waiting until after X-Mas to have my Pile Of Loot shipped. I've got Wave 3, Wave 4 x 2, extra Renegade Cobra Trooper, VAMP II, a Star Wars comic pack ($2.00!), and a back ordered Gamorrean Guard. Maybe by that time the Dreaknok set I ordered will have come in.

Are some of you guys finding POC wave 5 hard to find? It was quite abundant up here...had to order wave 6 though b/c I couldn't find it anywhere.

Yeah, waves 4 & 5 only appeared at a local store chain called "Benny's"(with wave 5 being much harder to come across at those stores than wave 4), and wave 6 only briefly appeared at Target and apparently Wal-Mart.

I was doing just fine with POC waves 1-4 and half of wave 5, but then they just became so hard to find in stores.

I just grabbed all of wave 6 today off of BBTS, so all I need is the Jungle BAT, Cobra Trooper, and Steel Brigade from POC wave 5. Then I will have all the single-carded POC figures (unless Red Croc Master and Camo Blowtorch finally show up for sale somewhere).

PoC in RI/MA:

Wave 4 was found at Walmarts, Targets, TRUs, and some Newbury Comics.

Wave 5 was found at Walmarts and Benny's.

Wave 6 was found at Targets.
