Also I want to find wave 9, mainly Hawks, Snow Serpents, and BATS cause I haven't seen any of these. Also I got a Firefly vs Green shirts pack at the toys r us in Attleboro Massachusetts.

MTN, you'll probably have to check off-the-beaten-path for any "leftover" Sigma figs since they're discontinued and not restocked anymore. I saw Sigma figs recently at Toys R Us (don't forget to check the overhead bins too) and Bennys stores. Other stores that *might* have leftover Sigma figs: Kmart, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, KB toys. Toy Vault at the mall had a loose sigma Toxic Zartan for cheap. Good luck.

Jimmy, the walmart in warwick (across from the junior high school) had zartan on the pegs for weeks, but I don't know if he's still there since I haven't been to that walmart in weeks. The upcoming swamp zartan fig will probably be better anyways.

I did manage to find a bat and serpent from the target at the mall last week. So right now I'm just looking for Nemesis comic pack. If anyone wants only Falcon from the comic pack and not the Nemesis fig, LMK maybe we can work something out cuz I only want the Nemesis fig.

Thanks for the info! Went there tonight and he was unfortunately gone. ARG! Picked up a Cobra Commander .... not good with versions, but it was the light blue one with the plated face and blue helmet.... version 1, I guess?

I live very close to that Walmart...stocked with lots of older stuff like wave 7/8 along with a few others. DVDs and wave 1 - 3 comic packs all up in your face, too. They're always behind though. I've gotten everything 1 - 2 months before they've had it. Honestly, I can't remember the last time I bought a Joe there. Though I do get eyeballed by the main toy guy there...I wonder if someone messed up the section once because I swear this guy is making sure I'm not doing something. And I know I'm not being paranoid, Lody here has had the same experience.

LOL that's pretty funny. The two guys last night were pretty cool. They had a bunch of newer stuff and I was looking for Wave 1-3 and I asked the guy. He said "come with me sir" and brought me to another aisle where they had a ton of older stuff (no Zartan, though.... arg!).

Jimmy, do you only collect single-carded and moc? Otherwise, there isn't really a need to hunt down those older single-carded figs.

- Firefly in the comic pack is just as good as the single-pack firefly, a lot of people like the comic pack version better cuz the darker colors more accurate to classic arah firefly.
- Zartan in upcoming wave 11 looks better than the old one, the new chest is more accurate to classic arah zartan.
- Major Bludd in upcoming pyramid of darkness dvd battlepack and extreme conditions battlepack look better than the existing Bludd, using the grand slam / hiss driver chest more accurate to classic arah bludd instead of the zartan chest.
- Upcoming "Hall of Heroes" will re-release all or most of the collector favorite figs.

Thanks for your help, mynamehere.

Yeah, I've only been interested in the single packs. I'm not sure what MOC means?

Your comments about the newer versions of the figures are interesting and I will look into the newer versions.

Also, what is "Hall of Heroes?"

MOC = mint on card

Hall of Heroes will be 10 single figures voted on by the fans seen here:

Now I wish I went there today. I had two choices either go to lincoln mall or emerald. At least I got a 100% complete Rip Cord figure at the Toy Vault.
