No set time really. The earlier the better I guess. I'm gonna head up in the morning. I think I've been to tru maybe once in the last month. Kinda nice not worrying about hunting for anything.

Believe it or not, I have G.I.Joe sightings to report in the G.I.Joe sightings forum.
Looks like Walgreens is the place to be, I stopped by one last night to pick up a drink and found a POC Jungle BAT and a POC Steel Brigade. I became curious and decided to take a detour and hit 2 more Walgreens and a CVS on my way home, and was very impressed with some interesting items that I found: Walgreens A: POC Jungle Bat X1 POC Steel Brigade X1 Walgreens B: POC General Hawk X1 POC Steel Brigade X1 TF Prime RID Vehicon (not 1st edition) X1 TF Prime RID Airachnid X1 Walgreens C: POC General Hawk X1 TF Prime RID Vehicon (not 1st edition) X1 CVS: POC General Hawk X2 POC Blowtorch X2 (CVS joes were $12.29 each) That's a total of 4 Hawks! I bought the lone Jungle BAT and both Vehicons. I'm now looking for more Jungle BATs, anyone find any that they want to sell/trade? I stashed a couple of those Hawks just in case anyone finds any Jungle BATs and wants to trade. Store locations will remain securely anonymous for anti-lurker purposes. The interesting part is that the date stamp on these POC figures is 10801, which means these were from the original batch made in early 2011 and have been sitting collecting dust in a warehouse somewhere while we all searched high and low for them and barely found a handful (some of us even shelling out big bucks for them on ebay). That totally explains why there was such a shortage of POC wave 5 early last year when they were "released" (mostly at Walmart). Also found it funny that these Joes were $9.99 each, $2 cheaper than last year's Walgreens $11.99 price for their 30th figures. This makes them the cheapest joes currently available at mainline retail! Who would have ever thought Walgreens Joes would ever be cheaper than TRU joes?

Good intel Air-tight. I might have to hit the local Walgreens/CVS and grab an extra Hawk for trade bait.

Not bad! Typically I wouldn't care too much about the lack of accessories, as BATs are perfectly convenient for heavy duty labor/hand-to-hand combat/vehicle driving, but it is a shame that the BATs don't come with their belt, the indentation and lack of belt looks a little disappointing. If I had some scrap BATs around, I'd just use their yellow belts but all of my BATs are suited up and ready for duty. Good to know that china as these available though!

If wave 6 starts showing up, then I may buy more. I think I'm all set on wave 5 now. Some of the Walgreens here aren't carrying Joes. It's the same way with CVS, too.

Didn't I hook you up on some of those Steel Brigades and Jungle BATS??
