I have to say I am considering not collecting this new Joe line (PoC). I have been to every TRU, Target & Walmart in RI and SE Mass over the past 3 weeks and the only PoC figs I have seen on pegs are Duke, SE and SS. It's looking like this line is going to be like DCUC in that it's going to be hard to find anything, and I sold off my entire DCUC collection because of that exact reason. It's quite aggravating to hear ppl go into stores and say they found some but picked the pegs clean. Collecting shouldn't be aggravating but fun. But when you have a situation like this, it can get to the point that it pisses you off!

I have resorted to buying complete waves online rather than face this issue. Plus the time I can dedicate to hunting is much less than it used to be.
I do feel confident those HTF figures will start popping up eventually. Whenever wave is released, ppl are swarming the stores for anything they can find. Once the majority of people have these figures, they will not be sought after and they should start showing up on pegs. Not in great quantities but they should be around more then now. BTW, RI Mall Walmart had zero Joes on the pegs. TRU had the ususal ... SS, SE, and Duke. Still tons of Hiss Tanks and Wolf Hounds. |

Yea, I was at the RI Mall Walmart today buying some household items and noticed that their reset was done, but didn't include Joes. Oh well. Thanks RoC! It's the 2nd Walmart I've been to that doesn't have a spot for Joes anymore.
I checked the one on Post Rd. on the way home and it appeared they put more figures out as there were about 6 Dukes, SS, and SEs. No FF, AV, or CC. They had some Snow Jobs and a few Beachheads. They still had both Alphas and Bravos. |

Okay so walmart fall river made me eat my words lol. I'm here as I'm writing and they have the complete wave minus alley viper. Picked up 2 CC in the hopes I can trade him for an alley viper. They also have DCUC blue beetle, cyclotron, negative man, blue devil, the 2 packs with batman and robin.

There are 2 AVs at Walmart Seekonk as of 10:30 AM. No PoC at Kmart in Cranston; only RoC. They do have newer WWE figures and new TF/SW.

Just garbbed the only 2 AV's at Walmart in Seekonk. Someone thought they were being slick hiding them behind the mole pods. They also have 4 CC's and 4 pegs full of the rest if the wave including 4 FF's as of the time of this post.

I didn't hide them there. I put them there because the pegs were jammed up. I was going to hide them and PM you with where I put them, but there were too many workers around and one was eyeballing me. I bought 1 AV, some soap, and a card and left.

I'm assuming you mean the WWE Elite figs as they are the only ones worth buying. Mattel has outdone Jakks leaps and bounds with that line.

They had Elite figures, but they had a Jericho / Ricky the Dragon 2-pack I hadn't seen before as well.
Oh yea, Walmart in Seekonk had the new voyager Prime and Banzai (1 of each). The Kmart had 3 Mindwipes and 3 of the Optimus that comes in the same case. I forget the name of it, but it's the same mold as the first movie one. |

LOL I can always count on you Fast Draw! Were you there today or yesterday? There were 2 workers stocking the pegs when I was there. I think I was pissing the female worker off because I was going through all the pegs seeing if there was a CC variant and she was just standing behind me and I heard her do one of those deep breaths like she was aggravated lol. Anyways, it looks really nice in there...def a big upgrade from what it used to look like.
