I wonder if the Westbury Walmart is going to have new stuff out tomorrow on the 14th. On the other posts they discuss the Walmart modular being done on 1/14/08. I want to hit the Valley Stream Walmart tomorrow morning when they open at 7AM. I get off of work at 6AM, but the snow might be a problem.

I hope so. That'd be nice to see. But Yeah, I was thinking about going to Valley Stream myself. I think I might call first though, if it's snowing bad.

Today is 1/14/08, the big day that I thought Walmart's toy modular would be done by, but I was wrong! After dodging a bullet by missing that snow storm, I decided to go on a little hunt after I got off of work at 6AM. I went to the Walmarts in Valley Stream, East Meadow, Uniondale, and Westbury, as well as the Targets in Levittown and Westbury.
The Walmarts basically had nothing. I found 1 Joe and 1 Cobra Legions 5-pack in the East Meadow Walmart still for $17. I found 1 Duke vs. Cobra Commander Comic pack at the Uniondale Walmart. At the Westbury Target I found the lonely Shipwreck that RedEyes mentioned earlier. I want a Shipwreck, but this one was the new one without the anchor on his belt. I want the original anchor one. At the Levittown Target they had 3 diaper crotch Stalkers, and 1 hooded Cobra Commander. I left them because I want a fixed crotch Stalker. They also had a few Wave 1 diaper crotch comic packs. I didn't want those either. On a good note I did pick up a Star Wars Darth Vader Mcquarrie Concept figure. I needed another one because the first one I got has card and bubble damage. They also had a UGH Mcquarrie Concept Boba Fett. I left that one because he had sticky goo on him. I should have got him though because I think he was a weird variation or error. The UGH figures with the gold lettering come with gold coins. This one had the regular silver coin. Anyways I hope you guys have better luck. Keep me informed if Walmart gets their act together.

Damn, let down again. Well, thanks for reporting man. NY seems to be few and far between for Joe's lately. I wonder if that "new" Shipwreck is the one packed in the Wave 5 case assortment.

I went from Rutland, VT to Albany, NY, and hit every Walmart, Target and TRU. TRU SUCKS, only a few comic packs. I found most of wave 5(i need a SNow Job for my 4 year old son, and a MOC CG figure for myself still) at the Target in Albany. scored some Comic Packs from wave 2 at the Walmart in Albany. found 2 troopers at the Target in Queensbury, and that is about it!

I was just at the Target in College Point and all they had was a few Wave 1 diaper crotch comic 2-packs and 1 hooded Cobra Commander.
I'm really getting tired of this game. My hunting skills are useless if there is nothing to be hunted. I hope I have better luck tomorrow. Walmart better finish this "modular" soon or else! |

Anyone have any idea of what figures are in the Buffolo area, if any?

Hey there fellow New Yorkers. I finally saw Wave 4 located in New York City limits. If you are still looking for them check out the Target in College Point. I only picked up a V1 Storm Shadow to keep carded. I'm still looking for figures from Waves 1,2,3 & 5 to open up. If anyone out there sees anything please post it here.
Also Toys R Us are stacked with 5-packs for $29.99. If anyone see's them finally discounted there please post that as well. |

Just wanted to let WNY people know there is hope. Went to Target today to the usual trip down the Joe aisle to my surprise 2 cases of Wave 5--after soiling myself I cleaned up and went to the register. Cashier attempted to scan and they were not even on file yet. I dont know if stock boy made mistake and put them out but the cashier had to put them in the system manually. NOTE: I did not buy them all left some for everybody else!!!
