If you work in Torrance, you can check out The Comic Bug in Manhattan Beach. They have carried the Classified Figures and they can order them for you also. The charge a bit more than target. I think maybe $22.99? I got my Cobra Commander and Snake Eyes there. Other than that I've seen a few figures at Blackstar Collectibles at the Southbay Galleria... the price I think is $20 to 23 bucks.

Oh cool. Thanks for the tip.

Another person and I emptied the pegs at Burbank Walmart.
There’s nothing like watching the sun rise in front of Walmart waiting for them to open. Just so I can get some 4” Joes before a scalper throws them up on eBay.

What's the concensus on buying the Classified series from Target? it seems that everytime i see a figure available for pick-up, it can't be added to cart? Should i just wait till it's available for shipping before I even try to go into the store?

2 Vipers are available in the Anaheim Target, but can't add to cart.

I never expect to find anything at that WM because of my friend Jinx, but sometimes one can luck out.

Man, pickings are slim in OC. I could use CC, LJ, and Duke. Or just about anything since so far I have only found Scarlett.

Well, with the two toy stores, Rockets and the La Mesa one, it's a bet most of the Target and Wal Mart exclusives are getting scooped up.
