LOL. Sorry, can't help you on that one. LOL.

But if you ever get to O'ahu... Waialae Ave. in Kaimuki is a pretty good place. You got Toys N' Joys (a little bit of everything), Collector Maniacs (lots of current G.I. Joes), Gecko Comics (all kinds of Comic related toys) and Mechahawaii (kind of hard to locate, probably got to ask one of the workers in the previous places, but it has lots of Joes and TONS of Transformers and no sales tax, lol) all within a two block walking radius.

Joes; poor guy, he ain't going to sell a single one I bet. LOL.

Purposefully stayed as far away from Mechahawaii as humanly possible because if I ever saw that Arctic Extreme Condition set again I know I would buy it. LOL. The plan is supposed to be that all I need is a Wave 1 Flint and a DVD Pack Lady Jaye and I'm done... until single pack Falcon comes out. LOL. I'm pretty sure they will be all gone soon though and I can go back to visiting Mechahawaii. LOL.

Man I can't believe they skipped wave 5 revision 3 and gave us this crap. *shakes head* They did have a Fang and Claw though, first time I saw that vehicle.

Went to Pearl City Walmart yesterday too (11/4). Yup, the dreaded wave 6 revision 3 with the wave 7 Snake Eyes and the rest showed up there too. *deep sigh*

Ala Moana Wal-mart didn't get any new Joes yet, but I am afraid they might get the same crap revision wave like the other two did.

Stopped by Ala Moana Wal-mart again today (11/6) and they got in A Fang and Claw and Desert Stryker, but no new singles yet. I bet they come in real soon though; it will probably be that dumb Wave 7 Snakes Eyes revision set though. ARGH! Wave 1 Flint where are youuuuuu!!!!!!!! LOL.

Just came from Toys R Us, and they are stock full of Joes, but it's all peg warmers. A bunch of COBRA COMMANDER and TRIPWIRE, IRON GRENADIER and DESTRO, NEMESIS IMMORTAL and LT. FALCON, comic packs. Some old Wave 1 vehicles. I checked those hoping to perhaps find revised Tiger Force Duke style arms, but alas, to no avail. Still lots of the Cobra and Joe SRO 3 packs. Have yet to see the new TRU 3 packs in the store.
They did have that F-22 plane that people have mentioned, and it's just $25, which is an amazing deal considering that it's less than the price of 3 figures at TRU.

LOL. Before I never looked twice at the G.I Joe Jeep or Motorcycle, but now I find myself checking each one for the corrected arms. LOL. And I'm not going to buy any of them either... I just want to see it with my own eyes. LOL.

*ahem*

Collector Maniacs in Kaimuki is having their 11th anniversary sale (11/8 - 11/16) in which all their figures are 10% off. They have lots of B.A.T.s for ten bucks each and all the Iron Grenadiers (w/ Destro) Comic Packs were reduced to 9 dollars flat. Now would be a good time to Troop Build methinks. LOL.

Apparently Kay-Bee in Kahala Mall sells G.I. Joes too because my older brother bought his son a Snow Serpent from there because his son saw me playing with all my Joes and wanted some of his own (so proud, lol).

I cannot wait until Target opens up in March... $4.99 G.I. Joes... So Jealous. LOL.

Went to TRU today (11/12) and they put out a single case of Wave 5 Revision 4 which included Armored CC, Jet Pack Duke, Snow Job, Black Commando Snake Eyes and Snake Eyes w/ Timber, but I left them hanging.

I am pretty confident now that the next wave they will get a couple of weeks from now will be Wave 5 Revision 5 with the Wave 1 Flint because they are the only place releasing the Revision cases in order. Of course with my luck they will probably skip that one like Wal-mart is doing.

[MeLikeJinx]

Collector Maniacs got in a couple of cases of Wave 12 probably yesterday (11/12); they always get their stuff in on Wednesday. The 10% off is still in effect, but Wave 11 is now $10.49 each.

Only had one Python Patrol Crimson Guard left, but there were TONS of Cobra Divers. Man, but bonus wave or not; IMO this has to be the worse wave ever.

Stopped by Toys R Us and found they had a typically lame selection of Python Patrol Officers, Wild Bill, Tiger Force Flint, and Spirit Iron Knife. At least these peg warmers were reduced back down to $7.99, they used to be almost $10. They did have a few of their exclusive 5 packs, but nothing new.

Was pleasantly surprised to find Pearl City Walmart had a better selection. They had 2 firebats, 2 Hiss Tanks, and a FANG/CLAW pack, each selling for $18.35. Pyramid of Darkness DVD packs were $22.96, and single carded figures were $7.87, while Comic Packs were $11.38. They had a wide selection of Comic Packs, but mostly all old stuff. It was cool to see the FANG/CLAW on the shelf, though I already got mine from HTS.

This walmart also had a good selection of Star Wars and Transformers toys. I ended up buying a Star Wars Grand Admiral Thrawn/ Talon Karde Comic pack which I had been eagerly awaiting to find in stores.

I noticed that all the new G.I. Joe stuff seems to be put out either Tuesday or Wednesday morning at TRU and they do not last the day. Last Wednesday I went when they opened and they had some Snake-Eyes w/Timber, Black Commando Snake Eyes, Battle Armor CC and the rest. Went back the next day and all that was left from the revision batch was the Jet Pack Dukes, TF FLints and Spirits. There are always the same two guys that are always there when TRU first opens and they seem to do a toy run in all the rows picking up the new stuff (including G.I Joe).

I went to TRU this morning (11/18) and they had rows upon rows of G.I. Joe... *drum roll* ...Combat Heroes. LOL. The poor single card section was reduced to two almost empty peg rows in the upper right hand corner.

Yah, that Wal-mart seems to get everything first for some reason. I didn't know they already had Pyramid of Darkness stuff though.

Yah, Ala Moana Wal-mart got the new Star Wars Comic packs on Saturday (11/15). They had the one with the White Darth Vadar, the twins with the clear lightsaber and red armor and the one with Darth Talon.

I remember a while ago Pearl City Wal-mart got the newest Star Wars single card wave; the one that comes with Ahsoka Tano. There were tons of her too and I couldn't make up my mind to buy it or save my money for Joes. I thought she would be a pegwarmer so I waited. I went back the next day and she was all gone. I never saw her in any other store again. LOL.

I was completely surprised to find Wave 6 and 7 comic packs at the Walmart by Ala Moana just now. I haven't even seen many people posting that they have these on the mainland yet! I bought one of each that they had, now only missing the Scrap Iron/Wild Bill comic pack since for some reason it was not on the shelves. They had multiples of most though. Another weird thing, when I went to the register the Iron Grenadier / Viper pack was only 9.88, most others were 11.38. That's like mainland prices too! Bonus! I should have gone back and got more....
