Whoa. I just came back for Pearl City Walmart (Sunday, 8/8, 10:00 am) and though the Joe pegs were bare as I was walking away I saw one of those movable pallets with a bunch of boxes on them in the kiddie toys aisle. I look closely and they are all Joe boxes! LOL. 3 boxes of Wave 1 Singles (with the HUB extension which means they are probably POC), 3 boxes of Alpha vehicles and 3 boxes of Bravo vehicles. It was so cool... like seeing the eggs before they hatch at Jurassic Park. LOL.
That should mean if you go later on today they should be out... I mean how long does it take to go from the pallets to the pegs? Plus, it is usually the case that if one Walmart has stuff all them has stuff. Looks like POC is about to hit Walmart here. |

1.) Toys n’ Joys: mostly anime and video game stuff; but also has lots of transformers stuff, airsoft guns, and oddly… they have a MOC Crimson Twins CP shelf warming for $13 near the very front hidden behind a Black Spidey figure. LOL. 2.) Collectors Maniacs: typical comic book shop; has LOTS of MU stuff at insane marked up prices (real popular figs at $20), they are pretty much picked clean right now though. However, if you go there then go on a Wednesday… if they get stuff they ALWAYS get stuff on a Wednesday… might get lucky and see Wave 10 there this week because they always gets their Hasbro stuff early. They also had a SDCC Cap there for $25 last time I went (Saturday). 3.) Gecko Comics: typical comic book shop; not too much stuff… LOTS of Marvel Select stuff though and leftovers of various toy lines. 4.) Mechahawaii (keep walking up the street pass the yoga clothes shop on the left until you see the watch/clock repair shop on the right then go inside the small alcove): anime/toy shop that opens at 12:00 pm; a bunch of loose Transformers and Joes for sale. Last time I went (Saturday) they had an entire wave of POC for marked up prices, a couple of War Machines… some loose Joes like Shockblast/Destro for $10 or Torpedo for $8… most of the popular stuff are gone already though. If you visit all 4 stores and come away with absolutely nothing you want... then congratulations... you have just waked the path of MeLikeJinx. LOL. Here's a pic: *pic deleted by me*

Thanks for the tips y'all! I'll be trying to get to the toy stores this weekend sometime. I'm working through Friday, but from 12-9, so I've been trying to get out somewhat in the morning. Tomorrow think I'm going to hang on the beach for awhile, and Thursday probably hike up Diamond Head.

I just did the Kaimuki toy run today (8/11) and they had nothing new; probably better off doing something else; plus found out Mechahawaii will be closed FRI-SUN this week. LOL.
*ahem* Okay peoples... this AV, FF, CC hoarding/scalping thing is real. I went to both Collectors Maniacs and Mechahawaii today (8/11) and all the AV, FF, CC are gone; and that's even at 12$ a pop too. Then I went to Ala Moana Walmart after (8/11) and judging from all the Snow Jobs (who is also 1 per case) they must have put out 15 cases and guess what? By the looks of all the Dukes, BH, SE, and SS that are also still there... the only ones that sold were all the AV, FF, CC. Can you just imagine it if one guy bought all 15 AVs and FFs; totally possible. That's it... no more Mr. Nice Guy... this means war!!! (< I have no idea what that means btw, lol) Oh, and Mechahawaii had 1 each of the Joe and Cobra Resolute sets at $48 a piece. I would have bought the Joe one, but Beachhead had like only one eye because his paint apps were so messed up... so sad; really wanted that set. They also had a single SW Dark Trooper for $12... first time I ever saw that guy.

Jackpot!!!! I got lucky today at WM Ala Moana. I just happen to stop by before I headed to the BIH show. When I got to the "Joe aisle" it was full of POC figs. The guy just put out more stock I guess. Every wave 1 figure was there. Either in singles or more. Of course I took advantage of this and bought singles of Wave 1. I really dig the AV. I could use another. FF was a miss for me. CC is Hmmm. Beachhead is a total win for me. Another SE...dang. The rest are cool too. I guess all this waiting and holding out on the hunt paid off. And at $6.97....win/win. Now I just need to get this lucky when I go to TRU in search of QK and Spirit.
MeLikeJinx- I may need to head over to this Mechahawaii you keep speaking of and pick up that set of Joe resolute for $48. That isn't a bad price. |

Yah, but he only had one of each and Beachhead's eyes were really messed up.

I saw him twice a while back at Animation Addict at Ala Moana and Suncoast at Pearlridge; my toy funds were running on fumes then though so I couldn't buy him. LOL.

@MeLikeJinx
1) I went around 1:30ish. I stopped by Ross first...Nada!!! I was just surprised to see a boat load of POC on pegs. It was just a bunch of BH, SS, SE, Duke, SJ at first glance on the pegs. And on the shelf was a bunch of figs to. I grabbed BH first, then I started going through the pegs and found AV tucked in the back of the bottom right peg behind ROC Covergirl. I found CC and FF stashed on the bottom shelf behind the Hiss tank. I'm glad I actually knelt down to check out the Hiss tank instead of just bending over and picking it up. So I just want to apologize to the person now who was stashing them....sorry, I just had to. 2) LOL.....I was until today. 3) I absolutely dig this figure. I need a Steel Crusher for this AV. AV sticking out the top would look BADA**. 4) This is wear my ZEN patience comes into play......hummmmmm. 5) Can it be fixed with some paint? If not, I'll just pop the head off and use the BH unmasked head from the CP. How was the cobra set....I dig those Destro and Baroness figs. |
