I found at Seigen lane Target an entire wave 5 with an extra Crimson Guard to boot. The wave 5 there wasn't even in the system and I had to go get the price for another figure for them to ring it. The wave 5 are in Baton Rouge now but they are rare and hard to find at this point.

Wave 1, 2 ,3 figures are everywhere around here but limited to a select few of them. The hooded cobra commander, buzzer serpentor, shipwreck, storm shadow, red ninja and of course the cobra trooper. I bought out pretty much all the legions packs in the area when they went on sale. Wave 4 I found one and left it sit at a Wal Mart last week it was a Snake Eyes. That is the only wave 4 figure I have saw in town.

Both Targets in Baton Rouge are carrying the whole assortment of wave 1 comic packs. No wave 2 comic packs yet. The only comic pack I really wanted was the Hawk/Scarlett and mainly that was for Hawk.

The two Wal Marts carrying figures are Cortana and O'Neal outside of that I haven't seen any at the others for 25th anniversary. Toys R US has been horrid at best they really don't have anything. Toys R US looks to have quit carrying the carded singles all together. I did get three older viper pits so now I have 18 vipers.

Sigma Six I don't collect but noticed at the Seigen lane Walmart a discounted Toxic Zartan and Crime Boss Destro. All in all it's a free for all in Baton Rouge. At any given moment in time you may find an entire wave or go weeks and maybe even months before getting a new figure. I guess that is why I now have 5 cobra officers and 30+ cobra troopers. Some of course are air and stinger drivers. I also have now got 10 red ninjas and stopped the madness at that point. So I have a nice army started.

Nice to see another Baton Rouge guy! Man, you were lucky to run into the wave 5's, I have only found one CG near New Orleans. The Wal-Mart near Cortana had wave 1 and 2 comic packs as of early last week, though they may no longer be in stock. . .

[jeremywatts]

Just went and checked Cortana and they are blowing up the entire toy section. I only found 3 pegs for Gi Joe. I'm sure they are going to be reworking and restocking for awhile. Toys R US also have almost nothing again. I have checked O'Neal, Seigen and Cortana Wal Marts today and both Targets + the Toy R US. Guess I'll have to wait and find the comic two packs wave 2

[jeremywatts]

Seigen Walmart now has the wave 2 of comic 2 packs. I've been going there the last three days checking and finally I got wave 2 comics. Yeah they had two more sets so if you are in Baton Rouge better run in the rain and grab them. Now I need to find some more Crimson Guards and maybe next month wave 6.

[jeremywatts]

Found Wave 4 of Gi Joe at Seigen Target this morning. What was funny was again they didn't have them in the system so they wouldn't ring. The cashier said they were $3.99 each and rang them up that way. So I got 8 figures for $32. They are supposed to be $5.99 each but I wasn't going to argue. Now I have Waves 1 - 5 all the 5 packs and Comic Packs Wave 1 and 2. Wow Baton Rouge is heating up. Just got to keep an eye out.

[jeremywatts]

Just got Wave 3 Comic packs at Cortana there was one set only and I saw what I believe was a scalper looking through the Transformers. When I grabbed the wave 3 comic 2 packs he rushed over and started digging through the rest to see if there was no more. Sorry to dissapoint him but there wasn't. Now if I could find wave 2 2008 I would be all set. I have got every 25th anniversary figure so far in Baton Rouge.

Good stuff man, nice to see someone get one over on a scalper, was he very shifty looking?

[jeremywatts]

Not really shifty just as ordinary guy. But I've seen scalpers before and you can tell the look in there eye is one of greed. LOL No scalpers are noticeable because they are always picking up triples of transformers and joes which are not troop builders. For instance one time I saw a scalper picking up a bunch of Gi Joe peg warmers all of them were the exact same 6 buzzers. What are you going to do with 6 Buzzers?
