I drove all over the South East Metro area today shopping for Star Wars figures and new GI Joe comic packs.
Here's the stores that had jack s__t today, so don't waste your time: Parker Wal Mart Highlands Ranch Wal Mart Southlands Wal Mart Arapahoe/Lima Wal Mart Parker/Chambers Wal Mart Havana (aka Hampden) Wal Mart Nasty Aurora Wal Mart Parker Target Lone Tree Target Highlands Ranch Target Southlands Target Havana Target Alameda/225 Target Aurora TRU Highlands Ranch TRU Here's the stores that had new stuff: ZERO So, the moral of the story is, "F__K THE HUNT." I believe this is the first time in over 10 years of toy collecting I have dedicated an entire day to searching for figures that are supposedly out and come up dry. Oh well, hopefully something will pop up in a couple weeks. |

I picked up the Tomax/ Xamot comic pack yesterday at the Southlands Walmart. That was around 3pm and it was the only one they had. I'm lucky I found that. As usual, I was just out doing some grocery shopping.
And yeah, I said eff the hunt a long time ago. My days of hitting two, three, four or more stores are long over with. I have yet to find wave 4 or 5 or any of the other comic packs besides wave one. I simply refuse to waste my time hunting anymore. If stores don't want to stock enough of these things to make it as easy as picking up groceries, then I guess they don't want my money. Hope you other fellas have good luck. |

I hear ya' Spakler. I've been a "buy toys if I'm already there" guy for the past couple years. I decided it would be fun to hunt today since my whole family was gone for the day...big mistake.
A couple years ago I really got into buying everything online which saved a lot of time and effort. The thing is, I've seen all the Joes in stores without much trouble (except for the Zartan wave originally). So, I figured what the heck, might as well stick with shopping at retail. I then made the mistake of doing the same with my Star Wars collecting...so far this is proving to be a bad decision. I'll give it a couple more weeks and see how things go, otherwise I'll be back to online figure buying. |

Here in Springs, the best time to check Target is Tues & Thursdays, if nothing on those days, Mon & Wednesdays. WM's Thurs or Fridays. TRU, Weds or Firdays. Thats for Joes, as thats when I have bought all of waves 1-5 singles(wave 4 came from a trade, but I did see them) and all 3 comic pack waves. Star Wars is still playing catch up. Finally had to get the Malak wave from HTS. Saw remains of wave 1 08 at 2 WM's. Never saw anything new on weekends at any store.

I got a hold of a bunch of the Wave 3 Comic packs from a friend in the Phillipines if anyone is interested in buying them. I really don't need this many, and I just need to make back the money I spent on them. I have complete sets of the 4 pack (Crimson Guard Fred/Scarface, Wild Weasel/Ace, battle damage Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow with bow, Tomax/Xamot.
I'm also interested in trading for Pimp Daddy Destro, Iron Grenadier Destro, Air Troops, and Crimson Guard troops. I live near Monaco and Evans and work in downtown Denver near 13th and Speer blvd. We could arrange a meet at anyone of those places. Or I can ship it to you, if you live in Colorado Springs. Last edited by Gaelinic; 02-11-2008 at 01:14 PM.. |

What's the damage on those Comic Packs Gaelinic? Are they the same price as over here? If they're the same (or pretty close) I'd definitely be interested.
BTW, I'm so addicted to toy collecting I hit the Parker Wal Mart and Target this morning. Target had the re-release wave as of 9:00am (the ones from the 5 packs). They had SS, CC, Destro, Gung Ho, Scarlett, Air Trooper, Roadblock, Duke and Cobra Troopers...one of each. |

Monday Feb 11 @ 11am--
I was just at the Target on Powers and Carefree and they had all of the wave 3 comic packs along with a fair amount of singles. The target on academy and platee had a number of singles as well, but no wave 3 comic packs. Walmart on Platte and Chelton hada nada TRU had a few of the older comic packs and no singles. |
