Went to Target this morning before work, found nothing. However, prices are now $6.84. Oh, Hulk and Indiana Jones toys are out.

Also, anyone seen anything in the stores yet? I hit three Wal-marts and nothing.

Oh, it looks like I'll be going to San Diego Comic Con this year. It's a big dream of mine. With child number three coming in and a free flight ticket on Frontier, it looks like the stars are aligning to make this happen. I'm taking my oldest boy, but he'll probably spend most of his time with grandpa and an aunt while I act like a kid at the comic con.

With that being said, is there any thing at the con this year I should keep an eye out for? I definitely plan on hitting the Hasbro booth for Joes. I could entertain some requests for any exclusives if you live in town. However, I offer to pick up requests only if vendors let me buy multiples of things. I want to buy two of each of any Joe exclusives for myself, but I'll let go of anything else.

Anyway, has anyone here ever been to the San Diego Comic Con? How are lines? Do they do separate lines for Joes, Transformers, and Star Wars?

Have Fun!!! I am a little Jealous. I have never been. I hear it is mad crazy though.

I am in Kansas right now. If you guys think CO stores suck you should see here!! Nothing!!! All movie Merchandise. I did talk to a Target here and they said that they really don't care about keeping up stock on Joes because they are not a big seller.

WTF!!
It is called we can't buy what you don't have! It is bad enough that somehow due to supply and demand everyone is raising prices on the Single Packs. You don't order enough, stock depletes. retailers go, WOW these are hot sellers we should raise the prices.

Thruth is I haven't seen any new stock anywhere since prices have gone up anyway. What a joke. I am writing letters to Target and Wal*Mart. I will put time into the letters to better articulate my points. But this is just crud. I may even start a forum and provide address and standard letters.

On an interesting note, I inquired about more 3-packs while at the Aurora TRU today and finally ran into a helpful and knowledgeable associate. She actually checked the stockroom (I know, amazing right?). She told me that every time they have gotten the three packs in recent weeks one person typically comes in and buys ALL of them. Don't you just love scalpers?

MT NEEDS:

TRU Joe 3-Pack

yeah thats because they only put out 2 sets.
i know becuase i cleaned em out before
do you think 2 sets is excessive or scalper like buying?

[jdmountford]

My needs are simple.... Fett has The Exclusives that I am looking for. Other than that I need 2 Wild Bills. 1 Spirit. The Vipers and snow serpents will eventually sit on shelves so I am not worried about those. And I certainly dont want another Storm Shadow!!

Wal-Mart on Platte. Went this mornig and they had a few older figures and I went back in the afternoon and saw the wave 7 Snake Eyes. Checked all the Targets & Wal-Marts and nothing, as all the stores were in the process of doing the resets.
