Found wave 6 at the Brooklyn Park WM last night at about 11pm. Torpedo is awesome.

No sign of wave 6 at Monticello, Elk River or Coon Rapids WM.

Found Crimson Guards at Champlin, Monticello and Elk River Target stores today.

Found more wave 3 comic packs at Andover and Monticello Targets.

Found 3 Crimson Guards at the Blaine K-Mart Friday afternoon.

Found 1 Air Trooper at the Anoka K-Mart last night.

Haven't seen anything good at Blaine Toys R Us since about 10 days ago. Hopefully, the 3-Packs and 5-Pack exclusives show up soon. I can't wait to be surprised.

Hit target and Wal-Mart tonight in Mankato. Target had 3 cases of wave five, then hit Wal-Mart and they had what looked like cases of wave five but there was also some Beachheads, Hooded CC and Serpy, no Troopers of any kind, there was Flash and Black Snake. There was no IG Destro or Snow Job. So I don't know if they got wave 5 & 6 at the same time and I missed the new wave 6 figures. Did you guys in the Cities get 5 & 6 at the same time?

I also want to say thanks for you guys posting when you find figures because when they hit up there they are within a week later down here in Southern MN.

Did get the Crimson Guards so it was not a bad night.

Great find there. Those Crimson Guard figures are addictive. I can never leave them on the peg because they are so cool. So far they have been easy to find at times. I've found a few just about every week for a while now. I hope the Viper and BAT are somewhat easy to find like these. How many CGs did you leave on the pegs?

These were the first that I found on the pegs, so needles to say I did not leave any. Also think though there was at least 3 cases of wave 6 but some body took them all. Oh well just keep hunting. Hope that I can find the Vipers and the Bats this easily to. How many troopers and Crimson guards do you have?

I went out hunting this morning but only found 1 Crimson Guard at the Coon Rapids/Riverdale Target store.
After that I went to Champlin and Brooklyn Park Target but they were wiped out except for wave 4 or red ninjas.
BP Wal-Mart had nothing new.
Coon Rapids/Riverdale WM had new.
Blaine KM had nothing new.
Blaine TRU had nothing new.

I say this without malice, as I have everything I want...

Howsabout leaving some CG's for everyone else? Sound like you have a lot of time to look, which is enviable. But this wave is not as easy to find for a lot of people. I think we all appreciate the sightings, but it would be more helpful if you guys left something behind for others to actually buy.

Again, I'm not trying to browbeat anybody; I just want everyone to find what they want.

Here what you are saying, but in all reality it is just not how it is. As a collector and a small army builder around 20 figures for each trooper character, if you do not buy the figures you want you may never see them again. Here in southern MN we get 2 maybe 3 cases at a time, every two weeks. Other collectors find them first, which I know that was the case the other night where walmart got at least 3 cases of wave 6 and the person who stocks the shelf today told me one younger fella took all the new figures. Nothen I could do about it, I wish he would have left me some of the new ones but he did not, it is just the way it is. If you do not take the figure that you want when you see them by the time you see figures again they moved on to the next wave. Heck I never seen wave 1 in person or 4 until two weeks ago. I also get figures for 2 of my brothers who do not get to go out looking that much, so if I did not pick up these they would have been pissed. I wish everybody could find all the figures that they want but I blame it on poor distribution. Say a guy needs two sets one to keep in, one to take out, so now that leaves one set left, 2 people get the figures in a city with 45,000 people. I mean, this is really hard to find figures at retail. I know they will get about 6 cases in before the next wave but it is really hard to find them before somebody else does. So if you are wondering why I do not leave anything behind this is why, collecting for 3 and that it is pretty scarce around here. I just hope Hasbro increase the case size or how many cases they send at a time, and I know it has a lot to do with each individual store.

I've missed a lot more Crimson Guards than I've purchased. It has taken me 2 months to find 40 of these. I usually look after work and find nothing. Then on my day off during the week I look around and find nothing because someone else had the luck that day or the days I worked. I'm not going to pass up something that I'm collecting when I'm lucky enough to find them on a given day because I might upset someone.

I'm not an army builder type guy. I might buy 3 or 4 of each at the most. I can understand that hard core army builders and also people who really, really like a figure will want multiples. The CGs, Cobra troops and Cobra Officers have been out long enough that people that wanted a few should have been able to find them by now. I see them all of the time on my hunts. I say that if people buy a bunch of figures that only helps us all out in the end. Ideally stores will replenish the product (hopefully Hasbro helps with this) and newer stuff will be put on the pegs. Old stuff won't sit around and rot like the wave 1 comic packs. I agree that it sucks when new stuff comes out and there might be one or two repacks of the new wave left behind, but that's all part of the hunt. The good part about a site like this is that we can share info with others who share the collecting bug and hopefully help each other out from time to time when we might grab something extra for another. Basically I'm saying "Come on, group hug!!!"
