[QUOTE=Roadblock]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 [...] I mean, this is really hard to find figures at retail.
Exactly my point. Which is why I would hope that armybuilders would exercise a bit of restraint for the sake of fellow collectors. Quote:

I'm not claiming moral superiority. I myself haven't had many good sightings lately, because others usually post before me. So I'm not really that much help. And you guys have posted some helpful sightings in the past, which again is great. I think we can all agree that this line is a whole is really difficult to track down, no question about that. Army building is understandably a significant part of our hobby. I just hope we can help each other out, is all. Last edited by THE ENEMY; 03-06-2008 at 06:15 PM.. |

I visited the new Apple Valley Super Target last night. They have wave 1 comic packs and what looks to be the army builder wave. Lots of Red Ninjas, Cobra Officers and Viper Pilot/Cobra figures to be had. I was also at the Super Target in Richfield near the airport and they had wave 3 comic packs and the Dreadnoks.

I stopped at the Blaine TRU after work on Friday and they had remnants of the Torpedo wave. I picked up 1 Ninja 5-pack and 1 Night 5-pack. They still had 1 of each boxed set when I left. Someone bought the CGs before I got there.
I'm all for helping out others. However, no one has stated recently something like "hey guys pick up a CG for me if you find one". |

Now for a sighting.... As of 3pm today, 1 armoured CC and 1 Torpedo at the St Louis Park Target off 36th st. Also 1 CG and 1 Snow Job. I picked up one R&R, left everthing else. There was another collector looking though. Not sure if he bought anything. One of you guys? |

Ya, possibly was me, I was in SLP target tonight....around...8'ish? Looking like a bum w glasses, a grey hoody.... *EDIT oops I see 3'ish, I was in there around 8pm tonite.....
Actually I went to both SLP's. I found 1 R&R at one, and found 1 torpedo at the other one..... They mustve gotten them in like yesterday, or the day before cause I was on the hunt for wv 6 earlier this week. Nice to actually see them in person now haha. The WV 6 GI JOE chrome is really shiny compared to the old ones Ive been seeing, thats pretty neat. There was also WV 4 stuff at Knollwood and 36'th st when I left as Teh Enemy stated.... I need an Armor CC and I am done w wv 6 woop! ![]() Last edited by ShortCircuit; 03-10-2008 at 01:06 AM.. |

Probably not even a good sighting anymore, but SLP Target on 36th was well stocked with Wave 5, including IG Destro. I'd say at least 2 of each, plus some older stuff. Just the usual 3 diaper-crotch Hawk 2-packs hanging around.

Brooklyn Park, Crystal and Andover Target stores have 4 cases of vehicles in each of their backrooms. Haven't been to any of them yet because I'll probably wait for these to hit clearance or pass all together.
