I stopped at the Riverdale store again last night after work and they had put out 1 more case of w7. All the cards were damaged from shipping and a few even had loose bubbles.

You found more at the Riverdale one!? Dang it. I just need a couple HISS drivers and Vipers here and I'm done with the wave. I finally found Indy toys at the Northtown Toys R Us today as well as the Batman and Hulk toys.

I actually went to Apple Valley last night and there was a whole case of Wave 7 on the pegs, except for Wild Bill for some reason. They even had a 2nd Viper.

So I now have 1 extra MOC Viper I'd be willing to trade for a Wild Bill.

I've been hitting local Targets in my area for a couple of weeks trying to score a set of vehicles, but no luck. Today I made the trek to Roseville and found a Night Spectre. They had a total of 4, but none of the others. This was on a register endcap as previously reported. The only single carded figures were were one hooded CC and one Wave 7 Duke, so evidence that they at least had Wave 7 briefly.

Growing tired of coming up empty on vehicles, I hit my local Target with the DCPI # (087060918) in hand and had a friendly staff member look it up. Surprisingly, she found that they had 4 cases in stock that had not been put out yet. She happily grabbed a case for me from the back and I was able to pull out the two I needed to complete my set. She had no idea why they weren't out yet, but I suspect it is because there isn't a free end cap to put them on yet. It's a fairly small Target.

In any case, I guess the moral of the story is, if you haven't seen the Target vehicles yet, be sure to have someone there lookup the DCPI as they might have them in the back waiting for you. Apologies if this is common knowledge already. Also, Cottage Grove Target has at least 3 more full cases. Not sure if they put them out on the shelves after I left tonight or not.

Well, I found in my searching today that of the three Targets in my area, ONE has re-stocked their shelves finally. The Northtown one, which had the leftovers of Wave 7 with a Wild Bill, Spirit, Duke with flag, and two Snake Eyes. No Vipers or HISS drivers...again. >_<;;

I'm finding lots of the last comics packs released as of late everywhere now though.

Guh. Went to the Northtown Target, and they had everything you said, EXCEPT for the Wild Bill, which is the only thing I'm missing. Are that many people buying extra WB's to customize their Ace? Why is this guy so tough? The Vipers and HISS Drivers I understand, but come ON...

My search for the latest wave has netted me nothing. Downtown and Richfield Targets (they haven't reset the action figures yet) as well as Bloomington Walmart were bare. Over the weekend I hit the Shakopee and Eden Prairie Walmarts...and nothing there, either. I'm not sure if I have bad timing or they just haven't put anything out yet, but the end result is the same. Shaane 0, Forces of Evil, 1.

If anyone has any luck in the southern metro, let us know!

Hey shaane, welcome to the boards.

There were a couple posts last page or two about some finds at Walmart Apple Valley. A poster on another board found a set of Wave 7, and I found a set a day or so later. Nothing was left after I got my set.

I've been watching Eagan Walmart pretty closely. Just Wave 4 on the pegs, but plenty of room for more. They've done there reset (including Indy and Dark Knight) but no new Joes.

I suspect that many Walmarts do have Wave 7, but haven't gotten around to putting them out.

[shaane]

Thanks, Enemy! I'll do my best to keep up the reports. Hopefully I'll have some good news...but until then...

Another round of evening searching, another round of failure. Richfield and Southtown Targets finally added Hulk and Indy toys but I didn't see any new Joes.

Bloomington Walmart was barren yet again (but they did add some new Batman figs, if anyone is interested). I did see another collector come cruising in right after me, on the hunt for Joes. While I don't like to judge (too much), it would have been cool if this guy was into personal grooming a little more than he was.

Bloomington TRU has a couple of the Cobra officers packs, but nothing else new.

That's all I have for now...

[Kthakkar]

Dang it, I moved to South Saint Paul last month, and I swear... I have not seen a Joe since (except maybe the Hooded CC thats been hanging on the rack at the Roseville Target). I work in St. Paul in off Energy Park, and I usually stop on lunch or on my way home... but man... nothing. I used to live in Forest Lake and on my way home I'd pass about 6 or 7 Joe carrying stores and got everything (Minus 2 of the 5-packs) right off the shelf. This stinks.
