I ordered and received my Doc figure early in the promotion. I ordered Wave 11 from Hasbro Direct and it shipped 1 week late.

I received my 2nd Doc about 4 weeks ago as well (I only sent in two forms total).

Yeah, I really hope we start seeing waves 12 and 13 soon.

I ordered 10 and 11 from HTS, thinking that it would be a long time before all of those revision cases got cleared out of WM and Target. How wrong I was, and now I'm going to try and find everything in stores again from now on. It's way more fun I think (and luckily gas is cheaper at the moment).

Hi,

Local guys - nice! Anyone looking for anything immediately that might be a little further back, I'm headed to the UP this weekend and will probably pass about a half-dozen ghost-town WalMarts and ShopKo stores (might go back as far as Wave 2 in some of these out of the way locales).

PM if there's anything you'd like me to keep an eye out for - Michigan Tech hockey vs. Denver trip and there's nothing to do in the UP tomorrow but hit sleepy retail locales...

Agreed.

To date I've order wave 10 and 11, DVD sets 3 and 4 and 1 Sharc Tooth from HTS. I agree it's a lot more fun hunting for the figures, but I also thought we were going to miss a couple of waves because of revisions. Wave 11 arrived today. I had to hold off buying the figures at different Targets knowing I had them on order.

I bought 1 EEL figure today at Fridley Target. They have every figure from wave 11 minus Zartan and EEL.

Today, I received the final 2 Doc figures I ordered. They cashed the checks for these 2 about a month ago.

Northtown TRU has a couple sets of the new Command 3-Packs instock now that the sale is over. I managed to buy an IG set during the sale but that's all I saw during that period.

I found a lone BAT at the Blaine TRU after work today. They still had a lot of wave 10 including regular Wraith.

Found a lone EEL at the Andover Target this evening. Really like the EEL figure but the knives are way too big to fit into the sheaths. I've been leaving them in a bag or having the figure hold 1.

Ya thats what detracts from an otherwise perfect figure. I'm still going to town on army building him though.

WTF is with the increasing number of returned and restocked vehicle sets with 'replacement' drivers/pilots in them around here? I was at Target this morning and there was a Rattler with a Red Cobra Driver figure in place of the Wild Weasel figure. On the same shelf, there was a HISS Tank with all the intact exclusive labeling, with a red Cobra Driver in place of the blue Cobra Driver AND an AWE Striker with a Wild Bill (of which there are about a trillion peg warmers in this market) in place of the Leatherneck figure.

If you read this and are making switches like this, in the Twin Cities area or anywhere else...well, I'm not your mom so I'm not going to try what my mom would do and "tsk, tsk, tsk" you...but I think I speak for your fellow Joe fans and collectors by saying only that what you're doing is just not cool and we all wish you'd knock it the feck off now, please.

Oh, and if anyone spots any 25A Cobra EELs and wants to snap 'em up for me, I've got CA$H (and figures!) to trade...within reason, of course.

Like everyone else up here, I know that single carded figures retail for between $7.30 and $8.03 including sales tax at Target and WalMart, so don't come at me with five EELs for $75 or some hustle like that - I wouldn't bone anyone local looking to round out collections or troop-build, and likewise won't be boned.

I roam around substantially on work-related trips and am aware that wave 12 and 13 figures are available as close to us as Eau Claire WI, so if anyone has EELs but would trade for 12/13 figs, let me know what you're looking for - I'll be headed there at the end of this week.

Cheers, lads!

I haven't seen any, however I haven't been on the lookout for it either.

You might be able to find who is doing this by searching eBay auctions. If you find someone selling a lot of 25th Joe's and they are in the area and they also have listed the above Joe's, you might have your guy. But, that's a long shot and a lot of work.

I hope this does't bother anyone, but I'm going to pimp my EEL hustle.

100% of the final sale price is going to the Humane Society.

This is the 1 lone EEL I've found in stores.

Well, I lost patience and went ahead and ordered Wave 12 from EE (using the free shipping code). So it only amounted to $7.50 per figure, which doesn't upset me too much.

I'm keeping this entire wave MOC anyways (I don't need troops from this one; I prefer EEL over diver, and I already have too many blueshirts).

I will wait until wave 13 hits retail. Still need to catch up on all those stupid comic packs and new vehicles.

I did find the CC (Fred VII)/Gung-ho, IG/Viper, and Deep-Six/Rock N' Roll comic packs last Saturday (12/6) at the Apple Valley Wal-Mart.

Has anyone seen the Mainframe/Beachhead, Hardmaster/Snake-Eyes, or Scrap Iron/Wild Bill comic packs in Minnesota?

Norse-

I've only seen those comic packs at the Eagan Kohl's store...never at a Target, Walmart, or TRU.
