I haven't gone hunting all week. WAH!

Thanks for the help. Can always use it in searches for stuff. I'm guessing the figures will be more abundant as the weeks go along, but with troop builders, who knows... I'm debating actually if I want to get a few of the PIT commandos now or not and wait with the mentions of green camo Joes down the line.

What I really hate is the exclusives... Wal-Marts around me I can probably guarantee won't get the ROC 2-packs since they haven't gotten any exclusives of note since the Giant Man wave of Marvel Legends and 2-packs a while back.
I know they had nothing ROC related or Joe related at all this morning at the Coon Rapids/Riverdale Wal-Mart.

Has anyone been able to find SUMMER?!?!?!?!

WTF is up with Juloctober? I'm FREEZING MY ASS OFF PEOPLE.

52 Degrees? SRLSY?

TRU - Bloomington:

4 Pegs of RoC Figures...but none to call home over. Your typical Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow/Baroness, etc. Couple of Exclusive Barbecue figs.

1st Wave of RoC Vehicles (No red helmet Firefly/dropships...all had black helmets).

Older Joe Stuff - Last few waves of Comic Packs, Resolute/Cobra 5 packs, Leatherneck with AWE Striker, SRO packs (wave 2).

Again, nothing to write home over.

This TRU is apparently re-setting/stocking on Wednesday. Will go back and check then.


Conquest (I hope I heard that right!), it was a pleasure meeting you, man! We'll have to co-ordinate a hunt some time soon. Have to find both MST & myself some Pit Commando figs! I didn't go to that other TRU. Got disgruntled and turned around on black dog road (?)

Ha - been great for those of us that work outside! Plus a lot people in the Cities pay for these kind of temps in July staying up on the North Shore.

Back on topic - Maplewood TRU has about 12 pegs in front, no singles in the Joe aisle. Accelerator suit Ripcord was probably the only "HTF" fig. At $5 i'll bite on these wasn't planning on much ROC stuff. Bought Shipwreck 1st week of July and this TRU gave me the price adjustment to 2 for 9.99 if I bought 1 extra today to make an odd number.

Anybody try the local Targets yet for either a price match or adjustment on what you already bought??

On the road for work this Wed, should be able to stop at 3-4 TRUs, will keep an eye out for Pit Commando and Helix.

I'm still not sure which stores that works at and/or how it's even done, but my plan is just to stock up on $4.99 TRU figs and return them to Target when I find newer stuff there at $6.99-$7.99. That's if I decide to bite on more stuff. Only got SE, Stormshadow, and the 2 TRU exclusives so far.

Works at ALL Targets, was just a test policy at the downtown Mpls location for a while. I got some of my prices adjusted at the Hudson Target today. There is a color instruction sheet with pictures at customer service but it still took 2 managers and 3 employees to get my refund, and then only on stuff bought within the past ten days. The others I just stopped in to TRU for some extra $5 figs and then returned at the nearest Target so both ways work. At $5 I have bought a few more ROC figs than I would have otherwise. Desert Ambush Scarlett and Ice Viper seem to be the ones I have seen the least of.

Both TRUs I stopped in had the big front end display up, but nothing new for figs really. No sign of Helix or Pitt Commando.

Grabbed an extra PP SE if anyone’s interested.

Ok, I headed out to stores today, in particular, TRU for the G.I.Joe sale that is supposed to be going on, as well as the newest TRU exclusive wave of Marvel Minimates (Must find Bullseye/Moonstone 2-pack)

Northtown TRU had carts full of cardboard out so I thought maybe things would be in full force there. The G.I.Joe setup display in the front was up...but hardly anything was on display, and what was, I already had or didn't want. Either they haven't gotten a lot of Joes in yet, or some people did some major clean-up on the shelves, but anyway...nothing was bought there.
They had Ghostbusters and the new Battlestar Galactica Minimates, but no Marvel Minimates either and the movie Joes are all removed from the aisle they were in for the big display. So essentially a wasted trip over there today... Why have a sale going when you hardly have any product I don't understand, but anyway...

On a whim, driving back home I stopped at the Coon Rapids Target and... I found 1 Helix, 1 Pit Commando, 1 Elite Viper, 1 Flash, and I Eel. I bought all but the Eel. So in the end I got something, but would have been nice to have gotten them on the TRU sale...which oddly on the display wasn't even advertised.

Anyway, it seems the Helix wave is trickling out now to other stores...just still very slowly.

I ended up trading for my Helix & 2 Pit Commandos (still inbound). A good bud of mine lives down in AZ and the closest TRU is a 2 hour drive...so we swapped TRU exclusives for'em

What scares me is the notion that the new Battle Stations are WM exclusives....from what I hear, WM in MN really bites.
