You have NO IDEA how hard it is to track down WM exclusives out here, but luckily my Star Wars buds are usually able to keep an eye out all around the metro - providing a store actually has received said product. I've also heard on a few sites before that BBTS *might* have something to do with it, but I'm not certain.

Wal-Marts are EVIL around Minnesota indeed.

They got the Giant Man wave of Marvel Legends as well as the first wave of face-offs back in the day when Toy Biz still ran that show, but I have yet to see any of the other big WM exclusive things....

Halo
DC Universe wave 5
Marvel Legends 'Ares' or 'Nemesis' waves
Masterpiece Starscream

The list goes on and on...and it bugs me to know ANOTHER DC universe wave will be exclusive to them jerks.

The two closest Wal-Marts to me shrunk their toy aisles to practically nothing, so I know even more so I won't be getting anythign in that relation outside of 'evilBay'.

Same will probably go for the G.I.Joe 2-packs... >_< I really only want Monkeywrench though to be honest.

Well, I highly suggest that we pool our efforts and create a network. Michigan Tankers have a Network that is highly successful in meeting the collecting needs of it's members.

Money permitting, we could all pick up an extra here and there and swap with one another...or specifically write down what we want (which would actually make more sense).

If anyone is still looking for Agent Helix, Pit Commando, Flash, Elite Viper, Eel... I had to go back to the Coon Rapids/Riverdale Target today for some stuff and they had a whole bunch of them as well as some Crimson Vipers and Hawk figures. I bought a Hawk, but still a few there.

I saw 2 Helix and around 3 PIT Commandos...so if you want them...go get them.

DT Target also got the new wave in, there was one Agent Helix left as of 11:30am

Hey, could anyone pick me up a Hawk? I live in Uptown Mpls, and I can meet up this weekend.

I've got an extra one I would be willing to part with. I'm going hunting with C.I.A.D. this Sat so we could meet up some time then.

I’m all for a network, and have no problem picking up things. Put ‘em on your credit card and just return before payment is due if swap doesn’t work out. Funds go right back on your card, nothing spent, nothing lost.

I’ll lead by example but I’m a little behind, I’ve got Helix and Hawk but looks like people got them already. Only found 2 Pit Commados so far, one of each style that I’m keeping but will keep an eye out. I’m kind of done with ROC for what’s out now but could use some help with the Marvel Universe and Legends coming out. I don’t collect TF or Star Wars but would be happy to look for those as well.

Would be nice to have a central spot to “write things down” kind of like an FTP site so people could enter what they want and enter stuff when they pick up for others. That would help avoid 3 or 4 people picking up the same thing for one guy. A limited access thread or page the group could access and edit would work.

Maybe if we knew a moderator or administrator they could set something up here on the Tank…………
