North Carolina G.I. Joe Sightings

I went to these stores and found absolutely nada:

Both Targets in Garner
All super Wal-Marts near Fuquay/Hollysprings/Garner/Siler City

Drove over 140 miles and didn't find a single figure other than Wild Bill, Torpedo, Cobra Commander, Snake Eyes.

I think I'm pretty much done at driving more than 5-10 miles from now on, they just don't seem to be stocking them in any way that makes sense. Hollsprings Super Wal-Mart had about 20 pallets of toys in their garden section, guessing xmas shipment, didn't see a single Hasbro Joe box.

TRU had a TON of dvd packs, one each of the vehicles and one Iron Grenadier Destro hangin' with the Wave 7 Snake Eyes.

And, Target had remnants of Wave 9 and DVD packs.

I saw Shogi and another tanker (I forgot to ask for his screen name) at Wendover Target in GSO. :-)

Wave 7 out the ying yang. Both Wal-Marts.

As of right now Target in Gastonia has 1 BBQ, 1 Hawk, 1 Bazooka and 1 Ninja ku , plus one DVD pack #1.

Leland Walmart must have gotten about 3 or 4 cases of Wave 9 in at some point. Of course, the BAT's and Serpent's were gone already, but there were plenty of the others.

I had one of the stockers at the MS WM in Wilmington check her scanner the other day. She said there were 48 on order, so I was thinking they would be in tonight. Didn't get a chance to get out there though.

Both Leland and MJ Walmart got in the TF Movie Deluxe assortment with Premium Bumblebee as well (again). Probably your last chance at seeing him.

Also, Target has the Cobra Rattler/Conquest DCPI # in their system as "active", but of course has none in stock.

Not much to report in my area besides some 12" figures and dvd packs. Oh, the WM in Smithifield did have the remains of a wave 7 case the other night.

Target in Cornelius as of 12:35pm 8-13-08
They've got the Wave 5 Comic Packs in stock. Still left on the pegs are : Tripwire vs CC and Gold Head Destro w/ IG.
Wave 9 has also been there. I managed to get Hawk, Bazooka, and a BAT. No BBQ or Snow Serpent. Left a Ninja-Ku hanging around. At least I know that they're showing up around here.
