Just came from Wal-mart, they had a SE, SS and CC. They also had like 40 or more 5 packs! :eek:

The new midtown Target had a couple of cases of wave 2 on the pegs lat night, if any Charlotte collectors still need those.

Just thought I'd let all the NC Peeps know that this weekend (Nov 17-18th) is the Greensboro Toy Show. I've gotten a few good deals from this place, also there's usually this one seller that has tables worth of MIB Joe items! (Prices are usually too much for me, but it's still nice to look at )

Here's the info:

Greensboro Coliseum Complex
Show Hours: Saturday 9-4, Sunday 10-4
# of Tables: 400
Admission: Adults $6 Daily, 15 & Under Free
Weekend Pass $7
$3 Parking (Per Coliseum)

The same group does a show here in Charlotte, too. The next one is December 8 & 9, in fact. I used to go, and I've been to the one in Raleigh a couple of times, too. There are always one or two dealers with a great selection, but I've found that I was better off saving my "event" budget for HeroesCon. I think the Greensboro show is actually a little larger, though. I'm already driving up I-85 the following weekend, or I'd consider it. Maybe next time.

I wish i could go.Never been to one before,I try and save my money for Heroescon too.Didn't find to many toys there last year.Just about finished my Marvel run though.

I've noticed that the vendors have been mostly regional dealers over the last couple of years, as opposed to guys from all over the eastern half of the country in years past. Higher fuel prices could be keeping some of the Florida and NY people from renting a booth.

I bought a ton of comics in 2006, though, including near-full sets of several Milestone titles for less than the original cover price. I bought a few busts and statues this year, more expensive items I usually don't go for at the cons. This year was actually a little bit better for action figures than '06 was, but I noticed one of the bigger toy dealers was absent, as were the people who've always set up the two t-shirt booths. I hate it when specific dealers I look forward to seeing stop making the trip.

I was looking for those same people,i remember seeing a Cobra hoody a couple of years ago. The only toys i got,was SS,SE,red ninja comic pack and a DTC Crimson Guard.

[Compulsive Collector]

Yeah, most of the toys I got this year were DC Direct figures, but there were a couple of dealers with a decent selection of Joes and STAR WARS. I hope some of the vendors who were missing in '07 return for '08.

Has anyone seen any restocks of Wave 3 lately? I cannot find Firefly, Shipwreck, and Red Ninja to save my life. I've been checking almost every day, and all I see are the 3 regulars (SS, SE, CC), and restocks of Wave 2. With Christmas only a month away, I figured Hasbro would be trying to fill the pegs.

K-mart in Burington Has one Shipwreak, and one Green Stalker.
