The Super Target behind Triangle Town Center and the "little" Target down the street at Capital Blvd and Millbrook (in Raleigh) has everything out at this point -- figures, vehicles and the PIT (as far as the 3 3/4-inch line goes).

The Super Target had three end caps set up with additional single-carded figures on the action figure aisle as well (in the regular G.I. Joe section).

The little Target had most of their stuff on the aisle and sales associates were in the process of setting up at least one end cap when I was there this afternoon. They had broken down boxes still on the sales floor near the display so it looked like the stuff went out fairly recently.

Both Targets had essentially the same stuff (and in healthy quantities), except the little Target had a wave I didn't see represented at the Super Target. In addition to all the ones I expected to see this weekend, they also had the Crimson Neo-Viper, single-carded Hawk, Helix, Flash, Cobra Eel, Elite Neo-Viper, PIT Commando and possibly a couple of others that the other store did not. The figures were $7.99.

The vehicles I saw included the PIT ($99.99), Night Raven ($39.99), Steel Crusher ($24.99), Cobra Gunship ($24.99), and the Rock Slide, Cobra Mole Pod, "Armadillo" repaint and new Ferret w/Scrap Iron were all $15.99.

Overall I thought it was pretty impressive finally seeing all this stuff on the shelves. I thought the quality of the figures and the packaging looked pretty good and it looked to me like there was a fair amount of interest in the line, especially at the Super Target.

Charlotte collectors, if you're looking for movie toys, Far South Target is loaded. That's the second one off Rea Road once you exit I-485. Some other Targets have them for sale, but they had more than four other stores combined. They have multiples of all the vehicles and a dozen or so pegs stocked full of figures. The only thing they didn't have was the PIT playset, but Toys Я Us in Pineville had three of those in stock this afternoon if you want one.

TARGET Report - Winston-Salem

University Parkway Target has everyone except for wave 3?
(Helix, Pit Commando, Eel, Crimson Viper, etc... are NOT there)
There was one Deep Six. They also had the Cobra gunship with the Red Helmet instead of the black one (incase you're looking for that) and unlike the other Targets in GSO and HP, this one had the Ice Sabre (I forget it's movie name)


Hanes Mall Blvd Target supposedly has them out (I called and they said they did but I didn't have time to make it over there)

The Ice Dagger is the one vehicle I haven't seen in Charlotte yet. As for single carded figures, I've seen C1 Wave 1, C2 Wave 1, and C2 Wave 2. I haven't come across anything from C1 Wave 2, C1 Wave 3, or C2 Wave 3.

Gonna sound dumb I know, but I never knew there were two Targets on Rea Rd!! I didn't realize it until I read this post. This morning that Target had the Pit. It's on an endcap at the bottom. I only got the Hummer because that's pretty much all I want.

Anyhow, thanks for the tip because I found a Thomas engine for my son that I have been hunting for the past 6 months! Thanks!!!

Nothing dumb about that. Honestly, unless you just happened to drive past the place, why would anyone even suspect that there would be another Target right there? Their close proximity seems to impact what stock their respective toy departments receive, from what I've noticed. At any rate, I'm glad you were able to find something you wanted. That H2 is killer!

Good to know they're stocking the PIT, too. I didn't see any at Targets this weekend, and I'm really hoping that thing sells well enough to justify future (hopefully Cobra) playsets. Was it $99.99 there?

GSO Target on Lawndale just put out all the toys today. Funny thing is there was a Hasbro rep helping put it up. I wonder if the rep got there and was all like "Why haven't you guys put this out yet!?"

I heard from a friend that it was the same assortments at the Wendover Target (IE: no Wave 3 and no Destro, Baroness, etc...)

Apparently TRU in GSO is also now wiped out.... guess they're selling fairly well here

Hey guys,
Have any of you seen the Fast Action Battlers in stores in the Raleigh, Garner, Cary area yet? I would like to get a few for my son, maybe Snakes and Storm Shadow for myself. Also Wal-mart at Brier Creek had a lot of Joe stuff out. Didn't have time to look this morning.
