Pineville Target currently has Helix, Pit Commando, Eel, Flash, and the Crimson Neo-Viper, in addition to the usual fare. Pineville Toys Я Us had plenty of Barbecue figures, but not much else.

The Pineville Toys Я Us had at least four cases of Collection 2 Wave 3 today (Helix/Pit Commando wave) at the two-for-ten price.

Did you ever find a Pit Commando? I found one at the Apex Target tonight. I hid an extra one on another isle as well if you are still looking.

Nope, no Pit Commando yet. I had a sneaking suspicion I should have gone to Apex tonight while I was in Cary, but I decided against it. That was dumb. I'd sure appreciate a tip.

In a bit of comedy, I stopped at Wal-Mart on New Bern in Raleigh tonight to find LOTS of toy pallets sitting in the aisles. I spotted at least 4 cases of Joes, but all of them were wave 1 stuff I see everywhere. Ugh.

I've also yet to find Clone War Commander Gree although I've been to several Targets which have restocked and have everything BUT him. I reckon I just need some patience.

I just saw Gree a few days ago (Tuesday, I think) at a Wal-Mart up here in Kernersville. It's the first time I've seen him (Didn't have the money for him at the time)

I'll be keeping an eye out for those Pit Commandos for you. The Wake Forest WalMart had all of the other figures from that wave this morning. If you get desperate, I have three loose that I'd be willing to sell for $25 shipped.

I'm looking for those new Clone Wars figures (Denal, Gree, Cad Bane, 41st Trooper) so if see any of those in the Raleigh area give me a heads up. Thanks!

Wish I had known that while I was on vacation in Maine. I got Denal and saw a few Cad Banes and 41st troopers up there. I'll keep my eyes open around here for you.

By the by, I finally got a chance to see the movie last night. While I didn't absolutely love it, I didn't hate it as much as I had originally thought I might. I might just pick it up on DVD when it comes out. I certainly felt better about ROC than I did Revenge of the Fallen. If anything, ROC made me want to go out and buy more of the toys, whereas ROTF made me regret my very few purchases (except for Human Alliance Bumblebee, which is very nice). I could definitely nitpick ROC, but I guess I'm gonna let a lot of things slide.

Ran to both GSO and WS TRU's today for the sale (I've been broke all week :( ) Picked up some that I had been passing on for the longest and found an Eel hidden in the storage head space at WS. Nothing really all that new

Woohoo! Thanks to a tip and some "creative inventory placement" by mumdb1, I finally got a Pit Commando today. This is a truly great figure, and I even got Target to match 2 x $5 (with a Scarlett) on it.
