Just got back from Wal-Mart in Monroe with the complete set of wave 3 comic packs!!! I was totally shocked to find them!!

I grabbed a complete set plus an extra Tomax/Xamot set. I had a hard time deciding whether I wanted to get an extra Ace/Wild Weasle pack or an extra Tomax/Xamot pack. I guess the twins won, and I must say, they are pretty awsome!

I saw wave 3 comic packs at the WM in Burlington at lunch. There were no Tomax/Xamot packs left, but there was a Crimson Guard/Cobra Trooper pack.

There were two Cobra Troopers and a couple of other Wave 3 single figures left.

Went looking for wave 3 comic packs. Nothing at Kernersville WM except wave 3 singles.

I did find a very rare wave 2 destro and han solo at the WM off Hanes Blvd in Winston.

No Wave 3 CP's here in Wilmington either. I'm pretty sure they'll show up over the weekend though.

For those who found the wave 3 comic packs, were you already out of wave 1 comic packs. The reason why I ask is typically they don't put stuff out if the pegs are full, in our Wal-Mart...pegs are semi-full of wave 1 comic packs. So, not sure if they will wait until those are gone or what....

Looks like Wal-Mart on Wendover in Greensboro got wave 3 comics last night, I found 2 SE/SS packs this morning

kndy, the above mentioned Wal-Mart still had almost 3 full pegs of wave 1 (They've had those for at least a week) So it looks like they'll put out new stuff even when they still have a bunch of old

As of Noon today (Saturday) there were two full sets of Wave 3 comic packs at Wal-Mart on University in Winston-Salem. They also had a few extra SE/SS packs and a couple of Hawk packs. No Singles though

When I bought mine, the wave 3 comic packs had been stocked in front of the wave 1 comic packs. They still had about 10 wave 1 comic packs.

Saw remnants of Wave 3 CP's tonight in Wilmington. Found a lone SE/SS pack at one Walmart amongst the Wave 1's. Looks like I just missed them, ARGH.

I was just at this Walmart last night and they had nothing. I must have missed the case on the pallets.

Ah well, I'll get them soon enough.
