So are any of you guys going to HeroesCon this year? It's just a little over two months away.

I hear you! I stopped by there the other day and nothing...then again I shouldn't have been surprised as it's been ages since I've found anything new there!

I'm going to the Heroes convention. I had to sit last year out, but I'm planning on being there Saturday and Sunday this year.

Yeah, I haven't even bothered stopping by the last few times I've been out that way (I was actually lamenting the loss of Collectors' World the last time I was there). Of course, once they open the new Best Buy across from the Midtown Target, I won't have any reason to shop in Pineville again.

Oh, the memories of hanging out @ Collector's World in Pineville! Now I hang out @ Dave's in Ft. Mill, SC...

I found the JOE 3-pack yesterday at the TRU in Gastonia. I left the Cobra 3-pack on the shelf. Somebody beat me to the Crimson set. Target in G-Town didn't have squat as of yesterday either. No SW 66 sets of Joe vehicle sets.
I too plan on going to HeroeCon this year. We ought to make plans to meet while there.

I still have the Phil Simms SLU figure I bought there when I was 14, not to mention memories of conversations with Charles, whom I actually saw at HeroesCon last year. Fort Mill is more driving than I usually feel like doing, so I pretty much stick to Heroes and Rebel Base. Never been to Dave's, though, so I'll have to check it out some time.

I was thinking that maybe those of us who are going could do lunch at Pizzeria Uno on Saturday. It's on Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard (formerly 2nd Street, for those who haven't been in uptown Charlotte for a while), just about 1½ blocks from the Charlotte Convention Center.

Went to Target in Gastonia today Vehicles NONE! And I have been 5 times in the past week and they are no where to be found there. They still have the same comic packs and 2 Buzzers.

TRU has about 4 Lady Jaye, Cobra Soilders, Hooded CC, Beach Head , Serpentor, and of course Buzzer. No more 3 paks and no 5 packs. Comic packs still the same.

I went there on my way to Charlotte today and got the Cobra set. Now I have to wait for the Crimson Guard set to come in, and I'm done with TRU ... until they get some new Heroscape exclusives in-stock. And done with Joe-shopping since I preordered everything announced at HTS or BBTS.

There is a Target near UNCC---do you want me to check there Tuesday for the vehicles?

That would be great, thanks.

I was at that Target on Wednesday and they didn't have any vehicles. Checked both front end caps and toy aisle. I also looked for the SW O66 packs and didn't find any.

Well the Concord TRU was cleaned out yesterday when I dropped by there. They still had a bunch of comics and singles, just no exclusives.

EDIT: I checked the W-S TRU Friday morning shortly after 10AM. They had 2 full sets of 3 packs and one extra Cobra Blue set
