I know alot of people don't get the whole driving in circles thing, but the economic impact of the track and the teams in the area are vital to the Charlotte-Metro area. With 90% of the teams based in the area it effects alot of jobs and that effects alot of income. I'm not defending racing, but it's here and it draws way more money than people would believe. Enough of this though.

BTW, I haven't found Wild Bill, or HISS driver. Anybody know where in the Charlotte area these are hanging around??

Oh, I realize it's great for the local economy (much bigger impact in Mooresville, but still good for us), which is why I fully supported the city's fight for the Hall Of Fame, even though it's stupid and totally not a sport. I just mean that for my own selfish reasons, I'd rather have the hockey team here, because I would actually go to NHL games. I won't even go on the entire northeast side of town for two weeks when the racing stuff comes to Concord.

I've seen Wild Bill left behind at two Wal-Mart stores. The Arboretum was one, but I don't remember the other one.

Yeah, I lived in Concord for 11 years and when the racing comes to town we would stay home. Don't even try to go out to eat and don't get caught on I-85 anywhere near the speedway. I actually lived about 3 miles from Cannon Village where the Dale Sr. statue is, and no matter when you went by there's people standing around. It's like a racing pilgrimage. Freaky....

Has anybody checked the Wal-Mart at University or the one on Hwy 74 near Steel Creek Rd??

University Wal-Mart didn't get any wave 7 the night other stores did, although I did get a chase Batman figure from the Movie Masters Dark Knight line there.

Wake Forest Road WalMart has at least 60 or 70 Joes. No wave 7 though. They have at least 6 or 7 of each wave 6, IG Destro, Snow Job, Cobra Troopers, Cobra Elite Air Troopers.

[GIshawn]

Has anyone seen any Wave 7 in or near Greensboro?

[vadersquest]

Hey guys, as of right now the Wally off of Brookshire blvd (near 485) has several wave 7 snake eyes, a few wild bills and 1 Spirit. They also had some of wave 6 and 5

Nope!
(Other than my one sighting on the west side of Winston-Salem this weekend)

Today's GSO search:

Wal (Wendover) - a couple of wave 5 figures (Probably extras from wave 6)
Wal (Battleground) - Same wave 6 and wave 4 figures. (On a sad note, the glorious 8 pegs they had for single figures has now been reduced to 4 pegs to make room for Iron Man and Indiana Jones toys :( )
Target (Lawndale) - an Air Trooper and a Cobra Soldier
Target (Wendover) - Lots of Troopers, some wave 5/6 figures and Buzzers
Target (New Garden) - Some Troopers
K-Mart - NOTHING!

Big fat zero wave 7 spottings in Raleigh, still.

I found mine at Randleman last Friday, and saw remnants (WB, Duke, SE) at Asheboro last night. High Point WalMart had a Snake Eyes on the shelf yesterday too. I haven't seen anything actually in Greensboro, but I don't shop around my own city that much anymore.
