Wow, I didn't realize there are so many members here in the area. Cool. I'm used to being the only one in this area on forums.

Guess I've just flat out missed wave 7 every time. Oh well, I just preordered it for a little insurance.

Saturday's run turned up nothing Joe related. Did grab a few Indy items though.

If you drive through Wilmington somehow, we have Fanboy Comics on Wrightsville and Memory Lane on Oleander. Fanboy seems to be a bit bigger, and Memory Lane is only open 3 or 4 days a week. No toy shops here though.

I make somewhat regular trips to Myrtle Beach. They don't have anything really. There's Heroes Hangout, who tends to be a bit pricey as they are in the mall. There is also a second location near Surfside Beach, probably not worth the gas though. Apocalypse Comics is slightly north of Myrtle Beach but may be worth a stop. Again, no specialty toy stores.

Which one would that be? Fanboys?

Hey, I appreciate that. Thanks man.

Still makin' the rounds in Raleigh and still coming up empty-handed.

Target, North Hills: Haven't restocked since wave 1 comic packs. No singles.

Target, Capital: Wave 1 comic packs, no singles.

Target Greatland, Capital: Some mixed wave comic packs, but no wave 4. Couple of Buzzers.

Target, Knightdale: Wave 1 comic packs, no singles.

Super Wal-Mart, New Bern Ave.: Restocked wave 3 comic packs. No singles yet.

Wal-Mart, Knightdale: Have a ludicrous amount of wave 3 comic packs. Only 2 Roadblocks for singles, though.

It drives me crazy whenever I see spottings in other states, but it takes about a month before they start showing up in this neck of the woods. I still have yet to find all of wave 7. Ugh.

[Shogi]

For all the Triad peeps:

Don't even try Greensboro today! There's nothing new

TARGETS:
Wendover - NOTHING
New Garden - Buzzer X2
Lawndale - NOTHING
All had some comics from waves 1-3

WALLY WORLDS:

A little luck in Wilmington this morning. Found some remnants of wave 7 this morning, the first time I’ve seen them.

Also scored the new wave 4 comic packs at a Walmart. Grabbed Copperhead/Shipwreck, Firefly/SS, and Duke/Red Star, so the new comic packs have made there way into Wilmington also.

[lookinglasself]

A single case of Wave 8 was found tonight in Wilmington by a friend. Wave 4 CP's are out (as mentioned above) as well.

Major Bludd is the only figure in Wave 8 that I want.

[Eopie Herder]

I was just about to say the same thing about wave 8.

[Homer]

Stopped by the Carolina Beach Walmart this morning, nothing but picked over leftovers from yesterday. All new wave 4 comic packs gone, no sign of any new wave 7 or wave 8 figs.

[Griffix]

Found wave 8 this morning at the Wal-Mart on South Tryon and I485 in Charlotte. They also had a complete set of wave 7. No wave 4 comic packs though.

[Raginspoon]

Found Wave 7 and 8 at the Wal-mart on 85/elm in Greensboro. I took the only python patrol soldier and 2 vipers. Everything else was still there including vipers.

[Shogi]

Salisbury K-mart has some of wave 7
Salisbury Walmart has a lot of wave 8 (no Bludds)
