Briar Creek Target had 1 Copperhead vs Shipwreck Comic Pack (wave 4). No Single Packs. Crossroads Target in Cary had nada (not even peg warmers which is cool). I'll try and make a Target Tour today.

Market St. Wally World had the remnants of two wave 8 cases.

Carolina Beach WM just stocked 2 or 3 fresh cases of wave 8 as of 9am this morning. There were still a couple of Major Bludd’s, Vipers, Arctic Snake Eyes, and one Python Patrol Officer in addition to the other wave 8 goodies left.

They also still have the new wave 4 comic packs except the Duke/Red Star.

I picked up a Copperhead/Shipwreck. One more CH/SW and FF/SS remain. All of the Wave 8 stuff you saw was gone already.

I'm seeing more and more SW stuff going to the clearance aisle as well.. saw some of the evolutions packs for $10.

Which Evolutions packs were there?

[Homer]

Carolina Beach WM has nothing but Jedi Evolutions packs. They also have the WM exclusive Jabba's singers/band sets for $15.

They also have an endcap loaded with the new Transformers Animated for those interested.

They sold all of the singles, LGS? Damn, looks like it'll be 2 more weeks before that store restocks :P Glad I picked up a few this morning.

The Sith and Jedi packs, I believe. Not 100% sure.

Yep, everything was gone except two Wave 4 CC's. There are quite a few collectors that work at that store (that I know of), so new stuff doesn't last too long there.

And at Market St. you have to deal with the fact that the Toy Mgr at that store has a "deal" with a guy who owns a card shop, which makes it IMPOSSIBLE to find McFarlane Sports Picks there and very hard to find Star Wars. The Store Managers have known about it for years and are unable or unwilling to do anything about it. I've been trying to get a large group of people to call the district manager but I can't get a large enough group that would make a difference.

That’s crap. Plus the fact that the Mgr has a deal? I wonder what kind of deal?

I know the card shop guy you are talking about. He’s a freaking sack.

Not that I give a shit about Hot Wheels, but you can see him and some 80 year old fart every morning at 8am sharp at Target and Market Walmart picking through all of the Hot Wheels and other collectibles with their lists in hand.

I used to collect baseball cards and quit about 10+ years ago. I went to his shop quite a few times back in the day. He’s a crook. I refused to give him my business, then got out of the hobby altogether shortly after.

For what its worth, sign me up, I’ll call.
