oh.. well...

yeah I've given up to, I've been laid off for 3 weeks now so cabin fever is starting to set in, so I had to get out and strech my legs a bit

Did some hunting today, mostly because I haven't been on a good hunt in a while, and here are the results!

Portage-
Westnedge Rd.-
Meijers-Why did I even bother???
Kohls-Nothing good
T.J.Maxx-Nothing good(was hoping for another Marvel Legends variant like last time in Jackson when I found the variant X3 Jean Grey...no such luck this time)
Toys R Us-Dissapointing as usual, unless you need a gigantic army of 25th vipers
Kmart-Broke As A Joke
Target-Brand new The Clone Wars animated figures (Count Dooku & IG-86/Bought both) and $2.74 Indiana Jones Mighty Muggs (2 Mola Rams and 1 Cairo Swordsman/Bought both Mola Rams)
Shaver Rd.-
Walmart-Nothin' but revision figures
Meijers-Nothin' but revision figures
Kalamazoo-
Stadium Dr.-
Kmart-Big Fat Goose Egg
Family Dollar-$2 Vvs.V figures in old packaging
Kohls-Nothin' but wishful thinking
Target-Hopin' for more Clone Wars or cheap IJ Mighty Muggs, but that wasn't happenin'
Meijers-SURPRISE!!!...Nothing, except for a tore up Firebat...Boooo!!!
Walmart-Nothing of real interest except for a new sidecap going up of revision figures (SE w/Timber, SS, Flint(from first wave), and Beachhead) and another tore up Firebat...BOOOO!!!
Gull Rd.-
Meijers-ANOTHER, Yes, ANOTHER Ninja-Kicked Firebat and Sharctooth...WTF?!?! Are these made damaged?!?! I have yet to see either one of these vehicle sets in decent enough condition for a MIB collector to want to buy!
Walmart-New Spectacular Spiderman animated style figures (Lizard, Electro, Black SM w/jetpack/winged backpack, and regular SM(new sculpt)/Bought the only Lizard and Electro and a regular SM)
Galesburg-
Dollar General-Not sure exactly what I was expecting to find here...
Battle Creek-
Beckley Rd.-
Target-Same old nothin'
Walmart-I think this Walmart and Target got together and decided to join forces in driving all of the action figure business in town to outlying cities and online retailers.

This was a fun run, not only because I actually found some new stuff (unfortunately no joes), but because it was nice to get out and do a little hunting after not having done a good run like this for a while. Now I get to sit and wait for UPS to deliver my wave 11 and 12 cases today. Yipee!!!

I noticed a lot of people in other states are finding wave 10 figures at Kohls. Anybody here in MI find them? The last time I was at the stores around me all they had was Star Wars stuff, but I haven't checked them in quite a few months.

I have been hitting the Kohl's in Lansing pretty hard with the $5 coupons and I have not seen any G.I. Joe figures at either the Okemos or West Lansing ones :(

My w10 came from BBTS along with my w8, w9, w11 and w12.

I have personally checked 3 different Kohls (Battle Creek. Portage, and Kalamazoo) and there were no wave 10 figures to be found. I have also called 3 other kohls in the Grand Rapids area. 2 of them told me they didn't carry G.I. Joes and the other one said they did carry G.I. Joes, but I'd have to see that before I'd believe it.

I did another short run last night on the other side of Battle Creek.

20th St.-
Dollar Tree-Crapolla
Family Dollar-Nothing good
Big Lots-Nothing good

Columbia Ave.-
Meijers-Same old nothing
Dollar General-2 cases of the recarded VvsV figures. There are 12 figures total, 2 of each figure in each case. I picked up a full set of 12, along with the cardboard displayer they came in, for about $40 after tax. Not a bad deal for 12 figures. The figures are kinda crappy lookin', but the new packaging is what sold me on them. That and the fact that toys are like crack to me!

maybe a little bit closer to x-mas, seems like michigan is the last priority for distrubution

Wanted to give a quick shout out to ma' boy Shdwknt for hooking me up with my much awaited regular Wraith and another Croc Master (which I opened(1st of the new joes that I've opened/was one of my favorites as a kid))! I know he's got several extras of the wave 10 figures that he's looking to part with if anyone is interested.
