Sightings- Went hunting a bit yesterday, I cant really buy anything 'til after the holidays but well, thrill of the hunt and all that. As of last night, two Flint in Cobra Disguise at Target Westland, Lots of wave 10 at TRU as mentioned, Nothing of note at Walmart Canton. Canton Meijer however had some non-25th Joes that looked funny hanging on the 25th pegs if anyone is interested.

i've decided that the west lansing wal-mart is a complete waste of time. it is close to home, but it is still crammed full of rev. cases, old comic packs, and 5 or 6 of the old battle packs. while the other wal-marts are getting all of this great new stuff, vehicles, new cp's, and waves 10-13, this place just refuses to get anything new........and thats how i feel about that. the end.

Apparently, they are the only store doing so, because of the number of packs they have (10-12 remaining as of 8:00 tonight). And if you bought Pepsi on sale this week at Target you got a $5 gift card, which brought the cost of my pack to $35. If you've been holding off, now is the time!

I'm glad I waited! There were still quite a few left as of 3:00 this afternoon.

Meijers on West Main in Kalamazoo has the little VvV single packs for the same price as the modern era figures. I think they're trying to make all of the Bazookas, Hawks and Wild Bills look like bargains by comparison. Nothing new out here in Kazoo today except some Tiger Force Dukes which is proof that I'm finding someone else's sloppy thirds or fourths...

well, I wouldn't start characterizing the rest of the Lansing area WMs as pots of gold, but yeah, it seems that one is the last in the area to get stuff... it's so hit or miss here. I'm absolutely floored that wave 13 is being seen around here now.

I checked the Howell Walmart this morning hoping to find wave 13. No Luck. They had 1 Cobra Flint and a bunch of revision case figures. The store was having some "Shop with a Cop" thing going on. When I arrived I thought the store was on fire or there had been some kind of abduction or something because there were 15 cop cars out front with their lights and sirens on.

But it was just a bunch of kids being dropped off to go shopping with a cop. I had not seen that many police in one place outside of a mobster movie.

Picked up Eel and Cobra Flint in Okemos today.

TRU in Okemos had blue cobra 3pack exclusives for $8.99. That's it.

Target in South Lansing had Pilot Scarlet.

Pretty picked over.

Btw. J4F doesn't have any other Joe stuff, but they can order the cases of figures through Diamond. I've ordered the last four waves, and have gotten them fine. The last case I got was Wave 12. They figure out to just over $8 bucks a figure, but I don't have to hunt for my 1st set, just my second.

Retail for those extreme sets are $39.99 on the shelves.

Ed and Nick are pretty good guys, you are right.

[d3troit]

i pickedup cobra flit from 16/ deq target and a matt tracker/ eels from vandyke 15 mile target last night. i will try to score the UBP tomorrow at coolidge/ 15 in the am...wife permitting!

So what did you learn?

What goes around comes around.
