Wow, I was heartbroken to enter the first "real retailer" in my new neighborhood only to find NOTHING.

Meijer on M21 & Shiawasee has not one Joe item :(

They did have plenty of TFs & SW though...go figure :rolleyes:

Dude, it kills me how close you are to me! You might have been a little farther before, but the fact that product was that close, I could taste it, was driving me insane. I think the fact that I just missed the stuff is splitting me in two, though! I am glad its here, but the fact I can't drive to Saginaw/Bay City every morning at 9am to check, or go at 2-3am is making me stir crazy.

So... this morning I called the two Saginaw Wal-Marts, and the one in Bay City.

First, the WM by the Saginaw Mall... they directed my call to sporting goods, and the guy there was very helpful, he offered to go check for me, because there was no one in Toys (huh?). Well, he came back on the line and informed me that they carried no GI Joe product. Uh... then what were the w7 Snake Eyes and Duke w/ Flag I bought yesterday? Its not his fault though, so I just thanked him and hung up.

I called the one on State St. and immediately had a much better conversation. Even though I was directed to sporting goods again (where are the Toys employees?) The employee informed me that they did not receive anything last night, however. So, of course I thanked them and hung up.

The one in Bay City, as soon as I got on the phone told me that they were "not sure if they even had any, they didn't sell well". Well, that's a valid statement, but I know the store has them, I just saw some the day before, and they didn't walk away. So, the woman gets back on the line a minute or two later, and informs me they they "had absolutely no GI Joes, not even space for them". Oh... uh. I guess so? Again, it wasn't her fault, really, there are a lot of toys, and the space in this store is kind of hard to spot. So, thanking her I hung up once more. So much for saving gas.

I ended up driving to Bay City anyway, and walked inside. Of course I found the same figures I had found the day before (Two w7 Snake Eyes, Duke w/ Flag and a couple Scarletts and Cobra Air Troopers) but hey, at least they didn't get rid of the display in the 24 hrs. since I was last there! I ended up picking up a Snake Eyes and the Duke w/ Flag. The woman running the Self-Checkout was also awesome, because she price matched to Meijer, with a receipt I keep in my wallet, with no problems! Hooray for $5.99 Joes @ Wal-Mart and Meijer.

I was headed back for Bay City for Mothers Day, and I made some stops.

My mom was at the wal-mart in Saginaw, when i had her check and she said 4 CAT's and a ton of comic packs were there

wa,-mart in bay city i found a wave 7 SE hiding, which I grabbed, thanks for leaving it Iron-spiderman.

Target in bay city, had no wave 7, just some wave 3 figures if i remember correctly

target in midland, more wave 3 figures and no wave 7

wal-mart in midland had wave 4 figs..as if we haven't seen enough of those, and some wave 1/2 figures, but the weren't the revision packs

my wal-mar tin mt. pleasant go tin a cases of wave 3 revision comic packs, just what we didn't need. And we still have 3 buzzers, and some serpentors and stalkers.

i also noticed a few figures had there packaging bent and such, and this just bothers me, nobody wants a bent card.

Are you guys done now? So we can get back to what this thread was really meant for? This conversation should have been handled via Private Messages. And shdwknt you should have stayed out of this, this was between Chindogg and Iron Spider-Man. Who again, should have taken it to PM's instead of junking up this thread with just about the dumbest "conversation" I've seen to date.

Listen up, because apparently a baby sitter is needed:


#1 - NO ONE HERE HAS ANY TERRITORY. THIS ISN'T THE WILD WEST. IF I DRIVE SOMEWHERE, FIND SOMETHING...IT'S MINE. IF I HAPPEN TO BE IN YOUR AREA, AND RETURN SOMETHING...WAH.

I'm so tired of the internet bravado.


#2 - READ THE THREAD TITLE - MICHIGAN SIGHTINGS. Get it? Michigan sightings. Not Michigan Rants, Michigan "Territory discussion"....MICHIGAN SIGHTINGS.

I saw X at store X. I saw Y at store Y.

I went to Midland Wal-Mart today, to make some returns, and found a Crimson Guard! Not sure where it came from, but hey, I'm not complaining. They also look like they got a couple helmeted Cobra Commanders or Cobra Air Troopers they didn't have before. Not sure, but the count is back up to 19, 21 with my returns (Beachhead and Camo Storm Shadow, if anyone needs them).

I went to Meijer, to return something else, and they didn't have anything, of course. Mailed a trade off, though! (I returned a Zartan w/o color change sticker/logo)

I was initially not going to go to Target, but something inside of me said, "Hey, its on the way". So, I went. As I was coming up, I saw Wild Bill. Wait, what? Sure enough, Midland Target got in a case of wave 7! They didn't have Duke when I got there, but they had every other figure. I got Spirit Iron Knife, the HISS Driver, and the two Vipers. I left the two Snake Eyes and Wild Bill, so if anyone needs them, they're at the Midland Target!

Finally, Wave 7 arrives! Found one set of Wave 7 at the new Canton Target on Michigan Ave. today. Picked up one of each, along with an extra Snake Eyes for my brother. There is one Duke w/flag left, along with Snow Job, and a couple of Scarlett's and Buzzer's.
On a side note, the Motor City Comic Con is this weekend at the Rock Financial Showplace in Novi. Not sure if I can make it yet, but for those of you who can make it down there, they usually have some tables with Transformers and Joes.

I just found some Wave 7 at the Target on Van Dyke between 15 & 16 mile. 2 SE, 2 Vipers & a Duke around 5:30 PM today. I'm sure someone would like them.

I've been to the Walmart in Trenton?, the Target in Madison Hts, the Target in Sterling Heights on 16 mile, & the Meijer on Van Dyke today, & they have pretty much nothing worth your while.

I think Wave 7 has been the easiest for me to find, or at least easier than the preceding waves before me. Granted I'm still missing Spirit & Wild Bill, but I lucked out on the other 4 a lot quicker than previous waves. Hopefully this just means that future waves will be even more plentiful.

I'll be at Motor City Comic COn this weekend. If the toy gods are smiling on me this day, I'll be carrying around a Flash & I'll be smiling!!
Still short on FLint as well, but Flash holds way more nostalgic value to me as he was the first original Joe I owned when I was 5 or something...

[shdwknt]

Battle Creek Target and Portage Target - both HAD wave 7...

Battle creeks target has a viper and a Snake eyes with fucked up card.

Target in portage has nothing left..

I've always found good hunting at the Wal*Mart & Target off of the Owen Road Exit on US23N. That is where I found all of wave 3 in multiples, including my Yellow Stalker. If you guys are in the area, I'd definitely check it out ;)
