It wasn't me - I got there around 4:45 - forgot my flipping wallet - back to la hacienda - they held A Ship/CC set, a SS/SIK set, Deathstroke, and Hush for me. Picked those up - tried the Livonia TRU - and at that point it was seeming like the ole' Trailblazer is on death's door so tomorrow might go buy an F-150 or to check Southfield TRU. 1 step forward - approximately 45,000 steps back.

I'll tell you what...I'm glad I snagged a Gung-Ho set on ebay for $30. I was 15 minutes late to my Novi store this morning, and the rest of the two packs were there, so I grabbed a Shippy and Stormy pack. Was hoping for another Gung-Ho pack to use for customs; oh well.

No vehicles at all, so maybe they will order more figure packs?

I was up in Port Huron yesterday for work and scored the Marine Devastation 2 pack at TRU.

I think that set is going to be next-to impossible to find. Why it is only packed 1 per case makes absolutely I no sense to me.

Anyway, good luck to you all and happy hunting.

Well woke up early got to the Okemos TRU as they got them on last nights truck according to the manager (whom I know as I worked with him prior) got there 20 minutes after opening to find everything gone both cases of two packs they got as well as vehicle sets, total bullshit that people have to take more than they need just to comp their costs by selling the ret on eBay, thanks guy!

Dumb, too, as ebay prices aren't even worth the return in this case. :/

Exactly, and as I said all I want are two of the gung ho figure, could care less about the black Crimson guard.

That Gung Ho - in particular replaces the Alpine on ebay. IE $80 price due to short packing that can be "solved" via the 60th anniversary set.

[Marine-73]

See! This is proof of scalpers and resellers!!!! 6 Xs the shelf price for one figure out of a two pack, and the other figure is an army builder. I have always been a Hasbro supporter thru thick and thin but this time I'm really pissed at their marketing dept decision to short pack a much wanted character with a troop builder to 1 per case while putting 2 of that shitty ass CC. And shipwreck or the blowtorch and croc master which we all know will be the peg warmers!!!
You have to ask WTF !!!???? Really dropped the ball on this one big time Hasbro.

That's my local TrU and I can assure you it wasn't me. I bought a case from Entertainment Earth as a safeguard against just this sort of thing. I would actually like to get two to three more Shadow Guards, so if I happen to stumble upon any more Gung Ho two packs, I'll hook you up.

I only want one single figure out of all of the three packs - Alpine. Shit like this frustrates me, because I'm sure I'll have the same problem getting him when those hit retail. People who do this shit to make essentially a pittance on eBay can kiss my ass.

The Toys R Us on 28th Street in Grand Rapids has 7 DatD sets on the shelf, but none of the newer stuff. I'd love to pick up several of those rafts and jeeps, but I don't have the money or the storage. Hopefully there are some folks out there who can benefit and pick up that nice set now that I've posted it. I also checked the Alpine store in Walker, just north of G.R. They had 5 POC Blowtorches and one of the New Python Croc/brown and green Blowtorch set. I looked it over and decided to keep my money. It's there if anyone in the area wants it.

Has anyone seen the three packs or the new vehicles in Michigan yet?
