Well you have been a helper before, which I thank you for. I would like to get 1 each of wave 5, but I just keep coming home alone. I was @ that Meijer in Roseville the night before you were, and they didn't have squat on the shelves.

I hear you guys. I've been to 3 targets, 3 walmarts, 3 meijers and a TRU...and have found NOTHING.

Plenty of pegs, just nothing I want on them.

So, needless to say, from Fenton to Flint...zilch.

Unless you need wave 3 and wave 1 CPs, of course.

Hey bvance74, I have two unopened wave 5 figures you can have at $7 ea.

C.I.A.D. which figures are you looking for?

[shipwreak73]

Hey C.I.A.D., if you haven't tried the Walmart in Clio, you might have some luck there. My wife picked up Wave 2 of the CP's for me there last week with some more to spare. I'm sure they are getting single packs in soon too.
If anyone lives in Grand Rapids, the TRU on Alpine had Wave 5, except for any CG.

Mr. Focus you're the F'n man! Guys on this board should take notice of how collectors should act towards one another. Not the every man for himself attitude. Kudos to you!!! Yo Joe!!!

Hey.. great thread - hopefully Target in Battle Creek will restock - they put out 1 case of Wave 4 today minus the Cobra Air Trooper - I didnt have any of these so I bought all 7. Sorry fellas. Dont worry though - I dont troop build and I dont need seconds... if more hit they are all yours... I am on my way to starting wave 5 at this point now.. Problem is - Targets dont have the UPC's in the system with the DPCI so unless the cashier rings these up correctly - they wont restock - the autopull system doesnt know they have been sold. So unless the toy team lead gets their head out of their a$$ and pays attention to the department - we wont see joes until the overnight team gets them on the trucks.

It has been very slim pickings everywhere.. for the last week battle creek hasnt had any news to write home about - Portage has been bone dry as well..

A friend of mine in colorado has started collecting this past weekend and has been out every day since friday with no luck other then 6 random wave 1/2/4 figures that where left on the pegs.

The comic packs are everywhere if anyone needs them - Battle creek target has all of wave 1 comic packs - Walmart on Shaver Rd in Portage had wave 2 destro and drednocks instock on friday.

Jackson didnt have jack squat when I went down on the 16th.

One day last week I saw like 5 crimson guards scattered throughout the flint area. mainly at meijers. I grabbed two that day but left the rest for you guys.

I snagged a roadblock from the corunna road wal mart and am quite pleased with the articulation corrections and the fact his head sculpt looks a little more badass than the 5 pack one.

I'll just say it. Flint really really sucks.

Hey Balance - Just read your post about the mid 80s - hell man back in the mid 90s wasnt too bad either - but I agree - retailers need to learn to stock up - I understand they dont want to get stuck with peg warmers - but come the hell on - you cant sell what you dont have. look at target - 4 dedicated pegs for joes - and these clowns cant get them filled.. 1 little case at a time.. wtf.. FILL The pegs let the people buy what they want.

The worst part is - it is like that with every toy line - I remember a few months back when I was doing TMNT movie figures.. I couldnt find new/good ones to save my life - only after the movie was long gone could you get a turtle - even now - you cant find the first set of figs.

Anyhow - look if you guys want get IRC and hit irc.efnet.org and join the #transformers channel - TONS of toy chat - the ops are a little rough to get along with some days - but we are all good and always sharing latest finds - we all do flickr

Hopefully the drought in the area will be coming to an end soon. I've been checking everywhere in the Canton, Livonia, Westland area a few times a week, with no results. I was so happy when I got a few Crimson Guards last week at Meijer. Everywhere I've been lately at least has pegs for them now. The pegs may be empty, but hopefully they will be fully stocked soon.
