I usually post in the CT board but I'm as close to a Mass tanker as you get (I live in Enfield, about 2 miles from the MA border).
If anyone has a wave 4 Destro, General Hawk and Shadow Tracker they are looking to get rid of at retail let me know. Since everyone here seems to be so keen about grabbing rare figures and not 'scalping them' ![]() My area has been DRY for Joes forever. Wall Mart in East Windsor had 3 cases of wave 1 30th, of which the only thing left are 2 Stalkers. I never did see any of the Low Light wave on pegs here.

My apologies, I meant to reply to Air-tight, took me longer to write my reply and you had made a post before I hit submit.

Sorry man- that paint app comment wasn't meant to be a personal jab at you! I remembered after I posted it that you actually have had experiences with that and felt bad. I was honestly just listing that, and package condition as common examples of why people sometimes pass on figures that to me don't seem as important (I can easily touch up a messy figure in my workshop and also open most of mine except for one of each character, so card condition seldom is a deal breaker for me either). But I'd have to agree with you if I was in the position of buying just one of everything and wanted the most perfect representation of it as possible. I've noticed that at times like these, beggars can't be choosers though, so snatch up any joes that you find!
![]() As for the conditon of packaging, I only care about the box of a specific item if it's fairly new and can be found in better condition, if the packaging is limited/special edition, or if I'm spending a lot of money on it. I've bought some stuff that was dinged and smashed with no issues or regrets. To me, as long as the item inside is new and undamaged I'm okay with it. As for touch-ups, since I don't have the time, paints, or know-how, I try to avoid having to touch up figures altogether, unless it involves black or silver details. At most, I've only cleaned up and filled in the black areas on clone/stormtopper helmets, hands, and bodies. I try to only buy 1 of a figure I want so I save money to spend on other figures I may also want. And that's pretty much that. ![]()

No kidding, 2 offers in less than 15 minutes ![]() Let me know if you're looking for anything whilst I'm out and about. They haven't stocked wave 2 (as of last night)

Distribution is either terrible around me or someone is snagging them all before I even SEE them. I don't even see pegs that say JOE on them, so who knows. Probably going to have to order the Renegades figures off BBTS. I hope once the new movie drops, retailers will go Joe crazy like the last, fingers crossed they are better than the last movie figures.

I want to see the wave 2 Renegades figures before I buy them. Other than them the only Joes I need are from POC wave 5 and I'm hoping those start showing up at discount stores. My main hunting right now is Star Wars. Looking for Vintage wave 9 Bastilla Shan, Hoth Rebel, and the pilot in the red jumpsuit. For Clone Wars Riot Control Clone plus most of the new figures from waves 10, 11, 12.
