They had a bunch of the Falcon/NE and Tripwire/CC comic packs at the Walmart in Westborough as of about a half hour ago. All the Destro's are gone. At least five or more of the others still there, along with a bunch of that same revision listed above...

Thanks for the tip Darth Jay!!

My brother & I made a special trip to that WM after your post & picked up the Falcon/Nemesis Enforcer pack we BOTH needed. He also grabbed the Python Officer.
And he picked up to more Pythons for his troops at another WM today that had 2 fresh cases of the that wave 8 revision.
Again big thanks my friend!!

Picked up the Greenshirts and Crimson Guard sets at the Dedham TRU tonight... still one of each left as of 7PM. Bellingham TRU still has the two older box sets, no new ones.

Milford Target has a full case of the new Wave 9 revision out... the one with Flash in it. Still a BAT and Serpent there... not touching them at 7.99 though.

So I finally managed all 3 Wave 5 comic packs ... 3 differnt stores mind you (thanks to the tip from Darth Jay & my brother & I wrangling the other 2)... who's having luck with the new TRU 5-packs? My local one still hasn't got anything new in & I've been hitting it daily.

Well I saw that one of my local Targets had the Rattler/Conquest pack today & I convinced my manager to give me an extra hour lunch so I could go get them. I raced down to the Target (45 min.) & checked the front endcaps & saw nothing, came around the Joe aisle to see 3 fellas waiting nearby, see nothing in the asile & head back to see 1 of the guys get handed 2 huge boxes, 1 Rattler, 1 Conquest. I said "I was just looking for those." The Target woman types them in her handheld device & says "That's it, & none in back & none of the other nearby stores have them either." I think his 2 friends may have wanted a set too... So I start walking away, the fellow (possibly a Tanker) who scored the set was nice enough to ask me if I needed the dcpi etc. I told him I had it & thanks, & that he made a good score... I would have stayed & chatted but I had to get back to work.
So if you were a Tanker up in Westborough Target today around noon, thanks again, I was the other guy looking...

I called that store and they told me they didn't have any (when online said they did even though it was about 12:45 and you're saying noon) and that "the items were a time sensitive item that wouldn't be available until the 9th (tomorrow)".

Interesting...
They did have one case Fast_Draw my friend, as I saw it with my own 2 eyes, & when I got back to work around 1pm, the Schuman site said "out of stock at that store", so the site is pretty accurate. We'll all just have to keep checking the site if you want to get these in store. It was a lucky find for the guy who got it, as that device the Target woman had said there was no more for any of us currently available. The boxes where huge, & hopefully there will be more in our area soon.

Yeah, I have been watching at work every day, saving my break times in hopes it will pop up. The second it does I am right by the Millbury Target and I am flying there. Cool that you snagged the Falcon/NE CP. Glad to help.

I managed to snag the Crimson Guard pack last week at the TRU in Framingham. It was all they had...

For anyone that has the Roddy Piper figure that may want to get it signed, he is going to be in Worcester the weekend of October 10-12 at the Rock and Shock convention:

:::Rock & Shock 2008:::Guests

I love this festival, not because I am a horror fan or anything, but because I end up going covering it every year and shooting photos
