Pursuit Of Cobra also spotted at:

Target in Danvers
Target in Millbury
Target in Westboro
TRU in Peabody

I visited many other TRUs and most don't have the single carded figures yet.

Looking for POC Alley vipers, there are never enough left on the shelves (probably since there's only one per case).

Anyone need the TRU exclusives? Willing to trade both of them (Spirit and Quick Kick) for either 3 POC Alley Vipers or 2 Alley Vipers and a Cobra Commander. PM me if interested.

Target Millbury and Leominster were 100% out of figures. Only a couple mech suites and Doom Cycles left as of yesterday.

POC spotted at:

TRU Brockton
Target Easton
Target Watertown

Also, TRU Dedham is now open, they moved to the mall next to Lowes. However I don't recall them having any POC stuff (I was there on Friday).

Funny you mention these places, I just hit all of them up earlier today. Most just had the usual duke, snake eyes an storm shadow but I did find a Cobra Commander at Easton. Used to work in West Bridgewater and hit that Target several times a week, picked up almost all of my 25th collection there.

TRU in Dedham has no figures, I currently work next door and I'm in there literally 3-4 times a day. I also know several employees and one checked the POC skus today and told me that the system shows them on the next truck which will arrive either Thursday or Friday of this week at the earliest.

did a on foot recon of the Everette target (which is weird, according to AT& T they dont exist)
the mechs and The retooled Skyhawk is there, no figures (i bought the last beachhead.

also checked the south bay mall target, Watertown target, Somerville target, K-Mart in Assembly square mall, Both Newbury comics on Newbury street and Fanuel hall, and in 3 New England comics.


Nobody gots nothing..

apparently stores only got one or two cases, if they got anything at all.

Hasbro Toy Shop is also sold out of most of the figs. However they do have the iron men figs in.

the official response:

K-mart: we are resetting the toy aisles
(new joes, marvel figs, and Iron man figs in a week or two)

Target: we're waiting until the distributor sends us more

(we UNDERORDERED, in the stupid reaction of overordering ROC figs, so now we have to order more. So with sellout of product int he last 2 weeks,.. we're gonna flood the aisles with them again in September...)

TRU: I don't know. I never heard of it. but we have plenty of joes on the shelves
(we have undertrained employees who cant simply read the card and tell the difference between POC and ROC, or know what individual products the store sells)

Newbury Comics/ New England comics:

we ordered ours through Diamond, so that will be slightly pricier,.. but By the time everyone else is sold out, we will have them.

[kingofpain26]

also,.. just FYI. We're going Toy Hunting, then going to see the Expendibles and maybe catch a beer on This Comming saturday in Boston,

anyone in the area who wants to tag along, give me a call or a PM!!

Oh man.. I feel your pain brother- I've got the same answers everywhere I've been too. Most I've seen on the shelves is 2 cases at once, and they usually don't last more than a day or two. Temporary underestimation or supplies because of the previous ROC overstock, as you said before. Right now, Targets seem to be the best bet followed by TRUs (despite their idiotic employees). Personally, I've found nothing at any Walmarts or Newbury Comics, but I continue to check anyway. (Newbury Comics does have the new Resolute sets, but at $50 a pop you might as well get them offline for cheaper).

Best advice I can give to you is to take a day trip or an afternoon deep into the central/western part of Massachusetts, I did this last weekend and within 2 days I had doubles of every single-carded figure plus a few extras for trade. My intuition tells me that the big stores around the Boston area will be hit the hardest (just based on population density) but I haven't searched in Boston so I can't be sure of that. Outskirts and Worcester area seem to be the way to go and they also get freight before the coastal areas do.

Which POC figures are you looking for? I can help you out with any of them except the Alley Viper. PM me and we can meet up and exchange the goods if you need anything. Good luck!

POC GI Joe figures at Dartmouth, Ma. Walmart if any of you guys need them.. Thought I'd let you know...

[Shadow Ninja]

I have an extra Firefly if anyone needs him..
