Awesome tip!

Stopped by @ lunch and snagged 1 each of the 5-Packs and a IG Destro to keep MOSC. Only 1 Ninja pack left, no Night Watches left. Still a [email protected] of single packs, but beware- after work I may go and buy up all the SeiGies and Troopers...

Hello, everyone! I'm new here, so I thought I'd share the results of my (unlucky) travels yesterday for all the other Louisville-area collectors:

I should mention that most of these places have comic 2-packs, but I've got all of those already so I don't pay much attention to specifics. Of all the stores I hit, I'd say only 1 or 2 didn't have any, and most had several on the pegs.

Outer Loop Target: no singles

Outer Loop Toys R Us: 3 Elite Air Troopers, no exclusives (NOTE: All of their 25th Joe selection is on a small endcap, not in the normal military toy area.)

Outer Loop Wal-Mart (by Jeff Mall): no singles

Shepherdsville Wal-Mart: no singles

Outer Loop Wal-Mart (by New Cut Rd): no singles,

So there you have it. Lots of driving and not much luck. I didn't even bother with the Elite Air Troopers because I've already got 10 and I haven't even opened 5 of them yet. No need to stockpile beyond what I'm going to use.

I plan on hitting a few more places around the Ville later this week, so I'll keep everyone posted.

EDIT: I hit the new Wal-Mart on the Greenbelt Highway too. They have no single figs, but one each of the 2-packs for Ace/WW, Fred/Scarface, and Destro/Breaker.

Well, I braved the rainy weather to hit several stores on the east end of Louisville. Here's the results from today's excursion:

TARGET (off Shelbyville Rd/Hubbards Ln):
Bought: 0
Singles Left: Cobra Commander (Hood) x3, Shipwreck x2, Buzzer x2, Elite Air Trooper x1
2-Packs Left: Crimson Twins x1, S-E(Damage)/SS x1, Fred/Scarface x1, Ace/WW x1, Scarlet/Hawk x1

TOYS R US (Shelbyville Rd):
Bought: 0
Singles Left: 0
2-Packs Left: tons of Waves 1-3
Exclusives: 0 (but there is some shelf space cleared, and a sticker for "Officer 3-Pack")

TARGET (Taylorsville Rd @ Hurtsborne Ln):
Bought: Cobra Trooper x2
Singles Left: Buzzer x11 (no joke!), Cobra Commander (Hood) x1, Serpentor x1
2-Packs Left: Scarlet/Hawk x2, Duke/CC x1

TARGET (Bardstown Rd):
Bought: Cobra Officer x1
Singles Left: Serpentor x1, Buzzer x1, Snow Job x1, Stalker x1, Shipwreck x1, CC (Hood) x1
2-Packs Left:

WAL-MART (Bardstown Rd):
Bought: 0
Singles Left: 0
2-Packs Left: Scarlet/Hawk x2

Whew! That's all for today. It was nice to find another Cobra Officer (that's only the third I've ever seen at retail) and some more Troopers.

Hope this is helpful to some of you guys...at least it might save you some gas! I'll be sure to post more results next time I'm out.

Picked up one of the Crimson Guard and the Joe Officer 3-packs at the TRU on Shelbyville Rd. Those were the only ones of those two they had, but I left the following...

1x Cobra Officer 3-pack
2x Snake-Eyes vs. Red Ninja 5-pack
2x Cobra Night Watch 5-pack

The 3-packs are $13.99 each and the 5-packs are $24.99.

Happy hunting!

Anyone been asking about the Target stuff. I'm pretty much in no man's land for Targets here, but Lousville's only an hour away.

[12OunceEpilogue]

Nada here in Louisville. Went out looking today. Street date is April 14th, and they'll probably be pretty firm about it around here (unless you are in with the crew members, which I'm not).

[Hicks_Royel]

Kinda what I figured... which is good and bad. Guess it means we all get a fighting chance. Guess it also means we oughta start deciding who goes to which store on the 13th... heh.

I honestly think that the 4/13 date is confusing the average employee because as far as I'm reading, that's just a suggested "release by now" date and they're not catching that. Kinda like buying milk, you know?

[12OunceEpilogue]

It's been mostly Buzzers to be found around here lately. To be fair, I do have everything up to this point and am waiting to see the Spirit wave, but it's been slooooooooooow around here lately as far as I'm concerned.

[Hicks_Royel]

Agreed. Course, I've yet to see wave 6 around the Frankfort area. Always seem to just miss it. Plenty of all the comic packs though.

[Colder Soldier]

I just hit up the Bashford Manor Target (in Louisville) and got some exclusive vehicles. Fair warning: Don't go there looking for any. Good luck to everyone because on the case packs, it states the number of cases currently shipped. Only 314. Hopefully that won't be all of them.
