NKY Area:
Florence TRU has a sh!tload of Snow Serpents and Bench Press. Also the Florence KMart has wave 5 figs but was pretty cleaned out when I got there. I ended up with the Arctic Threat SS. They still had Jungle Ripcord if anyone is interested in that turd.

Anyone pestered a Target employee about looking for the wave 2 deluxe exclusives? I was disappointed to find only the wave one vehicles out at the "new" Westport Road store yesterday. Had two of the Rescue Mission sets though.

Well, I didn't think to stop by the KMart, but thanks for the heads up on the TRU Exclusives, Puckman. They're now less another Benchpress, four of the Snow Serpents and that RAM/Flight Pod set with the fixed arm Breaker.

Awesome!

I'm still thinking about nabbing a couple more Benchpress's for that custom Sgt. Slaughter while he is still readily available. Maybe I'll wait for a sale

That's exactly what my second Bench Press is for. The skin tone's a little off and there's the issue of the tattoo, but I'm willing to live with both unless Sgt. Stone's forearms match in color.

Now all I have to do is take the time to dremel out Slaughters head to accept the neck post.

I like that TRU though, it seems... better somehow. And really, by the time I drive to Lexington twice only to find nothing, I can make the trip up to Florence before work.

I think I read that the tattoo can be removed really easily with rubbing alcohol without damaging the plastic, might be worth checking out. If it's one thing I'm sorry I didn't know about until it was too late its BnB Slaughter, I'd love to make him a Joe again :\

I prefer that store to any in my area. They are the only one that had the black coat Rex wave when it came out and I was able to get him and the Arctic Stormy that day. Unfortunately, I haven't seen that wave since, but their selection is better than the other TRUs around.

If I see anything new show up, I'll post it here so you can save your gas. Also, if there is anything you are looking for, let me know and if I see it, I can stash it in a strategic location for ya

Dude, that'd be great. And likewise, man.

Found both of the 5 packs this morning @ Toys R Us Florence. Had about 2-3 of each remaining..

Hicks_Royel · 10-28-2009, 03:15 PM

Five Packs as in the RoC ones? Really? Huh.
