I have no doubt I'll hear about it later this evening.

By the way, Python Puckman, Rsneal... Rsneal, Python Puckman; you two need to talk about Benchpress figures.

Haha! Benchpress figures I can find. It's that damn Sgt Slaughter head that I can't find with a search warrant. Oh well, at least the BP figure is cool enough in its own right with that big ass chainsaw.

You rock, dude!

I have been running around all day, literally hitting every WalMart in town! Westport Rd then Shelbyville Rd, (did not look in the "Christmas Shop") Hourstbourne lane, Bardstown/Gene Snyder, Bashford, then back out to Preston, New Cut, Dixie Hwy, then New Albany and then finally Clarksville where I found and bought the lone "Missile Battery w/ Tele and Neo Viper..."

Got home somewhat happy to have found just the one when I saw your post and went straight out to Shelbyville Rd (again...) Picked up the other three I needed plus an extra "Cobra Outpost." They have lots of these left out there- Christmas shop is where lawn & garden would be, right as you walk in they are on the bottom shelf, all the way to the right, facing you as you walk in from the rest of the store.

If I had been as bright as chickenbroth and had seen them earlier today the first time I went through that store I could have saved about four hours and $15 in gas... But I'm happy nonetheless with all the old- school mini playset goodness!

There's a Christmas Store Section? Man, my local Wal-Marts must be way behind...

Gotta meet Wesitron in... four hours out in Middletown though.

Still no wave two Target Exclusives though, eh? That's disappointing.

Wave 2 deluxe figs are just a figment of our imagination. They don't exist.

I actually found them I think it was last weekend at the "new" St Matthews Target, picked up a set of 4 + an extra "Serpent Armor" set... I left at least 1 complete set. I had gone into the office for a couple hours on Saturday morning to catch up on work and rewarded myself afterwords with a couple toy hunt stops on the way home. I neglected to post at the time, sorry, I normally post any find. But rest assured, they have been here.

[Hicks_Royel]

Son of a bitch... Not at you Snackrabbit, just at the situation itself.

I mean really, come on, Target, you're killing me here. I hate going into St Matthews.

I just want a Complete set. Maybe an extra SNAKE and jetpack. But what do I find? Friggin Grandslam and his glider. I guess I'm gonna have to break down and ask someone in Lexington if they have anything in the back. Ah well...

I did pick up another Out post and Missile System out in Middletown this morning. I think this is my favorite version of Scrap-iron so far.

Thanks to those who pointed out the Giant Christmas Land set-up that my tunnel vision has ignored completely up till this point.

Hope you enjoy your Man-Bat, Wesitron. Thanks again for picking up the Red/Blue Goliath for me.

[wesitron]

hey no worries mate I appreciate it heartily. Imperiex finally has a left arm and my display has a kickass villain flying over the others.
damn i forgot to check that walmart christmas section when i was out there, ill have to check around here and see if weve got the same setup. isort of get tunnel vision when i walk into a walmart

[snackrabbit]

I was just out at the St Matthews Target for kitty food and they still have a Stratoviper w/ jetPack and Wet Suit with Jet Ski thing...

LOL I hear ya, man. I've been telling myself for a couple years now that the "hunt" has gotten old and I'm going bigbadtoystore and ebay only... maybe for my New Year's resolution... meanwhile... anybody see any wave 4/5?

I've seen Wave 5, but only at Kmart... I think that's wave 5 anyway, the one with CS SE. I haven't stopped by a K in a few weeks so I don't know if they are restocking them or if was just a fluke. I was able to score a Desert Viper and an Arctic Threat Storm Shadow. A couple of really cool figures IMO.

[Hicks_Royel]

And I've seen wave four at KMart. Only once and they only had the one case's worth.

Yes, BBTS and HTS.com [which has really stepped up its game for RoC] are my usual go-tos for the bulk of the collecting. It's these damned store exclusives that drive me nuts.

"Sure we've got exclusives! Well, we don't, but the chain does. Try back next week... maybe our store will have them then."
