She said she's gonna do a Joe display out in the floor area instead of the isle.

They're coming guys, just need to be patient!

I was there today and the 30 case order got cancelled (manager doesn't know why) and was replaced by a 3 case order.She said she hasn't had Joes for 2 months.Part of the problem is toys are ordered a year in advance and a year ago that store didn't exist.The Hasbro rep was also there and I had a nice chat she told me there aren't any Joes in the area and niether her or her boss know why,But they are trying to get them here.They hope to hjave this fixed by the end of the year.

They're hard to find, but I've picked up both wave 2 and wave 3 in the area in the last 2 weeks. I've seen them enough that I have 5 Officers, multiple Red Ninjas, and passed over multiple Fireflys.

I picked up a loose Flint and loose Beachhead at a comic shop yesterday because I've never seen Flint anywhere else MOC or loose.

I also found 2 Cobra Troopers from the 2005/2006 TRU exclusive waves hidden at a TRU yesterday. They are nice figures for an era that is basically forgotten now.

Let me clarify,The Hasbro rep said there aren't any at the moment in any of her retail stores(comic shops don't get thiers through the same channels).I myself have seen Wave 3 multible times in this area,but I have only seen 1 case of Wave 2.

Fair enough. I've seen wave 2 a few times, most recently at a Target last week, but the troopers were already gone each time. Some friends and I were able to get complete sets, sans troopers.

I just need a Zartan to complete my first 3 Waves. Gonna E-bay him. Even @ 15 bucks shipped, I'll save a bundle in gas.

I hear ya, I just need Flint, but I refuse to pay $40.00 for him! Wish I could find someone that would want 1 trooper and 2 officers for trade.

Stopped by a Target tonight and all they had where 2 CCs.

E-Bay now unnecessary.

Found my d@mn Zartan*** this afternoon @ Target Springhurst, along with 3 more Cobra Troopers for my growing army. Left behind much of wave 2 & 3 but no Flints!

Go get 'em and hit those Targets today!




*** My cost for Zartan:

6.99 - First Zartan purchased and instantly broke.
60.00 - Approximate gas for looking for another Zartan for over 3 weeks.
6.99 - Second, non-broken Zartan.

= should have pre-ordered em ALL months ago but damn I just love the hunt! :confused:

Stopped by Outer Loop Target today at lunch. They had several pegs of wave 2, including 2x Flints!

I picked up 2 more Troopers for my army and left all the rest.
