Just happened to hit a few spots today, nothin'. Troutdale Wal-Mart has an over abundance of comic packs, as well as Clackamas Wal-Mart. I'm tempted to army build the hell out of the Cobra troop pack, I don't think anyone will complain

I got my complete case of Wave 7 from Entertainment Earth today! I must have a friend at Habro or something because the figures were, like my Doc, perfect. No rolled cards, no hailine creases, anything. Man it's fun to find stuff on the shelves, but man is it a blast actually cracking open a case I'm offically hooked on pre-ordering now!

Thanks for the tip ShadowV, I hit that up in the early morning;)

Guys, I haven't forgotten about organizing a collector's group. What would you all be more interested in? A Yahoo/Google group, Myspace? Let me know and we can get this started!

I think I'd prefer a google group, but that's just because I've got gmail. A yahoo group might have quicker e-mail notification, though. Anyone know?

Ok so It'll be a while till we get a hit in oregon but Im hoping to see some wave 8 in the next few weeks (WM first as its looking like). Ill be hitting the cottage grove WM next week as that has been my best place to hunt for the newest Joe's. Ill keep everyone posted.

Is anyone still looking for anything while Im out hunting?

I JUST complete wave 7 and wave 8 gets announced? Lol, damn it! Yeah I usually scope out the stores about a week after Northern California starts reporting. I've already pre-ordered these, but if I can get 'em early, why not?

Excluding Wave 8, I'm all up to date Novacaine, thanks!

Just a bit of a heads up folks. In this Sunday's Fred Meyer ad, it's advertising 20% off all Action Figures and Die-Cast toys. So if you can actually find something at Freddy's this week, I'd suggest you hit 'em up. Might be a perfect opportunity to score some custom fodder, and maybe...Wave 8 I know, a man can dream can't he?

Fred Meyer is due for Wave 8 or Wave 7. They haven't had a restock of GI Joe singles in weeks. Let's hope.

Wave 8 and 7 have been spotted at Federal Way Wal-Mart in Washington, so they've hit the NW. Nothing new at Freddy's today.

Yep, I can confirm it. As of 11:30am, the Clackamas Wal-Mart had remnants of Wave 8 2 Vipers and a Cobra Commander w Crystals. I snatched the Vipers, left the CC. They apparently got about 2-3 cases of Wave 7. Dukes, SE, Wild Bill, Spirits GALORE, I left some Vipers too, And the cards look great, nothing bent at all. Good luck guys!

The Wal-Mart further up the road on 82nd STILL is stuck with Wave 4's...

So Wave 8 is here, let the madness begin Man, I'm glad I pre-ordered.


Folks, I'm going to go with a Yahoo Group, PM me to get invited, to get this ball rolling

[Sabotage!]

I had a heck of a time finding Wave 7 in Vancouver, WA (I had preordered a case, but wanted a couple more vipers). I'm not too stoked on Wave 8, with the exception of Major Bludd and the Roadblock, but I'm wondering if anyone has seen the new wave of comic packs in WA or OR? I know we are a bit behind, but if we have Wave 8 already, then they could be coming in soon. If I come across any of the comic packs or Wave 8, I'll let you guys know.

Went back to the Wal-Mart I mentioned yesterday to see if they stocked Wave 8, they did but I missed it! Well, I managed to get a Roadblock, which was cool because I didn't pre order him and figured he'd be readily available. Only W8 stuff left is that same Cobra Commander, and a rather viciously BENT Viper.

Pardon my little rant here...

I understand that some figures may get damaged in the shipping process, but this one HAD the work of a bender. The Card was literally bent down the middle and a corner of a bubble was ripped up. Seriously, man... In a simular topic on the main board, there was a discussion about benders and how they're trying to fight the good fight against scalpers...weak. It's BS. Perhaps if they bent everything first and THEN bought their fill, I might think they had some kind of noble cause...

At any rate, Clackamas Toy R Us as of 8pm restocked their Officers Sets. They had about 3 Joe Officers, and 2 Crimson Packs. Singles were Scarlett, a Beachhead and our favorite 25th figures Buzzer and Serpentor.

Fred Meyers...nothin' Wal-Mart on 82nd, still brimming with Wave 4's
