I found some interesting things tonight.
Fred Meyers on Cornelius Pass Road-nothing.
Target on 185th- SE and Duke w/ Jet pack
Fred Meyers on TV highway in Beaverton-SE & Duke w/ Jetpack. So new, their SKU numbers weren't in the system.
Target in Beaverton-SE, Duke, Some Wave 4, and a **** load of Cobra troopers and air troopers.
Target at Washington Square: Wave 4 only.
So some Wave 7 hit a Fred Meyers and Target. I picked up SE, but couldn't find and Vipers or HISS Tank Drivers, which is what I was hoping for.

Thanks for the heads-up, man. Cornelius Freddy's didn't have anything yesterday morning, so they must have stocked mid-day. Rats!

Hopefully I'll be able to snag a SE the next time I hit a FM...

cause i got them
monday...all wave 8 and the vipers and hiss...in keizer target ,washington square target and spring field target off i-5

Just so I understand, Target got figures in stock on Monday? And you cleaned out three different Targets of all Wave 8 figures, all Vipers, and all HISS tank drivers? That doesn't really seem fair to other people who are just looking for one of each figure....

I really think he was joking about that considering he lives in Grants Pants and would have had to travel 750 miles round trip for some 7 dollar figures when gas prices are $3.89 a gallon it just doesn't add up.

I think he was just saying that he found some, not all, of the Wave 8s.

I transport vehicles for a living I had to take one to portland so on the way up i stop and look for toys. I left a lot in the stores I just picked up things i need like all wave 8 they had 3 complete sets, i left 2 complete sets. I also grabbed the comic packs the only ones they had and grab the vipers and hiss for army builders ..2vipers and 1 hiss out of 3 stores....

Some of you might not remember, but 9deadjoes gave a shout out that Wave 7 had hit Oregon in the heat of the first sightings. No one was expecting we'd be seeing them that soon and it gave some people the chance to grab some joes early. Scalpers don't do that kind of neighborly stuff.

What's up with Collector's Connection? I know that he says he's got a Hasbro account, but I saw him at the Portland Comic Book show with a massive wall of Target Exclusive vehicles on the day of their street date hit. For weeks before that, he was selling out of full cases on eBay. BS.

He *might* be ordering Waves from Hasbro but he is absolutely *not* ordering Target exclusives. He's buying them at the store. I have a sneaking suspicion that he's the reason we all have such a hard time finding these damned things in the Portland area.

I went to the Springfield Walmart yesterday and found the remnants of two cases: 2 CC w/crystal elements, 2 Roadblocks, 2 TF Flints, and only 2 Python Patrol Officers. The Green Acres Walmart had a CC and w 11th walmart had nothing except wave 4 comic packs (and I got them - hawk and redstar). I need wave 8 and hope my fellow Oregonian Tankers can keep an eye out for me and pick up anything they find. My #1 wave 8 need of course is Major Bludd, but I need everything else too so hit me back and we can work out a trade, thanks.
