Cool dasaffe, I seem to cover the city of Portland, I work near the 185th area, and live on the SE side. I've had really good luck at the Mall 205 Target and Target off of NE Glisan but I haven't been able to check those as regularly lately. If I find anything I'll let you all know.

Thanks for the heads up on the rocket pack soldier ShadowV I'll try to get out that way and check it out.

One thing I've learned with Joes is that if I see ones I need buy them right then... never know if I'll ever see them again.

No signs of comic pack wave 3 showing up at Fred Meyer here in central OR, as there are no pegs for them. i might have missed them though. anyone know where the distro center for Freddies is at?

I work next to the Target on Beaverton-Hillsdale and 107th, all they have are Wave 1 Comic Packs (Minus the "Doc" Sticker), couple of Red Ninjas and Buzzers. It's been like that for Three weeks now.

Also,25th G.I. joe does not exist at the Freddy's on Beaverton-Hillsdale Next to the 217. Been like that since Christmas.

My wife takes the car to work so I can't drive around to hunt for figures, It would make it cheaper the E-stores and E-bay.

Yeah, I live in Milwaukie, and I hit all the Wal-Marts regularly...it's been slim pickings. I've only seen Wave 1 Comic Packs, keeping the pegs nice and toasty, but nothing else. Almost everyone has the re-releases, but the ANY of the Cobra Troops are long gone...it's annoying to say the least. I'd like to hook up with anyone in the area, so maybe we could keep a lookout for each other, 'cause I'll be damned if I get gouged on eBay

In my experience Target and Fred Meyer are the only options. Wal-Mart stocks for nothing in Portland proper (though the Vancouver locations seem to be better). And K-Mart might as well not have a toy section.

I ordered Wave 2-08 (Torpedo, etc.) through Smalljoes and only wanted the Ace/Weasel comic pack so I'm good until the Viper/Spirit/89 Snake Eyes wave (woo-hoo).

That said, I'll keep a look-out for you guys.

Comic Pack Wave 3 and single-pack Wave 5 appeared in Target, central OR, probably earlier today or yesterday. It looks like this comic pack release was a revision, because it included a mix of older comic packs. I didn't pick any up, but there was no Tomax/Xamot.

So if anybody here wants to post their wants...I'll be sure to keep my eye open for you...I'm assuming most of us have the same needs/wants...I'll Trade or $$$...

NEEDS - FLASH, SNOW-JOB, CRIMSON GUARD, TOMAX/XAMOT 2PACK, CG/TROOPER 2PACK

I just hit up the TARGETS in Hillsboro/Beaverton/Tanasbourne and the K-mart in Beaverton...I found nothing of use unless anybody wants Buzzer...

A few days ago I saw wave 4 at TARGET in Tigard...they must of just opened the case and put them out No Air Troopers, but I did see a DESTRO...I thought about picking him up but I figured I'd wait until something better came along...

I did see a single FLASH over at Beaverton Target today...The paint on his nose and pants was coming off...the other two figs on the pegs was BUZZER and RED NINJA...blah

Sure I'll help you out. The competition to find Joes here isn't as bad as some other areas, but they still sell pretty quickly. I won't be actively searching since I have all I want, but if I do find something I'll let you know. In fact, I'll check Target tomorrow to see if the Joes are still there.

I really like the idea of keeping an eye out for each others wants. I live on the east side in Portland and regularly check a Target, a few Freddy's, a couple of Wal-Marts and occasionally the totally deserted TRU (I thought they were supposed to carry toys ;)

Crazy Bones and I already keep in touch over our finds, but it would be great to extend the network state-wide.

As for me, I am looking for all of Wave 5 and the Wave 3 comic-packs. I have been running across Wave 4 on the pegs recently, so if anyone needs any of them, please let me know and I'll see what I can find for you.

[havokss22]

Sounds good to me, I have no problem picking up an extra figure or two for a fellow collector if I see them. I'm sure I am covering many of the same places that everyone else is, but sometimes you get lucky.

A few nights ago the Walmart off of 82nd (the older one) had most of wave 4 including stormshadow, but no jet pack troopers.

Current needs are Wave 6 and Comic Book Wave 2... I know who doesn't.
