Every Wednesday my buddy and I hit the PV area. Heading up the 51 getting off on Cactus hitting the Target, KB, TRU, Walmart on Bell, Target Greatland, Target on 7th st and Bell and somet imes if we want to get crazy we go to Walmart on 19th and Bell and head over to Getro Center. (For those who have not been to the new walmart on the corner of Cactus and Tatum you can skip it. It is small like a grocery storeand the toy area only has a half of an aisle for boys action figures. They sell Corps but no Joes.)
Every other friday I hit the Chandler area and go into the Scottsdale TRU area.
Who else will be in the wave 6 cases?

I actually don't hit the Bethany stores everyday. I go about twice a week, randomly based on my schedule. I work at Thomas and Central. The Wal-Mart at 19th has been good to me. That's where I snagged Wave 5 in mid-Dec. and found Wave 2 of the comic packs right after Christmas. As for the other waves, I found Wave 1 at the KB in Metro in late July, Wave 2 at the Wal-Mart on Bell and like 32nd St.(??), Wave 3 at the Target on 44th and Thomas, and Wave 4 at the Wal-Mart on 40th and Thomas in early Dec.

Today I made the run and found jack squat (i.e. no Wave 6). Not even a sign of Wave 4 or 5. I hit the Wal-Mart and Target on 19th and the Wal-Mart on 35th before heading back to work. Every comic pack I saw at all three stores, which was about 15, had the file cards and Doc stickers missing. These stores are getting fleeced by some lowlife eBay scalper.

kind of off topic of your 25th search, but do any of you remember the Lionel's that used to be on Southern Ave. by Fiesta Mall?
I practically grew up in that store. I lived in AZ for years.

No, but I sure remember the Playworld on 35th Ave. and Peoria. I loved that place and got many a Joe there.

That's been about my luck too lately. Jack-squat has been following me around like the bubonic plague! I wish he'd go bother somebody else for awhile. :-)

I went to the Lionel Playworlds on Thomas and 75th and Tatum/Greenway.
Who remembers the Toy Box inside Christown mall? That's where I bought Snow Job for my sister's bday gift... yeah right she never got to play with it.

I found wave 4 at Target on 19th during my lunch break 2 weeks ago and bought all 8. Besides that my friend found wave 5 at Walmart on 35 and Bethany and bought me all they had, but no snake eyes in the case.

So right now my wants are
Wave 4
Gung Ho with anchor on hat

Wave 5
Snake Eyes

Wave 6 x 2
Torpedo
CC
RnR

I am good on comic packs.

Is any one really surprised that people are being scum and returning the comic packs with out the inserts? When I opened my first one I saw the potential and knew it was only a matter of time.

Checked the WM's and Target's along the 202 loop this morning around 10 AM, but there wasn't anything to write home about. Did find some nice W2 comic-packs at the Target off Gilbert, but I already have those, so I left 'em on the pegs for those who don't.

Last night KB Toys at PV Mall got in a case of wave 2 comic packs. First time in months I have seen any new Joe stuff in a KB. I left them all as I have them.

I rarely ever hit KB because they're only in Mall's, and honestly I like to avoid Mall's if at all possible. :-)

Hit several WM's and one Target this afternoon while a buddy and I were out looking around. Absolutely zilch for new Joe's, but I did find an Allspark T-former and several new SW figures I was looking for!

Just got back from my long ass drive (2300 miles), and side from the 3 Crimson Guards I Liberated from Walmarts in Oklahoma I saw nothing.

I'll be on the look out for Wave 6 now that I am back.

Thank God you liberated them from the Mid-West, where they probably would have languished in the hell that is cowboy boots and country western music! ;-) (kidding..)
