I'm actually trying to find some Wave 7 figs. I got what little I wanted from Wave 8 but missed out on getting most of Wave 7. I'm looking for Hiss Driver, Spirit and Duke w/ Jet Pack (preferably at Target where I can use the coupon and get all three). I'm blown away by how many Vipers are warming pegs around here now. I think Hasbro should have made more Hiss Drivers and fewer Vipers. What's up? Are people not troop building the Vipers? Is it the $7 price tag? What's got them stuck to the pegs? |

I ended up returning the extras. Such a missed opportunity.

I could have bought 7 at the 4.88 price tag. So Hasbro still makes the sale and doesnt have to make as many as we are asking for. I pretty much stopped buying extra figs for customs because of the same reason. I really like the Vipers and think they look great and I really dont have a problem with them other than the price.

Apparently Wave 7 blew through VA and got snatched up quick (besides the glut of leftover Vipers of course) along with the Wave 4 Comic packs. It seems like there is a shortage of both now all over VA. I've searched in my travels here in Richmond, up in NoVA and in Williamsburg/Newport News over the past week and have not been able to find a decent stock of Wave 7 anywhere.
Wave 8 is totally *meh* in my humble opinion. I picked up Flint and Major Bludd, mostly because I had an opportunity to use a Target coupon to get them cheap. I was excited this past weekend to have coupons to Kmart ($5 off $20) and TRU ($5 off $25) but didn't even get to use them on Joes, because all any of them had was the leftover crap from Wave 8... completely disappointing. I'm still holding out hope that Target might restock w/ Wave 7 sometime over the summer so I can finally find a decent paintjob on a Spirit and find the ever-illusive Hiss Driver. Anybody else having better luck? |

I was hoping to find them at Target too so I could use the coupon. But with gas the way it is, when i find it I buy it. I cant waste a bunch of trips looking at empty targets. I eventually saw them at target and even saw a case of wave 7 at the short pump target.
If the figs were still $4.88 I would have got a few more vipers. But I bought 5 at $6.84 which equals $34.20. I could have bought 7 at the 4.88 price tag.

I would say back when wave 7 was hitting everywhere. Maybe 2 weeks after I found them at wal mart. I remember the toys r us over in the west end had Hiss Drivers falling off the pegs. Someone told me about it and I went a few days later and they still had plenty in stock... this was several weeks ago though. Ill keep an eye out for you, but I dont usually make it into the west end that much. I found 2 stores on sunday that had all wave 4 comics, both over here on Hull St.
Ive learned to snatch up whatever I need as soon as they hit the state, otherwise you might lose out. I usually hit Wal mart every night once I know something has hit the east coast. Its only about 2 miles from me so gas isnt really an issue with going to that one.

Its only about 2 miles from me so gas isnt really an issue with going to that one. I did pick up Snake Eyes (a surprisingly good figure) and Wild Bill at Kmarts (not locally here in Richmond - our Kmart sucks) for $5.99 each and have seen a couple poorly painted Spirits around, certainly not worth $7 to me. I don't even check Walmart unless I'm there already for groceries. They usually only have $6.84 pegs with just lame leftovers anyway. (Yes, I'm still a little bitter...). I haven't bothered to try to price match to Kmart's $5.99 - WM hasn't had anything I really wanted anyway. Target now gets all my casual/spontaneous business. I guess I will have to hope that Wave 7 doesn't end up as rare as Wave 6 was or at least that I will be able to capitalize on the revision cases when those start to come in. Let me know if you see anything in the area and I'll do the same. |
