Still nothing 'round these parts except wave 7. Heh-heh. The vehicles came and went in a days time. I think one guy bought both cases they put out at Wal-Mart. Still waiting on wave 9 to hit the local shop here so I can get some B.A.T.S. and Snow Serpents.

Well, I found my first repack in richmond today. Really disappointed and furious. Makes me not want to help out any collectors in the area with sightings anymore.
Someone had taken the target hiss driver and put him in the firefly comic pack. It hurts wal mart, it hurts hasbro, and it hurts the next consumer who might pick it up. What kind of hobby am in where people do this and think its ok?

Here goes my first post...The Target at Bailey Crossraods had some Vipers and two MASS DVD sets. Toys R Us just down from Target didn't have anything but Cobra Commanders, Buzzer and Serpentor. The Target on Rt 1 at Potomac Yards had a couple Cobra Commanders. On Sunday I went to the Target on Rt 1 in Alexandria and took home one of two Wild Bills with the 25th logo. They also had a set of DVD packs, RAM/Flight Pod, Vamp and some Vipers. The Walmart down the street from Target on Rt 1 had two wave 2 Cobra Troopers.

Do they sell these at other retailers, like KB Toys or Sears, that doesn't get as much attention? Anybody tried to hit up any 'weird' spots looking for stuff?

KB carries them, but they charge more. Haven't found anything GI Joe in other weird places yet.

I'm guessing the "weird places" won't have Joes until at least around the holidays, that is, if Hasbro actually starts producing enough of them and pushing them. Otherwise, you can expect mainly Transformers and Star Wars type stuff around Sears and the like, just like last year.

thunderdan advised me to ask this question to some of you here.
I am headed down to virginia beach next week with my wife and 7 year old daughter and was interested if anyone in the area could suggest decent places to eat, things to do. We are hoping not to have to drive anywhere, but the kid might get bored of 4 days at the ocean. any cheap good restaurants, local favorites? family kinda stuff? we are staying a block away from the beach, but I cant remember which hotel at the moment. Any suggestions would be appreciated, I dont want to clog the thread so just PM me any suggestions THANKS |

Springfield Target had some wave 7 items. I took home the last Hiss Driver and a Snake Eyes (left one behind). There was one Duke and one Spirit left as well as some Vipers. I also took home the non exclusive Hiss tank. There was one more vehicle set and I can't remember which one it was. They also had several Mass and Destro DVD sets. Kingstowne Toys R Us had nothing, but as I was leaving, I saw a truck getting ready to unload in the loading dock. The Kingstowne Walmart had two Wild Bills with the new comic series label and some Vipers.
