Was traveling over Thanksgiving and found a white coat Rex and Kamakura at a TRU and a CS SE and Desert Viper at Kmart in Ohio.
I bought none of them, but it was cool to see the new waves in stores. I have bought waves 4 and 5 online due to MD's sucky distribution and my frustration at driving to stores mostly to find the same ole stuff. I did finally find a Sgt Slaughter at a KMart in WV!

Plus knowing how people do in our area, scalpers and repackers and late arrivals of this particular wave, it is too much of a headache to bare. I found a City Strike Snake Eyes figure in the wild that was a damn repack; told the Walmart associate about it and she took it off the shelves. A few days later, at the same Walmart in Columbia, I see the City Strike Snake Eyes packaging only to realize that it is the same damn repack back on the pegs for somenone to purchase.
I really only wanted this figure from what I've seen being released as a whole this remaining year til next summer. I don't need to spend anymore time going from Silver Spring to Bethesda to Rockville to College Park to Columbia to Arundel Mills to Baltimore County to White Marsh to Cockeysville for one figure.

I have bought waves 4 and 5 online due to MD's sucky distribution and my frustration at driving to stores mostly to find the same ole stuff. I did finally find a Sgt Slaughter at a KMart in WV! Does anyone remember how hard it was to finally find Waves 11 and 13 last year after months of seeing revision waves clog the shelves? Remember how hard it was to get those Resolute 2-packs at retail after they flooded the pegs with comic 2-packs that contained two lame repainted figures? Remember how many times you looked for a dag on Ghost Hawk and Sting Raider only to find out they were repacks or the last one left at that store? Mass Device DVD Pack # 5 was basically made in small enough amounts that only those with ESP could get one. If you wanted the huge battle set with repainted figures just to get a crappy version of Short Fuse you had to wait months for it become affordable at Target and by that time they magically disappeared off shelves. It sucked!!!! I almost gave up on looking but struck gold before my hopes went down the drain. We never had a superfluous amount of Resolute Troopers, Cobra Eels or Blowtorches here in Maryland because of poor distribution problems in many areas; especially in the main Baltimore, Howard and Montgomery county regions. This last weekend I saw all of Wave 5 at the Super Kmart off of Oyster Point Rd. in Newport News,VA. However, any Kmart I go to in Maryland is stagnant with only Waves 1 and 2. Whenever there is a 2 for 1 or 2 for $10 sale at Kmart or TRU they don't restock with newer Joes so it defeats the purpose of looking. I'm literally not even getting my hopes up too high for PoC stuff anymore. Most likely they'll repaint everything we've seen one hundred times and package it with vehicles or playsets we might like. Hasbro is jerking retailers off by making them believe that the same characters being placed in every assortment is good for the brand. Thats the most backasswards way to see a brand succeed by making people get sick of redundancy. HASBRO, please go back to the strategy of the 1980's and make awesome vehicles that accomodate the figures instead of these ranky dank off scaled vehicles that only fit one figure. Jeesh... thats just my rant...sorry about that...

Yeah I remember Blackman! I found Waves 11-13 on day trips to PA with the family and the Ghost Hawk and Water Moc at a WM in WV!
I have the Sgt Slaughter and want to use the BP body for my custom. Seeing how the mod has to be done, I am reluctant to go cutting into such a hard to find figure! I only see the Surveillance Port and LAW WM Exclusives.

I'm not a customiser myself. I always feared ruining my figures so I never even attempted anything. I've always been kind of a purist anyway..if it wasn't "official" Hasbro product it didn't interest me. However, I wanted a 25th style Slaughter pretty bad. I bought the BNB one as well as Bench-Press and I switched heads. It was so easy and it looks great. There was no cutting involved. Trust me, if I can do it ANYBODY could do it.
