Bittersweet day. Went to a few walmarts looking for the walmart masterpiece version skywap to come up empty handed but I did find a complete wave poc could not resist and bought it. It was great to actually see joe product out on the pegs.
All I keep finding for MU are spiderman, ironman, and a few other ham n eggers. The hub is in works with the discovery channel so maybe it will have its own time allotment on the channel. I saw these wm mp skywarps everywehere two weeks ago and now just gone. |

A Walmart in RI had PoC? Where was this lol? All the Walmarts near me are still overstocked with RoC.
My mailman just dropped off my SmallJoes package. Everything is perfect. Opening Resolute sets and PoC wave 1 will take up part of my Sunday now. I still haven't opened my WFC Prime and Bumblebee either. |

SmallJoes is just getting POC now?!? Damn, and they were saying July 14th at 1 point. When they came in at BBTS I cancelled my order at SJ's and ordered them there. At least u have them now though.

Squibbles...I checked three Walmarts in Westerly, Waterford and Groton. No MP Skywarps.
While in Westerly, stopped in and grabbed SW VOTC figs (2x Boba Fett (one to open and get the mailaway fig), Dengar, Han, ATAT Commander, Luke, and CC Pilot.) They had 1 Hiss tank and 1 Snowcat, but no g=figs, and they had just finished their reset for Joes and they were not even on the planogram. Just movie figs. More to come on this later..... Went to Groton and hit TRU. Here's where things start getting weird. I go to the Joe aisle. At least 20 Sting Raiders TRU Exclusive version. I haven't seen those on months. Anyways, I grab Beachhead, Snow Job, Duke (which originally I was gonna pass on, but in person was too cool to let go) and 2 (TWO) Alley Vipers. They had SE and SS but who needs any more of those. They also had remnants of 25th Joes (nothing great) and 4 Hiss tanks and 4 Snowcats. I am passing on vehicles right now, so I figure that why I found them everywhere I went. On to Target in Waterford. Needing only CC I figure my chances are slim at this point. I walk to the toy section with little hope. I get there, and the only thing hanging on the pegs?? 1 CC. so I grab it. They had Mech suits and other alpha vehicles too, but I passed. Next Walmart in Waterford. Nothing but SE and SS and a $10 price tag. The Joes in Westerly were only $6.96. WTH? Little detour to Best Buy for Ferris Buellers Day Off on Blu Ray for $7.99 and a Playstation Store card to buy Deathspank Last stop, Walmart in Groton. Absolutely NOTHING. Just Ravens at $19 and Ninja Battles for $11. So that my hall for the day. No MU figs you guys needed. I don't collect, but I looked everywhere I went.

TRU in Warwick had 2 POC SS and one POC SE. The rest was full of ROC from various waves. They also had one HISS and 2 Wolf Hounds. Didn't see much else. I have the only figure in the wave I want - Beachhead - coming to me from Smalljoes. If I find Duke in the wild I might be tempted to pick him up since he seems to be more awesome in person. Still hunting for Spirit and Quick Kick.
Had full waves of Star Wars TVC and plenty of Clone Wars and Saga Legends figures. Managed to find Pre Vizsla. I have learned to have patience after getting burned on MU Thor and the A-Team. Paid above retail and found them heavily discounted a week after they were delivered. |

Yea, Hasbro warehouse didn't send them to SJ until the 22nd or so. They shipped my order on Wednesday and it got here today. I'm happy. I've used SJ 6 times and have never had a problem. I have the set of wave 2 with BBTS because I have some TFs on order as well. Gotta save on shipping, right? I've used BBTS 8 times I think.

DNGR82 thank you so much for looking for me! Thankyou to everyone who has been and was trying to help me out for a skywarp. I love when toyfans come together.
On my way to run an errand this morning in Providence I decided to stop in the walmart there. I rarley go to this walmart it is usually messy and they never have anything. BUTTTTT they actaully had a walmart MP Skywarp, I was floored. I also got a juggernaut, they had like three left, with thors, captain americas red and green hulks. Picked up a Ironman Hulkbuster, probally for trade and it looked like they had 3 cases of poc that was out. All the cc's were gone, 1 alley viper left, they had some firefly beachead and everyone else. I bought the alley viper to use as a trade loose figure or if someone gets really desperate and cant find one. Loose you ask, well I can only assume out of the 3 -4 full racks of figures that looked fine this was the only one that had a card and plastic shell that was crushed and destroyed. It litterally looed like someone jumped on it, this was dogearing at a whole new level. |
