Not a sighting so much as a savings. Anyone visiting Cinemaworld in Lincoln, grab a TF poster at the customer service desk. It has 3 Target coupons - $3 off TF Voyager figure, $10 off Ultimate figure, and $3 off TF1 on Blu Ray or DVD. Coupons are good through 8/24/11.
I hit Target in Lincoln Mall last night hoping to grab Voyager Megatron, but no luck. They are overloaded with OP, Starscream, and Ratchet. Target in Lincoln HAD 2 of each guy from this wave:(http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/p...89&mode=retail) out on the pegs earlier this week. I went back tonight and they were all gone, nothing left but ARCTIC DESTROS AND ZARTANS. WTF. WHY WONT THEY CRAWL UNDER A ROCK AND DIE. I didn't realize they were hard to find. I thought they were just starting to trickle out. I'm not one to buy stuff right when it hits, I usually wait for it to saturate the area and then dive in. Most of them had pretty sloppy paint btw(especially Snake Eye's hands), except for the 2 Crazy Legs, Vipers, and Iron Grenadiers. I wish I grabbed the troops, but I just didn't feel like spending much money that day (bought some $5 LEGO sets instead). Eh, I'll find some more eventually.

The Crazy Legs were really nice looking, but I really don't find them as interesting. Plus, he doesn't come with much. I wish he came with a working parachute.
You weren't missing much on the Rock Vipers, they had really bad facial paint that bled all over their helmets. Unlike POC waves 1-4, which amazed the crap out of me, waves 5 & 6 don't "wow!" me as much. So I didn't jump at buying them.

What a total bummer... Can't believe you passed on wave 6 troops. I think I would have just bought every single figure and shared what i didnt need with the rest of you cats. Oh well, now you know how hot that wave is and better luck next time brother.

Nowadays if you see it and want it, you have to grab it or it will be gone. Retail Joe is pretty thin in case anyone hasn't noticed.
I'm not sure if wave 6 will be saturating any time soon. I think we're more likely to see the first case of 30th figures in more abundance than wave 6.

I didn't know they were rare, I thought wave 5 & 6 were going to be as easy to find as waves 1-3. Wave 4 always seemed like the scarce one from my shopping experience.
Okay, next time I see them I'll grab them for you. Post a list of who you guys need. Also, do you have any nitpicks? Like, do you only want the python patrol Croc Master or the camo Blowtorch?

Python Patrol Croc Master and the original concept art Blowtorch haven't been found anywhere.
I'm all caught up...just waiting for 30th stuff.

Ideally, I'd like to have at least 10 of: Steel Brigade, Jungle BAT, Cobra Trooper, Viper, Rock Viper and Iron Grenadier. I'll take what I can get though.
I agree with FD, I really don't think these will be hitting full force at all in retail, so far the situation is behaving similarly to how most figure lines end, the last wave (or waves) wind up seeing the least distribution and hence become the rarest of the line. With the 30th figures right around the corner, and with these 2 waves showing up at places like Bennys and Stop and Shop before TRU and Targets, I highly doubt we'll get much more than what we've already seen. |
