[AlternateUniverse Steeler]

\r\n \r\n I stumbled into a Frys marketplace and found a black wolf timber today. Strange because this store had only 3 figures for 4 months then this appears on rack with them and was only other figure.\r\n \r\n

[Jimjammer]

\r\n \r\n I hit the motherload today got 3 CGs and 3 Air troopers at one Wal-Mart.\r\n \r\n

[Currahee_Chris]

\r\n \r\n I was up late working and just came from my local Wal Mart- just got Rock, Torpedo and a CG as well as Armored CC and one of the jet pack COBRA troops-
\n
\nI also got the HALO 3Master Chief
\n
\nYeah, I have become that guy - 3 in the morning beating all the ratfink EBay resellers to the toy department at Wal Mart\r\n \r\n

[dockingbay97]

\r\n \r\n I picked up three Air Troopers at one of my local Wal-Marts last weekend as well. I swear the 25th Cobra troops have something addictive in their plastic - I can\'t stop buying them.\r\n \r\n

HA!! I\'m hearing you!! I am actually surprised that they are as abundant as they are- I seem to find one or two floating around on the pegs all the time
\n
\nAll Hail Crack Commander!!
\n
\nYour closing in on 10,000 posts- that\'s amazing!!!\r\n \r\n

[cgenterprise]

\r\n \r\n Picked up Sgt. Airborne, 2 ParaVipers, and 2 Eels at Target. Good to see the cool army builders in numbers. Passed on Zartan w/ "Mini Me" Chameleon, and Matt Tracker. I\'ll probably get them, eventually, but Eels and ParaVipers are too cool to pass up.\r\n \r\n

[Fer-de-lance]

\r\n \r\n

I picked up Leatherneck with the A.W.E. Striker, Serpentor with Air chariot /Steeler with Armadillo, the HISS with Tank Commander, and Deep-Six and Rock n\' Roll comic pack today.

[ninjapleazee]

\r\n \r\n I was shocked to pick up a Firefly vs Stormshadow comic pack today\r\n \r\n

[jaimanstone]

\r\n \r\n Went Joe hunting yesterday and it was more of the same: nothing. The last place I went was a Wal-Mart and when I got to the toy asile it was nothing but fifteen or so empty pegs where the single carded figures should have been. I looked at the comic pack pegs and there, lo and behold, was the ACE and Wild Wesal two pack! That made my day.
\n
\nSo, counting the two pack I now have fourteen different figures (twelve single carded figures). Not bad for having started my son\'s 25th collection two weeks ago. \r\n \r\n

[Grunt]

\r\n \r\n Got all three Target exclusives. That Awe Stiker brings back some memories!\r\n \r\n

[Commander Hawk]

\r\n \r\n My Wal-Mart had TONS of Joes stocked tonight. Here are some of what I picked up (except for SE, Beach Head, Gung-Ho, and CC I already had):
\n
\n
\n
\n
\nI also picked up an IG Destro (they had a LOT of those on the pegs)
\n
\nMan, these things sure are beautiful. \r\n \r\n

[therobidentity]

\r\n \r\n Not sure pics are necessary, but I finally got the CG TRU pack. Hung out at my TRU early, expecting to have to race at least one scalper or other collector to the shelves, but the only other person out there with me was a mother looking to exchange some squirt guns for her kids. So I picked up both. Hopefully that\'ll be the last TRU exclusive for a while, so that I can remain caught up w/o having to wait outside a store for opening.\r\n \r\n

[jshortultimate]

\r\n \r\n Stopped by the local WM up here in northern NH around 930 this morning, and what do you know- one case of Wave 7 (2 SE, 2 Viper, Duke, Spirit, Hiss Driver, Wild Bill). I picked up the 2 Vipers, the Spirit and Wild Bill. There aren\'t really any other collectors up here, so I might go back and pick up some of the others. I am not really a fan of having more than one of a character, but the Snake Eyes and Duke do look pretty cool. The Hiss Driver is also interesting, but without a local Target , I cant really see a need for one...
\nThe Spirit would be really cool, but his face just isnt right... Also, is his gun supposed to be missing a handle (Think Gung Ho\'s handleless weapon)?\r\n \r\n

[Vroomer]

\r\n \r\n 1982 MOC Short Fuse (SA)
\r\n1982 MOC Flash (SA)
\r\n1982 MOC Scarlett (SA)
\r\n
\r\n...All off eBay the last two weeks. What I like about them are the original price tags are still on from the stores.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nJust ordered the following from the fan club:
\r\n
\r\n2004 Dreadnok Rampage: Escapades in the Everglades Boxed Set
\r\n2005 General Mayhem M.A.R.S. Invaders Boxed Set
\r\n2006 Cobra\'s Most Wanted: Mercenaries Boxed Set
\r\nand some 3/4 Original Hasbro O-Rings (set of 25) for good measure.
\r\n
\r\n
\r\n
\r\nI\'ll order the Loose sets and 2007 stuff later. \r\n \r\n

[Cobry Bryant]

\r\n \r\n So my area has been good to me and I am all caught up with waves 7 and 8.
\r\nJust picked up the Red Star 2-pack at target yesterday. I had to buy wave 6 online. Wave 6 just did not ship to my area. Nor did the target exclusive vehicles.
\r\nOh well....\r\n \r\n

[spiderpumpkin]

\r\n \r\n Picked up the Copperhead/Shipwreck comic pack at the Blaine, MN K-Mart last night. Cool figures. I wish the Copperhead figure didn\'t have the brown mud paint on the pants.\r\n \r\n

[Dave in the basement]

\r\n \r\n I stopped by KMart today, hoping to score something new, but only came home with the Ace/Wild Weasel comic pack. I am happy with that, but it wasn\'t quite what I was looking for.
\n
\nAh well, my credit card appreciated the cooldown, I am sure.
\n
\nHappy hunting out there!
\n
\nDave
\n
\nEdit - And for the record, man do I hate KMart. It is the only store on the planet that makes me pine for WalMart. No air conditioning in June in northern Indiana is a bad combination.\r\n \r\n

[Currahee_Chris]

\r\n \r\n I am pretty good friends with the owner of a local comic shop here in my neck of the world. I walked in and he handed me the variant cover DDP final issue- a homage paid to Marvel 155- very cool gift indeed!! He said he couldn\'t think of a more deserving Joe fan than me!! \r\n \r\n

[therobidentity]

\r\n \r\n Just got my Con exclusives!
\n
\n2x black CC
\n1x blue CC
\n1x combat heroes
\n
\n
\n
\nCC\'s podium has removable mic stand and mic, which fits into CC\'s left hand. \r\n \r\n

[NitroJoe]

\r\n \r\n Picked up Hawk, Bazooka, and Barbecue today at Steel City Con in Pittsburgh. After having next to nothing in the way of 25th Anniversary Joes at the last show in March, they were everywhere this time, with at least 10 booths carrying some Joe assortment.
\n
\nThe 3 new Joes cost me $30 total which isn\'t too bad considering Target\'s new price point and that I don\'t have to hunt them down. Also saw all the vehicles (regular wave and the old Target ones) and most of the Wave 8 and earlier figures carded. Wave 9 was curiously missing except for the 3 I got. No BATs or Snow Serpents, and I think I saw just one black Storm Shadow.\r\n \r\n

[Jbluez]

\r\n \r\n I\'m back from comic-con. I got the exclusives, and visited toy rocket. That\'s where I found the magnet stands from www.minimagstands.com I got the display and some magnets, which are great for the army builder guys! You can just use the magnets and place one 25th battle stand for a name plate.

[fireflys_apprentice]

\r\n \r\n i ride my bike to work everyday. and today it was very windy,as it is alot in south dakota,so i decieded to take a different route home to avoid riding directly into the wind and since it passed a Kmart i thought id stop and look at the cheap horror movies they always have,as an after thought i strolled by the toy isle,expecting as usual nothing,and to my suprise i found the comic 2 packs of nemisis enforcer (blow immortal out your ear hasbro) and destro and iron grenader. two sets ive been looking everywhere for. deffinetly my most unexpected joe find of the last 5 years.\r\n \r\n
