I thank you sir, for the info.

JustryGT · 02-21-2013, 07:51 PM

Sorry I was editing my post as you were quoting me. It may be that this wave 2 was intended to be at Dollar General as well. I guess time will tell if they show up there.
Most sellers on ebay are calling them Dollar General wave 2 .

MegsTriggerMan · 02-21-2013, 10:08 PM

Yeah it was a basic assortment that they did and shopped to discount retailers. Dollar General scooped up the first wave and originally Hasbro wasn't sure if they would get someone to pick up wave 2 ... Luckily TJ Max to the rescue and a buck cheaper than DG! So if anyone in their hunting finds an extra Orange Storm Shadow

Also my late night Walmart and on my doorstep Haul.

Good for you, like they say: timing is everything!

Here are my latest pick-ups:

I ran across another GI Joe Retaliation Sneak Attack Storm Shadow in my po-dunk area Wal-Mart, their last one. He's going into my B/S/T so if anyone needs him PM me.

Marvel Universe Heroic Age Heroes Boxset. I haven't decided if I'm going to put this into my B/S/T or not but I probably will so feel free to PM trade offers until I make a firm decision.

And finally from the out-of-town TRU, I found a nice looking GI Joe 30th Anniversary Cobra Crimson Hiss Tank:

I was also informed GI Joe Retaliation items will not be re-stocked here in my po-dunk Wal-Mart until late March. That went for everything, figures, vehicles, etc.. I can't say I'm totally surprised to hear that but oh well, it is what it is.

If you speak to them again have them read the packaging. They are saying that because the package has a street date of March 28th, 2012. Make sure to tell those assholes it's 2013.

I have already had to do that at one walmart who was trying to stop me from getting a case opened.

Freakin' sweet acquisition, that one takes me back.

This is my latest:

I'd find it difficult to believe that even detractors of Transformers: Beast Hunters could dislike this toy. This thing, in both modes, is amazing.

salsa4datass · 02-22-2013, 07:53 PM

Black Arbor · 02-23-2013, 06:01 AM

No pics from me either (gotta be to work in a few) but I was rummaging through my friends attic and found a complete Mighty Morphin' Thunder Megazord and White Tigerzord. needless to say, I had to have 'em.

Brownfinger · 02-23-2013, 12:44 PM

You are correct, good sir! She came from BBTS!

[QUOTE=Mastersteef;410030]

wow the walking dead figures look really cool!

salsa4datass · 02-23-2013, 09:42 PM

nice grabs! what store had that chima baggy?

James Rhodes · 02-23-2013, 09:46 PM

Got this at TRU today, Batman Movie Masters Trilogy set. I felt it was overpriced, but I wanted the Bruce Wayne with mask in hand so I got it anyways.

DarthGzus33 · 02-23-2013, 09:50 PM

Finally found Lady Jaye, took me a while to find her...by far the most sought after Joe in my area!!!

Went by Five Below and was suprised to see some of the final wave of Thor figs for $4 a piece!!! No King Loki, King Laufey or Sif, but I did scoop "Asgardian Glow" Hannible, er, All Father!!! I am not sure why he is called "Asgardian Glow", because he doesn't like the Cosmic Armor Thor, but cool anyway...

Winning!!!

flipwilson · 02-23-2013, 09:54 PM

I picked up the Blue Claptrap today at my local TrU. Hell yes.

I got my WD figures Wednesday in store. I had pics up in the thread earlier. I was told they just got the case in Tuesday. I don't know anywhere that they are packaged in the vertical package other then Gamestop. Gamestop gets all their McFarlane figures in special packaging. Everywhere else like WalMart, TRU, and Target get them in the regular packaging. So GS tends to get them in store before most other retailers.
