I did find wave 4 yesterday, but it wasn't in NC. I went up the road about 20 minutes into Virginia and found Dead End and airachnid.

Figures LOL

Just saw Dead End at the Skibo Rd Walmart in Fayetteville. No Airachnid. Also finally found the Batman 1966 Hot Wheels there. TRU on Skibo also had the Lego Batman Jetski pack. I've been looking to recreate the infamous NBC "Legends of the Superheroes" battle on jetski's between Batman and Mordru the Merciless.

other than TFP Vehicon/RastaJack/Airachnid, what else is there to look for? DCUC and Thundercats are being clearanced at all the Targets, and nothing new from MU and ML on the slate(that I know of). The next big thing I'm looking for is TMNT, so if y'all find them, please let me know.
The toy show was great. I found so many good OLD toys. This break in hunting has me focusing on the old stuff again.

jetsandheels · 07-03-2012, 05:06 PM

Found Black Widow and Hawkeye from the Avengers 3-3/4 line today at my podunk Walmart.

It's a 4th of July miracle!!

pacozord · 07-03-2012, 07:16 PM

Great find jetsandheels! I've yet to see one in stores. Found Optimus Maximus at
K-mart in Wilmington today.

Clearanced Tcats continue to tempt me. I've gotta stay focused, though.

TMNT will probably have the same effect as well, especially since I have my TMNT collection [that is small now due to childhood yard sale] here now.

Yep, seems those Cyberverse figures are starting to pop up, as I've seen the Knock Out and Wheeljack now.

Thanks pacozord. I was very surprised to see them on the pegs. You have to understand, the walmart near my house seems to never get anything new in. I have been tracking the Transformers Prime deluxes there, and its been the same ones since early May.

Speaking of Optimus Maximus, I got one yesterday, but have not opened him yet. The main reason I got him was to have a cool base/storage area for my cyberverse figures.

Whew! TJ Maxx does have some great finds. Bought a War Machine 3 3/4" figure from the "Iron Man Armored Avenger" line, a DC Classics 6" Red Arrow from Young Justice , A Barricade and Rachet Mech class from Transformers Dark of the Moon all for $25. Got those at the Apex TJ Maxx. Saw the Aqua Lad figure at the Brier Creek TJ Maxx, but it was $14.99, where as the Red Arrow figure was $4.99. Probably go back there in a couple of weeks to see if they mark it down. Saw a Loki Avengers Walmart Exclusive at the Fuquay store. Picked up the 4-Pack #1 & #2 Avengers minimates Disney store exclusives along with the unmasked Spidey Marvel Select figure at Crabtree Valley Mall. Also finally picked up the Marvel Legends series 2 Madame Hydra and Piledriver at the Walmart in Morrisville.

Falconhood · 07-09-2012, 10:05 AM

So does TJ Maxx have the $30 Sentinels?

nccollector · 07-09-2012, 07:29 PM

you know, i'm not sure, but there is quite a bit of Transformers stuff. I believe that it is worthing checking out. There is the one at Brier Creek, one at Beaver Creek and one near the new Target in Cary on Cary Parkway and Chapel Hill Road. Prices seem to fluctuate at the different stores.

jetsandheels · 07-10-2012, 12:58 PM

Yesterday I scored some of the new TMNT figures in Durham.

Today I scored a Star Wars vintage collection Hoth Luke Skywalker (even though I got it in VA).

You guys on here that are also on TFW (Falcon and SS7) please don't forget about me. I hate I was dumb enough to get banned over there.

Where in Durham did you get the TMNT?

jetsandheels · 07-11-2012, 05:35 AM

Target on 15 501.

pacozord · 07-13-2012, 12:15 PM

Saw the Optimus Prime and Jazz Fall of Cybertron figures at the Target at SouthPoint Durham. I hadn't seen these before.

mj3141x · 07-14-2012, 08:09 PM

Found a new wave of 3 3/4-inch Batman Dark Knight Rises figures at the Kohl's on Falls of Neuse Road in Raleigh today that looked like a direct market line for the discount stores. The figures are on smaller, cheaper, more generic cards much like the G.I. Joe Basic Assortment figures at Dollar General. There's a basic black Batman and a series of repaints of Batman and Bane (so nothing earth shattering) but still interesting to see a new set of figures different from what's all over Walmart and Target right now. One repaint in particular was pretty cool...it's the movie style body with a classic-looking black and gray deco. They were priced at $7.99 but rang up at $7.19. Also, the figures did not include any accessories.

mj3141x · 07-20-2012, 09:43 AM

Found the SHIELD Helicarrier at the TRU in Cary today. They had two on the shelf. I bought one. They also had a couple of Fall of Cybertron Transformers as well (Optimus and Jazz).

Falconhood · 07-22-2012, 09:37 AM

has anyone seen 6" Tygra from Thundercats near raleigh?
With Target clearing them out, i think I'll never find one.

pacozord · 07-22-2012, 05:38 PM

I'll keep an eye out for Tygra. Saw that TRU Durham had Fall of Cybertron figures and one Shockwave. They also had a couple of TMNT figures left, and the Comicon movie packs with the small Joss Whedon & Spurlock action figures.

It's been a little while, but I saw one. Sorry, but I can't remember where.

Cary had some TMNT stuff, just not the Turtles themselves.

Sorry guys, but I've not seen much of anything new.

pacozord · 07-24-2012, 11:17 AM

Haven't found that Tygra yet, Falconhood.

TJ Maxx at Brier Creek has at least three of the Transformers Optimus Prime & Megatron Ultimate Battle Deluxe sets for $12.99 each.

Falconhood · 07-26-2012, 07:56 PM

Thanks guys. I went all over cary and Garner after the movie on Tuesday, and the only great thing i saw(for y'all, not me, i have them) is both HAWK and DOVE at Target in Garner for just $7.48 each. I wish they were the FLASH figures instead (white and yellow ones) or Green and Red arrow, which would never happen. Those 2 have NEVER been seen by me in this area.
The Targets are all about to reset, so I expect SOME good to come out of it.

Superquad7 · 07-27-2012, 03:12 AM

FINALLY found the TMNT figures yesterday as Target finally did a reset!

pacozord · 07-27-2012, 07:19 AM

Found a full set of the new TMNT figures at the Triangle Town Center Target yesterday. They look pretty cool, but I can't financially adopt a new toy series right now

They also had the 3.75in Thundercats on clearance in the endcaps, but no 6" Tygra figure.
