Whelp, gotta pay off my case of Wave whatever (the one with 2 of Hawk, Trooper, Steel brigade etc) later in the month.

I don't think I want a Skystriker, got no use for it really. It's cool and all, but I prefer Helicopters and that Blackdragon thing. Or VTOL aircraft.

So I was in TRU yesterday and they had new Joes. Skydive and Alley Vipers. I bought a Skydive, why, I don't know he looks cool.

In my Alti world he may fit in when I flash forward. I think in a dio once he has landed he just hits the jungle in a POC Jungle Duke harness thing and he'll work just fine. I may even buy a second one where i remove the pouches and add to PTE vest or the jungle Duke vest, we'll see

I got mine online. Most of the Troop Builders I've gotten have been online. I've only found a few Jungle Bats and one IG in the store. It's just sad. I'm going broke trying to get Vipers and Troopers and Steel Brigade.

Its fun finding the new Sky Strikers at retail. Now, it will be fun trying to find space for all the jets I want to buy! Plus I gotta learn how to hang em from the ceiling!

Just saw that myself. Thanks for digging up the thread, I was lazy. So it's Wal-Mart, right? Not Target or TRU?

If that's the case, fuck that. I have 2 sets on order from BBTS, and I should have my fill with that... If I happen to see a troop-builder in the wild I may snag him, but until then, I'll just wait on the online sets to process...

Definitely Wal-Mart.

Dunno what I may or may not get from them. The Viper for accessories, maybe a repaint, maybe trade the figure.

EDIT:

So I pulled my head out of my ass, Hazard Vipers in multiples, and maybe army building Stalker for bodies.

i've got the same attitude MR...i have it on pre-order at BBTS and i won't go into Wallys for stuff like this (if it was the Airtight/Lifeline/SciFi wave that would be another story)...if i happen to see it sometime down the line i may pick something up, but until then, no big emergency...had that same approach with w5/6 and i still haven't seen them...oh well

has there been any mention of how much they cost? I assume they're about $6.50, maybe $7.50?

hhmm, I guess I won't be army building at that price, but to be honest there isn't anything to army build that I don't already have covered except for the steel brigade guys (they are in this wave right?). I like the Stalker I got, I got about four or five vipers, and the same with blue shirts. I might pick up an IG and I'll definitely get the Hazard viper, but other than that nothing I find too exciting.

God damn it! I'm going to have to stop saying mean things about my local Wal-Mart. They actually had Joes! but I was kind of surprised by which ones they had. They have POC wave ONE! Firefly, dusty, Alley-Vipers, they even had snow-job and Recondo! WTF?!

ALL Wal-Marts that have added Joes since the reset put out a case of W.1.

That's really odd. A couple WalMarts by me have added Joes within the past couple months (before the reset) and in both stores, it was revision cases (with Skydive, Shock Troops, and Alley Vipers) that they put out. Where are these Reset Walmarts getting Wave 1 from???

Central distribution. They probably have them because they sat on them originally.

why did they sit on them? did they think they wouldn't sell during the summer months?

Why dump Joes for months but continue stocking Iron Man 2 figures?

Why ask why? :D

The seven Snow-Destro's have been sitting here for a while too...but the price is still $6.99.

I'm tempted to buy them all.

My Wally had a case of Joes in a cart. Unfortunately the workers were hovering so I couldn't see if they were 30th or not, and I didn't bother to ask them to open it.

May go back, but I think I'd rather blow my money on Magic. Pathetic.

Pardon the interruption -


I read on a terrrordrome tweet that Walmart has a street date of 9-20-11 for 30th figures...not sure if that is true or already noted...just thought I'd pass it along.


Carry on

I could see the date being the truth considering they don't have them in the system but I won't believe it since I'm opening one of the 4 Hazard Vipers I bought right now. :p

Been to 3 wally's over last week and nothing new. Still same handful of ROC Destro's and Covergrls hanging with re-taping of package for $10.

My area went from having things in a timely manner at all 3 places (Target, TRU and Wally) to peg warming cling ons.

doubt it,if there is a hard street date it will say on the box,I saw a box the day I got my 30th figures and there was no street date on it,I think its more just walmart is in the middle of resets and they tend to get a bit confused at times ;)
