  1. Got animated wave 4 from BBTS today, im actually really impressed with this wave, even though I wish sentinel was a voyager I still think he looks reall cool.

     

    I'm wondering how you got yours so fast, seeing as how they JUST sent mine out, even though I preordered them.

     

    IDK, cause i choose standard UPS shipping..it might be because they are located in Wisconsin and im from Minnesota so it takes such a shot time...either way im sure happy i get them so fast : )

  2. Picked up the Cybertron DVD set and the First wave of Gi Joe Vehicles from target, I always get two of the Joes, ones to open and ones to keep MISB, the ones I got are definitally openers, they look like someone took a baseball bat to the case and went crazy, im still waiting for them to get the DVD sets in though cause they have the sticker out for them.

  3. Picked up Universe Soundblaster and Heavy Load, they also had Supreme Prime but im waiting till hes on sale or I havent found anything for awhile. They also had the stickers out for the new GI JOE dvd packs and vehicles so i got to check back their everyday now to guarantee i get them.

  4. well, i guess sometimes having to babysit an 80 year old man has it's privileges. i had the night off last night and mom gave me her debit card and told me to pick something up for myself as a way of saying thanks (yet again). told her she didn't have to that i don't mind watching pap over the nights (who would?) but she insisted. so, i was able to pick up another set of joe vehicles (armadillo and serpentor's chariot) and a pack of the new g1 robot heroes (blitzwing and hound). got in too late last night to post. also i can't find my camera at the moment so no pics. besides, most people know what they look like anyway.

     

    Being a History major in college there is nothing I like better then talking to older people, and unfortunatly my last grandparent passed my sophmore year of high school. I managed to get a Blitzwing from ebay..and before you assume i spent an arm an a leg, I got him all together with shipping for the exact same price it's being sold for as a pre order on BBTS.

  5. I hadnt done anything on Saturday so i decided to go on a little toy run to wal mart at 11 pm, just so i figured I hadnt wasted the whole day, and there i found on one of the pallets two cases of the new Gi Joe wave so i got 2x BBQ 2x Bazooka 2x BATS 2x Snow Serpents 2x Hawk and 2x SS. I really dont think the night crew at wal mart cares a whole lot cause i practically opened the boxes in front of the workers.

  6. Picked up double of all the new Gi Joes today...so it looks like a beat Buddykiller again. lol

     

    :tflaugh

     

    i'm just glad you don't live near me. at least i can get my singles :P

     

    have ya seen the new two-packs yet?

     

    also, the mail woman was nice to me today...

    now, if i can just get a g1 um i'll be set, but i highly doubt i'll be getting one, i refuse to pay over $25 for it. i hope to hell they'll pack some in with the two TRU exclusives, but i'm not holding my breath. WW megs ranks right up there with rodimus as a must have titanium with his only problem being the shoulders. if they'd only done all of the titaniums like this as far as the distribution of the diecast this line wouldn't have died JMO.

     

     

    No i havent seen the new Comic Packs, my wal mart just restocked a ridiculous amount of comic packs wave 1-3 and my target which used to be good for toys has now become slow with them and dont even ask about my shopko. Atleast I was able to pick up the new Force Unleashed Rancor from Target today, and let me tell you now that the Rancor is freakin HUGE!

  7. after a horrible night (had to take care of my grandpa all night @ the hospital) i awoke to a farging AWESOME morning!!

    i'm almost done with wave 7 and i'm almost done with wave 8. i just need a wave 7 duke and a wave 8 snake eyes and i'll be finished with them. i can't believe how fast these waves have been spreading, wave 8 is just crazy.

     

    Oh man Buddykiller you actually beat me this time finding the new joes...but hey I guess i deserve it after the last time I posted me huge joe haul. :tflaugh

  8. I dont think you have to worry about finding the joes, they are shipping alot of them to wal marts, the only problems with mine is that the one set is in bad shape and the other is nice and mint...except i could not find another decent Duke because the other one had a really messed up bubble,so i have to wait to find a nice one.

     

    It still makes me sad that we both live in Minnesota, yet the toy selections seem world apart in the stores near where we live. You seem to have an easy time finding TFs and 'Joes, and I can't find them (particularly Joes) anywhere. The walmarts around here get a new case in, maybe once a month, and it's like a single case. I've gone to Walmarts, Targets, etc constantly, and I've only seen wave 6 in stores maybe twice, and I still have yet to see an armored CC. The pegs for Joes are always bare around here.

     

    Really? I'd have thought that since you live in Minneapolis the stores would get more figures in, since it is afterall the capital.

     

    My only guess is that in such a large area, there are a higher concentration of collectors and/or scalpers, who are buying up all the figures. Not that I really care that people buy multiples or anything, but it seems like every person who's found wave 7 thus far on the various forums I've been to have either bought the store out of every figure, or bought like, three copies of each figure. Ok, I can understand army building the generics and such, but do people really need like, 6 Snake Eyes...? It's what prevents everybody from getting a shot at these figures. I don't even know if they just aren't out in the area yet, or if I've just been totally missing them altogether. About the only wave I got lucky on was Wave 5, which I found complete back in like November of last year, then I never saw them all together again. I see IG Destro and Snow Job occasionally, but those are the only ones from that wave I ever see anymore. Wave 4 I never even saw until about January of this year.

     

    Oh, i dont really think there are any scalpers in my area, and there are few collectors that I know of, that is why I am so lucky to always be able to get things right away when they come out; that is why I always tell people I am the best Damn Toy Hunter in Mankato lol

  10. I found a premium series Jazz and Stealth Bumblebee this morning. Are the Premium Series Bumblebee and Barricade shipping in this assortment also??

     

    Well yesterday they stocked them at my wal mart and there wasnt a bumblebee but there was a premium barricade. so im pretty sure barricade is shipping with it too.
