Found all but the BAT tonight at my local Wal-borg. So, the hunt continues tomorrow...

(Of course now this means I have to pick up my share of the work on the review. Otherwise, Hawk will get angry and people don't like him when he's angry....)

I found them last night as well. I grabbed the Torpedo, BAT, and Snow Serpent as well as wave 3 Snake Eyes and Roadblock thanks to Gen. Hawk/ Leonarotdragon's reviews. Needless to say, I've been playing GI Joe on my desk all day

Man. I do not need an excuse to hunt right now. My free time is tight enough as is. Oh well. I needs me some new Joes, so off I go . . .

I just got a (hopefully) long-term temp job so I'm making money again. Just in time for new toys to come out. yay? :-/

They're at the Wal-Marts here in PA too. I just snagged a B.A.T., Snow Serpent, and Barbecue over lunch, at my local Whitehall store. Great figures! Happy hunting fellas.

Saw 'em at Wal-Mart near me a few days ago. The BAT is fairly obvious to spot given the yellow boots.

I just missed these by less than a day. My local Wal-Mart had nothing yesterday. Today after work, they had two Black Ninjas, and a couple of Torpedos and Wild Bills on non-25th cards.... and nothing else. Oh well, at least they're shipping on time.

Yeah, that's what we have, too. Except this one walmart that got in what looks to be about seven cases of wave 4 (the box-set repack wave). So, all the Air Trooper went away really fast, as did most of the Storm Shadows, but the pegs there are still absolutely stuffed (seriously, I walked by them once and two figures fell off) with all the others. And no one wants them. So they'll just sit there forever and ever and ever. The really crappy part is that this is the walmart that is a) closest to me and b) has a manager who was just finally convinced to actually stock Joe items (before this, nothing. They didn't even get the last few waves of VvV stuff). So I'm imagining this isn't going to help.

One WM had the WB and torpedo on the new cards, another I found Hawk, Bazooka, and BBQ today. Very nice. They had the black Storm Shadow, but I had no interest in him.
