I saw the reports at Hisstank, so I checked the 3 closest stores by me and scored 3 Eel's & 3 Flint's at $3 each. Also report's that wave 12 is there as well, so I'll be checking the other stores in my area tomorrow for Divers & Ninja Vipers.


Also saw Marshall's is getting wave 13-Resolute Trooper, Duke, Cobra Commander, etc.

Thanks for the tip. Will check the ones near me.

I hit a FD store and didn't see them, nor peg space.

What is it all of the sudden with the lower rank stores getting the same figures as of late, Star Trek, 25th. Joes and vehiceles ??????????????

_________________

My Family Dollar had 2 cases of the Ninja Viper/Cobra Diver wave. No Eels

They just cut the top off the cases and set them on a high shelf. Nice display technique

_________________

I found the Eel wave. Only one of each figure. No Diver wave yet, but I'm still crossing my fingers. The $3 price-point is enticing especially when 80% will go towards customs.

I hit 3 more stores today and only saw wave 11, so I did pick up another Eel & Flint. Check the entire store, as I've found figures everywhere except in the toy section.

When is Marshalls getting the Resolute wave? I was there tonight and bupkiss. Just the Sharc-Ram-Firebat vehicles.
Is TJ Maxx getting them too?

Stuff like this blows me away. I never even saw half of that wave in stores. The only reason I even have an Eel is because my parents ordered one for me from HTS for my birthday. Hopefully I can hit up a Family Dollar while I'm home next week, because there aren't any here at school.

Found Ripper, Airborne, and Tripwire at a Family Dollar, and a BAT and Flash at Tuesday Morning. Hopefully I'll be able to find 2 Resolute Troopers at Marshall's, though. And maybe a VAMP as well?

If you have a Beall's/ Burke's outlet, they have the BAT wave for $6 a piece. A bit high, but considering the cost for loose figures on the 'Bay, not too bad.

I hit 4 different FD's in 2 days and nuthin, i hope this wave makes it into my area FD Stores.

Did you see an actual Firebat?!

And I think the reason ANY of these stores are getting stuff like this in -- Marshalls, Ross, TJMaxx, Big Lots, Family Dollar, whatever -- boils down to one simple thing.

K*B Toys is gone, and the toy companies want to get rid of this stuff SOMEhow.

Whether this is an IMPROVEMENT, given the chaotic and scattershot nature of the toy sections in stores like this, I'm not really prepared to say. On the one hand, it might offer more places to check, at better prices. On the other hand, there's little way of knowing who gets what, and my observation is, once it's gone, it's GONE. Still a few things from several lines I'm kicking myself over before I figured THAT one out...

Yep, my TJ Maxx had that same wave a while back, so I picked up the Firebat for a trade that fell through. No VAMP, sadly.

AAAAIIIGGGHH! I saw the Firebat at Marshalls a couple of months ago, passed on it at the time due to lack of $$$, and sort of want one for the AVAC (since I have a number of Swamp-Vipers here). So, of course, I haven't seen one locally since.

They had one FB, but at least 3 Sharcs. I wanted to get another VAMP, STINGER and HISS (v1).



Yeah, I've got mixed feelings about this too. Most of the TJ Maxx/Marshalls near me have pretty crappy toy sections, usually looking like the aftermath of a bombing. However I did get the elusive Alpine Set there, and for cheap. So that's a positive. But Toys aren't their main business and it shows. It'd be nice if there was a way to know when they'd be putting out certain waves. If I had known they were putting out the Wraith wave, I'd have waited, instead of picking one up from WS_Toys. I'm really hoping they get the Resolute wave, and the larger vehicles and dare I hope the Water Moccasin/Sting Raider.
