I went to my target and Wally today, no peg spce for Joes at all! Whats up with that?? Its going to really not be cool if TRU is the only place to find Joes this fall. Not that it hasnt already sort of been that way but Walmart has come through a few times. Ugh I am glad I preordered my case! as soon as it gets here I will be doing reviews. I am really hoping it comes tomorrow so that I have the weekend to do that.

Dan that seat rocks i saw it on facebook too I liked the one with lots of colors. Cant wait to see it painted. I would love to get one and paint it up for a Ghost Ninja henchmen king!

Wow Dan this is just too cool. I have to go share that.

My time on the internet has been so spotty this week, but that is something that is too cool to just sit here.

Same story here Chad. Went to my walmart, shelves all reset, No new SW figures and NO SPACE FOR GI JOES! This is going to suck!

Went to my closest Walmart this weekend. Reset had happened with all wave 1 joes on the pegs. Scored a retaliation trooper that wasnt there last time but I have no faith that they will get any current or future waves.
They had some black series 3 3/4 figures with the bubbles all crushed. I mean, they looked like they had been run over by a car or something. I got a pic of one I will post later.

Gi-joe collectors club sent me an email today telling me that my wave 3.5 cases shipped, finally.

I would order a wave 4 case but have no desire to buy another roadblock or storm shadow carry forward fig.

So i bit the bullet today and started picking up some joes for customizing. I dont have the heart to mess around on my SW or any SW for that matter. The joes i picked up are:

Cobra legions with Storm Shadow, Cobra Trooper, Cobra Commander, Cobra Vehicle Driver, and Cobra Air Trooper.
Senior Ranking officers with Crimson Gaurd Officer, Crimson Gaurd Trooper, and Cobra Commander.
Rise Of The Cobra Neo-Viper.

First I have heard of brick and mortar wave 3.5.

Kinda sad that the etailers are already out with wave 4 while you are just seeing 3.5 hit regular retail. Oh well, at least you are seeing new figures.

Wave 3.5 is showing up at Walgreens! I saw SS and SE today in Orlando. I plan on hitting every Walgreens I see while on vacation looking for a Data-Viper!
