So the only store i ever see Joes at is Walgreens. Walmart, Kmart, Toyrus never have any joes. Is this the way it is?

Looks like Walgreens and Toysrus might be the only places I have seen any new ones hit.

Stopped by my tru today and found a whopping five full cases of wave 3.5 joes on the pegs, apparently untouched. I took home an armload of ultimate duke and combat ninja figures.

Wow Clint, probably felt like Christmas in October! You are one of the few I know who has actually seen these alive in the wild!

I picked up a Kwinn today at TRU. Only new fig there, I guess the rest got raided out already.

Forgot to mention that I saw some Jurassic Park sets that had modern style Joe figures in them. Pretty cool.

Picked up a Budo and Ult. Storm Shadow from Dorksidetoys.com. Both are excellent figures. Probably gonna do a little touch up painting to Budo.

Just got my Marauder Gun-Runners Series 7 review set and am completely blown away by the crazy level of engineering in this set! Look for a full review in a few days :)

Found the remains of 2 cases of wave 4 figures at my local tru where the joe pegs had been empty for at least two months. Only one night viper. Someone must have scored the other one.

I'd say so!!  I was hoping to see a Night Viper, but all the stores I can get to for less than the price of shipping stopped carrying Joes.

It was like hitting a jackpot. It certainly padded the hurt I was feeling after seeing their paltry sw selection. That vintage packaging falcon was gone too. They must have put a decent clearance price on it.

Clearance prices would be about the only way I could stomach the new price for the vintage boxed falcon. I have the Legacy version and was hoping to replace the one in my display with the vintage box, but not at regular prices. I am hoping maybe some of these will show up at TJ Maxxes like the MMT.

Nice score Clint! I just got back from China and you know what, I could only find one store selling SW figures, so I snagged a 6" R2-D2. Anyway, we stayed in L.A. for two days when we came back and that is where I scored some Joe figures at a TRU. I got Lady Jaye, Joe Colton, and a Dark Ninja.
