JOE AT RETAIL

[DVD]

Found 3 Viper Lockdown sets and 6 Night Ops Humvees. Picked up a Humvee and a VL set for myself. Hopefully next week there's more.

[nevermore]

"DTC" Joes showed up at my TRU as well. They only had the BAT packs, Night Humvees and 1 case of Single packs. I picked up the lone Cobra Trooper but left the 2 SAW Vipers!

 

If u r in California's Central Valley u may want to go check out Modesto's TRU

I went to my TRU Thursday night...nothing. *sigh* Went back today, and BOOM, there was the Viper Lockdown set staring me in the face! WOO-HOO!! My eyes darted around for any single-carded figures, but unfortunately all I saw was the empty hook where they should be, or had been as they case may be. So I looked behind some of the other Joe toys on the lower shelves, and I caught a glimpse of a file card on a card back. Yes! I reached down to grab it, wondering who it might be, and pulled up a S.A.W. Viper! Yay! (lol)

 

I was just so thrilled to find this stuff at retail. I was very skeptical when I saw all of the reports and read the "rumors". Now it's confirmed. I just wish I could have scored a R.H.I.N.O. and some more Cobra Troops. But I'm perfectly happy with what I found. I was kinda straddling the fence so to speak concerning the Viper Lockdown set. It just screamed half-baked, after-thought-of-a-repaint-set to me from day one. But now that I have it in-hand, I have to say I absolutely love it. Joseph Colton comes with the DTC Barrel-Roll arms, and that upgraded the figure's construction for me, just as it did with the S.A.W. Viper. I don't know what it is about those arms. I guess I like them because they were really well designed, and anytime Hasbro uses them for a frankensteined figure, it seems to lend some respectability to the figure's construction. And I love the Interrogator figure. I agree with someone else's comments I read here somewhere around here where they said it was a prime example of the right previoulsy-used parts paired with great new ones to make the perfect frankensteined figure. Simply awesome. I just don't know how I'm gonna afford three more sets of these to round out my Vipers. (lol)

 

It's so exciting to find this stuff at retail, and I hope to see much more of it really soon. Good luck hunting guys!

 

 

P.S. Oh yeah, one more thing; the lady that rang me up had a problem scanning the single-carded figure and had to enter some weird code before it would ring up properly. I just found it peculiar and worth mentioning as it rang true with what others were reporting.

I went to a local TRU here in San Antonio and picked up some single packs. When I got there they only had about 8 single packs and 4 B.A.T. 6pks.

[PHAGE]

Unfortunately, my TRU closed last week.

 

But I intended to go down to El Paso to look (anyone know if the TRUs there have them?).

 

 

 

I live smack in the middle of both locations and nothing but S6 as of 5 pm

[Ccav]

found DTC wave 1, Bat6pack, and Hummvee's in AZ

[HMI]

I found wave 3 and the Viper Lockdown set.

 

The singles didn't ring up either. One of the employees got a SKN and they rang up for $4.99, so it was obviously the wrong SKN, but I'm not complaining.

 

I hope they get some wave 2 in. I want lots more Range Vipers and Snow Serpents.

[Cyber Bear]

I found Wave 3 and Viper Lockdowns at the TRU I least expected. The 2 huge stores had nothing but Hiss Tanks and this small one had the figs. I almost hope they get some wave 1 so I can have 2 more Crimson Guards.

[Dr. Strange Love]

For those of you that live in or near SA, TX, the TRU in Selma has wave 3, the Viper Lockdown sets

and a ton of old two packs.

 

 

Did Hasbro do away with battle points? I haven't seen any on the new cards.

[ransomz]

Yeah, the single packs I got at TRU didn't ring up either. The girl had to run and get the tag off the shelf, much to the annoyance of the line behind me.

[MaxPower]

I went to two Toys R Us's to find the new sigmasix BAT but had no luck with that.... BUT they did have DTC. One Toys R US in Cerritos CA had BAT 6packs and HUmmers. The other in BELLFLOWER CA had a bunch of HISS and BAT 6packs.

 

I was actually wanting to find Viper Lockdown but they didn't have any or any singles either.

Thats the report for here in the LosAngeles area.

[dellmorris]

Found the night ops Humvee with rollbar in Totowa, NJ TRU and the Rockaway TRU had out one viper lockdown pack (which I bought), two bat attack packs, and even more humvees. No single packs yet.

[Three Storms]

It still makes me very happy to see them return. Sure they weren't gone from stores for long, but still it's nice to see.
