The Legions set and the Joe set are everywhere, all my stores have the pegs, but very few have the figures. I had to resort to KB, TRU, and Ebay for my wave 3ers. Although I actually did the ebay thing in the middle (wanted FF badly!) and found the rest at TRU last weekend. It was a bit more exspensive, but coupled with the gasoline it takes to hunt them down I was glad to end the hunt. Zartan was the hardest for me to find. Haven't seen wave 2 since late September/early October. I'm hoping with the holidays we see more single packs around. I want a couple more troops and the fixed Beachhead.

I actually ordered a case of wave 5 from BBTS and hope to see it before Christmas, I'm dying for that Anni. CG!

I finally caved and picked up a Legion set earlier in the week. I really wanted that Stinger Driver. It's actually pretty nice, I mean the sound box and the troopers are great, but even the repainted Storm Shadow and Cobra Commander, though unnessessary, are decent enough. I want a few a few more Air Tropers so I might pick up an additional set and then wait for the wave 4 repackers.

I consider this in NO WAY as a continuation of the original Joe line, I think of it as a brand new series (think Vintage vs. Modern He-Man or Turtles). But it's neat to collect them and I like the anticipation of getting something new.

Me I love the hunt. The toys are a bit uhhhh (IMO) but it's a great way for my sons to get into it. As seeing their dad with boxes of rah style was'nt enough. they get one set to open and I get a set to display.

yeah walmart is pretty bad about getting anything in. i work there now and sadly i am dismayed everyday to find 4 empty pegs of where 25th should be. not a hide nor hair of it since i snatched up wave 1 three months ago.

I haven't even seen anything having to do with 25th anniversary at the Wal-Mart's in Canada, just the Sigma 6 stuff.

My Walmart keeps getting Wave 2 I think. Usually a Serpentor or 2 lots of Hooded CC's and quite a few Buzzers. Occasionally they might have SE or SS, but rarely. But it's nice some are on the shelf at least.

I saw at least 8 legions sets at a Wal-Mart today, as well as a few Joe sets. They had one single pack Cobra Commander. It's pretty much slim pickins right as far as singles go. Hopefully with Christmas coming waves 2-5 will be abundant...Hopefully!
