I saw the She Hulks at the Andover and Blaine Target stores last week.  I was at the Andover store yesterday but that one was gone.  Maybe give Blaine a call and they can hold it.  I haven't been back to that store since last week and haven't seen She Hulk anywhere else.  I'll keep an eye out for you.

I saw She-Hulk at a couple Targets last Wednesday.  Almost caved and bought all 8 between a few Target stores but in the end couldn't do it.

I received the King Greyskull figures on Friday.  Unfortunately, both were the regular version.  Maybe that's not so bad though because I'm definitely going to keep one of these in the package.  I had no idea that the thing had sound and lights in the box.  The packaging is very well done.  I'm also going to open one up soon but that may take a while because I don't want to wreck the package.

I apparently missed out on the new comic packs yesterday by not being at Target at opening.   ::)  Doesn't appear that they had the black headed Destro in the store, however. 

Tonight Target had a re-stock on the DVD Battle Packs and the Hawk/Bazooka/etc wave (whatever number that is).

   E...

I think I missed a lot of good stuff over the weekend because I took a break from toy hunting and slept in before working nights.  Now, when I go out this week there won't be much.  Hopefully, the Target Rattlers start showing up soon in the Target backrooms.  Can't wait for that plane.

Glad to hear some you had luck buying the Cobra Commander today.  I'm not that interested in the figure but if anyone wants to sell the podium I'll buy it.

I picked up the new Universe Deluxe cars and Octane a couple weeks ago.  Very cool.  I managed to find some with good enough paint jobs.  Passed on the Voyager repaints.  Will buy the Ultra wave as soon as I see them.

I just ordered 2 of the King Greyskull figures.  I hope I get 1 of each version.  Apparently they are sent in a sealed box and you may get the statue version.

There's some more sightings of wave 9 in California.  Maybe a new shipment from China has arrived and more will hit the stores by next week sometime.  The wave 5 comic packs will probably start hitting this weekend or next week since the Club received them.

Found the new DVD packs at Target today.  I think most Target stores have these now but it may be hard to get someone to get them out of the back room. 

Opened them up a little while ago and the figures, accessories and DVDs are all well done. 

Really like all the figures a lot even though they are repaints for the most part. 

Baroness is my favorite of the lot.  Wish the flippers were removable.  Feet may have been too small to make this work?

Destro is awesome with chrome head. This sculpt was my favorite of all to begin with and still sets the standard for this line.

Radioactive Snake Eyes is unique and cool looking even though it's yet another SE version. 

Stalker looks cool in yellow and green camo and comes with a cool jetpack. 

Lady Jaye's new head sculpt looks a lot better then the previous prototype pictures.

Roadblock has the same awful hands and is repainted a little.  Lease favorite of mine.  Plant accessory is cool.

Cobra Soldier has the newly resculpted waist piece which really helps.  Cobra sigil on chest is way too big but is just like in the cartoon.

Weather Dominator is very nice but a couple parts don't stay together very well when handled. 

MASS Device is cool so far.  In the meantime you can take the Weather Dominator and connect that to the top of the MASS Device base until the other parts come out.

DVDs have great packaging and the DVD itself has great artwork printed on it.  Haven't watched them yet.

The Wal-Mart display had 6 on each side.  So 12 per pallet.  Not a lot to go around.

I saw these at the Maple Grove, MN Wal-Mart early this morning but the sale was blocked at the register.

Was a fun day here at the Convention.  Th e parachute drop was a lot of fun watching but I didn't catch any on the balcony of floor 2 where I was standing. 

Ron Rudat and Kirk Bozigian's 1982 In The Beginning seminar was awesome.  They had a lot to say about how the whole toy line was created.

The Hasbro seminar was ok but they weren't giving out much information other than the fact that they like variants.

The sales floor was awesome because I hit the jackpot within the first minute at one dealer.  Here's a picture of my haul.  I'm also posting video and pictures from the sales floor.  I did have a video from Thursday night but it got messed up and I couldn't recover it.  I also may have a video of the parachute drop later.  These will all be in my Joecon gallery.
