Ok, I went back to the same store and the sw section still mocked me but in the Joe section, they had restocked two pegs of the clearance retaliation figures, marked the 50th two pack vs sets to $10 each and look at this crazy dedicated peg to 2010 Joe figs that wasn't there a couple of weeks ago.
   All they had was gen hawk, blowtorch, and the cc but I wonder if it is a chain wide thing for them to all of a sudden have them or perhaps this store just found them in a corner somewhere.

Wow, I hope other folks get as lucky. Good news on the pegs for once. Kinda sad we get so excited about older figures, but at least they have articulation.

Seen these were set down to a new price in my local tru this week.
I don't know where they are going to put the new stuff come force Friday because their sw section is filled with a lot of junk.

Their new joe items are trickling in.
They are getting the silent strike set 2 per 1 case for 2 trucks in a row now and had just gotten 1 case of the three packs so far.

No new sw here.
Been checking the various stores for the limited but accelerating distribution of the new 50th joes and the sw isles are full of empty pegs and fodder.

This post was more to mention that TRU.com just posted the complete wave of joes on their site this morning.
I squeezed in an order for some three packs but when they released the two packs for home delivery,"including the one everyone wants", the site quickly became too clogged to move.
I did have the two pack in my cart and had it yanked from me during checkout like so many others, I'm sure.
They don't restrict the allowed orders like HTS does.

Gotta be at the right place at the right
Time for that one.

I seen it, more site games.
Available for in store pickup only. Of the 4 stores near me, the only one that came up as an option isn't a store in the first place but is a shipping hub.
My guess is that if I go to the door and ask for a snow trooper commander there, they will look at me like I have horns on my head.

The two tru joe items I want always say " notify me when available but they never are". Their store pegs are stuffed with the other packs so those two will likely not be restocked.

And I thought that tru exclusives were easier to find.

I'm sure I'll find some. I have like 3-4 stores within driving distance

I do have a local site that reports on Kc finds but there is not as much traffic to get regular reports.
 They reported 6 at one store yesterday morning

Always appreciated, my friend.

Ship to home still not available.
The two htf Joe packs are not on the sites list anymore. They used to say the same thing but they will disappear sometimes as they are only available in rare spurts, I suppose.
