I am still looking for a Piece of Crap Cobra Commander.  Looks like I have to go back to my old stomping grounds to find it.

I have 10 of the Cobra Commander did you want one?
Any Alley Vipers to spare  :wink:

No worries - only 2 more I think.  I am hoping to find these at retail today.

I saw a case of wave 1 figures at the local walmart, only the alley viper was missing.  I can't catch a break with this figure.  I even bought one off ebay only to be told they over sold and there were none left. :'(

Alley Viper will be in a couple of the later wave 2 assortments as well, so don't give up hope of finding them yet sports fans.

That's the attitude! The only reason I found mine is that I hit 4 Walmarts a day and be there when they first open at 7am.

Uh...

There are no words.

I found mine at Walmarts and Zellers just by going.  As others have said, have patience and there will be more.  Or like with other items, just wait and 3 months from now he won't be on anyone's radar and will be pretty cheap like most 25th stuff is now.

Yeah I just got mine by going into Wal-marts whenever I had a reason to be there. I am at the point I'd probably just leave any W1 stuff I find now, I have two open AV's and two sealed, and I feel like that's being greedy since I can't do anything cool with them anyways. If anyone wants me to scout for more here in London just let me know, we have three Wal-marts and I believe five Zellers.

Thanks for the offer Bandonov,  but I'll keep an eye out for now.  My Zellers has yet to stock POC figures and TRU should be bursting with figures in a month or so.

same here, the AV is out there, just have to be there at the right time I guess.  I used to collect Mcfarlane Sports Picks and getting to the chase figs was always a challenge.  if you missed them going out.. you missed the chases.  they never usually restocked them after that.  Hotwheels seem to be the big deal aswell.  there are lots of guys around here who collect or scalp treasure hunts from that line.  once a certian car has come and gone.. its gone too.  It seems that the Joe stuff gets restocked, or some from the one wave show up in later waves aswell.
