File under: "Better late than never"
A few days before Christmas I decided to see if Target had received the MU Professor-X wave. No luck, but among the Star Wars Vintage figures, in the pile of figures that fell off the pegs, was 1 lone Imperial Navy Commander (Death Squad Trooper for us old school folks), in great condition no less. I thought I missed out on this one. Needless to say I bought him (and he was on sale too).
A couple days later I popped into Walgreens for something and thought I'd take a glance at the toy aisle while I was there. GI Joe POC Blowtorch was all by his lonesome on a peg. I never saw anyone from this wave at retail down here in So FL (only got the Cobra Trooper through HTS). After seeing him I thought I'd check some of the other Walgreens in the area and so far I've found a Jungle Bat in one, Gen. Hawk, Steel Brigade trooper, & Blowtorch (x3) in another, and Gen. Hawk & a Cobra Trooper in yet another. So far the only one I haven't seen from the wave has been Cobra Commander, but he's probably out there. If you missed out on this wave like me (it was released back in Apr-May of 2011) check your nearest Walgreens.
Now if only I could find POC Low Light, and Renegades Storm Shadow...
