Here's what I picked up today from the Newburgh NY WalMart & Target (Orton) -
Basic Series 5 Batista - Of course I didn't notice until I got home he was missing the tattoo on his right shoulder.
Whoops! - Rookie mistake I didn't look closely at the figure before I bought it.
Randy Orton - Could his thights be anymore massive?!
Batman: B&tB Batmobile -
The Tumbler -
Ninja Batman -
Scuba Batman -
So my wife is packing up her office in the city today because her depatment is moving to the facility in Madison NJ in a few weeks. So she took our daughter with her to help pack up. So I had a free day and decided it would be a good day to do one of my old NJ/NY Toy Runs. I went out with a small list of Mattel items I wanted to find...(in order)
ESR
Retro Mattel Batman (Like old Megos)
Flexforce Talking Orton
Legends 2
Elite 5 Kozlov
Flexforce Orton
Elite 5 Chavo
and a couple TRU Ex. Animated Transformers for a friend.
So I drove down to NJ and hit the Riverdale WalMart all they had were some Basic 4 figures and a Series 5 Batista. I was going to get Batista, until I noticed the stem holding his right hand was stretched causing his hand to flop in the blister. So I got nothing.
Next was the Riverdale Target - they had Legends 1, older FlexForce, FF Talking Series 1, Elite 4 & various Basics. Again I left with nothing.
After I hit the Booton NJ WalMart - Which had a bunch of Basics & 2-Packs. I left with 2 Batman Brave and the Bold figures which I now think I already have.
Then I hit the Parsippany KMart - They had Legends 1, PPV3, Kmart Ring, EG HBK & Rey, and some WWE kids shirts. Again I left with nothing.
Following KMart it was the Totowa TRU - Same as the other stores, but with old Jakks also. No Retro figures or animated Transformers at all. I left with nothing
Next stop Saddlebrook WalMart - They had Legends 1, PPV3 & 4, Elite 4, Best of 2-Packs. I left with nothing. Sensing a trend here.
After WM it was the Westwood NJ KMart - they had Legends 1, Elite 4, PPV3, Elite 1 Edge. and 2 EG HBK. So again nothing.
Finally I get back in Rockland county and decide to hit the 3 stores I go to here regularly -
Spring Valley NY Target - They had Legends 1, Elite 4, Various Basics, The newest FF minus Orton. so again nothing for me.
Nanuet NY TRU - A few Jakks CS/CSDA, Legends 1, Basic 3, Elite 2 & 3, 2-Packs Series 3 & 4. Retro figures just Lex & Sinestro. And the only Animated Transformers they had were Bumblebee and one other that wasn't on the list. So I left empty handed. I was going to get the Elite 2 HHH, but he was missing the water bottle & sledge.
Finally after a day of nothing I decided at the Palisades Center Target if they didn't have what I was out looking for I'd just buy a figure I wanted, but not in a rush for because I have both. They were figures I saw at every store I went to today - another Legends 1 Austin or Elite 4 Show to turn into an Andre. So there was nothing new at Target so I go to get Austin...Oh wait he's a RETURN without accessories in an ELITE 4 BIG SHOW BOX!
So I got nothing there either. lol Over 100 miles and a little more than a quarter of a tank of gas for nothing. What a waste of a day this was.
I guess tomorrow I'll try up north.
