Did my tour today and found nothing new. TRU in Bloomington had labeled pegs, but nothing new. Wal-Mart in Bloomington had a fresh CS 16 case, but thats it ( besides 10 Heymans ) TRU in Burnsville had full pegs, but again nothing new. Same with Wal-Mart In Apple valley & Eagan.  Til next week. |

Hello, luxzombie. I am also in St. Paul and have probably driven off $100 in gas within the last month looking for the new stuff (CS17, UMF5,6)... I've gotta hunch that things will happen later this week or this weekend. I am seeing that here in the cities' it is the case that only WM Supercenters are carrying CS (not sure what you collect, but post it and I will keep an eye open for you). The "regular" WM's are clearancing out their product, but it is mostly DDP and HTM.
I've been jonesing for new product for so long that I broke down and bought the CS3 Freebirds variant (Terry Gordy w/o taped wrists). Let's keep the faith, keep up on this board, and tag-team on the local market!

ha a minnesota thread.
i have been lookin all over for cs 17 as well. and nothing.
frustrating that burnsville tru used to always get things on time, but have kinda fallen back and are overstocked.
can we help each other find the walmart 3 packs? the walmarts around here rarely get store exclusives for some reason, and i would like to get the three packs for my brother

Ya man, dig it. I think it is a good idea to help collectors find the stuff before the "business men" do!! I stopped at the Bloomington Wal-Mart again today, no 3 packs yet.

I live in MN also. Don't bother checking the Eden Prairie Wal Mart since they never have anything. I was there today and it's been the same stuff for a few months. I also checked the Bloomington TRU and they had the same old crap.

Greetings badbriancool and Arik Cannon! We've got ourselves a little posse over here in the North Star State!
I hit the Maplewood TRU this afternoon... nuffum new. Then Oakdale Kmart... how do they stay in business? They have had the same 4 shelfwarmers for the past year (Perfect [black], Moolah, a couple others of that sort). Went to Stillwater WM, picked up an old TNA AJ Styles (I have a few TNA, but not a dedicated collector). Then hit Hudson WM (no CS pegs, no clearance), and finally Woodbury WM, where they had a few series 10's (Maivia, AD Dusty Rhodes, Bruno S., Harley Race), but no new 3-packs.
If anyone comes across some clearance 3-packs (specifically the Freebirds), lemme know where I can find them. I have a weird idea for a custom that requires the head of Buddy Roberts, but I am reluctant to drop $30 just for that.

I live in Stillwater, and I know where you stopped. Oakdale's K-Mart is BAD. Really, Really bad. Maplewood K Mart is alot worse. All they have is CS 13 Droz, RA 19 Rob Conway, and tons of Orton/Edge packs.

I am going to the Wal Mart in Brooklyn Park tonight (with my bullet proof vest) after I get off work. I need to go to that one since it's 24 hours and I have to work late. I'll let you know what I find. I havent been to that one in about 8 months.

Yeah, I stopped in at the Bloomington TRU this AM as well, but no dice. I DID pick up a couple of figs at the Bloomington WM... the package variations for UW and Warlord (some versions have the word "THE" preceding "ULTIMATE WARRIOR", "WARLORD", and "BARBARIAN", these did not). Now all I need is the "no THE" Barbarian. If you guys find one (and don't want it for yourselves), lemme know. I don't go too far out of my way to acquire package/figure variations, but I will usually pick one up if it isn't to pricey. Speaking of variations, I am also looking for Zeus w/ pipe.
If there are any figs you guys are looking for, post them here and I will let you know if I come across them.

I'ts kind of a far drive but KB Toys in Albertville has those CS3 packs of the Freebirds for $20. If you havent found them by the time I go there agian (probably within 3 weeks) I'll pick them up for you |

I live near Rochester but was never able to get that fig. or the Warrior from that series. Too bad! I actually saw both of them yesterday (Sat) at the Inver Grove WM. I would've grabbed them for you if I had known. Give 'em a call and see if they are still there (GG was in back of top peg, UW was in middle of second or third peg down). They might be gone by now, but I'm quite sure you'll get another crack at them before long... they are just starting to show up at WM Supercenters. |

I have a Gonzales. I got it on Christmas Eve at Maplewood's TRU. It was just sitting there, with the rest of CS 16. We had to put it on hold though, as I had to go to an appointment.

I checked Wal Marts in Shakopee, Apple Valley, Eagan, Brooklyn Park, Eden Prairie abd Bloomington over the last 4 days and there were no signs of the new 3 packs. I also called the one in St. Paul and they said they didn't have them either.

GOT 'EM!
Found the new 3-packs at Bloomington WM. There were 2 of the Flair combos and 1 of the Animals, the Flair I left had grayer hair then the one I kept (I have nothing to compare it to, so I don't know which is more "correct"). The icing on the cake was a Sycho Sid w/ knee pads, so keep your eyes open, fellas!
