    Snagged them! Thanks!

    There was a Moonracer, a few Rippersnappers, and a Sludge at the Mills Civic Target in DSM, nothing else. Valley West has some Wave 1 Deluxes and Voyagers.

    Only one I'm missing now is Blackwing, who has been VERY elusive for some reason.

    Glad you found them! The whole wave 2 of deluxes and voyagers have been pretty elusive for me so far. Ankeny Target and Walmart had nothing as of last night.

    PotP Deluxe Wave 2 sighted at Merle Hay Mall Target in DSM. I snagged the lone Blackwing (FINALLY!) and left the rest. They had two of each: Sludge, Snarl, Moonracer, and Rippersnapper. Per Brickseek, the Urbandale Super Target also went from "Out of Stock" to "In Stock" this morning, so that may be another location that got a case. Go get 'em!

    Thanks for the tip Mark! I pounced on them like true warrior would (plus I live close to Merle Hay). Grabbed Snarl, Sludge, and Moonracer. Lots of Rippersnappers left. Now I'm the one who needs to find Blackwing yet, but he was my least wanted from the wave so I'm not in a rush.

    You might try calling or stopping by the Urbandale store for Blackwing. They were the other store that showed stock today. I was just closer to Merle Hay.

    Urbandale Target didn't have wave 2 - at least not out on the shelves. Didn't have time to talk to the service desk and forgot to bring any stock number along. i may check again here in a few days when I have some more time though.

    Ranz - where are you located? Are the figures loose (but complete I assume) or still in box?

    Im sorry, I must of missed your message by mere seconds. I had checked just before I returned them. They could still be at the s.e.14th st. Walmart. Hunger was only just opened, figure taken out then replaced. Elitea
    was unopened.
