Didnt really see this posted elsewhere, so here it goes: Tuesday Morning stores are selling wave 4 and apparently some of the Transport/IS cases from 3. Prices seem to be the same as those at Big Lots. Vs. Packs - 5.99 Basics - 2.99 Transport/IS case - 9.99 This was in Saginaw, Michigan. Picked up 1 FP, 1 HG, 2 Vs. packs, 1 case. Pretty much cleaned 'em out, left 1 HG. No sight of any ITs, but did spend about a half hour looking. The stock in these stores is strewn about and picked through in certain sections. The "action figure" section of the aisle has got stuff everywhere, and I didnt even spot any Xevoz at first. Make sure to look closely. www.tuesdaymorning.com - Store locator on the site. EDIT - Its also worth mentioning that these stores also carry a lot of other decent toys. Most notably, I found some Transformers at pretty low prices (like Universe DepthCharge for 9.99). They also have some of the TRU G1 reissues for cheap. At this particular Tues. Morning in Saginaw, they had a Rodimus Prime reissue for 7.99 (I believe original retail was $35-40). I picked up an Energon Blackout fig for 3.99...not bad, considering it was the first time I actually found it at retail.

Wow, I have one a block away. I guess I need to stop buy.

Yeah, I'll be checking at least one other location in Michigan this weekend just to confirm this was not an isolated incident. However, I am seeing this posted at other boards as well, so I doubt its as 'hit or miss' as Dollar Tree.

The Tuesday Morning in Twin Falls, ID had three 2 packs, 1 IT and 1 FP. "Had" being the operative word. I was thrilled to find what I did at these prices, but the clerk was saying someone else purchased a ton of these just the other day.

I was able to find 2 ITs and 2 FPs at the Tuesday morning less than a mile from my house. These have already been claimed for a memeber who has already asked me for assistance in obtaining figs.

I found a few more Xevoz Wave 4 at another Tuesday Morning today.
A word of advice about this store:
When searching through their aisle, be sure you have a lot of patience and a skillful eye. It's not the most well arranged store, well, at least their toy aisle; it's dang deplorable in fact. I've only been to two stores, so maybe they are not all like this, but I'm 2-0 on this so far, so I wouldn't be surprised if another store I visit will be like this. Toys are scattered anywhere and everywhere in this aisle. If you gave up on trying to find Waldo in all those books, then this store is not for you.
I spent maybe 30 minutes to turn up 2 ITs, 1 FP, and a Wave 4 two-pack at this store. For all I know, there might have been more, but it's in such disarray that I'll never know for certain.
Good luck.

Found a local Tuesday Morning store and walked out with: 2 Hyper Guardians 3 Infiltraitors 1 Franken Punker 1 BAT case w/ Iron Spectre. 6 Runeslayer vs. Firedrake 2packs
The Basics were $2.99, 2packs were $5.99, and the Iron Spectre was $9.99. It added up to $67 and some change, but it was well worth it.

Reason I ask is that you'd be saving me a trip if I know the store is already clean.

have you seen any of the thunder shamens There were still a few at the 5 Below store near my in-laws. I PM'ed you re: Tomb Wraith, interested in a trade? I checked out a Tuesday Morning near me - I've never seen such a screwed-up toy aisle in my life. I gave up after about 20 minutes of digging thru toys, sporting goods, dolls and everything else piled on the shelves. Will check out another one tomorrow - hopefully I will have some luck.

Has anyone had their Tuesday Morning restock Xevoz? I wouldn't mind going back since it's not out of the way, but I kinda got the impression that what they had was what they had.

Good to see that these are being found all over. I was able to check one other location this weekend, but could not find anything. Its worth noting that I could not find any Transformers as well, or anything real decent, so this particular location (Bloomfield Hills, Michigan) was probably cleaned out recently.
The stock in this place was also literally strewn about. So far, its 3/3 as far as that trend goes (that I've seen first hand), which is somewhat disappointing.
Also, DVD, I dont think that they'll be restocking Xevoz at all after the initial stock is sold. Transformer G1 reissues were first spotted at these places a few weeks (months?) ago and I have seen the locations I've checked restock those figures (or any TFs for that matter).
