Southgate is on the South side of Detroit between Wyandotte and Romulus.

Hmm, couldn't find it. Targets website only shows 1 target south of detroit, and they didn't have any xevoz. If I was going east on I-94, how would I get to this target?

Hop on to I-75 South and get off at Eureka road. That should put you right next to Southland mall, the Target is in one of the outlots.

Well, for any Ann Arbor/ Ypsilanti people still on the lookout for Wave 3 figures, the Carpenter Road Target just re-stocked their basics and deluxes yet again (this morning I believe).
They had what appeared to be 1 full case of wave 3 on the pegs (including a SW and a TW), but from the number of Quick Slingers they may have actually had 2 cases to begin with. They also had a couple CCs left. I was in the area last Friday and although I haven't been looking for anything I decided to pop in real quick and they had 1 CK/PC 2 pack left (and no basic or deluxe figures which is why I believe that these were stocked just today), but that was gone when I stopped back in today.
Anyway, I left everything behind, since I've already scored 2 of everything in the weeks past (although that Storm Wing almost came home with me for a custom that I want to do, yep I'm actually planning to do some real customizing in the near future), so if you're still looking for wave 3 now is the time to strike.
Also, I didn't check Wal-mart, but I wouldn't be surprised if they got in another shipment of wave 3 again this morning also.
On that note, it appears that both the Target and the Wal-Mart in Ypsilanti restock Xevoz every Monday morning, or at least that is the way it's been going the past 3 weeks now, so if you miss out on this shipment, your best bet will probably be next Monday morning or early Monday afternoon (or if you're really lucky Tuesday at the latest).
Good luck all Ann Arbor/Ypsi Xevoz hunters.....

Anyone in south-east Michigan still need the CK vs. PC pack? Just picked one up at the Target at Coolidge and Maple Road in Troy. They had 2 others left. Several Iron Spectre sets, but no other series 3.
Also... some local Meijer stores here have the booster packs for half off... $3.50. Seeing lots of waves 1 and 2 but no wave 3s on sale at the ones I've stopped at.
Have not spotted any Crypt Curses anywhere. Anyone else having luck with him? I need some tips if you see him anywhere in Oakland County.
Good luck!

Huh, is this a clearance thing, or a sale thing. I was just in Meijers a couple of days back (actually 3 different ones at different times over the past week), and I haven't seen this sale going on at any of them.
It would certainly resolve my question of whether to buy yet another Razorclaw a couple more Skull Jacks and a couple more Dune Stingers. If I found them at half price I would snatch up all of the above in a heartbeat, and maybe even another Alpha to boot. 6 figures for $21 would so totally rock!

Unlikely this is a clearance sale, since the Fall reset has already been finished. Chances are the Wave 1 stuff has been deemed dead stock and signals new stock will be shortly arriving.

Uhhhh, I wasn't implying that they were clearancing and dropping the line if that's what you're inferring from my question Giger. If they have declared wave 1 (and from the sounds of it also wave 2) dead stock in anticipation of wave 3 rolling in (which I am surprised that it hasn't yet since Illinois Meijers have had them for nearly a month now), then isn't that a clearance sale? Since afterall, it's clearing out the old to bring in the new right? I'm more curious, since I have a hard time believing that there are still basics on clearance after nearly 2 months (and since this is not the first $3.50 for basics sale/clearance at a Meijers that I have heard of, but have yet to see), if this is some kind of rolling sale that I should expect/hope for to hit one of the Meijers that I frequent. You see, I'm looking to pick up a handful of figures for some customizing and kitbashing, but I would rather wait for a nice little sale of some kind (call it what you will), if there is one coming in the near future, and save myself some extra cash in the process. Half price (or buy 1 get 1) would make me giddy as a school girl, and may even lure me into buying even more than I had initially planned, especially since toys for tots is coming up and I would love to dump a bunch of Xevoz into the local collection bins.

Meijer, as well as most market-6 style stores have both a 'sale' price and a 'clearance' price. A sale is usually declared when a specific product is to be highlighted either through vendor promotion or because dead stock needs to be moved out for incoming product.
A 'clearance' sale is declared when a specific product has been discontinued and will no longer be carried. In the hardlines area, this means those clearanced items are moved to a clearance area, sometimes this is in the main aisle at Meijer.
I assumed since you said this is either 'a sale thing or a clearance thing' you were drawing the distinction.

Sorry... I should have cleared this up sooner...
The tags on the pegs for the boosters were the typical yellow "sale" tags as opposed to orange clearance tags, so I guess this was a regular sale type promotion.
I saw it at the Oxford Township Meijer, near where I live. I have noticed that some Meijers put certain items on sale, while others don't, so my store may have been the only one to put them on sale last week. Haven't been up since then so I don't know if it's still going on.

Were the 2-packs on sale at Meijer, and if so, how much were they? Were they also half off, making em $7.50? Also, is the sale still going on or has it been over awhile now? When I visit my relatives in Indiana there is a Meijer very close, if I can get some wave 1 figures half-off, I may have a reason to visit them and also may buy up the whole damn Xevoz inventory ;D I needs me some Bone Cutters and Skull Jacks.[/b]

A small update, for those still looking for the MoonStalker vs. HemoGoblin 2-pack, I found a pair of them at a K-mart in Jackson, MI earlier in the week.
They were in the old style packaging (flat rectangular box not sloped) on the shelf with a pair of ShadowB. vs. BoneC. 2-packs, which equals out to being one wave 2 casepack.
It's nice to finally start seeing some of the 2-packs showing up at other stores (especially the MS vs. HG which has been in short supply), it's just seem a bit odd that it was a wave 2 case instead of a wave 3 case at this point in the game (seeing as how this Kmart has the IS w/ transporter cases already).
