Hover, if you're looking for the LAV...most of the TRU's I've visited in Md (Rockville/Wheaton/Gaith) all had some sitting on the shelves, along with the Hammerhead, which I was actually fortunate enough to find 4 right before Christmas. Still hoping to see the Amtrack and Paladin. A good way I've found to see when they start hitting the shelves, is to keep an eye on evilbay, and when you start seeing 6-7 different sellers, who all pretty much copy and past the exact same header/description, and list the item as "HTF" or "RARE"...you know it's widely available..lol That held true last week when I noticed a boatload of LAV's available on Ebay all of the sudden (with absurd Buy it now prices mind you) and I chanced it, and hit a local TRU, and found 4 on the shelf, and just for Sh!ts and grins, I checked the other stores, and sure enough..all had LAV's sitting on the shelves.
On a similiar not (hover) if you're into kit form modeling, Hobby Works is having their annual sale, where they have an entire aisle with sale merchandise and they increase the discount by 10% every week till they hit a certain percentage, and this week they're up to 30% off. They've got some Can-do, some Dragon Wings (no armor as of yet) and had some Corgi stuff as well and a ton of FOV (older stuff). Also, theres going to be a model show (tons of vendors as well) next Saturday, April 9th at Fairfax HS. Last year I picked up some Armour diecast and some Dragon diecast at great prices, so if you're free in the AM, you should go check it out.
