Up here in the GNW they are fairly regularly restocked. I can usually find half of a set at any Target. The modern figures have grown a bit hard to find though.

Now IJ boxed vehicles, that is another story. :?

Went to Target today near the OSU campus and nothing but two lonely U.S. guys and cobwebs... :roll: But never the less I picked up another IJ motorbike and some figs. I found a bunch of FOV stuff at the Target on morse rd a few weeks ago though so I'm not going to complain just yet.

The modern Marines and Soldiers have been gone long ago back in March here in SoCal, never got a chance to work on a second set. :( I hope FOV will re-release these guys in Fall. The WWII figs were abundant until IJ hit the stores, and are starting to be empty in most Targets, certain Targets will have a few here and there.

i've always asked myself, why the empty pegs when they never got restock for the last 3 months. shouldn't the pegs removed by now?

No. If the business still carries the product, it won't remove the pegs. There are more coming...just slowly.

Here in Ky, we've had these figures - and in abundance - since Christmas.

There are a couple Germans at my local targets, but nothing else. Not even a Bradley!

Have quite a few of both the US and German figs in Northern CA Targets. The modern troops are long gone though.

At one Target by me, there's only modern troops. I only saw one or two restocks of the WWII. I love them a lot, I need more. I wish the new XD soldiers would show up as well.
