This seems a little nuts to me. I run a business and rule number one is that if you don't have product you can't sell anything. Everywhere my boys and I go we see empty hooks. It's been that way for weeks. I don't really understand how people keep saying that this brand doesn't sell well. Everytime it hits the shelves it sells out. Anyone else sick of looking at captain America and iron man figs? Is the Joe line going to ever be like it was when we were kids in the 80s? Hell no. I understand that. I also understand not stocking too much so you are not left with a billion pegwarmers. However looking at how bleak it is here in the pnw shows me that something is seriously f-ed here.
I could buy on the web. I understand that but I'm a single income earner for a family of four so it's not my first choice. Plus I run a brick and mortar bike shop. We compete with the Internet every day. Even something as minuscule as a stupid plastic action figure from freddies supports your local economy and in these times isn't that important? Besides its kind of awesome to scour the pegs (when full) with your kids and see them get stoked.
If anyone in the puyallup/Tacoma area has some spares for sale PM me. My son REALLY wants a Law and Order. We are also looking for the new stalker, techno viper, renagades cobra trooper, and storm shadow (fat chance on that one). They don't head to be in packages or anything as they're just going to get opened and played with.
Thanks for letting me rant!
