This is even further evidenced by how much bigger the general admission audience was for JoeCon in Orlando versus other areas its been held. Despite that, it seems we are almost always the last group to get things in stores, if at all.
I agree completely bro! I remember back when the 25th anniversary stuff was hitting how hard it was to find good selections of product but you could come on the Tank and see pics of sections in stores from other states just drowning in figures. That's a big reason why I started ordering full sets online! I actually pre-ordered the Retaliation stuff for W2 & 3 but with Hasbro changing up the assortments, I'm not sure if and what I'll be getting.

We sometimes get the short end of the stick. Being in the most Southeastern state does not help.
I do agree I think we have one of the best groups of collectors and everyone helps everyone out a great deal. I am sure most of the wave 2 / 3 stuff will show up in the next couple weeks here.
Out of curiosity (not trolling, just confused), what part do you believe isn't true?
It's cool you found those 2 Retaliation items and others here have had rare occurrences of finding stuff early on here as well (myself included) but for the most part, I would say that over the past 6 or 7 years this area has regularly been the last to get product and when we do it's scarce.
I agree we will probably have the stuff soon (probably the 10th or 11th) but doesn't that coincide with what was being said in that we seem to always get stuff after most places?
