I live near DC, so I guess it could be the fact that there are just a lot more people around here- but still, are there really that many GI Joe collectors?
Generally, more people is going to mean fewer figures on the shelves, and the population density around DC is pretty damn high. I lived in Northern VA for the first two years of the 25th line's existence, and I can tell you they were
not
easy to find on shelves. The thing is, the movie line is not going to be the same as the 25th; its production run is far larger. I mean, of 37 figures, only 12 are so far hard to find; that's a big change from prior waves. There's no reason to think that W3 of both collections won't be just as plentiful as W1 and W2.
