your not alone...two nights ago at walmart i saw one guy have a stack of like 20 indys in his arms...i mean this guy was sloppy just dropping whatever he didnt want on the floor and i just looked at him and was in shock just watching this guy tear up the section and when i say dropping i mean flinging them and tossing them and almost hitting people...RUDE...

yea i feel all ur pain i started to say to myself ill just let them come as they may. it gets you crazy after a while. i collect and mostly buy just one figure of each so when they just take evrything evryday in and out in one shot u have to just relax i luv the hobby but im not gonna camp outside and sleep there till they stock ill have fun and hunt but when the waves 1st hit u have to just be lucky wave 7 i got lucky and got all of them in one shot except for spirit and wild bill that they did have but i couldnt get all of them at the time so i left them hoping id get them next run and that diddnt happen

Man, I could troop build MASS Device CC's and Snake-eyes all day long around here. "Ninja's are cool, they'll grab the kids..." Thanks for the two per case Hasbro. Now they fill the shelf twice as fast.

I do keep seeing Cartoon Carded Vipers so I know I'm just missing wave 8.

By the way, if you're out real late/real early and you see a zombified guy in a dirty, sweaty [most likely torn] grey t-shirt, matching jeans, and camo hat, I'm not a scalper... I'm just getting off from work. I know, I fit the ideal image, just smile and stay outside the burnt metal smell zone. I promise, I only take my share.

What I'd like to know is how this thread went from being about someone's toy hunt to a knockdown, drag out fight over GRAMMAR?!?

Admittedly, I laughed at the initial comment but shit... enough is enough! Move on please.

I was able to score all of wave 7 and 8 this past week except Major Bludd. Are we sure he is shipping with wave 8 like he was supposed to?

Yes, he is. You just aren't getting there soon enough. I thought I was gonna have a hard time finding TF Flint (since he was short packed) but each and everytime I've seen wave 8 at retail, I've seen (and purchased) him. :D

Now, what do I do with left over TF Flint parts? Not them arms though... that's why I bought extras (and my custom Tunnelrat thanks him).
