I live in an area without any nearby Wal-marts so I'm dependent on Target, TRU and a local chain (Fred Meyer) for my figs. It has been slim pickings on single carded figs since wave 7 hit. For some reason the Targets here had wave 7 within a few weeks of them being released but have yet to get anything from the later waves. They have gotten the DVD packs and vehicles, but no new singles or comic waves 4-5.

Hasbro basically shipped waves 7 and 8 concurrently, with 7 hitting distribution centers slightly before wave 8. Because toys are not FIFO (first in, first out), as new product came in, the old product got pushed behind new product. And when the distribution center filled orders for the stores, they grabbed the immediately available product (in this case, newer assortments) to send out. But now, we've gotten to the point that the "new product" is all sent out and sold, so they're pulling the backlog, which is basically wave 7. I know at my local Wally world, they just got a case of wave 7 in. And in April, they got a case of wave 1 Transformers Robot Heroes (wave 1 07, meaning this case had been sitting in the warehouse since at least June of 2007, and they were getting it in April of 2008)

KOTA is a ride on dinosaur that was on the Hasbro website front page that all of these Geeks who sat up all night long refreshing their computer screen hoping to be able to get the SDCC Cobra Commanders first has decided to make it a Running Joke around here!
