Went to Walmart today to peruse the comic packs and found wave 5 Tripwire and CC comic pack. It was laying on the shelf right under the packs on the pegs. I couldn't believe my luck to find it just laying there, looked for the other new packs but no luck on those. That Walmart had many of the wave 9 figures and the dvd packs. Went over to Target from there and found more wave 9 including 2 bats one of which I picked up. It seems Hasbro is finally catching up a bit with the demand, at least in my area. Are other Tankers noticing more on the shelves as well lately, or did I just get there at the right time?

I have noticed wave 9 distrabution picking up a bit, I managed to pick up sevral Snow Serpents and a couple of bats over the weekend. I have also seen wave 9 minus troop builders at several walmarts, multiple cases of them. Almost close to when wave 8 hit. This is a good sign and hope to pick up more troop builders but hopefully the rest of wave 9 doesnt clogg the pegs and dicurage new orders! ( I'm talking about you BBQ!)

Nothing here in southeast Georgia. It's amazing how North Carolina has had new shipments, Louisiana and Arkansas have had new shipments, but the three states in the lower southeast have seen nothing. West Coast folks are already getting revision cases. Something's not adding up. Normally we get them 3-5 days after the West Coast. I went in my Wal-Mart today and they still have the same 40 on order but not in transit, meaning they're not even at their warehouse yet. Been that way for over a month. Anyone got any theories on what's going on down here in the armpit of the south???

Distribution across the country seems rather random to me, more so than the Star Wars definitely. Its hard to know why there are such disparities out there in terms of stock. Unless they are looking at buying patterns of their customers to see which regions are selling or not as much. Its interesting to see what other Tankers are seeing out there in the stores.
Oh btw, has anybody heard if Hasbro is planning on producing a new Cobra Stinger? I think I read here from someone discussing the possibility anyway. I hope they do, was one of my favorites as a kid.
