just because that's how they were found in your areas, doesn't mean that's how they were officially released. I found every wave, in order, on the first or second day of the original sightings.
and how you guys found certain waves before you found a previous wave has NOTHING to do with finding wave 10 before it's been released anywhere. |

Well, the same can be said of your luck. Unless one has copies of shipping orders from Hasbro's distribution centers that proves that waves were all universally sent out across the country in 1-2-3 order then it's all just a bunch of different folks reporting their various finds at different times. It's always going to be different for everyone. What matters most is when we find the figures as opposed to when Hasbro "releases" them. As for the O.P. (to get back on topic), we know that Wave 10 is coming so it's only a matter of time until it arrives everywhere. After all, you weren't jealous that your neck of the woods didn't get this wave first, are you...?

Also I'm sure it has been brought up before. If you look at the back of wave 4 wave 5 is pictured as coming out before wave4 and if you look at wave 5 backs there is no wave 4 figures on there. So I just thought that wave 5 came out before wave 4 they just f***** up! But when I looked at the case it stated wave 1 08 and when I looked at wave 4 case it said just that wave 4 07. regardless I was not in the loop as I am now being a part of hisstank and all. So I really can't say for sure what came out first!

luck had nothing to do with it. wave 4 was found all over the place a couple of weeks prior to the very first sightings of wave 5. That's a fact. Just because they were more difficult to find in certain areas, doesn't mean Hasbro released them later. The fact that the WERE found in lots of places prior to wave 5 coming out, proves they were released in the correct order. We don't need a Hasbro shipping orders to prove that. We're not talking about a wave getting released prior to a previous wave anyways. As far as I know, 10 comes after 9. And wave 9 has already been released. So what exactly was your original point in bringing up Hasbro releasing waves out of order? |

You know what.. THAT'S HILARIOUS!! I know I would be laughing if I could pull that off. Oh and speaking of the kids that open toys and lose the parts within the first 5 minutes. I saved 140 of the Hot Wheels 1966 TV Batmobiles from little children because I couldn't bare the thought of them scratching the paint or bending the axles of the Hot Wheel cars. My wife is still pissed because I spent 140+ dollars on 140 of the same car. Now if you want pics of that... I'll damn sure show you those!!

This reminds me of the guy who claimed to have found an empty Wave 9 box in the loading area of a Wal-Mart in PA (or somewhere back east). It was that report that caused me to start looking and, sure enough, just a few days later Wave 9 hit everywhere. He never claimed to have found figures, just the box.
Also, I don't think this would have been the first time figures hit in the US before being sighted overseas. I don't remember seeing a report of Wave 8 being found in the Philippines before they showed up here in Phoenix (I could be wrong, but I don't remember this happening).

Well i guess after reading this story i should be ashamed off myself, i was in a Walmart the other day and when i finally got to the toys there was a kid of a similar age with a certain gold destro comic pack in his hand that i (already had) but wanted a new one because my other one has a package imperfection. So i waited for like 10 mins in other aisles and when i came back it was just laying there so i picked it up and started to walk away because that was all i needed and low and behold as i started to walk away the kid comes running back into the aisle and started to look around for other joes and i'm not sure but i think he was looking for it cause it was laying on the shelf on top of another comic pack but i kept walking anyway. Then i came back like 10 mins later after he left just to double check. but there wasn't anything.I cant help but to feel bad even if my gf says that it wont be the end of the world mostly cause he wasn't a collector and just some kid who would of just torn it open but i feel bad anyway what do you guys think?

My question is... why does the overseas countries receive the figures first?? I can understand everything is made in China (even our own children), but isn't this basically an American company?? I mean the main office is in Pawtucket, RI... not any other country. So why can't we get all the love and figures here in our own country?
