And shit, I still havent seen wave 6 at retail. thank you bbts.
It's probably because Hasbro is trying to stretch everything out for the whole year. I can't believe you haven't seen wave 6 yet, I've seen it at least 10 times over in the past two months

i don't want to malign someone i have never heard of or dealt with... but, i could think of a couple of other possible reasons for a one-day auction:
1. the figures were acquired in a not-entirely-on-the-level manner, and he wants to get rid of them without drawing too much attention, or
2. the whole thing is a scam.

i don't want to discourage anyone from bidding on what may be a perfectly legit auction, as i have no real reason to believe either of those scenarios are fact. i just find it odd that only one person in all the USA has found the figs on the shelf/warehouse. i would have thought there would be at least a few others who would have immediately posted in the "Sightings" forum.

I just emailed the seller and asked where he got them from. He stated that he got them from a retail store last night.

the reason you people haven't seen wave 7 is because they wanted to jack the price up on thier whole order...

they will be 6.99 each when you next see them in stores... watch

1$ per figure.. or even .84 X 8 X thier whole inventory is some serious $$

If these have hit retail as the ebay seller would lead you to believe, then what's the timescale on BBTS sending out my pre-order?! Sheesh...

About time for them to show up if you ask me.

I just came from my Target and there singles are nowhere to be found of course the new price is already reflected!!!

Comic packs still 9.99, now those were stacked. Too bad I already have all of them.

I'm sure they are out already, seeing that he has 2 more sets to sell.
