Is it me or is wave 3 starting to flood the pegs?

Thursday I got a complete wave 2 and 3 at 2 different stores. Today I went into a target on my lunch break and a full wave 3 (-zartan)? It just seems like we're seeing some of the gear up for black friday?

thoughts??

That seems to be the idea, stores are bulking up for the season.

I'm seeing lots and lots of the figures not selling on eBay (cept the yellow Stalker) so all those dirty scalpers are gonna get stuck with inventory unless they start lowering their $9.99-12.99-19.99 prices per figure.

My .02 cents.

Waitaminute! I got see if this is true where I am!

I have seen the same thing in Oregon. Wave 3 has hit Targets and they are finally hanging around long enough to see a few days after they were stocked.

Wave 2 is still a ghost. Not sure if we will be getting more or not.

Still nothing in Boston...anybody out there feel differently?

I noticed BBTS had Preorders available for Wave 3. They were previously listed as sold out. That gives me more confidence my 10/03/07 order will be filled!

I think thats begining to happen here where I'm at. I'm glad this is happening so the people that didn't get a chance to get can get them. Hopefully the 2-4 pegs Joe's gets an even larger section like the Staw Wars and TransFormers...more selection like the golden age hehehe

Or they'll just return them to the retail stores from which they were purchased for a refund.

I am starting to see that here. Stores are stocking more than 1 case at a time, one Wal Mart had 8 cases worth of wave 2 out the other day. Every Target or Wal Mart I have been to had at least some Joes out (and not just SS, SE, & CC). I saw a Red Ninja and 2 Cobra Officers at a Target yesterday, and legions packs everywhere. I've also seen a bunch of Lady Jay and Buzzers on pegs. TRU had about 15 of the original Joe and Cobra 5 packs. I read on some thread that Hasbro said they were going to start shipping 25th Joes on planes rather than by boat to get them here faster, might be true b/c local retailers are getting shipments of wave 2 or 3 weekly now rather than monthly. Hope everyone is able to get their fill!

I can find wave 3 around here, but can't find wave 2 at all.

my brother went to walmart yesterday and said he found some of wave 3, so he asked the lady that works there if she was getting anymore and she checked on her thingy and said they were getting 300in but only 36 can fit on the pegs at one time, so she said keep checking back and i'm sure you'll find what your looking for!

I'm sure most will hit in time for black friday!!!
