Just venting here, but when Vipers came out they were hard to come by. But after a little time they were everywhere. Not so with BATs! Hasbro has made a dream scenario for scalpers.

after a while wit tha vipers, some people started realizing how much they hated tha hands, but tha b.a.t.s. are awesome. thats all i really think it is. i have 2 b.a.t.s., one i found at a walmart and another thru a trade wit icewolf (thanx). i bought a viper just to check it out, and it wasnt horrible but kinda weird, i took it back, they're not a rarity around here, so i can go pick up plenty anytime. tha sculpt of tha b.a.t.s. was just better all around

i have only known of 2 in our local Wally World and, My Wife picked them both up for Me. The only reason I got them was because I knew other tankers that could not find them were wanting to pick them up. I really could do with or without them Myself. I have been offering them up for several weeks now but, so far no takers with a reasonable price too...

So they must not be too hard to come by apparently. ?

I saw and bought plenty of BAT's when wave 9 first came out. Wave 9 was restocked regularly and I left many on the pegs. Saw them again with the revision waves. Haven't seen any in about 2 weeks as the earlier figures being released on the new cards are clogging the pegs.

It's all about distribution. Some got a bunch, other stores got very little.

Bats have been REALLY hard to come by in Tucson. Wave 9 was only released once on initial release. They've been a b*tch to find...

Between 2 Walmarts, 1 Target, and 1 Kmart, I've only seen two. Bought them both (at Walmart). I'd like some more...
