So there is a cc, flint, python troop, viper and parka snake eyes still at the sanford walmart. the one by the mall. TRU and sanford and lake mary targets have nothing.

How many of you guys (and girls) have talked with the toy department managers at the stores (Target, Walmart, TRU)? I am wondering if the overall lack of product we seem to get here is due to to them not realizing the demand and not ordering enough. Does anyone here know if the department managers can influence the amount ordered or are these stores set up on automatic distribution? I just can`t understand how some stores in other states get huge quantities of Joes and we are fighting over scraps.

Honestly besides the elusive Wave-4 comic packs I have not had a single problem finding figures. I don't rely on others to find them for me and I am not really in any network with other posters.
Orlando has had every wave hit in a consistent and regular basis. Now there are a lot of small towns in Florida, like where I am from Clermont that I don't expect to see the shipping as extensive as the Walmarts near all the hotels in the Universal Studious area. So I hunt where I know the supply is. My system is easy: once I see that CharIjoe has hit gold, I venture out that next week and I end up finding everything that was released. This was until Wave-4 comic packs. I have not seen them anywhere? Luckily for me I had a friend who was out of state and wandered into a store and saw them. She called and I had her snatch up two sets. Thank God I did or I would be going nuts looking for them. |

I had south side Walmart here in St. Pete, not a mngr but an employee told me that the mngr of the toy department doesn't order them and focuses on these water toys and other figures just not joes. I don't look as much as I was but whenever my girl is working she lets me know if any are in and I think Target is different whereas they are automated.
