I look for MU, IM2 and PoC and no where in MD is stocking these three brands with new product. My local target has had 4 bare pegs for PoC for the last three weeks, the same three MU figures since July and the same initial IM2 figures that have dust on them. I go from TRU, Target and Walmart regularly since the beginning of the year a to my surprise about 85% of the time I come up empty handed. Now I make a decent salary so gas money isn't a major stress factor, its the energy of balanacing work, exercise, sleep and looking for something for several hours a week thats frustrating. This is a hobby that I can easily break if things don't improve with distribution. Also, when it goes on sale at online retailers they sell out before they become available.
For instance, California gets flooded with things weeks before us and when new product reach the east coast they are spread thin everywhere with all the most popular figures missing before they go on pegs. I'm into collecting but little plastic men just aren't worth all the trouble anymore.

Yeah, the only places I've seen PoC on the pegs are the TRU on route 40 and Wal-mart in Columbia (for $9.98 ea, when I last checked). Target has been bare every time I've looked - which, admittedly, hasn't been that much.

Hit a couple of Targets this morning:
Reistertown Target - Nothing Hunt Valley Target (York rd) - No new PoC, but did have a new case of MU wave 9. Picked up a winter soldier (short hair), iron spiderman, skrull, wrecker, MJ and iron patriot. Funny thing was, they had two iron patriots both were the variant with the osborn head, none of the regular version. Also the skrull base was in english. I thought it was in the skrull language. |

Target in Rockville got a case. My friend beat me to the JVs.
The one in Wheaton also got a case. I was able to get the JVs from there. Left everything else behind.
