Target in Glen Burnie (North) had 30th wave 4. I quick looked through them, no Zombies of Airtight, but they had the others.

Airtight in TRU still there at 7 today.
Anyone looking for that awful RC Clone tank? It's $12 at Target, one left. Also have Grievous masks for $5. Not bad for the mask, it's electronic.

SHENANIGANS...
You guys tell me if I'm being paranoid here... Go into Columbia Target, and see full pegs of MU, but all just Patriot, new Thor, new Iron Fist, and refills. Odd, I thought. Checked the scanner, said there was backstock. Asked the very nice teller to see if he could pull some stock, I have been in daily searching for a figure. Guy (teenager, mind you, had no idea what I was looking for) comes back with a single Psylocke figure, says that's the only one they have backstocked, just that one figure style. Odd. Why would Target backstock the only figure in a wave that everyone is looking for? Why would they intentionally hoard all of the Psylocke figures in the back, and place all the pegwarmers on the peg? Is this some day guy hoarding rarities so he can scalp? Am I being paranoid? Why would Target backstock the rarest, most sought after figure? Why not put it on the pegs? Why backstock several of the same figure that is not on the sales floor? I call scalper on this Target.

And your assumptions will be yours.
Those stores get different products from different toylines when they receive their shipments. They don't get a shipments of only GIJOE items, meaning vehicles, figs 7 packs etc. They get whatever shows up on that truck. There is no organization to it. But hey, keep thinking that way and maybe you'll find some HISS scouts some day. Cheers! can't a brotha lay a solid foundation for a Star Wars quote?

I'm 100% there is an avid collector that hits up all three retailers on Dobbin Rd. each morning. TRU, Target and Walmart all seem to be missing HTF figures at the same time at any time I go up there early morning on a whim. TRU Columbia ran out of 2012 Marvel Legends figures in two days, MU is hit before we know about it and Zombie Vipers come to this area regularly but disappear once they get placed on shelves.....

They do this when the pegs are full of figures and there just isn't room for another in the allotted peg space; this happened to me twice with Joes were an associate would check in back and only bring out one figure for me. It happens but its legit.

I live 2 miles from all 3, and that's my zone, just don't get enough time in the week to hunt, and can go weeks at a time without hitting anything. lame sauce. for MU & Legends, that comic shop on Snowden is the cuprit I believe. They seem to have all the new ones (for inflated costs), and all 3 Dobbin shops are in their 5 minute commuting zone. for SW & others, I'm convinced the shop in Ellicott (All-time toys or something?) might be picking from the liter. I like that store though, it's clutch, and they have a ton of awesome stuff.

You got the wrong guy with the Star Wars quote man. I had no idea you were quoting from those movies.
