atleast you had something to show for your trip other than a wave 7 figure. i would have liked to have at least gone home with one wave 9. unfortunately, i don't see this getting better despite how much hasbro claims to have increased production. maybe, just maybe, when wave 10 and 11 hits we might have a chance?
i am certain scalpers use these sightings forums for thier gain as well but it's the best chance we have as well. i know of no other person in my area collecting yet i'm constantly playing clean up so someone is reading....

Why not just PM those in your area when you make sightings? Give them first dibs and then post it a few hours later.
Arch, I am in Hagerstown area and I have crossed paths with 4 different people collecting Joes. I am not real outgoing, so I have not approached them. But I only know of one other person who has posted on here from my area. So I believe you are totally right that there are plenty of lurkers that just take the information and give none in return. This site has been very helpful most of the time for knowing when product will be out. But I have also found a lot of product simply by diligently checking stores. Oh my the gas I have wasted. Thankfully, I now have all I want until the next wave and have drastically cut my hunting trips. Why do I love these little plastic men and their vehicles? Here is to high hopes that W10 and W11 will be in great abundance. Sadly, I only want 1-2 from each of those waves. I am only afraid that will change when I walk in the store and see them hanging there in all their glory! GIVE ME 2 OF EACH, GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!!!!! |

i have no problems doing that but we are limited to 50 pm's and i'm always in the 40's with all the trade/sell/buying i do with members.
yeah, with any forum, about 10-15% actually post. a huge majority are lurkers. this is true with nearly every forum. it's just frustrating when i do a lot of hunting and share all my info only to apparently have it used against me. i'll still post my results because i believe in the sense of community, etc, etc, and all that mushy hoopla. what seems to work best is picking up what you can for others when you can. i started the maryland want list so we could easily track who wants what. this way lurkers could lurk and pm whomever when they get something on the list or be open about it. this has honestly worked better for me than lists of what is where. your either to late or distribution is just no equal. my area seems to get far less figures than the bmore area for example. its good info to have and if you can figure out the patterns, you can make it work for you. i do this with walmart info at times but i'm getting beaten to it more frequently. i also started the maryland social group. i can change this to be private where you have to be invited. we can use this as a private forum if you wish? i'm still not sure what to do with all the social/friend tools available. you will be notified shortly.
