This. I only wait for stuff on clearance if it's something I'm going to be buying multiples of. I've bought all the POC vehicles for full price except for the Doom Cycle. Which ironically enough, was only appealing once it was on clearance. lol.

yeah I almost grabbed that one on clearance too but didnt want it bad enough, Noks arent in my verse so there's no need for it. I'll definitely be grabbing as many Vamps as I can this time around and reselling the vehicle I just want the drivers. The Skystriker I am looking forward to the most I cant wait to relive the moment of seeing it in TRU as a kid and not being able to get it, as opposed to this time im going to go get it! and hopefully a couple extras too.

only POC vehicle I've bought so far is the AWE Striker. I'd totally by the VAMP if I could find one, lol.

Not a sighting but a confirmation of non-stockage: Rugged Wearhouse (which are part of the Gabriel Brothers discount stores everybody's harping on about) DO NOT carry toys.

The problem is that none of those vehicles are fantastic. I buy things I think are good like figures, the Vamp II and Hiss v5 for retail. The alphas are just rereleases (ghost hawk and awe) and goofy (cobra ice thingy and trike). It's just the completest in me that wants them.

And none of the walmarts or anyone else around me even bothered stocking Furys. So i had to get it on" clearance" to even get one at all.

That may be the case but i just can't see spending twenty five bucks for a vehicle that i can get for twelve. And besides that, ross was the place getting the black tanks which was the one i wanted to start with.

I'm not sure where the fault lies there. Is it Walmart or Hasbro? I've still yet to see a Vamp at retail (ended up getting mine from HTS w/free shipping). I do my best to support the line while it's at retail. I think there's no way they're going to keep sending Joe product to discount stores and keep the line viable.

Well when the retailers orders too much of a product, and folks get what they want a full price, well you to many items just sitting there not being bought.
Retailers don't do a good job of product management and that why we don't see new items coming to the selves. on that note Target seems to do a better job than Walmart in this area
