Yeah, I couldn't stand the searching anymore. Just ordered 2 Jungle BATs, 2 Troopers, and 4 Steele Brigades from BBTS. Now that I blew a hundred bucks I know I'll find them at Walmart soon. Going to do a little hunt on Friday. I've been seeing a lot of Dukes and Tornado Kick Storm Shadow though.

I think the biggest problem is they send this stuff out to store in one shot, a couple of case...I'd estimate 2 or 3 of each wave. We run out, nail it and then were done until next wave arrives.
I think both us and Hasbro need to re-adjust our thinking on distribution and acquisition...clearly stores just are not ordering quantites of Joe that keep us happy...and I get why, I mean some of this stuff just sits there...see Arctic Destro as perfect example, but I think Hasbro needs to use HTS better...if stores aren't ordering large quantites than we need them available online. To me the answer would be to send the stores what they order and then do what stores like BBTS do...offer each wave one of each figure for sale at HTS...and then Troop Builder cases...the last wave we saw at retail had Viper, IG's and Rock Vipers, I think if we saw say a case of each offered at HTS people wouldd buy them...hell I think I'd do it just to avoid the running around hunting at this point. |

Happy I ordered my wave 5 and 6 from HTS. Would like to get more troop builders but I can wait.

Hey word is that Transformers Reveal the Shield figures are showing up at stores like TJ Maxx, Marshells and Ross.
If anybody finds an extra Grapple, Windcharger, Warpath let me know or if you can grab it for me. I hit a few stores today in central NJ but zilch. Thanks! |
