Hey everybody. Finally got the email saying my 25th waves 2 and 3 are shipping from BBTS on Friday. Had already given up on finding them on the shelves. Hadn't seen schmidt since wave one (first week of wave 1 mind you). Walk into the next town overs WM last night. BAM!!! Wave 2 and 3 on the pegs. All but Serpentor and Lady Jaye. Never freaking fails. Bought 'em all out of impatience anyway. Now I guess I've gotta pick up another set of 5 packs so my son can have them too. Just thought I'd share.

I've mentioned this on a few threads, so I promise it's the last you'll hear about it. My BBTS wave 4 order just got here today. Just a few days ago I was thinking that this is the first time I'd most likely get them shipped well before I ever see them in the store. Well, last night, I found them!

I've heard so many complaints about the pre-orders that I've stayed away from them. I'm starting to question that decision as I'm still trying to find wave 3. I stumbled on a lone "pre-fix" Firefly a couple weeks ago at K-Mart (I think they skipped waves 1 & 2) while Wal-Mart is still stocking cases upon cases of wave 2. Actually, I'm beginning to think the only thing in the cases they are getting is CC, Serp., LJ and Buzzer.

At least you guys are getting them. In Canada here, we havent seen anything other than a few 5-packs.
Pre-orders are really the only way we can get them at all other than ebay (which is where I've gotten most of my 25th stuff so far) or if you're lucky enough to live near the US border and the US Cities close-by actually have stock. |

Can you believe I scored a Hawk/Scarlett comic 2 pack pre-order last night on BBTS? I almost made audible glee noises right there in my cube at work. The singles of those had been out of stock since I started checking on them. Hawk was the first Joe I ever owned (up until that tragic twisting his rubberband until it broke incident *sniffle*) like - no it can't be - 25 years ago. I also pre-ordered my Ace/Wild Weasel. Now if I can just get a couple of you guys to cancel your pre-orders for the Crimson Guards so I can snag one of those... Any volunteers???

I feel guilty alot of the times when i 'm reading alot of posts on here. I guess i live in a good area. I usually hit a couple of walmarts on my day off and stop by one after work like 2 times a week. I've found everything and i have 24 soliders and 22 officers. I'm now starting to check for wave 4 because i want my 15 or so air troopers. I did pre order the wave 5 with 2 crimson guards from bbts just because i want at least 20 of them although i may cancel and just keep my searching since now there is gonna be a two pack with them in it too. I continue to see the pegs filled up every 2 weeks or so. I am begininng to see the box sets pile up and ss and hooded cobra commander starting to peg warm also. I do work at target also but have gotten much more at walmart( still cheaper even with my discount). ALthough i did luck out and get a yellow stalker from my store.
