Ok so I guess I was pretty lucky (I was one of the first few people with wave 9 when it first came out, but that feels like a lifetime ago). We were doing allright getting new waves out and replenishing the pegs but it seems like now thats all changed. Stores before couldn't keep anything on the shelf / get any new figs, but they got overflooded now with wave 7,8,and 9 (+ revisions). Im afraid stores are not ordering new waves (my god what if) because of a build up. I know some stores just leave new shit in the back till the pegs get empty. Im thinking Im finally going to have to order online, that makes me sad. For the longest time I got such a rush from THE HUNT
are we going to ever see these waves in the stores to the level we see prior waves? Are these waves going to pass some of us by? Well I hope so. ok that was my 2 cents.

I'm disturbed by this too! Retailers could have add more room on the shelves or pegs if they wanted to. But no, these 25th don't sell like hotcakes at all!!

Stores have to follow plan-o-grams. The only way they can add more pegs, is if the plan-o-gram from corporate tells them to. Its stupid, but thats the way they do things. Its prob so each store looks the same inside...

seriously.
i havent been able to hunt for a while (taking care of newborn twins), but from what i hear, there is nothing to hunt anyway. i just ordered a few things from HTS, but i still havent been able to bring myself to overpaying on other websites. i just keep telling myself we'll eventually see the stuff flooding retail, just like the stuff that's warming pegs right now.

Six months from now waves 10, 11, and 12 will be cluttering the shelves just like the revision cases are now. This will no doubt slow future waves from getting to toy store shelves.
When the 25th line first came out, we were lucking if we found any joes at all. Collectors said they wanted more joes to be available and Hasbro listened. Hasbro flooded toy shelves with revision cases of figures that were originally hard to find. Thankfully, Hasbro on some level is listening to dsemands of more figures, which is a blessing, but also a curse (as with the issue of not finding wave 10 currently). The lesson here: BE PATIENT!!! The figures are coming. There's no reason to get worried just because a few people already have wave 10. Straighten up, be ahppy with what you have, be patient for what's coming, and lets be men about this. |

I guess you guys are all right, Its just so hard for me to find a whole complete wave in the first place at retail, let alone two sets (so I can open one). Patience.
