i went to target last night to pick up non joe related items and thought i would just check the aisle to see if they had anything. knowing they don't stock the store until wednesday, i didn't have any expectations. sure enough, there was nothing there but a few of wave 3. i went back there today on my way to work and found the new stock. there were 3 cobra officers and 3 cobra troops on the shelf. though i was looking for cg's, i did snag them.
why were these here? they were newly stocked and they were the only new figures there. is hasbro sending out cases of army builders? they were in perfect shape and did not look like returns. can anyone explain this find? |

I remember Hasbro did something similar when The Phantom Menace fig's hit and Darth Maul was short packed. So Hasbro began shipping cases of just Maul, so the supply could catch up to the demand.

i really don't think it was the revision, it totally sounds plausible. however, last night there was a red ninja, stalker, and a serpentor. today, there was the same, plus 3 troopers and 3 officers. i am happy with my find, but perplexed. i was there when it opened, so where did the other figures go and why were the good ones left for me to buy.

so does target restock tuesday night or wednesday night? i usually stop by on my way home tuesday and thrusday nights which may explain why i always seem to miss them if they restock tuesday nights.

I hope that Wave 3 revision hits us here in NYC because I could pick up a lot of figures that I missed out on during their original release. Especially figures that have been peg warmers everywhere else but here.
