Last night I was at Meijer and thought to check the Joes. Now 4 Meijer stores around me have pretty much had these figures Destro, Desert Ambush Duke, SE, SS, Baroness and Ninja Turtle Viper. So for a while I skipped looking at Meijer b/c they would have empty pegs but would never re-stock.
So last night I walked down the toy aisle and the SW Legacy and Clone Wars pegs were stocked full. So I was excited to find the ROC pegs bursting with new figures. 2 Nano Vipers, 2 Red Fang Ninja, Night Adders, Charbroil, and a White Coat Rex. Well as I was walking to the checkout and put him down and said I will wait. Woke up this morning went back and he was never re-stocked. I checked at the service desk to see if an employee had stuck it in the Toy Dept return cart and nothing. Now I am regretting not getting him last night. Do you think this version will pop up again? This is the first White Coat Rex I've seen at retail. I've been to 12 different Aldi's in Ohio and not one Wave 5 figure at any of the Aldi's I went to. |

I think you will see another one. I have not seen one in the wild and got mine through trade from a tanker. All of the ROC stuff seems to hit sooner or later.

Feel your pain Cobra80. I say bad move.
I did the same thing this past Saturday. Found Kamakura and White Rex at a TRU in Ohio. Did not want to pay the $8 price and put them both down at the checkout. Mine was a desire not to incur the wife's wrath as she was waiting in the car. But with what I will spend in gas looking for that combination again, better to buy it when you see it and then return it if you have to or find a better deal somewhere else.

I say you made the right decision. If you didnt go there looking for that figure and if you didnt want it enough to buy it when you saw it than chances are you can live without it. If you arent already a hopeless completionist than dont start now with the Dr. What you did was have self control. I have learned it big time with this whole ROC line. Im kind of relieved the ME went away, I couldnt afford it anymore.

Damn Straight...I passed on two Sgt. Slaughter Build n Brawls because I figured the last couple waves of Build n Brawls have been sitting on the shelves for a while. Big mistake...now I feel like an Asshat when I look at my Benchpress figures that could be a Sgt. Slaughter...
