Grabbed the Stiggy/Mercenary pack yesterday. Stiggy is kind of adorable. I'm not really familiar with how big these were in real life, but the size of the figure is at least pretty consistent with the fossil version Zap showed above. He also balances well no matter how you pose him.
For anyone curious, this Merc's build is identical to Wheatley's, except for the head--and even then, they have a passing resemblance. The earpiece is actually pretty cleanly painted. Although his shotgun seems a little small, I like the design. Looks like an Ithaca 37...? That said, I also have a few of these 1:18 3D printed Ithaca 37s I got from Shapeways, designed by 'Tanker Ranchoth. The size and proportions are actually really close to Mattel's, so maybe they just seem small due to the scale. (And shotguns aren't usually as large as video games make them out to be, either.)

No, the one in Cutler Bay , FL is pretty barren. Empty pegs for the most part. Nothing new.

My Targets have been keeping decent amount of stock on-hand. They don't always have whatever specific item you're looking for, but they usually at least have a respectable variety. I saw some of the Wave 2 small dinos today at Target, as well as the electronic Indoraptor. Target was also where I found the Stiggy/Merc 2-pack.
Walmart, on the other hand, seems to have given up months ago. Also, I was wondering; were the Target-exclusive Legacy small dinos always priced at $9.99 instead of $7.99?

This is the BEST selling retail line I've seen in years. I have witnessed kids and adults both buying these toys and they're so fun. That being said, the retailers seem to be holding off on ordering the next wave while the pegs are empty. Maybe they plan to stock them when the movie hits home release.... idk but it's odd to see a toy section remain empty after very strong sales. I mean most stores had multiple restocks of wave 1 and it all sold. Yet here we are waiting...

I think retailers buy heavy when a movie hits but after it dies off they dont buy anymore in fear that it will stay on the shelf. Its the joe effect.
