So I pre ordered the Movie stealth Bumble Bee from BBTS a few months back, because I felt I would like to collect the sculpt. They were selling it for $23.99. I was holding off having my loot shipped to see if I couldn't find one in the stores for the reasonable $9.99. I had them ship my loot and received it Thursday, May 1, 2008. That night I went to my local Wally (which usualy has a whole lot of nothing) and found three sitting there. On my rounds today I found at least one in each store I went into, where there usually was nothing but the same leftovers from the summer before.
So I have to wonder, Has anyone else has had this sort of thing happen to them? |

TXB, I'm with you, bud!
ANY TIME (notice the caps? That means I'm serious!) I buy a figure on eBay (new figure, of course), I find it 547834657834754 & 1 times over on Pegs. |

This happens to me quite often. I usually don't ever have time to hit Target or TRU, but when I do I usually find nothing. So I order stuff online, and as soon as I get it and admire it, I find 5 of them without even trying.

Happened to me with wave 3 last year, but I don't think I've seen enough Crimson Guards at retail to cover what I bought on eBay before finding them.

I had this happen years ago with Transformers. In Japan they re-released God Ginrai (Powermaster Optimus Prime with an extra trailer that becomes armor) I preordered that sucker as soon as I could for $119 1-2 years later they released it in the US as Apex armor Optimus Prime and it wound up going on clearance for $25!
At least the one I got has more metal parts and a box littered with Japanese writting that I can't read at all |

All the time, but can't blame you, bumblebees were so hard to find that no one will risk it again.
