I remember around here wave 2 was hard to find. It was selling pretty well. The Jetpack & Snake Armor were hard to find, didn't stay on the pegs very long. Then after they marked them down on clearance they put out a shit load of them. Every store was flooded with them. Maybe they should have put them out BEFORE clearance??? Of course the crap isn't going to sell well when you hold it all in the back.
Same thing happened with the Rhino & Wedge's X-Wing. Never saw'em on the shelves until after they hit clearance. I remember seeing a bunch of X-Wings marked down on the clearance endcap but never saw one in the regular toy aisle.
I didn't want the Rhino but I kept checking it anyway. The DPCI number said YES they were in the back room. But there were none on the floor. They were in the back for weeks. Rotting in the back room when they could have been selling. Nobody even knew they had them.
