Eh, can't say they get better stuff than us. They usually get the same stuff we get (at various discount retailers), just in smaller numbers.
Take for example how some Ross stores only got in a couple RTS Windchargers, which Ross shoppers bitched and moaned about due to the limited availability, while our 5-Below stores got in a decent amount of them. Or how their stores got in the cancelled ROC vehicles (volcano viper), while we got them in fair numbers at Benny's and Tuesday Morning.
Then again, they did get in POC vehicles like the Doom Cycle, etc, which we still haven't seen at our discount retailers, unless you like POC Mechs(TJ Maxx & Marshalls).
And we DID get the 25th desert packs at Marshalls, along with all the Hall of Heroes figures. But we didn't get the invasion/defense of Cobra Island packs and I don't know if we will or will not. Hopefully we get the Resolute sets as well...
I guess it all comes down to what you're looking for and what you so deeply desire to find at those wonderful discount prices.
Out of all the stuff that shows up at these discount stores, (off the top of my head)
I think the only thing we have to bitch and complain about are the unreleased ROC/Pre-POC vehicles that showed up at Ross.
It would have been nice to find them around here, but looking back, I really didn't want any of them so I don't feel like I've missed out much so far.
I will be upset if we do not get more POC stuff in our discount stores, especially items like waves 4, 5, or 6 (and for many, wave 3 (which kinda surprises me since I saw my fair share of that wave)) because there's still people here looking for figures from those waves, the mini-hiss & the ashiko bike, both HISS Tanks(brown & black), the VAMP, and the Fury.
We don't know if python patrol croc master & camo blowtorch will finally appear, but considering how good they looked, I hope they do.
I also wonder if like the "cancelled" tail-end ROC vehicles, the "cancelled" minotaur mech and the mech with alpine would actually show up at places like Ross? Even though they were deemed "cancelled", final release versions did get out there...So that's a whole separate mystery.
