Not much luck earlier going from MA to RI. Had to cross off a number of stops due to traffic and a crappy gps. All I found was a lonely wave 4 Sci-Fi at Whitinsville WM. Guess someone else cleaned out the rest(so want just 1 more ZV).They did have PoC CC, Duke and Blowtorch oddly. Other than that, every other WM I checked only had Steel Brigade(newer variant), Renegages CC, SE and Firefly. Kinda sad really.
These stores, and Hasbro need to do a lil more research and realize that even though it's SE or CC (or hell, even Destro) and they throw in 2-3 times of them versus other figs, they're only going to end up warming pegs. Like was implied recently, that'll only hurt newer/more desired figs being released en masse(how many of us have seen a Zombie Viper or Techno Viper in the wild?).
Unless/until they put out a truly different and exceptionally unique version of any of those that will make collector and casual fan alike want to buy every one up or just simply include 1 or 2 of every fig per case(change case count?), they're waisting their time/money/resources pumping these things out the way they are IMHO. I mean, how often over the years have you seen various Bumblebee's clogging shelves and pegs at any given point? I get it, he's an immensely popular character, but at least put in a lil effort to see that there is such thing as too much of a good thing and when that happens, the remains are often spoils.
And don't get me started on how annoying it is that even though these newer guys only seem to appear at WMs, they're not labeled as exclusives and haven't been seen at say Targets or Bennys. Just my 2 cents from what I know of marketing and product research.
Apologies for the rant, had way too much time to think while sitting in traffic earlier.
