I met up with a Hasbro rep that actually DID know what she was talking about. Hasbro is about 45 minutes from my front door and there is a Walmart right in the middle. I happened to stop there one afternoon when I met her. She knew all about the shortages and assured me that they would stop by then end of summer. They are producing more and more with each wave that comes out she said, and to expect that you will be able to walk in to any store that has them and see them on the pegs by then. She also assured me that we will be more than pleased with the movie line as well as the remainder of what they have in store for us, especially the vehicles and playsets. She couldn't elaborate as to what was coming, but told me to keep checking that particular Walmart for product, and sure enough they are the only one around that has anything. In mass too. Last time I was there, they had a HUGE end display of comic packs and they should be getting upwards of 20 cases of waves 7 and 8 she said. Of course, they haven't gotten them yet. I guess being so close to Hasbro has some perks, but not like it used to.

that's great you live next to hasbro dgnr82, always wanted to live in RI, but doesn't the product arrive on the west coast. therefore, slowly trickling eastward? i could be wrong, but doesn't the product slowly thin out by the time it reaches, let say, rhode island? we have it pretty thin here in the midwest, and from what i hear, the east coasters are hurting worse than we are.

Try finding them in southern Louisiana.
All we have had at my Wal-Mart for the past few months is a hooded Cobra COmmander on a damaged card. |

did you tell her that if the Ripcord figure was black and not renamed Stalker, or that if Snaake Eyes and Scarlett aren't released together in wedding outfits with honeymoon suitcase accessories, that the movie toyline is going to suck and be DETH OF TEH LINE! and Larry Hama will cry himself to sleep at night over what has become of his creations.

If you need Wild Weasel comic packs, let me know. We have over 100 comic packs at one Wal Mart alone. I will help hook anyone up who is looking for these...

one way to get rid of those 100+ comic packs is to give Joe collectors overseas some limited time tourist visa, so that they could visit stateside and pick up all those packs. problem solved. LOL!!!! no need for them to spend $40 on each comic pack. LOL!!!
