I got the delayed til 12/1 email for baroness and snake eyes... not storm shadow.. even thought I ordered them all at same time. Everything else still says 10/3... I order the awe striker about a week later... haven't received any update on that |

Right!? I think I've begun to hate this hobby more than I enjoy it.

I found an AWE Striker today at my local Walmart... I went today talked with my friend at the toy section and he told me hey I think I saw a vehicle, so we went to the area were they have MOTU and there was was Joe vehicle there... He checked on his device and he said there is another box in the back and he told me let me check to see if the Hiss Tank is in that one... While waiting another collector saw me and ask me oh where you got that vehicle, I been looking for that one and I explained him and told him an associate from the toy department went to check in the back because they have more vehicles so if he comes with the same one, that one is yours... My friend came back and opened the box in front of us an it came with two AWE Strikers so I told my friend hey this is a fellow collector that is also looking for it, you can give it to him... So the guy went happy home... The other AWE Striker we Left it on the shelves since I been looking just for one of them... Now I have to hunt the Hiss Tank... Hopefully it shows up soon.

Seeing it on a shelf in a toy aisle sure is a thing of beauty though, right? It's like a dream I had when I first got into adult collecting back in 2000 where I walked into some toy aisle and found it full of retro Joe shit. Everything I ever wanted laid out before me and beckoning!

I guess we'll just have to wait a few days to see what happens. They may have just unloaded the pallet of HISS tanks today and the other stuff tomorrow, or something. EDIT: nope, nope, nope. I have three pending charges, one is the HISS Tanks that just shipped, the other two are the wave two per-orders from the other day that are just pending and haven't dropped off yet. ARGH.

It's the main reason why it took me so long to get back into collecting, some individuals make collecting an absolute nightmare for the people who just honestly have a passion for this stuff. |

See? Moral of the story: it pays to have friends in high places...and to be a creeper who just happens by.

They are pushing product to stores, and pushing back pre-orders, they did this with the retro Star Wars waves as well, its typical Walmart.
Some stores like this one in LA is getting stocked with wave 1 retro and the vehicles...not my pic, saw it on FB... Went to my local Walmart today and they said, "oh no we get a shipment on the 14th"...although it says online IN STOCK, some funny sh-t right there. Their best comment was "oh the collectors get here at 10pm and take the stuff right off the pallet!" |
