But you see, it's been different here. Both Target and Walmart, pegs stocked with Ghostbusters, MOTU, Marvel, Star Wars, Fortnite, Batman, Wrestling, etc. Only empty pegs here has just been GI Joe. Now granted I get lucky and walk in right after theg stocked the Joes and I grab the couple I need but by the end of the day all the Joes are gone and they won't restock for weeks.

If I were a Transformers fan, I'd be in heaven. I think the only place where I couldn't buy Transformers is the gas station. They are always in stock everywhere.

Collecting is really funny right now. MOTU Origins was a Walmart exclusive last year but now other retailers can carry it. Target is choking on He-Man and Skeletor because anybody who wanted them bought them at Walmart. Meanwhile you can’t find any other figure than the big two.

I don’t know what everyone’s issue is re: finding any of them. I’ve found them in stores on the racks, asking them to be pulled from the back with Popfindr, from trading, to ordering them online. And my collection is complete so far. There are tools and strategies to employ and I use every single one of them.

Here is something I ran into this evening and it shows there are issues with almost any store when it comes to toys.
I had to make a return to Best Buy for a cable not compatible with my wife's computer as we thought it would be. Now, I really try not to go out much, I pre-order and order from online stores a lot in the last year. So I make the return to Best Buy around 2 hrs ago, hardly anyone in the store at all. I decide to stroll over to the toy aisle they have. I see a Marvel Legends X-Men Moira MacTaggert figure. Now I have one on pre-order form Pulse but when I saw this I thought cool I will get it and maybe cancel my pre-order. The tag on the shelf says "Marvel Legends X-Men Moira MacTaggert $19.99" So cool, I take it to a register and it won't ring up. Guy calls to someone they talk over his two way for a minute. The associate turns to me and says, "I am sorry, this is street dated. We can't sell it until tomorrow." UGH! I said, "Ok no problem." and I leave. So I will just keep my pre-order. It just goes to show the street date struggle is everywhere. I really do think, if an item is stocked on a shelf in the open, street date or not, it should be sold. Just my opinion, prompted mostly by all which has occurred, our collective stories at stores in the last year. Anyway, I just wanted to share this. I hope everyone is having a good weekend. |

So if I go to Best Buy tomorrow I may be able to buy Moira (and maybe Jean)?
I will be there! |

What's hard to get is the Cobra Island stuff, which is what this thread is specifically about. I definitely had locals try to help me get what I needed and I helped out too but when none of us saw any of that stuff then it wasn't exactly easy to get. |
