Lol, ok dude. I don't see what the tone is for after you accepted that I didn't think you or GI Spawn did anything bad, but whatever.
Buying one of each figure is no where near equatable to clearing out the inventory for a product so I'm not sure why you're feeling soured over this, it obviously is not about you or GI Spawn. |

According to the recent delay announcement, we're ALL going to be missing out!

Buying from ebay or ordering from Toys R Us is vastly cheaper than driving around town day after day looking for figures. Therefore this is not about -me- getting them--the alternative has always been clear, here. This is about people with no concern for others. I would like to forward your advice to the guys who go to stores like this and buy everything up. I mean, it's not like they happened upon the freshly stocked pegs and took the opportunity. They probably spent a lot of time and gas money checking out stores. If all they want is to stockpile figures and sell them online I don't understand why they don't take advantage of the good deal you get from e-tailers like I do and leave brick and mortar stock to the casual buyer.

Your reaction is actually pretty much the norm for newbies here and I can remember being really annoyed with the system of collecting when I first joined years ago. I haven't had the opportunity to find any Retaliation stuff yet but I'm not under the impression that stores are getting a lot of stock initially. So I don't think whoever beat you to those figures could have walked away with much. Give it time and by Monday you will find them everywhere. Welcome to the gang! |

lol, just giving you a proper welcome to the group! If you need help finding things in the area, most of us will help so feel free to ask and try to return the favor when you can.

Trust me, I've been annoyed with the system since 1998. You'd think that after dealing with the South American aftermarket for most of my collecting life that the situation in the States would be heaven by comparison... I feel like it's only gotten worse. Anyway, thanks for the warm welcome. |

Anyone find those Cancelled / Recalled Retaliation figures in St Pete / Tampa Area?
Just curious as I am sitting on a case of them for the past 2 months. I just hope all my vehicles get shipped from Hasbro Toy Shop. The 2 Three packs just shipped today and my extra Red Ninja.

I found some remnants of Retaliation figures (a mask and some big SE and Roadblock), so i assume someone/some people cleared the inventory of smaller figures and vehicles. But, alas! I only blame myself for not getting there sooner. T&C TRU had nothing.
