I wanna know who the guy is buying them all over there...

Found a HUGE stock pile of Snow Job, Crimson Guard, IG Destro and Air Trooper at the South Side WM on monday... so maybe there is hope that things will blow up after the Con this weekend!

Also, I've had a preorder at BBTS for Wave 7 and I've seen them all (Jet Pack Duke, WB, Snake, Viper, Spirit) at various spots this weekend but no HISS Driver. If anyone sees this guy let me know...I would rather buy the wave at TRU, Target, WM at this point since I preordered back in April. They just keep pushing it back each month.

I was just up at the Ankeny Wal Mart last night. Four pegs full of comic packs, but not ONE wave 4 pack. Hopped over to Target across the street... Five Scarlett/Hawk packs and nothing else. WTF is going on?!?!

The problem is Nobodys buying the old ones so their not ordering the new ones... which is the same reason SS WM is full of older figs. they order tons of this shit when nobody wants the old stuff anymore... if you ask me the toy dept. managers need to know more about the product lines they carry, so they dont order a bunch of shit right before new shit is gonna hit the market!

As long as they get payed I doubt they care, it's just their 9 to 5

just my two cents though.

Saw 2 wave 7 SE and 1 wave 7 Duke at Urbandale Target. Oh, and several thousand Scarlett/Hawk, Duke/CC, etc comic packs.

No Man, I'm 100% sure you are right, but there in lies the problem. They aren't selling, so were not getting more, and soon they are gonna pull the line of the shelves cuz its not making the store any money, cuz the store can't keep current with its stock, cuz they aren't selling... you know?
