I wonder if we'll have the post-Christmas restock like we did with POC.

I can't imagine there being a 4-5 month Joe drought. That would just be disappointing.

I'm not sure there has been much to pillage. I've got sets of wave 3 and 4 online and a couple extra figures at the Toy Vault and Walgreens.

Mine have also been delivered, but I'm stuck at work.

I hate UPS so mine are in the mail. It says Tuesday because of the holiday, but they might be here tomorrow. We'll see.

Got mine around noon today and went home at lunch to open them, awesome figures.

Alright, just so I can get an idea of this in my head, how many/which of you actually found and bought a 30th Storm Shadow at retail? And the same is being asked for Sci-Fi.

I only ask because in the past 2 weeks it seems the Modern Era forum on Hisstank has been flooded with thread upon thread and complaint after complaint of "OMGZ! WHY NO JOES I WANT @ RETAIL! WTF HASBLO/WALMART/TOYSRUS/ETC!?!?! WHY SOLD OUT ONLINE?!?!?! MAKE MOAR!!!!! SCALPERS! IT MUST BE STOCKROOM EMPLOYEE SCAPLERS! WAVE 2 PEG WARMS! RAAAAGEEEE!"

I knew it was difficult with POC, but the sheer number and range of complaints this time seems to dwarf what was going on with the previous line's items. And the odd thing is that we can actually find the vehicles this time. What gives?

I only have a Hazard Viper so far and I'm not collecting everything from 30th this time as I still am with POC (which I've done very well with, retail wise), but what's going on? Tons of Tankers seem to be flipping out here.

I remember saying before that these figures were going to be hard to find at retail, just due to the time of year. Hence why I ordered them online. I paid less than retail, no tax, and didn't waste any gas.

Was able to find a single SS at retail early december along with a few of his wavemates, but that's it. Only saw a single Air-tight(sold to Air-tight) in the wild, would love to find a Sci-Fi so I can finally open one.

BEAM · 01-13-2012, 10:30 PM

Found all of wave 4 once and never saw Renegades SS. I had mine preordered when it was first advertised. Then they arrived this week and I laid them all out on the floor and rolled around on them with joy - what do I care about card condition, I play with my toys!

I have the Dreadnok pack in my PoL. Now I just need something to pre-order. I'm guessing it will sit there until, oh maybe April or later when the second wave of Star Wars figures are released (just a guess).

MTN · 01-14-2012, 12:01 AM

I got renegades storm shadow and the rest of the wave 3 at toy vault. I got 1 zombie viper also toy vault, I haven't come across any of that wave since. I'm still searching.

Also both targets and walmart near the malls in warwick totally bare. Toys r us still nothing.
