The Eastway Drive/Central Avenue Wal-Mart in Charlotte had several wave 4 figures yesterday.

Has anyone seen Wave 5 yet? I'm seeing more of Waves 2 and 3 everywhere, but only saw the one case of Wave 4. Wave 5 has been sighted in TN, so they should be here in a few days hopefully.

Wave 5 was in Tennessee days ago, and I've only seen two mentions of NC online, one of those being a single auction for a Crimson Guard figure. I'm not wasting any more time or gas on Wal-Mart stores, so if BBTS doesn't ship my pre-order soon, I'll try to get a good deal for a set on eBay. I would have actually saved money if I had done that in the first place, rather than drive around from store to store looking for them.

I would be patient CC every wave that has come out has come to NC very slow but I think this week with christmas coming we should see wave 5 if not I would wait for new year . All the ones I have found have been when I relax and go to store for other things.

And then there's my time, time with which I could be doing much more rewarding things than looking for toys in a discount department store. What's the point of "being patient" if it eats up all of your time and doesn't save you any money? |

Agreed. I've wasted so much time and gas lately going from Walmart to Walmart looking for these things, it's crazy. It also doesn't help that other people in the area are buying them all up before they are put out on the shelf. I saw a thread last night where a guy bought *4* cases of Wave 5, and posted on here bragging about it. And then, after saying he sold 3 of the 4 cases, stated that he wasn't a scalper. Pssht. I hope we see them this weekend.

Wave 5 is going to be popular if not just b/c of the CGs. I'm hoping to get a few of those for my Cobra Legion.
Wave 3 revision cases have been showing up in Clayton but no signs of wave 4 or 5.

This latest wave has taken much longer to really hit retail in our areas than previous waves have. Wave 2 took only a couple of days, wave 3 took less than a week (including a few I picked up in Durham), and wave 4 took three or four days.
The only signs of wave 5 I've seen in Charlotte are the auctions of a local eBay seller, and he seems to have only managed to come up with about half of two cases. That showed up either Saturday night or yesterday, I guess. Most of his listings are for STAR WARS figures, and based on what he has for sale and when he listed it, I have a pretty good idea of where he got wave 5. Then again, for all I know, he could have picked them up on a road trip, but I know where the STAR WARS figures were purchased. |
