Wow, it totally sucks that people are stealing from you. It's truly disgusting. To be honest, I'm surprised I haven't heard about theft at toy shows more often. I imagine the open space and lack of security make it tempting for thieves, and the kids that either lack discipline or are too young/ignorant/unsupervised to know better probably don't help things. I hope your future shows go better. You're one of the fairest sellers around, so it stings even more that people are stealing from you.

I was hoping to make it to the show last weekend, but unfortunately I blew a tire and had some other car issues, so all of my weekend plans were scrapped. I have been seeing the Joe Bravo vehicles at TRU recently, as well as the 30th Anniversary Wave 1 figures at Target. It's nice to see that the new stuff is finally trickling to "the big three" stores.

Thanks Greg! Some people are just assholes.

Anyone make it to the show in Hickory? Looking for a report.

There is a lot of Resolute in Greensboro. All easy to find. I bought Cobra Commander, but nothing else.

I assume you mean Renegades, unless the Resolute 7-packs are starting to hit the discount chains.

Renegades at New Hope CH Walmart. Go get em!

Renegades were found in Wilmington last week. Buddy picked up a Duke for me, but all four had been there. For those in the area, it was Monkey Junction. Market St. and Leland have yet to get them, but the Leland one has had the 30th wave 1 several times. Market not once.

You, sir, get a gold spotter star! I just came from that store while out running a business errand and found one of each figure. The packages were mighty mangled, but I don't care since I'm gonna open 'em anyway. I've never watched Renegades, I don't really intend to, and I'm not much impressed with these figures, but I will buy them just to continue to support the line.

OMFnG Joes @ TRU Concord Mills

Found one of each Renegades at Apex Target today, though they didn't ring up. Manager gave them to me @ $6.99 each for the wait.
