I should be relieved but I'm never going to find a zombie in the wild...

Over half my Zombies i found in the wild.Don't lose heart.I've yet to see a Ren SS on the pegs,came close,but never saw him.

The only place I've seen a single Zombie Viper in the wild was at a Walgreens in Concord on 29. I've never seen them anywhere else.

I got my first two at WM on New Bern in Raleigh in Dec.

I got my 2nd pair at TRU in Cary last month.

I got my third pair at Cary WM two weeks ago.

I found two of my Zombie-Vipers at the north Tryon Wal-Mart in Charlotte a few weeks back. Oddly enough, those two were the only wave 4 figures left on the pegs at that point, so it isn't like I beat everyone to them.

That seems odd that wave 3 is getting significant distribution now, after the Christmas shopping season and after wave 4 has gotten significant distribution. I had already bought my wave 3 case from BBTS so I fortunately didn't have to worry about Storm Shadow.

What seems odd to me is that retailers literally sat on these cases until now. Unless somehow the lack of toy managers entering new figures into the system was enough to sku the stock until inventory was completed recently.

Hickory NC Target has one Renegades Stormshadow and 2 Technovipers hanging on the pegs.

Nothing new @ TRU & WMart ConcordMills nor Target Concord.

Nothing new at Apex Target, although I noticed they raised the Joe price to $10.99 !!! Guess I'll be buying online from now on.

Pinville WM had a few Technos, ripcord and scarlett last night.

I did find two zombies at WM up north of Durham two weeks ago. I just need a couple more...

Not a single Joe on the pegs at either Cary or Apex Wal-Mart, save your gas.
