well.. from the lack of posting of FINDS I am assuming - we have all gone broke.. or there aint shit left in this state..
From the looks of the front page - wave 11 has hit retail - dedboy might be right this time folks.. we might miss wave ten.. I am ordering cases tomorrow afternoon. at least 2.. 1 full case for me.. a case for dedboy to get his standard wraith.. who else wants in.. last chance.. figures will be $7.99 after shipping to battle creek on 2 cases.. anyone on the westside of the state want to meet in kalamazoo and pick up thier cases from me when they come in? PM me - as of Tomorrow at 12noon I will be placing my order. - I preffer to transport them by the case - but depending on what figures you need we can work something out.. I dont want to sit on a bunch of figure dupes on this wave. CobraVirus you want in on this? Scott? How about you buddy.. |

Dude!?!?!? What the Holy Christ on Rubber Crutches is going on here?! Wave 11 is already out at retail and no one here has spotted any sign of wave 10 in stores? That is some straight up BS!!! Hasbro has their priorities real jacked up and needs to get their act together before they seriously start to lose loyal customers. I went hunting today (not real sure what I was expecting to find) and found nothing at Target or Walmart in Battle Creek. Hell, maybe I'll get lucky and find wave 11 soon! WTF?!?!?!

My response is from an objective point-of-view and was not in no way directed at Dedboy. Last edited by Mr. Focus; 10-28-2008 at 07:10 PM.. |

This is a common compliant. It’s not BS; it’s the nature of replenishing merchandise. Take into consideration that most major retail stores have single figures, it’s just not the figures you want.
No need to rattle the saber my friend. Hasbro isn’t keeping Wave 10 from us; the opportunity to purchase Wave 10 from HTS.com proves that. Understand, until inventory levels get low major retailers have no need for surplus merchandise. I know it’s hard to digest but only collectors care about the newly released waves. I can count on ‘no hands’ how many times I’ve came across an employee that knew of any particulars on upcoming waves. Has anyone tried to describe a particular figure you were looking for to an employee…fa-getta-bout-it! Ironically, some employees told me they weren’t going to be caring G.I. Joe anymore? As long as there are figures on the pegs, major retailers could careless. As we burn through the revision cases we will see Wave 10. However, Wave 11 is ready for immediate shipment, it’s very likely that Hasbro has allocated Wave 11 to major retailers before Wave 10 makes a solid appearance. One could argue that the revision cases filled the Wave 10 slot and now we’re on to the next batch aka Wave 11. My response is from an objective point-of-view and was not in no way directed at Dedboy. I think this is a weird line for Hasbro and they are having a tough time figuring out just where the demand level is. They thought it would suffice to put out 2 boxes of 5 figures. Nope. Then a full scale series, but, hey, there can't be that many Joe collectors, so just need a few cases in a few stores. Nope. We cried "More stock! more stock! Give us the figures we missed early on!" and they responded with increased distribution of wave 9 and revision cases, but they overshot the demand, and now they have pegwarmers. Could you imagine the perfect harmony of production and case ordering where all the collectors in an area were able to find all the figures they wanted at retail, but it was only just enough to have the pegs be emptied and ready to be refilled? That seems a tall order for what is essentially a niche product. /rant... Anyway. Focus is righton- go the HTS route and save yourself the gas. I'm ordering the new vehicles and DVD sets from there and with the 20% code, it'll be below retail prices.
