Here's the box:

Cool, I'll keep an eye out for it.

One of the walmarts out here in western mass still has a ROC PITT sitting on one of the back wall clearence shelfs in a beat to hell box. Its still at full retail price.

Hey guys. Around 5:00 I found the Sci Fi I was looking for at Adams Village Walgreens on the Quincy/Milton line. There were 2 Lifeline's there. I left them as I already have 1. Also have a Zombie Viper to trade as I found 1 in the wild after buying one on ebay. So PM me if you want to do a trade in MA for that. Let me know what you have.

I'm pretty sure there's a walgreens near me that has wave 3, but suffers from two figuresperpegitis. who'd be the person to ask whats out back. I asked very politely a guy stocking the shelves, and got 'didn't quite yet evolve from cro-magnon, nor learn english yet' stare.

I think most Walgreen's employees would look at you as if you had two heads if you asked what was out back haha. I used to work for a Stop n Shop. Places like S&S and Walgreen's don't get cases. The warehouses do and put random stuff in totes for individual stores, so it makes for the actual hunt cos you don't know what you'll get! But I agree it's usually only 2 figs per peg, but Walgreen's at least has the latest.

I have asked and they never keep any out back, really just get a couple or few every week. Once I ask the manager at the WG near me and he ended up hitting every WG on his way from home to that store, sadly it was mostly RoC and pegwarmer newer stuff.

I think the Stop & Shop toys are stocked by a third-party vendor. I've been there while some guy was restocking toys, he did not appear to be a normal S&S employee and had a different logo shirt. When I talked to him he said he covered 3 different S&S stores in the area.

I've heard from a couple of people (one that worked for S&S) that its actually a subdivision of ToysRUs that supplies Stop&Shop with their toy aisle stock, although S&S employees/warehouse workers probably handle the inventory themselves or hire someone to. Its also true that they get in the plastic crates with randomly inserted figures from the warehouses. I know TRU also owns/operates the original FAO Shwarz brand as well so it's certainly within reason that they would supply other places with toys as well.

Found Psylocke today, one of the last things I'd been wanting. And she's Ehhhhh, but hey, I had to have her.....



I also just got the "Cobra Wars" by Max Brooks from Amazon. Anybody read it yet?
