Well, I own these on original 25th Anniversary cards but wouldn't mind having another Snake Eyes with Timber and Flint, considering I had to pay aftermarket prices for them around the time wave 3-4 came out.

I open everything i get...so these piss me off, cause of the amount of time,gas and energy i wasted searching store after store for these figs when they 1st came out, only to see them EVERYWERE now that theyre on the non 25th cards..the Walmart near me TRIED to double their order a few months back, and they kept getting shorted UNTIL the revisions were shipped...Hasbro FILLED their orders with figures everyones already got...and now theyre peg warming...with NO sight of Wave 10...arg

I just came from a local WM and they didn't even bother with the display, just put all the fig's on the pegs, so I just picked up the fig's as custom fodder(Flint, BH, SJ, FF, BAT, Stalker).

so, you're angry with yourself for wasting the time, gas and energy? you're too hard on yourself. didn't you have a sense of enjoyment having the figures a year ago, or would you have rather saved the time, gas and energy and only bought the figures now? if that's the case, and you don't mind waiting, then the same should apply with wave 10. they'll be readily available in a few months just like every wave is.

and i didnt have the figures a year ago...they didnt hit ANYWHERE in the capital region (of NY) till Dec. and even then, they were the 5 packs only and they were few and far between.
Dont get me wrong, Ive enjoyed having them, but i watched personally a Walmart toy manager come ovver, scan the tag, and DOUBLE the order....every time I saw her after that, she told me the same thing.."they keep shorting there order" sending in a case at a time, then once the wave was out for a while THEN the back order would be filled... as of right now Ive NEVER seen so many pegs full...is it a coincidence that they are all revisions, at every store? She told me that the truck comes in on a thurs and they are stocked by Fri morn...wouldnt it be nice to see new figs instead of the same old ones? Hell yeah...

Yeah, I saw them yesterday, the little buggers can hold quite a few Joes.
That helps a ton when the Wallyworld near me only has 3 pegs for single Joes. They're not terribly deep, but it also wasn't full either. It seems the Walmart had stocked the regular pegs, and then put the overflow on the "sidekick". That, or people were finding and snatching the Joes in the overflow over the regular aisle, but I doubt it. The display was on the side of one of the endcaps, much like TRU used to put Joes on the pegs on the endcap side, at the very end of the aisles. I just accidentally saw it as I was trying to go around a bunch of people clogging the middle of the Joe aisle, and lo and hehold, I saw the green box. It was actually full of better Joes than the regular pegs were. I scored a Battle Armor CC, Snow Job for a friend, and another Snow Serpent. They do make cool displays, I'd love to get one myself. They should sell them! Haha. |

Hopefully these start to show up soon here. There's some figs in there that I want to pick up.
