I have always wanted to have a buddy who worked at a toy store, or a store with a toy department. This way I could have an "inside man" that could watch for the new figures to come in and call me, or better yet snag what I wanted as soon as they hit the shelves, or even before. I finally have an inside source, and the best part is............its my momma.
We have a large grocery chain around here that has started opening up what they call concept stores. They are huge, and sell allot more than groceries, almost like a department store. A new one opened up in the town my mom lives in, and she got a job there. I stopped in there the other night to check it out, and to my surprise discovered they had a toy section that is bigger than they have at most Wal*Marts. I have already printed out pics of what I want from wave 3 and gave them to my mom. Whats even better is she gets a 10% discount on all purchases. Looks like I will be getting all of the new Cobra Shock Troopers that I want. This is better than pre-order, because nobody takes care of you better than momma.

I don't think many of us mind an "inside person" (trying to be pc because its a mom!) at an out of the way place like a grocery store or comic book store since the prices tend to be a bit higher and aren't where most of us look for toys regularly. But an inside person at a huge store simply stinks.
