So this'll teach me, Yesterday I was told by the closest Ross that their truck would be in later that day & that toys/home goods were the first to be stocked and to come back around 1pm.
I came back around 12:30 and saw that there were a few new toys already but no Joes (or even spaces for them) I asked a different lady and she said the truck already came and they already stocked all the toys. So then I get the idea to hunt smarter, not harder (Thank you Scrooge McDuck) So I start calling the area Ross stores rather than drive all over 3-4 towns......all come up empty. Many of them saying they didn't get toys on the truck today. OK no worries, I'll try a few again tomorrow on my way to work. Then an hour or so later I get a call from a friend that he found a few sets (no Bubbles) at one of the stores I called and this morning I have a PM from another member telling me there was a set found at a different store I called yesterday who told me they didn't get any in that day. Now it's possible the second store's reported finding got a truck after I called, but the one that my friend called me from seems to have just lied to me over the phone (or didn't know what they were talking about) Either way, color me slightly annoyed

In the Ross ladies' defense I will say they were all very nice on the phone
Anyway, all is right in the land of Shogvania now, I went to the Ross that possibly lied and there was a lone Trubble Bubble set (The only one I still needed to get) |

I was at a ross for like 2 hours yesterday. I was there when the first hummer came out (apparently the blue shelves on wheels are called "hummers"). I was there when the last toy hummer came out. They got in two flight pods and one glider and that was it. So proof right there that some of these stores are getting partial cases. Another ross I went to had 4 flight pods and one ram. I didn't find a whirlwind anywhere.

So far it doesn't look like my area is getting the amount of product the west coast is getting |

Just did the call around in my area; none yet in most stores, but our Columbia store got cleaned out by a collector before these ever hit the floors.
That's upsetting. Manager said someone took the whole lot, didn't leave one. No claims in the local MD sightings thread, so probably not even a tanker. I am reminded of a certain 'grinch' story, and the day before christmas no less. We have a few comic shops nearby, and I've run across one of the owners cleaning out toy aisles before. I applaud capitalism, but something about this time around is just upsetting. I'm betting my christmas winterfest brews that these will be at their shop come Monday, standard markup and on pegs for $29. This happens alot around here w/ MU and DC figures, often w/ SW figures too, but this time around I feel burned. Maybe it is the holidays. This is just really upsetting. Overall it has been sounding like the bulk of the distribution hit the west coast, with the leftovers hitting the east coast. Thank you in advance to my 'tanker pal in Frederick who picked up an extra, you are a life saver. Looks like these won't be saturating our area around here.
