True story about a Red Ninja: a few weeks back I ran into a guy in a Target standing awkwardly in front of the Joes. I was there looking for Spin Master DC stuff (a Lex for Itch...lol) and didn't pay him much mind at first, but I noticed he had a Red Ninja and was scrolling on his phone. He then walked away and I picked up the Red Ninja and looked at it, wondering what the big deal was (and I still do, 6" figures all look like dolls to me). The guy suddenly came running back and kept hanging around near me. I asked him what his problem was. Long story short, he said he was checking ebay values on the Red Ninja and trying to decide whether to buy it or not to resell. I told him his decision was made for him with this particular one because I was buying it. Fucking scalper. I bought it out of spite and then donated it along with a Cobra Trooper to the family shelter.

Dear Penthouse Forum:
...And then I super punched him in the dick, and laughed as he cried. |

Wow! Good for you. I watched popfindr one day at a local Target that received a case. The numbers never went down the whole day. Went the next morning and found them all on the pegs, except for the red ninja. Walked around the other aisle with the kids perusing... decided to go back by the Joes and found the Red Ninja hidden on the bottom shelf
That was actually my first experience with a scalper who came right out and said he was scalping. Usually it's just some slob with armloads of toys you just suspect might be a scalper.

Update: I received another email from Wal-Mart. My Stormshadow and AWE Striker have now been pushed back to 10/06 (used to be 10/03). They are, once again, calling this a change of the release date from the manufacturer.

They didn't say which January though. Turns out, there are more than one January in the future.
