Even boxed they screw it up. Every single time I ordered a carded figure it is stuffed into a box smaller than the card, so I have the same bend and damage. I only buy figures from WM online I plan to open. Never once has a carded figure been sent in an acceptable manner from them to me.

FWIW my 2 HISS tanks (ordered 7/17) and 1 AWE Striker (ordered 7/27) all showed up in the past week. 1 HISS on 10/3, then the AWE yesterday, and the second HISS today.
I also ordered 1 of each figure from Waves 1 (ordered 7/17) and 2 (ordered 9/26) but those say "Delayed—check back later for status update" and "Arrives by Fri, Jan 8" respectively. From what I've read on this thread I'm not holding my breath that I'll actually receive any of them but we'll see. |

I guess I got lucky. I received two Storm Shadows that were in a box that didn't bend them or mangle them. I actually had trouble deciding which one I would open and which one I'd keep on the card.
It didn't go that way with my MOTU figures. They arrived in a bag and were really bent out of shape. Fortunately for me, I like toys for being toys and not for being "investments" so I don't care too much when the card is bent up. |

I'm right there with you. Between limited exclusives that sell to bots in a second, to the way they are shipped (worthless mailers mean they all come crushed), to pre orders being cancelled only to see them online the same day, to never finding anything in store, this is just not fun any more... Now, will I be able to stop cold turkey, or widdle down what I collect till I am out?
I'm wittling, slowly but surely. I had thought maybe I could just keep it to certain lines, but that just keeps me in it. So no more new shit for this guy, no more toy buying. I'm gonna take stock, decide if I want to keep anything, and start getting rid of shit.

Yeah, when you think about it--I mean, REALLY think about it--is whole thing is just fucking goofy. A bunch of grown men, madly dashing from store to store looking for goddamn kid's toys, only to be beaten out for what they want by other grown-ass people who rush madly from store to store just so they can re-sell that shit for a ridiculous markup. I just don't want to be a party to it anymore. It doesn't make me feel good, and that was supposed to be the whole point to this.

100% why I keep most of my buying to the previous generations at the newest. The only stress is whether or not I can afford it. Modern toy buying has become fucking bullshit.

For those who have found retro vehicles at Walmart: where have you found the vehicles relative to the Joe action figure pegs?

Should have been as many as 4 HISS tanks, but I got all those. Just checked again tonight while on a TS Delta chocolate run for the wife. No dice.
