I found the HISS tanks way up top in the mid aisle where they ended up putting dedicated Joe tags. The bottom shelf is now tagged for Joe vehicles and Classified while there are pegs for retro figures and mini Joes.

Thought i'd be jealous of you guys getting new Joe stuff on the shelves, but it sounds like such a hassle. If it was me, i'd probably resort to eBay, even though i'd hate to support the scalpers. My time is worth more than money though, and wasting it frantically driving around town from store to store doesn't sound very fun to me.
And Wal-Mart cancelling preorders is just beyond frustrating. How hard can it be to take orders and fulfill them? The UK online store i ordered my vehicles from already came through. I got my Hisses and Striker a few days ago. The wave 2 figures aren't shipping until december i think, but getting them at retail price and knowing the store is reliable makes it worth waiting for.

Just found a AWE Striker in a Vancouver Wal-Mart
Wasn't interested in it, and if I was - the driver figure looked like they DGAF about it. Oddly, no other retro merch - just 3 AWEs chilling at an end-cap |

I have heard that if you mark your order as "gift(s)" they may package them better ...or maybe that was for Amazon but in any case it might be a good idea to try it

Well, I found wave 2 in stores here & managed to get a Scarlett, but that's only because the store hadn't put them out yet. I asked a Hasbro rep after lucking into her & she brought out the case. Everywhere else I stopped at today (3 other stores) nothing but Destro & Roadblock. Some scalpy fuck is going around snagging the Scarletts. I'm done though, gang. Finished with collecting. This stupid shit isn't fun & just isn't worthwhile.

Yeah, when you think about it--I mean, REALLY think about it--this 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.
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.

lol Both. I found Scarlett at the 4th store I visited, but only because I was lucky, bought it and then went on to a 5th store out of habit. As I was driving to that 5th store, it suddenly occurred to me I was heading to another store to look for a thing I JUST FUCKING FOUND! I was on autopilot! Worse still, finding that fucking thing brought me very little joy...I should've been ecstatic or at least relieved I found it, but instead it was more like a task completed. A box checked. This caused me to think about my own motivations, the state of the toy collecting hobby/habit and collecting toys in general. I decided enough was enough.
