Another day in the life...
 

After seeing the same thing at 3 stores I figured I'd share my frustration with you.


This has been the story since the first wave of Renegades figures hit. (the only wave that's hit my town that I know of.

So if you hear me complaining you know why. Also if anyone can get their hands on a scarlett, tunnel rat, trooper, techno viper, lifeline, or law & order, please keep me in mind. ( I know that should be in the wants, but why not throw in a beg while sharing my "find" )

I know how you feel, either it is nothing or arctic destros for me. either way its the same.

Walmart & Target in Puente Hills, CA today - nothing but Mr Freeze Destro. :mad:

This is what worked for me......

Go to the website...www.walmart.com...
and go to the contact page....put the store # of the stores near you....They have a store finder that will give the #'s if you don't know them... send a email complaining about how the Dept Mgr for toys is NOT ORDERING Joes and make sure to leave a contact #... I did this and a Asst. Mgr. called the next day from the store and I told him what was going on... in my case it was 5 missile Duke's and thats it sitting there.. the dept mgr told me that they had 26 on hand according to the Gemini (the gun they order with) but yet she tells me there's none in the back for over a month... I told the asst mgr this and he went and ordered 2 cases......supposed to be in the store in 3 weeks.. it might work so might try it...
In a case like this if they HAVE the pegs for them but empty for a LONG while you'd just say it in the email about them being empty and how you WOULD buy them IF they had them on hand....

I feel you pain, bro. I found the last wave once and bought all but the Zombie Vipers. :mad:
P.S.,
A Toys R Us by me had some Avengers stuff out. Right next to the Thor, Captain America, and Iron Man 2 junk that's been sitting there since the movies came out. :mad: :mad: :mad:

thought it was just my area,problem with this is im buying everything else i wouldn't normally buy if joes were in stock.

Exactly, especially online. My problem is the shipping costs add up and I would like to troop build but it's too expensive. :(

I went the online route with 4, Wave 3 all I saw was Ripcord and that shocked me to say the least. Distro is a mess for Joe.

In my neck of the woods it's been pretty much this for the last 4-5 months:

Renegades Duke
Renegades Firefly
Renegades Cobra Commander
"Raptor" Zartan

No sign of any of the colorful 30th anny 1986/1987 re-booted Joes & Cobras.

As of last sunday, the local TRU had some of those for $9 each, though.
