They actually do have reps that go in the stores.........though they don't know ANYTHING about the lines... :( I've been in both Wally World and Target and saw a person with the Hasbro tag checking things and asked about something I heard or ask about restocks and they don't know CRAP or blame it on the store for not ordering stuff.

Wasn't it Andre The Giant who said that anyway? :D

I managed to catch a rep in a lie on that when MU first hit, she claimed stores not ordering when the Manager was right there and informed her of her error, he said the store had indeed ordered and the order got cancelled at the Hasbro level for "lack of stock" (or at least that was the meaning, I cannot remember the exact terminology).

Anyway she quickly shifted gears and started saying that demand was higher than expected and more were being made, this was like 2 years ago with no MU's from that wave (3 I think) being shipped since to that store.

Yep all stores fault.

There SHOULD be the female in the Pirates figures out there soon....saw it reported as being found at TRU and Walmart.

That's why online shopping is whipping brick and mortar stores

I picked up the Storm, Nightcrawler Marvel Universe 2 pack tonight at target. They actually had a lot of stuff for a change.

AAHHHH :mad: I haven't seen them at all! Since all I really buy is ARAH stuff, I do most of my Joe shopping on Ebay!

They did, and that's also caused it's own problem. Cash case Destro has been one of the hardest to find figures out there, because they took a walk and saw nothing but arctic destros warming pegs. Instead of thinking "Maybe it's the lame gimmick" they thought "nobody likes destro" So ZERO new destros got put in revision cases.
Only in his actual wave, which shipped him two to a case.
So while Low Lights, Shadow Tracker, and sky dive are starting to show up, it's for the same reason we're starting to see a few more shock troopers, alley vipers, and Jungle Vipers on shelves. Stores are ordering, or being given the option to order based on hasbro reps, revision cases before ordering the actual wave cases.

bleh. /endrant

I don't know about that..........I've seen 6 new Destro's with the money case and the two I've bought sitting at WalMart just the other day...........

be prepared to hook me up if i don't find one soon :D
