>>6898055because it's anecdotal.
The stores in my area haven't shown shit about anything anyone here is talking about and for you, you found it because it's not for sale and they put it out accidently, so of course you found it.
But again, all these toys that you're talkinga bout that have a street date are those waves that stores over-order of and none of the figures are hard to find.
Again, it's always the later waves, those WITHOUT a street date, that are hard to find, because stores need to sell out of a certain amount of these wave one assortments before they can stock up again. And depending onw hen they stock up, if they sell out too early, they get Wave One again. IF they sell out just in the nick of time, they get in Wave Two, and stores will put those out as soon as they arrive. IF your store doesn't sell out of Wave One from your initial shipment for too long of a time, they won't restock until the next reset.
Thus, Wave two and/or Wave three contain all those hard to buy figures that go for multiple times their original price, because they have no street dates and only go to stores that sold out of their original stock in just the right time to receive wave 2, 3, 4, etc.
In short, you're an idiot who doesn't even know how stores work, muchless how toy companies ship stock.
I bet you're also one of those idiots who blame toy companies for "poor distribution" of toy waves, as if a toy company can manage Walmart's distribution centers or how much crap they over-order.
pic of a huge shelf warmer that fans go stuck with because of how shitty stores over-react to popular lines. PoC was a surprise hit for stores after the GI Joe movie line petered out. Wave 1 basically had minimum orders and when stores sold out, they bought a shit load of wave 2, and thus that's all everyone found for nearly a year, while wave 3, 4, 5, 6, etc were sold to the lucky stores that didn't order as much of wave 2. None of these had a street date.
