To be fair, certain areas don’t see figure stocks as much as others.
I can’t list all the figures I’ve never seen at retail when I would check 2-3 times a week.
So, THOSE are the people scalpers/flippers are hoping for.

So, THOSE are the people scalpers/flippers are hoping for. Definitely. My area (Central NY) is always pretty bare unless you hit the stores at exactly the right times. I think there's a lot of collectors near here, and I definitely don't make enough store trips to outpace the other guys. But a few times every summer I drive down to Northeast PA for a drive-in theater, and the Wal-Mart down the road from there always has ridiculous levels of stock. Just pegs and pegs of WWE MOTU last time I was there, I finally got my Horde Macho. |

I think you might be the reason I don't.
(But seriously, most of the stuff I want I get through preorder, so it's all good. Only the store exclusives and MOTUs have sent me to eBay, really. And the store exclusives have been less of an issue for me since they stopped using them for female wrestlers, which is my biggest collecting focus.)

So, THOSE are the people scalpers/flippers are hoping for. Yep, my area of the Bay in North Cali sees very sparse action, new stuff at an irregular basis. It almost feels like we're lagging behind other states. I never get a chance to post anything in the figure finding board because there's never anything here, and there are a bunch of targets only 20 miles part from each other. |

im pissed at target , i was waiting for the other 3 , now i missed on studd. PISSED . I don’t get it… did Target tell you to wait? Was there a buy all four at once and get 50% off deal? If not then you should be pissed at yourself You get free shipping at a certain price point, so waiting for all of them to become available saves money. |

So heres what i gathered. Theres a street date of 8/3 due to store reset. Since studd was gonna be late his boxed had no street date but it arrived early for some reason which is why you can only find him. The others or the 3 stores i went to said 8/3

I mean Target has a reputation of only putting 2-3 up at arbitrary times and laughing at us

Since studd was gonna be late his boxed had no street date but it arrived early for some reason which is why you can only find him. The others or the 3 stores i went to said 8/3 Not saying you're wrong but I gather two things from your gatherings: 1) 8/3 being a tuesday is an odd day for a release. 2) that tells me they will be lost in the shuffle as the stores complete their resets, like L7 was, and they will be put out "when they get to that aisle". |

I was lucky to score an Eddie and a DDP when they went up so I may try and snag a Macho.

Dammit, Brutus went up and is gone again. Had him in my cart! This irritates me to no end - I still have a preorder that I am waiting for them to ship out, yet they are putting up stock? Ship all the preorders before putting any more stock up on the site, dammit. Complaining helped, I got a shipping notice for my preorder! |
