That sucks! Are they pinless knee joints? That happened with a recent Cyclops Marvel Legends fig I got too. I feel like the joints don’t work as well, are too tight, and I don’t really have a problem with pins, personally.

The more I look at my copy, the more QC issues I find. I hope they all aren't this bad, because it's an otherwise beautiful figure. I've sent Mattel an email about this so I'm hoping for a replacement or something. |

Relatively easy find today. Most targets by me had them in stock but were in back. 2nd one I asked an employee to grab them from back. Only gripe is my sultan has a very loose left hand. Super gluing it now to bulk up the pin. 40 some years of technology and we're still having constant factory quality control issues...smh
But all in all I wish all figure hunting would be this easy. Store says the individual figure is in stock, you drive to store, you buy it, you go home.

Gotta ask an employee to check the back, if they’re showing in stock. I know speaking to people is scary. that’s what I did and they went and got me the yoko, sultan, and ali I wanted nice to get it done in one trip |

Albano will definitely stay on the pegs for awhile, most of these millenials don't know him, heck the won't even know who the sultan is

Ordered Albano on the site. Now the question is do I display him heel or face...wearing the shirt,sleeveless shirt combo w/ Steele or with just the sleeveless shirt alongside the Wild Samoans. Hmmmmm...

Ordered the 3 Legends (not Ali) I wanted, along with two Yokos, all arrived today. One of each Yoko so perfect, regular Hogan. Nothing new on the pegs at my store, but would guess they will get put out sometime this week.

Been saving my app points for Yoko. Got street dated about a week and a half ago, so this morning I got up and put an order in for him and Captain Lou for pickup at the other Target in town. It's ready for pickup, so I'll head up later today and take care of that. Just picked up, no fuss, no muss. Nothing's been moved to the floor yet, so I'm glad I didn't go hunting. Bada boom, realest figure collector in the room. How you doin'. |

Placed an in store pick up order at about 1:30 in the morning, received an “it’s ready” message by the time I woke up. Went straight to the order pick up desk later on in the morning and walked out with 3 legends (minus Ali) and a Yoko. All regular versions. I might keep checking for a variant Hogan though.

Okay, hit two Targets this morning with nothing on the shelves. Really wish if the street date was 4/28, you could walk into the store on 4/28 and just buy the figures.... but okay. So I went on the App and ordered Albano for in-store pickup. Went back two-hours later and picked it up. So, lesson learned, I suppose. I was kind of hoping to look at the new set, possibly grab a chase Hogan (if they'd had it), and look them over for Quality Control, but I guess that's what I get for being impatient. Since this is how we're doing it, I just bought Albano. I saw that others were saying Albano will likely shelf-warm, my fear was that since it's "First In The Line" that it might be harder to find. So this was a priority for me. Great figure! I really like it. I'll buy Hogan IF I see it on the shelf. Ali & Sultan are likely passes from me.  |

I was really hoping 4/28 was an actual "street" date not "in back of store" date. I have no problems asking workers but went back for a regular hogan and got some idiot kid telling me they didn't have any in back even though online said they had 6...so had to drive to another to grab him. I think I went to 4 targets today and none of them were on the shelves and never saw the endcap display. |

Will some or all of the wave end up on sale or clearance? Probably. Personally I'm happy to order the wave, have it, and be done. No need to run from store to store or worry that I'll miss a figure I want. Order them through the app, have them delivered to my door, and save my time, gas, and sanity. That's worth a few extra dollars to me. |
