Anyways, let's just make sure everyone has a chance to own that fantastic figure.
That's what I'm saying!

i really wish all people were that considerate, but we live in a world with so many assholes it's ridiculous. people that just want to get these things and sell them on ebay.

Sheesh, I went and checked when you said something. I stopped reading when I hit triple digits for vehicons. Well Grove city target and Graceland target have no wave 3. Hopefully this week central Ohio will get some.

Maybe I'm just coming from it as I only want one, but so far it seems everyone's been good.

Also keep in mind, that troopbuilding, doesn't necessarily mean they are building a massive army. Like those who aim to get 2 or 3, as compared to the ones who hoarde a lot more. Kinda like me, in the end I aim to attain 3 total, and that's it. I already have 2, one found at retail, the other through BBTS. Again, I would say I am far from hoarding, that is for sure. So, I kindly ask that people don't label me the same as those who grab every Vehicon they see.

Besides, with the amount of Arcee and Ratchets popping up in stores, I am sure we are gonna see plenty of these too. Look at Soundwave, we had 1 a case and now, I see him all over still.

Oh of course not. You're doing the "right" thing, getting one at a time from different places. Thats totes okay.

But also, theres only one soundwave in the show, these are the army builder. And soundwave was repacked, Vehicon isnt sheduled to get a repack right now.

Which is understandable. I don't wanna make anyone lose out on these figures any more than the next guy. So, I limit myself to how many I wanted, a nice low number, and from then on, ignore them when I see them.

The Jet Vehicon is another example, I preordered 2 from Tak, so, that way, even if they DO show up in US retail, I will be ahead of the game, and may or may not need just 1 more.

Of course I actually wasn't referring to you- but I think if people find two on the pegs they whould just get one for the moment. I think that's the fairest for distribution as it may take some time for that store to restock. And unlike soundwave, arcee, or ratchet- vehicon is a troop builder figure and prone to be much less on shelves- which is a shame for people like me who only want one and have stores that seem unwilling to restock as it is.

I think most of this would rather this not turn into a rengades storm shadow case (well in my case) where the reason I was never able to get him was because people were buying more than one while I was unable to get my hands on any.
