Oddly, Germany has been surprisingly good with distribution lately. Not perfect, but good. Some stuff took a little longer to materialize and some never appeared at all, but I can recall much, much worse periods.

 

Exactly. I'm glad you're finally getting some stuff sooner, rather than later. Apparently, some people, here in the States, seem to think we're getting the short of the stick.

 

"I CANT FIND EVERYTHING I WANT THE DAY IT SHOWS UP IN CALIFORNIA TARGETS AT MY WALMART IN MAINE. COMEON HASBLOW, FIX DISTRIBUTION!"

In all seriousness, the one time we actually had issues with distribution recently (POTP Wave 2), Hasbro said it'd be fixed and more would come out, and boom, more did. Hasbro wants to have new toys on the shelf to sell. If your Wal-Mart has 80 wave 1 figures, thats not Hasbro's fault.

Also, if you want to know bad distribution, look at Star Wars figures. 6" Black Series isnt too bad (But not good), but the vintage collection has gotten a serious shaft.

 

Which Galvatron head is that? I was looking at one of the custom ones but it is insanely expensive.

 

“Mad emperor” from render form, and yeah it was expensive, but personally worth it, look at that smile

 

You know when I saw a second instance of any figure from POTP wave 2? Last week. Not "over the summer."

Weirdly enough, I've seen a fair amount of SW Vintage Collection. Because look at the assortments. Stuff nobody wants and carded reissues of stuff nobody wanted in boxes. Just like when Target here loaded up on tons of now-dusty 12" Black Panthers so they could skip Wolverine.

 

I saw plenty over the later summer. Hun-Gurr, Elita, wave 2 deluxes. All of it. Still seeing wave 2/3/4 everywhere. Its definitely still regional.

From what i've seen with vintage collection is that wave 1 is EVERYWHERE, and 2 new waves were found within 24 hours of eachother, and then stores started getting wave 1 again, and a few store exclusives have been not released when they were supposed to late summer/early fall. I dont keep up a ton though, as I only get a few Black Series 6" figures.

 

For us dutch it is order online.
Used to enjoy hunting. I remember I got Evac g1 color Thundercracker from the first movie. Basically found everything except Bonrcrusher.
Nowadays 1 of those prime masters and a lot of kids junk and a. Dozen of the same. Premium deluxe movie figures thats it.

 

same here in the UK. almost had a heart attack when i saw potp scouts in person!

 

The hunt begins gonna have to start hitting up Targets this week to see what they got in my area hopefully I\'ll be able to find them, deffinetly want Magnus and Shockwave, I\'m really digging this line so far I\'m not complaining, the leader figures look great i hear they are on the small size but they are more inscale with the other figures which to me is awesome since they finally nailed the scale with a line of figures. Shockwave and Magnus are the only ones i need to finish wave 1 of siege hopefully there out there some where 

 

I can't find stuff in California Targets the day it shows up in other California Targets.  
(yes, I know your post was sarcastic, so not replying to you specifically)

 

Kinda reminds me of those ads for the charcoal toothpaste

 

Fyi numerous Walmart’s in Missouri got 1 each of the leaders overnight. Can use 63050974828 to check brickseek. Hopefully similar in other states.

 

This is only the Ultra Magnus UPC. It'll only work for some and not for others. The SKU will work best, it covers the Leader Class, rather than the individual figure ones will. Not critiquing, just saying YMMV, to whomever uses this. Best option is to have them scan the UPC after you use a barcode generator and they can tell you if it's in stock or on its way.

This system they and Target have are just a horrible mess. If GameStop can tell you which Pop! figures they have (using the actual item's UPC!) then those two should be able to as well. =\

 

That exact upc showed 2 in stock which were both shockwave and magnus and nothing else. I got it from the UPC thread here and it was listed as the assortment.

 

That's incredibly odd. It only shows Ultra Magnus when searched. I scanned the bar code, same. That's why I say YMMV. If it works for you and anyone else, that's great! I hope people can find these without much hassle or issue.

 

Walmart has the leader assortment Mis-labled.
