    Welp, guess we need to start keeping our eyes peeled for ER Wave 3.

    Sigh.

    I ended up ordering some of Wave 2 and 3 this week because the distribution for the deluxes has been so weird/bad in this area, and it seems like all the places like TFS and BBTS are at least scheduled for sometime this month. Who knows when any of them are gonna actually show up in physical stores here? I don't normally preorder non-exclusive figures that are gonna be mass-released domestically, but it's gotten frustrating af.

    Roanoke /Clearbrook Walmart: Netflix Hotlink and Megatron available, and 2 35th anniversary Megatron as well. Cliffjumper ER wave on pegs. For those looking at GI Joe, multiple Classified figs available (Snake Eyes, Duke, Scarlett, Roadblock), and retro figs of Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow as well.

    Exactly. I got my Alicon from Pulse yesterday so I'm caught up on all the Wave 2 that I wanted. Now comes wave 3...
    I have a bad feeling that Wave 2 is going to get glossed over as 3 and Kingdom take up most of the Christmas/Holiday stock.

    For once, no “Ross-rummaging” necessary. Ultra Magnus, Astrotrain, and 4 Starscreams all clustered together in plain view. I grabbed the UM and 3 Starscreams (to custom into Rainmakers). Astrotrain and a Starscream remain.

    If we're gonna have Wave 3 supercede Wave 2 here, at least let it show up before my birthday so I can justify nabbing it all at once.

    The Oyster Point Target in Newport News had ER deluxes wave 2. Grabbed the last Smokescreen. Still 2 Arcees, 2 Airwaves and 1 Allicon when I left.

    Edit: the Ross down the street had 2 astrotrains, 2 magnuses and multiple starscreams scattered about.

    Popfinder says Shortpump Target has 11 deluxes. I feel like that number's jumped from last I checked it, but collecting's been such a malaise lately I can't be certain. Can anyone else confirm the number went up?

    A: Can't find any wave 3 stuff on ebay that would get here at any reasonable time yet.

    B: Dude how about just answer the question if you can, and save the platitudes for someone who needs them

    So I went by there this morning, they did have one of wave 2 on the shelf, the base guy. They also had 3 wave 1 guys. Presumably the rest are in the back, but if you're going to go in asking for them have them scan a wave 1 guy because apparently the other guys have "street dates" better to be safe than sorry.

    Also the short pump walmart got in those mini gi joe metal statues that were $10 for the 6 pack. I bought one, they had like 10 more.
