    North Hanover Walmart had a case of SS 86 Deluxes on the pegs, two Cyclonus, four Primal, and dozens of Core class.

    Grabbed a Kup, left two Jazz and two Blurr.

    I must have been there just after you around 10:00 there was only one primal, one jazz, and one blurr left.

    I stopped over at Hanover target and saw someone with a ss86 gridlock in hand but nothing on the end cap or in the aisle. here’s what was on the end cap.

    I was there earlier in the day and they had no SS Grimlocks so that's pretty irritating!

    I watched the guy for awhile, kinda interesting, he was going thru each aisle, and even was looking in the poster tube end cap’s to see if there was anything there. He has his hands full and stacked up. Maybe he found one that was hidden. Don’t know, my wife thought it was strange how he was kinda wandering the aisles.

    I didn’t get one either. The shelf was empty.

    This Buzzworthy line was clearly a mistake.

    I stopped at my Target and Walmart in Wilkes-Barre last night and nothing.

    Walmart looks as bare as it ever has, and Target only has Buzzworthy figures.

    In one sense, glad, because it justified me ording from CMD store. In another sense, terrible, because my area is just that bad at getting decent stock.

    Granted, they could got some SS86 figures in and sold fast. Both stores like to do the one case at a time BS, even though they make enough room for several cases worth of figures.

    IDK if this is due to Covid, or just stores not ordering enough product.

    Another bad day on the roads.
    Take it easy.
    No figure is worth going out in this mess.
    Stay home and enjoy the game.

    Cheltenham Target still has 2 Blackarachnia's and nothing else.
    Cedarbrook Walmart has about 6 SS86 Hotrods, 1 Blackarachnia and 1 Dlx Fossil.

    ...I've been trying to be patient with CMDstore regarding my package that's been sitting at a USPS facility in Philly over a week now so I emailed cust. service and they're reply was:
    The only reason I haven't cancelled this order yet is because I haven't seen Grimlock or Kup at any retail stores yet.

    I understand everyone's frustration, but they're right.

    I've had TWO packages 'lost' by USPS in the last week (Prime Shipping too).

    Seems as if they're getting bogged down again.

    That Walmart is consistently the most pathetic Walmart for toys that I've ever seen.

    Which at one time, it was the best one in the area. When I lived closer to the Dickson City area, I would venture to Wilkes-Barre and usually come back from the area with decent merch. Now that I live in Wilkes-Barre, it's the worst one.

    How would you cancel an order that has already shipped? They're not going to give you your money back. They shipped the product, and it's been well known for months now that USPS is majorly bogged down.

    I had 2 order from CMD:
    Hot Rod & Scourge: Shipped Jan 11th, arrived Jan 30th
    Grimlock: Shipped Jan 15th, Arrived Jan 25th
    BOTH of them sat at the different depots for days. Scourge/Hot Rod got stuck between FL and PA for 2 weeks, Grimlock got stuck in Albany for 3 days.

    USPS has still not recovered completely from Christmas.
    Your best bet is probably to call your local post office and give them the tracking number, and ask if they can initiate a trace. I've done this a few times with my local USPS location that my postal worker operates out of. You're more likely to get something done through them than calling a main national number. There should be a direct number you can call, just look it up online.
    Unfortunately you may just have to be patient.

    it’s mindboggling isn’t it?

    let’s blame the store we bought it from instead of blaming the shipping company? I feel like some people believe that where ever they order something from, is personally hand delivered by that company.

    I still don’t know how you cancel something that was already shipped????

    Same can be said for Chambersburg Walmart.
    After getting the Deluxes there yesterday all I am really looking for now are the Headmasters.

    Next thing I'm looking for is Huffer. I'm looking forward to taking a break for a little while
