    Brickseek is what made me go there and the Quakertown store says 6 plus on there as well so they may have some also

    Wait, so a mass produced toy (mass PRODUCED, not mass distributed as it would seem anymore, lol) is considered a collectible by them? K.

    They see us collectors hovering around daily.
    That makes what we're looking for collectables.
    It doesn't help our rep that the scalpers raid the place every morning.
    It doesn't help that the hot wheels collector make a mess after asking for a case in order look for the chase car.
    Just because it's mass produced doesn't mean it can't be "collectable".
    Look at pokemon & sports cards lately.
    They're behind the service desk now because some of us "collectors" were loading up carts with everything there and mass purchasing.
    Don't get me started on these "collectors" buying a hundred happy meals just to complete a set of pokemon cards.
    I'm afraid the actions of a few "collectors" have ruined the reputation of the rest of us.
    Mass produced they may be, but when the the cards go behind the service desk, or when Walmart places the entire action figure aisle in a glass case, the "kid's toy" becomes a "collectable".

    Sometimes it's a hasbro street date.
    Most of the time it's a plan date.
    Last fall, I found 8 marvel's ghost-spider on pegs.
    They were supposed to be held for endcap.
    Hence the date lock.
    As for not going back to storeroom, I haven't had a problem at target.
    If I ask politely and if they're not busy I don't usually have a problem.
    Maybe I just get lucky.
    I don't even ask at Walmart.
    They couldn't find anything in their storeroom if they tried.
    It all starts with shitty distribution.
    We "collector's" don't react well to empty pegs.


    Now it's time to jump off the soap box.
    Let the sightings resume.
    Go find those kingdom wv2's.

    Just ran in Cheltenham Target on my break and grabbed the other Airazor and Huffer. There's still plenty of Wave 1 Kingdom dlx figures on pegs in that aisle.

    All I need now from Wave 2 is Inferno which I'll just wait for Hasbro Pulse to ship at this point.

    That's it. Oh, and I'm 99% sure I just interacted with a scalper. He wiped out the new X-Men Marvel Legends. Do you suppose it's a crime to kill them? Yeah? How about maim? (Joking.)

    Glad you found them.
    And a little surprised.
    I would have thought someone would have grabbed them yesterday.
    When you take airazor out of package,
    Remember to re-position the wings.
    With the double hinges, you can really get them to fold nicely.
    Check 'prime vs prime' review on YouTube.

    Oh, and inferno is wv2, not wv2.
    And it's short-packed.
    2 dino's & 1 inferno.

    I went back to State College Ollie's on Friday and grabbed the last leader Prime. Indeed, I bought it just to have a trailer for Huffer!

    Two Doubledealers left when I was there. Whole bunch of the hot rod Micromasters and some random Cyberverse stuff.

    Man SS86 Voyagers are just completely absent everywhere aren't they? I don't have much hope for my Amazon Scourge pre-order actually being fulfilled in April.
