    Stores seriously need to limit it to 1 character per sale. No wonder we can't find anything with people like you buying all the stock.

    Did he buy them for personal gain, or for friends?

    Some collectors may want 2, one to open and one to keep sealed. Regardless, I don't recommend relying on brick and mortar anymore. Save yourself the time and money, buy a Pulse membership, and buy your stuff there. I was able to successfully get Cosmos and Clampdown from Pulse without an issue. If there is a wave 2 of the Velocitron Speedia 500 figures, chances are Cosmos and Clampdown may be included in the wave 2 case assortments as well.

    leaks have stated there will be a wave 2 but only Clampdown is getting repacked.

    Nothing at Coit RD or North Central Walmarts in Plano. Same for any new Target exclusives or MM at Coit and Parker. I hope my Wednesday run will be successful. I really want Creatures Collide GB and Ransack, and don't have a preorder for Cosmos. Maybe I'll get lucky and finally get a usable Target Circle discount when I find Creature Collide.

    I do this all of the time for my local friends... my point is that he was making an assumption and kind of being a jerk for no reason.

    You should since it would completely invalidate your complaint.

    Did my weekly Cedar Park Target check aaaand nothing. Still.

    At this point I'm just hoping Red Cog and Creatures Collide go online since they're just not showing up in this area.

    For those with the target app, you can order MM for in store pick up, if your saved store has it in stock. Just did it myself!

    You, sir, are an unpleasant cad.

    Correct. I have no friends. :p 

    Exactly. I called a buddy of mine, he sent me his money, and we split most of it. I left an Override, because there were 3 of them, and neither of us needed a spare. If he had been in the exact same physical location as me as the exact same moment, the outcome would have been exactly the same. No one is scalping anything. These were available for pre-order on Walmart AND Pulse before they ever showed up in stores.

    You're not angry. You're envious. Sort your emotions out.

    Strange that the bar code request for Cosmos is such a mess. I hope it was not intentional. Here's a clear image for the group. Good luck out there!!!

    It's more unpleasant to have to drive in to the closest city only to find the shelves in multiple stores either empty or full of shelfwarmers because someone decided to buy most, if not all, of the stock. Every time. And I know I am not the only one with this problem.
    See above.
