Hey everyone,

I had another question I would like to get some advice on. Lately I have gotten more interested in the Power Rangers Legacy Collection I saw at Target. However, There was only one figure I saw from that collection that I wanted, the green ranger. The other one was the Red ranger but he seems to be sold out.


The advice I am looking for is, it seems that there are some people "in-the-know" around some of the target/Walmart/toysrus stores who know exactly where they will be, and when they are there and buy them all up (this also is true for figures like Marvel legends).

I understand that some of these people may know someone that will call them up and tell them if they have them in stock, but lets say you don't know anyone.... How do people go about finding these things in the store, but scalpers, or other collections buy them up?


Sometimes I notice these stores don't really keep good track of their inventory like what is in stock when you check online (although Walgreens seem to be doing a great job with this)


Does anyone have any advice on things like when these toys will get shipments (do new shipments come in on days like every Tuesday), how to track it, or maybe if there are alerts people have that will let them know when they arrive?

Or is this literally a game of patience and I literally have to keep going to the stores physical location wasting gas and time hoping that they just happen to be in the store?


Thanks for any advice in advance its much appreciated!
