It doesn't matter how much patience and persistence I have if the stores refuse to stock.

The only TRU in my area is 20 minutes away, in the next city. I live in a huge city myself that unfortunately closed the doors to all of its TRUs years ago.

In between everyone from this city, whether its scalpers, collectors and regular shoppers, and everyone in the next city, there is zero chance of having finding anything at this TRU unless you hit it at opening.

Two trips have amounted to seeing the same Marvel Universe figures - Bucky, Silver Surfer, Iron Man.. the usual shelfwarmers. Nothing but Secret Wars two packs. No Giant Size X-Men. No DCUC at all. They had G.I Joe but someone already cherry picked it to grab Low Light and Firefly.

The Wal-Mart near me doesn't stock MU. Not one figure. Target has had empty pegs for months except two Union Jacks.

Wave 13 has been an absolute nightmare to find, due to Hasbro Toy Shop and BBTS not stocking Cable and Cyclops individually. I have never seen even remnants of Wave 13 in the wild. I'm just lucky some members at TFW have really helped me out and I finally got a Cable / Cyclops yesterday.

I thank my lucky stars Scarlet Spider and Dr. Strange are already preordered.

Sorry that this turned into a rant but damn I hate my area. I love Marvel Universe, but damn if this isn't the most frustrating line to collect... just like the Toy Biz Marvel figures.
