Well, stores in general are the ones who decide what they actually want to order right? So I'm guessing Hasbro may be having a somewhat tough time trying to sell Wave 15 to retailers. Which probably may explain the speed at which Wave 16 is hitting the Philippines or other areas - a lackluster wave (to us collectors that is) with Iron Man, Wolverine, and (maybe) Magneto, y'know the "mom/dad friendly guys".

My closest Walmart is pretty dang good at keeping the shelves restocked. The toys department employee who works the noon to afternoon shifts is a kid I sorta knew in high school and he does a fantastic job. It's just that they're usually late with the new stuff.

Also, if anyone happens to remember my post(s) in the Marvel Appreciation thread about that morning employee who caught me stashing stuff....
I encountered him a second time, and boy was he being a jackass. I just waltzed into the MU aisle with a clear mind seeking the latest wave (nothing of course). And he came and asked me if I needed anything again (note: no Walmart employee has ever asked to assist me), except he had this sarcastic grin on his face. I responded dully with the usual, and he left. I then picked up a Daredevil who had this darker color scheme, so I was surfing with my phone to see if it was some variant or something (while holding it). He came back and leaned at the end of the aisle watching me, which was VERY close mind you and stood there for a good FULL 3-4 minutes while I was legitimately researching - he was just doing it so blatantly. Like "I'm totally screwin' with you like this on purpose". Guess I'm on the potential shoplifter list or something. Except that I think shoplifting's for depraved ass-wipes and I'm firmly against it. His behavior was understandable, but he didn't need to go that far really - he was just being a jerk from then on.

So I got pissed and left with nothing.

Whoa, sorry about the run-on paragraphs, had to get that off my chest - hee.
