anyways!

the good news, i got them to order cases of MU and they let me get first dibbs on every new wave. my pointless hunting and disappointment has ended! i just got back from picking up all of wave 16 =D

Nice! I just got my LCS to order the next wave as well, but their prices are sucky, like $15 a figure, and I only get 10% off.

So I've tried to get my LCS to order MU about 5 months ago, and the guy (who is really cool, but clearly bi-polar) was very adamant that it would be too complicated and not worth his time. Well obviously it isn't that hard to do, and this kind of annoys me because I've spent alot of money in his store. Oh well.

Yea, I've been over the ordering system for the MU characters, the customer can put in an order for only one figure through Diamond's ordering system, at around $13, and it forces the store to order an entire $98 case just to get the one. Most LCS's probably won't let that happen.

I saw the original Havoc at a LCS here in town for $15, and I traded a different one straight up for my Marvel Select Juggernaut for the same Havoc figure.
