Ah, no. And Amazon, my trusty back-up, has not put up the Ant-man wave for $10.99 like it has every other wave. Now they are $15-$20 with Prime. Its not like I can go out to ANY store and buy them, because no stores around me sell them. Plus, for $10.99, I was willing to pay a little more if it meant I was saving money on gas. If Hasbro is going to make these so hard to find and buy at a decent price, then I don't need the aggravation. Who am I kidding, I will eventually break down and buy them. I am too addicted to my plastic crack to stop. Do you think HTS will ever have this wave, or Amazon will offer at $10.99? Or should I just pay the current Amazon price because that is the best it will get?

I'm gonna steal a page out of ninjinister's book and quote David Vonner's tweet from 2/9/13:
"Imagine having the keys to a Ferrari, and the guy you hand the keys over to wrecks the car to oblivion! Great job guys!"
I love this line but I feel like he is referring to MU/MI. I did a lot of traveling this weekend to a ton of targets, same thing, empty pegs for MU with gray dots. Hasbro just isn't making enough to go around. I have resorted to ordering by the case and from online retailers cuz looking for this stuff at retail is pointless. The current brand manager is all about 6" Legends it seems like.

Also stopped by target yesterday as they restocked that ninja turtles sewer lair, got all excited thinking it would be $14.99, but the employee started yelling at me it was regular price (as I was on the phone corralling my kids). They sold out everywhere right away at that price. I was bummed, it would have made a great morlocks hideout/ mutant massacre dio, but I doubt hasbro would ever make morlocks or marauders. Probably for the best I didn't get that playset as it may take up too much space.
