i mean common sense would tell all of us, i guess the stores aren't ordering as much due to the fact they have an overstock of older waves at each location. i've been to walmarts,one target store, TRU and they all have Cap wave 1, and left over spider-man absorbing man figures. im sure each store probably have pallets full of these things... i don't buy whenever you ask a store clerk, if they have anymore in the back then their response is "No". You honestly mean to tell me these big mega locations only get one or 2 cases at a time at their locations? i mean cmon...... i think it's a factor of laziness on the employees part and of course the store has too many of the current waves.

Personally i think they ( the stores ) are trying to get rid of current stock but unforunately no one is buying them. due to the fact everyone has gotten what they want from them at this point.

Well I used to work at Target, and personally it's less about laziness than some of us who just get tired of collector nerds thinking that the back room is a magically subspace where stores keep all the latest cases of the toys you want. When an employee says there's nothing back there, there really is nothing back there.

The stores you speak of do only get 1 maybe 2 cases at a time, and it's an automatic ordering process that will tell the Distribution Center to send more only if that store needs more, if you want another Cap ML case of 8 to show up you need to go out and get rid of the pegs full of Hulkbuster wave and Red Onslaught wave figures no one wants first. There's no secret about it.
