But I wouldn't get too wound up about it. I've seen just as many first sightings come from outside California as I have within it. I still maintain that Wal-Mart's current distribution system is really screwy and is in need of an overhaul.

Speaking of Walmart.. Last night I was in the local one and was looking at the same old tired MU figures that they have had for months (close to a year) now, Hobgoblin and Electro and we are talking multiple of these. There was an employee back there unpacking freight (Transformers and Star Wars), so I asked her (identified herself as the Toy Dept Manager) when there were going to get anything new with the MU, first of all she started telling me that what I was looking at was new, told her that this stuff had been here for months, she then started to argue that they had just finished their resets so it was new, and once again I told her she was wrong that this stuff had been here for months now. Anyway I asked her to check to see if they had anything in stock, which she did and they didn't and they have no future orders for anything related to MU. So I have given up on my local Walmart as a source of future MU releases. As far as Iron Man 2 and Joe's they are pretty packed. Star Wars and Transformers are so packed they are literally falling off the pegs.
