All we have is on the shelf they tell me. I don't mind playing the Brickseek game of wait and watch but any fun that can be had is completely taken away when you have to fight with employees to get the figures. It is annoying that you barely can get the figures at retail any way but then you have to wait until the employees are done sifting through the new inventories.

I may have to find an alternative like preordering from BBTS or Dorkside. I just always enjoyed the hunt on the outside but I guess those days are over.

That's because you are doing it wrong. You need to bring the DCPI with you, go to one of the red price scanners and type in the DCPI. If it says they have it in the stock room, then go up to an employee and say, "Hey, I'm looking for a figure your scanner says is in the back. I have the DCPI for you."

They will either then go get a telxon if they don't already have one, or find one/someone who does.

If they refuse to help you after that, then go and press the help button by the scanner (or it might be a phone).

I had no idea that Enchantress and Invisible Woman used the same face. I care more about the paint deco than what head they used.
