Went out on my normal route run....found nothing I needed but I did see remnants of the Thor and Netflix wave. No Hela, BLade or Elektra but did see everyone else. My highlight was finding out that there's a LOTR Balrog for Funko Pops and it. Must. Be. Mine.

Sad tale though, this lady with her looked to be 8 year old kid was looking through the figures and saw me looking as well, she asked if did I know where I could find the spider-man movie figures. I did point to the non-legends but she said she got her kid one of the bunch but he wanted more. Told her I was sorry but I couldn't help her, really the best bet is online - reinforces the point that it's freaking ridiculous that a huge movie like Homecoming has been out over a month now and the wave for those figures are still nearly impossible to find.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if Hasbro's going to start doing so many waves they need to get some kind of better organization together, as do retailers, in order to ensure that the waves actually make it to the shelves. There's no logic to creating waves that 90% of the product essentially becomes online purchases simply because brick and mortar are so swamped on similarly coded product they don't order any. Changing the brand code for each wave would help somewhat...I can't figure out why they can't figure that out (or they just don't care.)
