It's why with the fluke exception of the GOTG wave 2, it's easy to find the first wave in a while of the brand but harder with second, third, etc, within a couple of years.

Think about the Civil War 3 waves. First wave no problem, in general. Second wave definitely harder to find eventually could find most. Third wave, retail was pretty much a joke. And because we tend to have 2 waves of Spider-Man brand every year, it's a recurring problem, yearly.

Oh yeah, it is definitely not just TRU but it is much more noticeable there.

I mean Target and Walmart both liquidated old stock around the same time, right before all these new waves were set to hit.

Yes, but also consider how long Walmart holds onto their figures for certain waves. The ones that hit clearance quickly are the one offs like GotG, Ant Man and Doctor Strange that do not fall under the Captain America, Avengers, Spider-Man or X-Men groupings. I suspect the Black Panther and Knights waves may behave similarly where they hit clearance sooner. Target already had the Knights wave on sale for $12 each. Walmart just finally clearanced a lot of the old waves for the big groups in the last 3-4 months. Target is still hanging onto most of them. Heck, if you recall, they dropped a whole bunch of the original GotG wave when the GotG2 wave dropped.

UGH their site is horrible. You can search on it and not find a result. Case in point was the Spidey/MJ pack. Their internal search would not return a page. However, if I searched Spider-Man Mary Jane Toys R Us on Google then the page was the first result.
