Last night at around 10 p.m. I went to my local Wally World to see if they had any new Transformers to stock up. I looked at the pile of boxes and found 4 boxes labeled for movie deluxes. I was so0o excited because I have been itching to get myself Lockdown, Brawn, and a few others from the newest N.E.S.T. wave (ours already has Mudflap, Dirge, and the Soundwave/Bumblebee pack). So I found an associate to let me look in the boxes, and he gladly did so. As he opened them my excitement turned to pure hatred for the entire branch of super stores...for inside that box lay all the first wave deluxes...Bumblebee, Ravage, Chromia, Skids, Mudflap, etc...
The man said that they have to go through this stock before they bring out the new stuff, but the funny thing is, NO ONE WANTS TO BUY THE OLD STOCK BECAUSE THEY HAVE IT!!!
It would make sense to me, if I were a person in any department, that if a customer wanted something that we had but wasn't on the shelves, I would do my best to get it for them because I would want them to come back!
I'm greatly considering just getting them off Hasbro's website or eBay, even if it does kill me a little for shipping...
*sigh* Rant over.
