Store reports at Coreplanets.com have indicated that after the great purge of TVC pegwarmers at Target stores, the result so far is mostly Wave 5 being stocked… and sure enough, I saw the same thing today.
While we greatly appreciate that Hasbro has taken some action to get rid of all those 4-LOMs, Dengars and yellowing oversized bucket head Clone Troopers, we don’t think that seeing Wave 5 showing up again is a great sign. Our hope is this is either isolated to certain distribution centers, or will be limited to a case per store – because there are too many good figures in the later waves that are too hard to find.
