Wave 6 sightings - UPCs in first post

[Su_Nan]

I don't think I'll be finding any at my local wal-mart for a long time. I went there last week and they had 8, yes 8, full sets of wave 5.

 

[ptucker78]

I'm going to have to check the one closest to home tomorrow. They didn't have any Sunday, so I'm guessing maybe a truck would be in today, on shelves late tonight. They had a tone of small packs on the shelf late last week, but throughout the weekend the numbers were dwindling. Probably down to about 3-4 full sets from at least 7 on Thursday last week.

 

[Taelord]

Yeah, today I went to the wal-mart in Battle creek. That is a very long drive. I got ther, no wave 6, but two full sets of wave one. Overjoyed I went to buy them and realized I had left my wallet at home. an hour and a half away. I was mad.

Awesome Zincdust! Thanks for the news, but waitaminute...

P.S.- Oh yeah, I didn't buy any... I have too many people to buy Christmas presents for, and only so much money!

WHAT?!?

Aw come on... You know how it is... My wife would shoot me dead if I bought anything for myself this close to Christmas!

They are on *MY* list, however... But here's how my wishlist usually goes:

Zinc: "Here's what I want for Christmas! A Todd McFarlane NFL Series 1 Edgerrin James figure! He plays for the Indianapolis Colts."
Mrs. Zinc: "Colts; got it."
*On Christmas, Zinc opens up a "My Little Pony" doll*
Mrs. Zinc: "They didn't have any colts, but she's a filly!"

I hear ya Zincdust. That's why I went ahead and ordered a bunch of stuff from HouseMouse for a Christmas present to me from my wife.
When she asked me what I wanted for Christmas the other day, I said, "I already ordered my presents from you and thanks by the way."
She's like, "So I get to wrap them and you have to wait 'til Christmas morning to open them, right?"
"Ahhh...that would be a no. As soon as Mr. Brown delivers them, I'm first going to drool all over the packages and then I'm going to open them."

I've never ordered that much HS stuff before and I just want to savor the moment for a few seconds before I lose my mind and rip open the packs.

If I told her exactly what I wanted, I'd get a bunch of My Little Pony's and Playschool People.

The CE (European Conformity) logo is not covered on this Collection.

So, maybe Wave 5 was just too ugly to be sold in Europe?

Sadly, even though I orderd a bunch of stuff from House Mouse, I don't think that I'll be able to stop the urge to stop by every Walmart, Target and TRU that I pass to check their stock of HS stuff. I ordered the stuff to avoid the madness of searching the stores, but the madness is too strong to deny.

It's the thrill of the chase.

 

[kenjib]

Bunjee - I'm going to kick you in the junk and take your stuff on Saturday. Oh wait, that only works with guys doesn't it? Crap! I guess I'll just have to admire them from afar.

I stopped by Wal-Mart in central IL, and there was no wave 6 yet. But there were about 6 full sets of wave 5 just sitting on the shelves. I already have enough roborats and deathstalkers to keep me happy. (Didn't anyone tell these makers that Wave 5 has more uniques than any other wave ever made?).
Well, I'm worried they'll keep wave 6 in the back of the store until these wave 5s sell, but the way the shelf stocker looked at me while I was rifleing through the stacks and stack of wave 5 stuff looking for anythin new might make them think they'd better get the new stuff out there.
It was really pathetic, since the shelves were all practically bare from christmas shoppers. The wave 5 stuff is just collecting dust. (well I guess I could use a few more deathreavers . . .)

Yeah, so true.

It's the rush you get as you race down the aisles, knocking people out of the way to get to the HS section and either experiencing the elation and joy of finding the sought after goods, or... experiencing the agony of defeat and cursing yourself for wasting more time and more gas...yet again!

You could be a team Playa1 and buy them out of wave 5, thus forcing the stockers to bring up wave 6.

Agreed...It was killing me to be at work knowing that Wave 6 could be out there. And yet again...Nothing for my efforts...Except full wave 1 set.

 

[KingArthur1976]

Not to brag but I seriously think my addiction to heroscape has spread to unknowing customers.

Now that the semester has ended and I am unemployed (looking if anyone knows about a job ) Ive been reduced to checking every TRU, Wally World, Target and hobby store in the Greater Jackson MS metro area.

Well with the holliday shopping madness in full swing I've noticed alot of shelves being bare during peak shopping times.

The point: when I'm rifling through the heroscape section on a crowded isle I look like a madman searching for a pot of gold. Needless to say on more than one occasion I've seen a curious shopper pick up the heroscape boxes and raising an eyebrow.

If my foaming-mouthed madness-filled search for wave six has brought more people into the fold then so be it!!

Monday So. Cal (Tustin to Covina) Report

At lunch I hit 2 Targets and 1 TRU, nothing to be found, except a couple wave 1.

On the way home I hit 2 TRU, 4 Wal-marts, and 3 Targets in 2 hours and 20 minutes, not too bad if you ask me. Sadly, no Wave 6, but I did find the remain Wave 1&2 boosters that I needed, and I picked up some toothpaste & deodorant so it wasn't a complete waste.

I'll most likely make the same run tomorrow & Wednesday too. I'll post if I find any.

Oh yea, almost forgot, one of the Walmarts had and EOV set that looks like it's been riding around in somebodies trunk for a month. I bought it for a friend, sadly they only had one, or I would have bought more for all you out there craving one.

Note to self, paint bases before Saturday.
I'll let people play with whatever I'm not playing with, I trust you guys.

I keep telling people that Heroscapers don't have gamer funk, and now we know the secret! You have to pretend you went to the store for *something*.

 

[ninthdoc]

I've only met one 'scaper who had the funk. He's no longer with us.

Must be a first release on ther West Coast this time. Nothing around me as of right now. Try again tommorow.

You're just jealous b/c I look better w/my shirt off than you do.

Now this was funny. jj, only his career died. I keep waiting for zombie James Brown to revive it. He'll be killer.

zombie james brown would be absolutely terrifying. i just keep imaging zombie james brown doing a dance, maybe a little spin and when he drops down to do the spits his leg falls off... thanks for the nightmare, ninthdoc.

Whoa, there, fella! I never thought that I'd ever hear anyone jokingly threaten to kick anyone's "junk." I think I just woke up the neighbors laughing so loud!

I haven't gone to any stores today, on purpose. I'm so sure that my Wally and Targo will be behind in stocking their shelves that I'm going to wait at least one, maybe two more days before I tell the girlfreind that we are out of toilet paper. We actually have plenty of toilet paper, but I'm hiding it in the closet tonight...

 

[AmishBurrito]

auralerogeny,

I called all of the walmarts around raleigh, and none of them have unpacked the shipments recieved lately, but one of the employees told me they will be doing toy stuff first to try to get things on the shelf before christmas.

 

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

I tired calling Wal-Mart tonight, but they insisted those UPCs numbers were no good.

Silverstoner used to have us in stiches around here when he referred to it as "junk". What gives is that a reference from some comedian/show? It is hella funny.
