I am in Michigan. I have not seen a single wave 4 release except for DP, however the over 25 Target, Walmart, TRU, GameStop and Game Plays I have visited in the padt 7 days have TONS of Wave 1-3 all of the sudden. What is the deal with that???

There hasn't been a restock of Wave 4 in my area either. I heard Gamestop had some, but that was 3/22. Nothing since then. I call places and TRU tells me they have L-TH and Walmart says they haven't even gotten a shipment in.

no no i meant restocking in general. activision sent an email to every major distributor early to mid march saying they will "be meeting demand" soon, which apparently means "we're going to floor every retailer with wave 3 and wave 1"

Oh, I see now. I'm sorry.

Yeah, I've been seeing really bad restocking in general overall where I live. The only places that seem to get anything is my TRU and a GameStop got a small shipment this past Monday, but that's been it. Anywhere else I go to or call has absolutely nothing, no Wave 4, no Wave 1, etc.

Thats funny cuz when wave 3 came out it seemed like an awful lot of people on ebay were from Michigan.

we still got a lot of wave 3 just no wave 4 but i have only heard of wave 4 from gamestop in MI other than that no walmart, best buy, target, or toys r us has had zook or lightning rod if it wasnt for Gamemaster i wouldnt have zook or lightning rod. Im hoping wave 5 wont be as much trouble as i just want to get warnado, camo, and wham-shell and call it a day till giants.

this is ridiculous. One gamestop told me all they got in was 1 Lightning Rod. What is the point of that????

I believe there's one of each in a box of 6. So they probably got like one box. I don't know why when they have a new wave of figures coming out that they don't just stick a box full of one kind into the shipment. Or even make half of them one, and the other 3 another one?

The distribution is the not the best but it does allow Activision to distribute the older figures along with newer figures. This method of 1 unique figure per case of 6 is really good in the long run but it makes it harder to stock newer figures because to have 12 new figures means you are going to stock older figures (3) which may or may not be in demand at that time you get them.

I'm still looking for anything from Wave 4. But yeah, plenty of the older stuff has returned.
