Another problem seems to be nothing ever goes on clearance/deep discounts at toys r us and walmart like they do in the states. All my local stores are sitting on mountains of old DC, marvel and star wars, and two years after being filled to the brim with pegwarmers, walmart is just now clearing out star wars black series for half price.
Spot on, Webs.

If the stores would deep discount the figures, I would probably finish all the waves that I had no interest in completing due to weak BAF or undesired character selection. Most of my local stores are sitting a surplus of left over Red Onslaught (cottonmouth, mockingbird, Whirlwind), Rhino (Misty Knight)BAF, Absorbing Man (Speed Demon and Beetle), Juggernaut (ice man, havok, kitty) BAF waves. Of those 3 waves Id gladly pick up the remaining figures from the Onslaught wave for say $10

Re: Toy Aisle Trolls

So my parents were traveling in the states last week and they offered to look for stuff for me and brought back this. Can I contact hasbro or something, obviously I can't return it.

Hasbro CSR is usually super generous if your story is reasonable and you have proof of purchase, though you will not get the same figure back depending on stock

Re: Toy Aisle Trolls

This stuff really needs to stop.

Like that's a brand new figure, probably only 3 released in the city so far and he's retured with a sandman leg.

So frustrating.



Rob Edit: Can I just get you to resize the picture. It is so large I couldn't even red the text without zooming in. Thanks.

Sorry Rob, new with Imagur.

Re: Toy Aisle Trolls

Here's another one at Westbrook mall in Calgary.



My hatred for this person or people is growing exponentially and really hope that you eventually get caught.

At least you've found the box...better luck than I've had.

Hasbro just needs to go 80's style blister card and bubble cuz this is getting out of control.

As much as I hate what's going on, I absolutely adore seeing what other people are funding in their areas lol
