And I think that there's (finally) been ONE sighting at a Walmart in the last couple of days (and wasn't purchasable due to not being scannable and only one of them in the stock, hence possibly very limited stock).

I don’t recall their ever being a shortage of wave 1 figures, but that said I still grabbed Magnus from EB. I get my 10% Platinum discount, so I’m good with that. They got it in first, so I like rewarding them for efficiency, and I can ignore the possibility of saving more from a TRU sale by having already spent time with the figure and gotten happiness from fiddling with it. If they get restock I’ll grab Shockwave from them as well.
As for shortage figures, I totally get it. Like I said, I don’t ever remember wave 1 shortages, but in recent years, in my area at least, Studio Series Jazz and Lockdown, POTP Novastar, Combiner Wars Skylynx and RID Bisk were all ‘there and gone’ in short periods. I never even saw POTP Rodimus Unicronus, and that’s with 2 Walmart’s, 2 TRUs, and 2 EB Games in the area. Heck, I bought Studio Series Dropkick from EB today because he was there for 3 weeks and I haven’t seen him anywhere else. Sometimes it does pay to just buy what you really want when you see it rather than wait to see if you can get it cheaper and end up missing out.
