it really does take all the fun out of mugg hunting. most of us don't have the time to go a store as soon as it opens. most of us have jobs we have to go to. every once in awhile i will be able to leave for work a tiny bit early to go to a walmart before i start but i can't imagine doing that everyday. theres a weird vibe you get from walking around a store with no one in it. while the employees are still unpacking stuff and giving you looks like what are you doing here. most of the time i have to do my hunting on the way home from work and it's just sad that some slob beat me to the punch because he has nothing else to do with his life but hunt down toys and sell them. i really hope hasbro re releases all the waves crushing the secondary market.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Well put.

No ones said anything but I'd probably tell them that I am looking for a birthday preseant for my little brother, witch I don't have lol.

Exactly. Try and scare them. What are they gonna do? One of you guys needs to bring a camera with you and snap a couple pics of these guys to post on the forum. We could start a scalpers thread. Enemies of the Lounge.

Enemies of the Lounge. I agree! If I saw them I would probably have a little talk with them....If you know what I mean....

It has taken the fun out of it for me...I'm doing pre-orders from here on out for the ones I want. I may get them a few weeks later, but given how much driving it can take to (not) find Muggs, the shipping is totally worth it. And the quality of box I've gotten from Hasbro has been superior to the toy shelf boxes I've gotten.

im getting really sick of lazy employees. i was at walmart today and i asked a guy if he could scan the box for me and tell me if they had anymore in the back and he just look at me and walked into the back. then i asked another girl and she said she didn't know anything about toys and told me to go to electronics. i then asked the guy at electronics and told me why would i be told to go to there. he did escort me back to the toy department where i found the toy manager and asked her. her response was they are right there. i said no the newer wave i know they are out can you check in the back for me. she says oh all we have is on the shelf. blah blah we are also reorganizing this section. when are they not reorganizing the toy section i feel like it's been the same line for months now. i know people get paid min wage but it's still there job how about alittle customer service.

You should try my Wal-Mart. It's all Nortenos, even the Managers.

i'm finally sick of seeing the same beat up boxes of hulks and mace windus sitting on the shelf...you can definitely tell they've been out way early this year jus by the wear and tear of the boxes....
and dont you hate when they put packing tape on torn parts of the box and sell as is at the same full price?

Went to Target the other day and saw the new Marvel Wave. I had to leave for about an hour and when I got back they were thrashed in traditional "Field-Goal Kick" fashion. This is my biggest Woe. Every ther toy around is fine but something about Muggs just screams to little white-trash kids, "Kick me into the wall, I like it".

I honestly do not think children would do that... well maybe

I have never really collected a toy series like this before before, so I don't know all of the horrible seediness that goes on in the dark underbelly of the collecting game. If people really do that just so that other collectors won't get them, they need to be put down. That's just ridiculous. That makes me want to go beat someone up.
