Ok, this doesn’t suck anymore. Walked into one of my Targets this morning and snagged a Chase Valentine. 😂
One observation, after a week the Razors and Hennans are becoming peg warmers in my area, while the Valentine’s go immediately. Anybody think this will make the Valentine’s even harder to find or will it even out once the first wave of determined collectors get their fill and the scalpers move on?

If the 2 per case figs are warming pegs then the stores won't order anymore which means no more Valentine |

If the 2 per case figs are warming pegs then the stores won't order anymore which means no more Valentine I was specifically looking for Valentine this morning as he's the only one I didn't have. An employee brought out a case and I snagged him. I've seen Razor and Heenan at other stores so I think everyone is just after that Hammer since it's only 1x per case. |

Seeing heenans everywhere. Frustratingly no valentines. Why they would think people want a guy in a pajama suit is beyond me.

I feel there will be plenty of Valentine figures being returned. Many people were ordering multiples online hoping for the chase. I am certain many of those extras that aren’t the chase will find their way back into Target stores.

I have one of each at this point but my kids will want one to play with at some point so I hope to snag one more regular. |

Seems like I’m seeing a lot of people finding the chase. I wonder how they’re packed. The rate I’m seeing it looks like 1:2 or 1:3.

Main line chases seem to be around 1:4 but these appear to be much more common based on what I’ve seen people finding. I see as many yellow as I do black. |

This headline remains the funniest thing ever to me, lol. NEVER BEFORE. Hahaha.
Meanwhile we're finding them in stores and getting shipping notices; I just got my notice today and I'm on the later end of things I think. I also found 2 of the 3 at a local store yesterday.
It will all work out ...

It will all work out ... While a bit dramatic, I phrased it that way because I've never personally seen such a mania about figures before, and the difficulty in tracking them down. I've never seen them treated like funko or NECA before. You're right though, it took a week, but it all worked out. |

I think it just cracks me up every time I click on the Mattel section and see "Never before" lol. I'm glad it seems to be working out better than initially anticipated. |

Picked up another regular Valentine this morning for my kids to beat the paint off while I cry inside. Bad news is that the store now has three Razors and four Heenans warming pegs.

Yeah, I still think the case breakdown was a huge miss. The case breakdowns were ridiculous. Especially for a wave that was designed to have four figures and not THREE. |
