Do we all have the same peg warmers? Why do you think these figures aren't being grabbed?

Keeping my town warm...

Buzzer = A big peg warmer around here. Joes are few and far between. If you find one it is gonna be Buzzer. I wonder if him being sold alone while the other Dreadnoks were sold together has anything to do with it. In my opinion Dreadnoks are "triplets." If you see all in the store you may take them all.

Hooded Cobra Commander = I like this guy but it clear why he's warming the pegs. That closed fist of his. I like him but it appears other don't.

Ship Wreck = Could it be that cartoonish look about him or maybe that closed fist of his? He's got that in common with Cobra Commander. That fist does help to define the characters but it is unless feature.

Wave 1 of the Comic Packs all of them = Hawk's is good for custom or a quick green shirt army. The rest it has to be those bad colors. Comic Packs in general no matter the wave aren't fast sellers. Is it because more are being sent to the stores then single packs? Bad cartoon colors? The simple fact that you only want one figure but are forced to buy 2?

(Honorable Mention)
First 2 5 packs = Not warming at first. You couldn't find them. Later for a time when I wanted to find wave 2 &3 of the single packs all I was finding was the 5 Packs. Stores started to finally move them by the time wave 4 arrived.

Wave 3 at Target Only = In my area. Wave 3 came along before Wave 2 arrived. After Wave 2 came and went. Target got a restock of Wave 3. Wave 4 came and went. Target got another restock of Wave 3. Wave 5 came and went so fast I only saw one CG at Target. Nope they didn't get a new stock of Wave 3. They still had plenty extras from before. I might find Wave 3 warming pegs at other stores but Target I can still trust for that.

Only thing really warming the pegs here is the Scarlett and Hawk pack, that's only because it seems the comic packs have been able to make it here.

Stalker and Buzzer are the only figures that really warm around here.

Even the Hooded Cobra Commanders are finally all gone.

When it comes to singles, no warmers at Wal-Mart. Target, 1 Buzzer at 2 different stores, the other 2 stores, no singles to peg-warm. Comic Packs, Hawk and all of wave 3, at various stores.

Buzzer (boy, talk about a common point), Scarlett, and Cobra Troopers. That's just an offhand look. Not paying that much attention to it.

Other than Buzzer like everyone else, we have a lot of Serpentors in my area.

Tons of Buzzers around here, and a few Serpentors. I actually really like both figures, but I've just reached my limit on them (...and considering that my limit on Serpentors was 12, I think I've done my part).

It just seems to be the Hawk/Scarlett comic packs. And only the diaper crotch Hawk. Fixed Hawk is really tough to find.
If there are single packs, I've noticed Hooded CC lingering. Everything else seems to get snapped up.

Hawk/Scarlett comic packs

It took me 3 months to find a Stalker, and when I did he was the only one there.

None.

Because every store here gets one case and it sells out immediately.

yeah, it's kinda sad that buzzer is a pegwarmer. it's like today's kids don't realize a chainsaw can be a weapon. how quickly they forget.... :twisted:

also, shipwreck is a pegwarmer, but most of the ones i see seem to be ones that have messed up paint apps around the face...

stalker's another one who keeps pegs warm at night, and day. i think it's bc stalker's not in his omg htf r@re tan chase uniform, but also he just kinda looks boring up there.
