Kirkwood, MO TRU (St. Louis) has all of the flagbearers.

Just FYI.

Hey, no fair trying to unload your surplus shelf-stock on the community. Shame on you. Hamden TRU's shelves have about 78 FBs on them right now. Everyone should buy those to teach StLB a lesson.

Yeah, last time I was at the N. Miami TRU they had tons as well. Come on down to sunny Miami and partake of our leftovers, I mean, offerings .

(A great Spring Break/holiday getaway from the cold north....)

Well, I've never seen any but Ornak and Sir Gilbert on the shelves.

We're just messing with you--well, I am anyway --it is, as I've said before, amazing how these products all gather to certain areas. I have enough VW to build a real volcano at my local TRU (seriously, multiple stacks of it to the ceiling), but only one FotA that I could get on the great clearance sale (and I moved fast to get there...).

Anyhow, the vagracies of distribution continue to frustrate us all (well, those that don't have active eBay accounts, anyway...). Sorry if we seemed rude.

No offense was taken. I recognized the jocular nature of your posts. I continue to wonder about the distribution issues. It's been months since I've seen a castle or volcano set in a store and there were none when the clearance was going on. I'm a little bitter about that.

And of course when the local stores finally got new stuff in recently, it had to be Wave 5. Oh joy! More Nakitas. But somebody in town has a ton of WoA and Roborats.

I'm not. I revel in it. :P


No, not really. I was, of course, kidding (except about people getting the FBs out of my TRU). I know the FBs aren't everywhere, they've just been hanging around here for an aggravatingly long time.

As a general rule, if I sound like I'm being a jerk, just assume I'm kidding (unless you're really sure. Then just tell me off ).

is there any way you could stop by there before Saturday and let know what they have. i'll be coming right through there and might have to make a small detour if it's worth it. i would appreciate it if you can.

I was there yesterday and they are down to one Hatamoto Taro and nothing else. The Customer Service folks told me that their truck comes on Wednesdays, usually, so if it wasn't there now it won't be there until next week.

Wow! Someone heard your callout for FBs--well done! (Maybe I should go check my TRU again...)

[outlaw_fan_7_8]
