Hasbro, How Could The Vintage Collection Have Been This Mismanaged?

This is now outrageous! Click through to read Paul C's store report from a local fiVe BELoW. It's actually nothing new.... yet it is!

Wave 4 of The Vintage Collection has hit Paul's local fiVe BELoW store in crazy numbers. The best part? All were unpunched and in relatively great condition for only $5. This is unreal that this wave completely failed at retail. If you can jog your memories, this wave had a street date of December 2010 and didn't make an appearance at etail or retail under after wave 5 in February of 2011!

Paul,

I have to share this with you and the JTA readers! On my toy run today I decided to expand my search and try some dollar stores and job lots. I never thought to do this before because my time is usually so limited that I'm forced to stick to the familiar stores. So, I went to this place called Five Below in Stoughton, MA. As I walked in I saw a series of wheel barrows each featuring a different product. My jaw dropped when I saw one of the wheel barrows filled with TVC figures and a $5 sign above it! The majority of figures were from the Attack of the Clones wave. Every figure from that wave! The only other figures were Grievous and Sandtrooper from wave 2 and Vader from wave 1. Despite being tossed in a wheel barrow they were all in excellent condition and all un-punched! Since I have all of these already I just picked up a couple for extras. When I asked the young woman who works there about them she said that they had just gotten them in. I asked if they regularly carry Star Wars action figures and she told me they usually have something in but they have no control over what gets delivered. BTW, these were the only Star Wars action figures they had in the store. No Clone Wars or Saga Legends, etc. They did, however, have a bunch of the new tin lunch boxes for $5. So, If anyone up in this area played the long game on Wave 4 this Five Below is the place to go! I'm always envious when I see one of your readers find an awesome deal. I'm glad I can finally share one of my own! Pics attached.

Sincerely,

Paul in Boston
