Didn't see a thread, so figured I'd make one.

How's everyone's lineups looking?

Personally, I still haven't been able to find Ralph or Comic Book Guy from the 2 inch figures. Tons and tons of Kamp Krusty Barts, and I found Grampa and Milhouse once (luckily I grabbed them, since I haven't seen them since), but the only time I saw Ralph and CBG were at a LCS, where they were both marked up to $20 each. Are they chase figures, or is distribution really that shoddy?

Oddly enough, the Macy's stores around me never got that wave in, but they got in the following wave- Skinner, Martin, Nelson, Patty, Dancing Homer. Grabbed all but Homer, and now there's a sea of him and only him on the Macy's shelves.

I'm still loving the line, but the distribution seems to be really wonky.
 
The distribution is frustrating. A fellow collector helped me out with Scratchy which was awesome as I have not seen a refresh for that wave at all. I also happened upon a fresh stock of the 5" line: Marge, Lenny, Milhouse, and Homer at the Bat. I grabbed all of them. Haven't seen anything past that wave yet. That wave turned out pretty nice. Marge has a great sculpt, though I don't know why they had to split her hair into two pieces as it looks kind of bad. Maggie is too big, but that's true of all of the kids. Homer looks awesome, but he can't two-hand hold the bat even though the promo shots try to trick you into thinking he can. I expected as much, but still disappointing. Also I remain disappointed that he has the same blank expression as wave 1 Homer. Lenny is solid while Milhouse is the surprising stud of the wave for me, and maybe even the line? From dud to stud, the story of Thrillhouse.
 
The 2” line is worthless IMO with their current case packs. According to Entertainment Earth’s breakdown it’s like 4 Bart, a couple of Krusty, and everyone else is single packed. I get the main family sells well but when all I’m seeing are Barts the case pack is garbage. And I wouldn’t buy a full case when half or more of it is duplicates. I’m sticking with the 5” line personally but would have loved playsets.
 
It seems I need to complain more, because I walked into 2 Targets yesterday and saw a slight restock of the 2 inch figures. First Target only had Grampa and KKB, but the second had KKB, Milhouse, and a single Ralph! When I tell you I beelined for that little rascal! Happy to have one of my favorite characters finally. His hair looks a bit like fondant, but otherwise he's quite nice. Still no sign of Comic Book Guy, but hopefully I'll find him somewhere. Macy's also had a ton more of the latest wave- lots of Skinner and Nelson, but no Martin or Patty this time.

GameStop also had a single 5 inch blue shirted Bart, but the employee said she didn't think they had any of the other figures in the wave. I'd have grabbed Barney if I'd seen him.
 
Excited for Burns and Patty, at least, but I'm not gonna necessarily hold my breath on finding them. I still see nothing but Kamp Krusty Barts and Dancing Homers on the shelf. Still on the lookout for Comic Book Guy.
 
These just having been moving at my Targets. Been sitting in the same figures for months now, at least for the 5” line. The 2” line is hard to gauge since it’s just Homer and Bart variants clogging. They need to seriously adjust those case assortments. Way too many core family members and not enough other characters. It’s turned me off from even trying the 2” line.
 
I still haven't seen the latest 5" wave around me. My local Target just as a trio of Homers on the pegs.
 
I don't know, I don't order these ones online since they're often by wave (and I don't want a blue shirt Bart) and there's enough variance to the production that I like to see them first. I ordered Krusty off of Amazon and ended up with one where his pupils were placed too high and it bugs the crap out of me.
 
Hit the jackpot at Ross today. They had the 5” Lisa, Kristy, Moe wave, which I already had. But they had just a couple 2” figures mixed in. I had to do a double take when I realized they were Itchy and Scratchy! Like many, they’re the only 2” figures I’ve been hoping to find since they scale with the 5” line well. Weird that not a single 2” Bart or Homer was there. Who knows how Ross inventory comes to be :LOL:
