McFarlane and Hasbro have both cut way back on production runs due to losing so much money on clearanced peg warmers last year. Retail stores have also cut back on order quantities for the same reason. The days of just waiting for sold out preorders to show up on shelves are gone. Those Platinum Chase figures are gonna skyrocket on Ebay now.
👽❤️ love this video!! Milwaukee Walmarts don’t sell G.I. Joe, but Walmart has exclusive G.I. Joe’s. , they make it so difficult. And that’s what grinds my gears. ⚙️ 🔥
What Walmarts do you go to? I live in Milwaukee and my main two Walmarts get all the waves lol. I bought Airborne, Tele Viper & Quick kick all at Walmart lol
@@clevelandthompson3863 WHAT no way. I go to the one by Southridge Mall on 76th st, And 124th near Franklin. And the West Milwaukee just off Millerparkway. What Walmart do you go to ?
Walmart usually didn’t have anything anyway when trying to look. I ordered this from GameStop. I still stop in Best Buy sometimes. I like having the dvd or blu ray of movies. Streaming is like renting and they can take it down whenever they want to.
Agree, pre-orders going out of stock seconds minutes of release WTF?! And new releases no stocks anywhere and after a few months they release in Ross? After a lot of the collectors purchased from eBay?! TF is happening with collecting?! Just frustrating, miss the days when you just go to stores and buy what you want or go online and item is in stock 😢
First time watching one of your videos and happy to be late then never. Love the balanced perspective and in depth review. Easy sub for me and looking forward to more.
I 💯 agree with you on availability of McFarlane DC figures. Bane, Wonder Woman and now Darkseid all sell out or orders get canceled because retailers don’t get their allotments. It’s souring me from the line TBH. Great video as always bro.
Another awesome video gains. I agreed with the stripes on the pants. What a miss, dude anyway. On the figures he's putting out, I agree there gone in 60 wtf ,off to the secondary market 😳
What if I tell the next few waves are gonnba have more platinum than regular? No, I am not kidding, in my area we can already see the content of the cases and some of them are 1/1 regular to platinum and some of them are 1/2, shit is about to go crazy
@@Toygains For you guys who can toy hunt is probably not too bad, for us who can only order online it is gonna be nightmare, not sure how long I can keep up with this
He's great overall, that headsculpt is amazing, all the accessories they could have given him though. , An open umbrella, head with no hat, a penguin etc
Lol.... All 7 of my Walmarts still have Mcfarlane...they just moved it to the next isle away from Legends fir some reason...Seen the Batman and Robin wave.. Page Punchers Superman wave... Plastic man Wave ...So kindly disagree... Don't think Walmart will stop carrying Mcfarlane.... Just because Darkseid... It is Darkside by the way because Kirby created it and thats what he called him...Is sold iut doesn't mean people won't have a chance to buy...him....If you have any patience eventually he will be everywhere.... 💀
2 local Walmarts did resets and DC multiverse isn't anywhere to be found. Same with GI Joe classified. Darkseid is Bane all over again. Who is still sitting at 150 on EBay. Thankfully is coming again in a 2 pack. I have no doubt in my mind a Man skirt Darkseid will be in a 2 pack with Superman a Year from now. Also I hope I am wrong about Walmart. I'll have an update in a few weeks as I deliver these 3 time a week.
All points in the rant warranted and then some. McFarlane has some serious genius in some arenas, then makes some seriously head-scratching decisions at times. As far as people saying Hasbro and McFarlane have "cut back" so that's why pre-orders are selling out...ummm...they are PRE-orders. The "cut back" element might impact non-pre-orders certainly, but Todd even did a preorder limit on his version of a kickstarter! These folks are either shooting themselves in the foot and/or there are factors at work that make no sense that force their hand.
I imagine Darkseid will be a unicorn much like Wonder Woman. A well done figure at a great price point will probably never be in stock. Most other stuff seems to come into stock on Amazon at odd hours. I see a lot of stuff not easy to find show up for preorder or available at like 2:30 AM and then sell out.
Someone should send this video to Todd, he needs to hear this. I got lucky and got the platinum for Wonder Woman but I didnt want that version. I wanted the standard and had to pay 55 bucks on eBay for it since it sold out so fast. Shouldn't be this hard to get mainstay characters that everyone knows.
I went to target, best buy, and walmart. Final stop was gamestop and they were only store that had any newer releases. If I don't get my preorders in for mcfarlane, I'll prob never see them in person for retail. It's tough enough to get any new figures in store, and the platinum releases are a pipe dream unless I get lucky with a preorder. One thing I do love about mcfarlane is the time between preorder and getting figure in hand is almost always pretty damn fast. Some other companies are 6+ months until an item is actually released
Hey Gains, just wanted to know if u saw the pre order for the Gamestop exclusive Qui Gon, Obi Wan, and Maul 3 pack, i remembered u said u needed Qui Gon not sure about the other 2 figs
Wait let me guess, You mad about the price and the lack of Accessories and articulation. Am I close? PS I wish I could one day join podcasts like these that have a bigger following maybe one day!

My target still has firestorm and platinum Sinestro on pegs. My walmart doesn't even carry the cheap Superpowers exclusives.
Damn.

That cigarette DIY is genius 🔥

thanks man! I post about twice a week. Thanks again.
Great idea and craftsmanship on the cigarette holder
Thanks. And easy !
I love this channel and watching this man. Yall should join this community.
Very kind. Thanks man.
@@Toygains Thanks for the cigarette tip

He needs to make another classic WW
Another awesome video gains. I agreed with the stripes on the pants. What a miss, dude anyway. On the figures he's putting out, I agree there gone in 60 wtf ,off to the secondary market 😳
I don't get it anymore. It's like they go straight to eBay.
Wish I could watch tonight brotherman but I gotta get up at 1:45AM for work. Hope tonight's video goes great! Oh, I need that Penguin👌
Appreciate you man. Get some sleep!

Not sure if that's good or bad at this point
@@Toygains For you guys who can toy hunt is probably not too bad, for us who can only order online it is gonna be nightmare, not sure how long I can keep up with this
Can’t describe how happy I was when I found this wave last week, definitely recommend Captain Boomerang. That figure is damn near perfect.
Thankfully I have him preordered on BBTS.
I'll be there... haven't lost 1 single episode from your podcast! By far my favorite podcast!
I see everyone of your comments. The support does not go unnoticed.
He's great overall, that headsculpt is amazing, all the accessories they could have given him though. , An open umbrella, head with no hat, a penguin etc
Definitely!!
Thanks for the tips bro..u da man
No problem Tony!

Darkseid PREORDERS sold out in 6 mins i was pissed as hell
You should Be! I had to pull my work truck over on a highway at 12:02 to preorder!?
@@Toygains well i hope you got your orders ins cus i got the shaft
@@ToygainsI think it was about 12:06 ish that I pulled over to order him. I actually just arrived to a clients house and had ordered him.
@@mangoman1073 I did actually
Looks dope with that cigarette. Great tip. Now I just have to find the figure. 😅
lol yeah that's the dumb part

Agreed. I predict him in a two pack a year from now.
Will be out tonight but will try n pop in or at least on replay ). Get em Gains, get em!
I'm trying Beast. I'm trying .

GameStop is better than Target those days. And yes mcfarlane ships fast!
Good s#$t man like always and see ya tonight 🤘🏻
Thanks KJ. And I saw you!
This is such a great season of toy gains
Hell yeah. !:)
Is that a movie mask figure in the background 😅😂😂😂😂
Sure is:)
Hey Gains, just wanted to know if u saw the pre order for the Gamestop exclusive Qui Gon, Obi Wan, and Maul 3 pack, i remembered u said u needed Qui Gon not sure about the other 2 figs
I did! Pumped! And thanks
Love the smokes on penguin, it's perfect! Also it does bug me that he doesn't have pin strips.
I'm tempted to paint them.
@@Toygains If you do show us how to do straight lines!
Your vocal impression was on point, you should have kept going. 😆
lol! I'm sure it would have led to Elmer Fudd or Mr. Magoo
He can't make money off of repaints if they don't sell out.
I’m mad because I can’t find either blue or red Superman from the plastic man wave and I never saw Wonder Woman
The distribution has nose dived
@@Toygains distribution for Todd is the worst it’s ever been
Wait let me guess, You mad about the price and the lack of Accessories and articulation. Am I close?
PS I wish I could one day join podcasts like these that have a bigger following maybe one day!
Be available when one of us can't make it.
@@Toygainsgotcha, Thanks gains
Oh no, why you mad?? Imma say the shitty price!
..."but wait, there's more"!!
but yes lol
@@Toygains I was finally able to get a preorder for Darkseid in at GameStop. It’s still available
Idc who Hatess me that Wonder Woman is blah, it feels and looks like a expensive Barbie, this Starfire coming is way better.
Her face is a little soft. But I love the rest. Starfire looks pretty flawless. Did you get movie Cat Woman ? She's good
@@Toygains I love both versions of the movie Cat Woman they right by her.
I'm waiting for a batman returns penguin, I don't think he's ever looked better than that iteration
That’s an awesome setup Sir!!! Is that a room or the garage? I’d love to have that space someday. 🫡.
It is indeed a garage. You'll get there brother. Took me 20 years but I did it.
I’m not missing the show today. The alarm has been set. MEGA POWERS ASSEMBLE!!!!🫡
Thanks man!!
