One store in my area is pretty dingy... it's ridiculous how packed that the store is.  Most in my area are pretty well kept though, and probably 90% of my collection since 1995 has been bought at Walmart because I rarely find new waves at TRU or Target.

I just got charged for my Wave 2 case from New Force so these should be shipping to stores anytime now.

I'm so confused.  Weren't we on the 'bash Rick and NFC.com" bandwagon just a couple of days ago?  Man, I can't keep it straight. ;)

I suppose it just matters what part of the country you're living in.  I used to live in Vegas and overall their stores were very well kept/well stocked and mostly clean.  Out here in the Twin Cities is a different story.  The majority of the stores are filthy/rarely stocked and have lame employees.  Another thing that pisses me off about our WM's is that we rarely ever see their exclusives out here and that's just about the only time that I'll even bother to step foot in one of their stores.  Completely different story with Target though.  :)

Target's not bad around here, one store in particular was very run down before they tore it down and built a new one about two years ago - it made Kmarts look good!  They're probably not as clean/nice as the ones in MN though due to their headquarters being up that way.  Overall though the Targets around here are nice stores, except for the ones in the city.  Those seem to be more of a mess.

Out here in my neck of the woods several of the Walmarts are new supercenters and are sparkly clean with huge Star Wars sections, and quite often they have a center aisle display with additional Star Wars product.  But there is one kind of in the city that is disgusting - it's pretty far from where I live so I've only been there a couple times.

I've never said anything bad about them. This is the second time I've ordered from them.

I have been ordering from NFC since TAC wave 3. I have ordered 9 cases, Battlefront set 7 the new Evolutions case. I have not been disappointed once by them. I dropped D&S because they raped me on shipping when they combined and did not refund my money.
This is the first I heard of any complaints on NFC's. They rock in my book!

Damn, and I haven't seen the FIRST wave yet at retail.

Thank goodness they are up on HTS (first wave).

Well, with the four month layoff of carded figures, these two waves should be easy to find.

That sucks, sorry to hear.  I've never had anything but good transactions with them.  Did you talk to Dave about it (the owner)?

I did and Dave kept saying he would give me a refund, he never did. When you order from them do not pay in advance that's where I ran into trouble. I used paypal and placed several orders and was charged for shipping every time when stuff shipped together. I use to give him a boatload of business, he was not a bad guy but after I did not get my refund after asking several times I moved on to NFC.

Got my TFU case from NewForce today, so now I'm officially finished with the 30AC basic figure collection!   :)

Bring on the Legacy/Droid Factory stuff!  (only 5 months of waiting... :P)
