Losing any outlet is bad for consumers, it's bad for the employees of the company, and so I don't ever look forward to losing places like TRU, KB, Kmart/Sears, or this bit of a collector scare. I've landed a lot of stuff from HTS over the years, and in some cases they've been first for things. I know lots of folks got the new Forcelink figures there when they have only made scarce hits at Walmart so far. I know I've only seen the latest Solo wave one time and only the leftovers at that. I still need Rio and L3 for sure and most of my friends still need all of em. I hope they restock those soon.
HTS is in Pennsylvania too if I'm not mistaken, so it's another business here I hope holds out.
The Sears/KM closings finally hit near me, and one of the two K-Marts I have fairly close by is closing shop. They were the only stores here who had Wave 1 TVC at first besides Target, who was picked over on day 1 (IE: No Hoth Rebels). K-Mart I stacked some coupons and wound up getting 6 there all below retail between my two stores. It'll suck having one less place to check, but it's a sign of the times.
RIP Dave Coulier, but yeah, thankfully still gone. Cut it out.
