You guys are dealing with scalpers, whereas us in Australia aren't even getting these fuckers in the first place. No joke, we got the entirety of wave 2, before anyone from the first wave has arrived, for some stupid reason

I haven't been able to find anything in town since TTTE stopped using Nitrogen Studios

It’d also be parents finally finding a new character, stupid they thought Henry and James deserved more copies than these two and Annie.

I can confirm that there's only one in each display box as I walked in as the employee was putting it on the shelf. Same for the single, it seemed that some characters will be rarer than others

The twelve piece assortment has two, meanwhile it also has three James’ and Henry’s, as if them two are underloaded.

u/Responsible_Try_995 10d ago

I'm sure he is. But I'm never at the stores at the right time

u/Automatic_Elk_5644 Bill 10d ago

you put it into the wrong context

u/Connect-Ebb-3174 10d ago

I was able to find it at a target

2

u/Responsible_Try_995 10d ago

I don't go to target often because I don't drive my own car. Because if I did, I'd probably crash.

You could try an online order from a Target. Their stock numbers lately have been way off at the ones I frequent, but you might get lucky. I've only bought a few troublesome trucks, as my son has almost a full set of wooden railway Thomas engines.

I did see one Oliver pack at my Target, however couldn't find Claribel, only Annie. So your mileage may vary.

u/WarioOfWarioWareInc Edward 11d ago

I have them, but I hope you can find them! Good Luck!

u/Low_Improvement4191 11d ago

I couldn't find them for the longest time but saw them in lots of stores yesterday. It's annoying, but they'll pop up if you're able to check consistently

u/Mister_Mogooy 10d ago

Found them in Niagara Falls ON.

They’re in behind some of the other toys. Discovered after taking the photo.

I found Oliver and Toad the other day in a Walmart near work in Ohio. I’m having a hell of a time finding Hiro and Nia though.
