Giving up on these

Im kind of giving up on these spinmasters at the moment. Around here, it's gotten to the point where stores aren't stocking any new cars. Never saw an autographed one over the weekend, haven't seen a Biffle car yet, and certainly haven't seen any of the ones from the newest wave. ALL, and I mean all of the Targets and Wal Marts around me waaay over ordered on the wave with Truex in it (whatever one that was) and my Target I work at has had 6 cars on the shelf for probably close to 4 weeks now. Really disappointing as I have every car up to that point including the 22.

I'm pretty frustrated too. This whole autograph release really discouraged me. I thought I would find at least one if I hit store after store, yet I never came across one. Another thing that really bothers me is how the cars are released in Canada (understandable as Spin Master is located there), but how long does it take to transport some cars to the U.S.? They are released in Canada and it seems as if it takes a month or more to see them in the states.

Discouraged is a good way to put it. I haven't seen new cars around here in a while, and not seeing any autographs was like a kick in the pants to me... It almost feels like we're forgotten here in Maryland all of a sudden. They couldn't keep these things in stock at the beginning, then all of them horribly over ordered to the point they were all over everyone's toy aisles and now were stuck. Well, except at my Target. 6 cars left, one for each peg and we still can't get new ones. No autographs, nothing. This is why these cars need a release date, so stores (hopefully) don't over order because they know another waves coming.

Its pretty much a crapshoot with these now, & factor in the random autographed ones. I myself am missing a few including the latest releases for 2012. Only time I really make it out to a Wal-Mart or a Target is when I need to do some groc aka grocery shopping or pick up a few odds & ends I missed. Night shift 5 days a week hinders my chances of checking all the time. Gotta sleep sometime so that takes the checking during the day out of the equation.

Yeah, stores are bad by me are bad as well. If they have ones I don't have, I'll pick them up but if not, that's cool, I'll wait till the next time. As for the random autographed ones, odds of me finding just one are slim to none.

I'm sitting at 22 total including variations. I think we all are in the same boat paddling & just going in the same direction.

Yeah, I work nights too, but it's at freaking target and I can't get any new ones. I was excited about being a stocker for this reason lol. I have 19 spinmasters and it's just frustrating right now. I wonder if I could get a loan to start a die cast company and start my own mass produced line with input from you guys lol

Perhaps if we combined our resources & worked together we can help each other out. For example, I might be finding some that you are missing and vise versa?

Its pretty much split between Target & Wal-Mart where I got 99% of them. The 1% was from ebay, of which was the Kurt Busch (Did what was right for me & I really wanted it as I was going for the entire series)

the key thing is to be patient, losing patience just makes the situation worse. Always wait at least a month or two, sometimes getting what you may want takes 17 years. It took me 17 years to get a 1993 Alan Kulwicki car, NASCAR champion of 1992. The stuff will come just wait about a month or so and maybe it will begin to come in.
