I hope everyone in the 757 and other affected areas made it out okay because the weather was absolutely terrible until today.
Friday I checked out the Lynnhaven Super Walmart(off of Princesse Anne). 1 Snarler Cycle, 1 Sky Sweeper Jet, and 2-3 Mantis Attack Subs. None of the Battle stations. Wave 1-2 figures, maybe some wave 3. They also had
3 Dragonhawks!
That's the most I have EVER seen in the area!
Battlefield Walmart had 1 Snarler Cycle on the top endcap, 2 Mantis Attack Subs, and 1 Dragonhawk. No Battle stations.
Kmart in Chesapeake didn't have anything but wave 1-2 stuff.
Kmart off of Kempsville DID have some new stuff in the form of wave 5. However Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow were gone, predictably, and a Desert Viper, City Strike Duke, and Jungle Assault Ripcord were left. I bought the Desert Viper.
Also on Saturday dropped by the Military highway TRU. Saw 1 Charbroil(which from what I read in this thread, WillyK probably picked up) and I picked up 1 Doctor, and there was another left. Unfortunately I thought I saw a Nano-Viper but it wasn't; it was a Neo-Viper REPACKED in a Nano-Viper package!
On the top shelf were cases of the Attack on the PIT sets. The new 5 packs were in stock as well, 2 left of the Cobra set, 3 of the Joe set. Surprisingly the movie SRO sets are not there yet.
I saw a guy grab the last True Heroes F-22 as well. There should be more but yesterday was the last day for the $15 sale, and at that price, that F-22 is a steal. The running change version with gray camo, new packaging, and gray missles should be following soon. They are out of stock at the Lynnhaven TRU.
Lynnhaven TRU has a bunch of Snow Serpents, maybe even more than Bench Press.Very few wave 3 with mostly waves 1-2. SRO sets and the new 5 packs.
The Lynnhaven Walmart past the mall(the small Walmart) had very few wave 3, no battle stations, 1 Sky Sweeper Jet, Mantis Subs and possibly the Snarler.
The current trend I am seeing is that Walmart is starting to get the wave 2 alpha vehicles and Dragonhawks in more frequently. As for wave 5, the 1st stores in our area to have them were Walmarts and Kmarts, but it has been
VERY SPORADIC
. The stores are going to have to sell through the huge amounts of waves 1-2 figures before we see wave 5 hit saturation. Hell I only saw wave 4 in it's entirety
ONCE!
Also worth mentioning is that while we have seen wave 3 become more common, it isn't at saturation level yet here. In all honesty, had Walmart not received those endcaps with 1 set of wave 3 each in them we would barely see wave 3 around here. I have yet to see it AT ALL at Target! No idea on what's the hold up with the wave 2 deluxe figures too! It's a feeding frenzy out there trying to hunt for stuff when it's holiday shopping season!
Target in Nimmo just wave waves 1-2 stuff NO wave 2 deluxe figures yet.
Nimmo Walmart had ALL of the Battle Stations! Not on an endcap though, they are on the bottom shelf in the middle of the action figure aisle where the joes are at. 1 Doctor and a bunch of waves 1-2 figures with some wave 3. 1 Mantis Sub or more, I think the Sky Sweeper Jet and Snarler cycle are gone though.
