That's a healthy amount of Wild Bills, I guess they are this years hooded CC and Buzzer.

I counted 10 at my local super walmart. Sad really. The figure is pretty cool, and i'm not sure why they rereleased him already.

I don't see too many Wild Bill's here.
I used to see Cobra Commanders, Buzzers, Stalkers and Vipers. Now it's just wave 9 that I see, with Bludd's and Flash.

No bills just a lot of TF Flint and occasionally one wave 9 figure.

Every store has Wild Bill around here, but I think the most I've seen is maybe 8.....a very far cry from the 26 Vipers at one Wal-Mart up here

theres 8 at my walmart...and also 4 cobra python troopers...

you know i was thinking of something, what if you took one of those little hand baskets and filled it up with all the crap pegwarmers so the pegs were empty and then hid it behind the swimming pools or something. Then maybe these stores would restock their shelves with wave 9 and 10

Not likely since the inventory is done by computers. The stockers would scan the peg, the computer would say they have 30 figures or so and they'd go about their business (Maybe they'd try to track down why the computer says they have 30 figures)
Besides, I don't see it being a problem at my wal-marts. Out of two of them, they have massive amounts of peg warmers (Like I said, one of them has 26 Vipers) yet they still get in new cases of figures as well. The new wave 9 cases they've been getting are overflowing on to the Corps! pegs :D

Wild Bill, Viper and most of Wave 7 seem to be fairly ubiquitous at most Wal-marts that I go to.
mister-x
09-28-2008, 06:46 PM
out of the 4 pegs, in my areas walmarts and meijers, they are split up between wild bill, torpedo, bazooka and w9 duke pretty equaly...

09-28-2008, 09:23 PM
I'd say 8-10, mostly Wave 9 but a couple of 25th.
a buddy of mine works for walmart. If there is excess peg warmers on the shelf, He will buy all of them and return to another walmart to free up space to put more product out. So IDK but that could explain some of the excess figures at a single location...

I hope wave 10 will be as plentiful as wave 9 has been.
It should be because Hasbro promised this fall the pegs would be stuffed and so far so good.
I just want to be able to walk into any walmart and see wave 10 hanging there like I do with wave 9. That means the chances of getting the clear wraith are pretty good.
It's good for troop building the bazooka vipers and the parachute viper. Plus, me thinks I want several croc masters for the crocs.

7 is the most at a walmart

Between 5-8.
It's funny though when Wave 7 1st dropped Wild Bill was the HARDEST figure to find of that wave in my area. Then he came repacked in later waves/revisions & now he is a major pegwarmer...

(This forum sucks! Can't set the font size & color & if you use all caps it automatically makes it normal. Where's the fun in THAT????)

I only see 3 or 4 at any one given place, but I see them in EVERY store I go into.
Why he was even issued on a card is beyond me.

I would say about a dozen.

I've seen 6 or 7 of them.

Someone needs to come up with some cool customs using Wild Bill's body so we can clear him out.

I've seen 2 or 3. I got an extra to make a Flightsuit Duke. Just gotta chisel off the buckle and take off a holster.

Honestly the most I have ever seen at any time in my area is 2.
That is nuts some of you guys have seen like 20. I don't think the stores in my neck of the woods has hardly ever had that many Joe's period at one time.
CaptainDinobot
09-29-2008, 11:57 PM
26 of them!!!

there are 13 at the target near me.
honestly no self respecting person wants to buy an action figure of some inbred redneck. and the proof is available every time i go to the store and see about 10 of him warming the pegs.

I think someone on here must have visited my Wal Mart. When I was there last night all of the Wild Bills were on a peg by themselves, only seven though, not the twenty-something some of you guys are seeing.

27 Vipers???
Wow!!
I would actually buy a few of those.
I am one of the few that doesn't mind those horrible arms so long as the Vipers are in action poses with their rifles.

Holy Smokes. Where do you live? Hell? LOL. *just joking* 26 Wild Bills! That's amazing! I have only seen 8 Wild Bills and 8 Spirits peg warming at one time! And that snake eyes must be the wave 7 snakes. Sometimes I think the world would have been better off without Wave 7. LOL.

Probably 8-9 at the Super Wal-Mart down the street from my house. Fred V, you are right, 1 is too many these days. I've got more pilots than aircraft right now as it is.

I put all the WBs on a seperate peg to illustrate this issue at my local Wal-mart. There is an average of about 10 of them. I guess mustache rides are out of style this season.
6 months ago it was Stalker/Buzzer. I wonder why some figures just happen to be poison like this? Do they overkill in the case amount or something?
If they do, they should really do that with troop builders if they must.
