Our walmart still hasn't put out the battle stations I KNOW they have in the back (( as I was able to get one emploee to slip me one, but not the others)) But they DID get in about 20 of those SS and SE dojo packs.
I picked one up to show my wife.. and this is a direct quote "The FUCK is THAT? Ugg. Those paint jobs look so stupid! Is Stormshadow in pajamas? How much is that thing? TWENTY DOLLARS? Put that down. I'm not buying that!"

I'm not buying that!" Does your Wal-Mart not drag everything out of the stock room on pallets every night even if they don't put the stuff out? Ours does this every night, pretty much. They have seven (counted 'em, seven) pallets stacked high with cases of toys but no battle stations. I did score a Wolverine Origins Colossus, though. Not bad, not bad at all. I usually hate the Hasbro Marvels but my only complaint with this one is he has no neck, and that's minor.

Nope. Apparently our walmart is weird. I read on here all the time guys going "Ok that's too much but I'll wait a few weeks and they'll discount it"
our walmart never discounts anything, except like 'junk toys' Stuff like cheepo water pistols or baby golf clubs or crappy remote control cars or stuff. I've never seen a GI joe item discounted in 7 years here. They have had the battle stations in the back room for a month now, I found One on the shelf and asked for the Outpost defender. they took the heetseek back and brought me the Outpost Defender, but said they couldn't put the others out with out a shelf spot for it. Now the other guys say they can't check the back room with out a UPC... which... I don't happen to have tattooed to my ass so I don't know what the UPC IS...... and just walk off shrugging when I ask.

Yeah. I still have the box for my OD. I might write it down, but I get the impression it's more the ladder. The guys that just don't care and don't want to be bothered by the 30 year old looking for toys.

I actually told her that. "Oh the guys online buy them for the set and the weapons"

Somebody will buy them for fodder if you sell them for cheap (say 6 bucks the two). You'll be getting the set by 14, and that's a really good deal.

Naa what she meant was, that she'd go on Ebay and buy me the LAW or the Surveillance post for $20 than pay $20 for the SS/SE POS Set.
