It's across from Century Plaza, there used to be a Big Lots in that shopping center.....they had a whole set of Wave 10, Crock Master and regular Wraith are hanging on a peg by the checkout, the rest were strewn about in the toy section.

Checked both TJ Maxx/Marshalls, and 3 Family Dollars. TJ Maxx, and Marshals have restocked comic packs, and single figures. However, I didn't see any variant Wraiths.
No Resolute wave figures at Family Dollar, but the manager at one of the stores told me to check back on Sunday. Apparently their toys come in huge boxes, and they have no idea what's in them until they dig it all out. Let me add something that just pisses me off to no end. Why is it that I can go into Family Dollar (!!!!) and get excellent/friendly service, but Walmart (on University) is nothing but a load of crap? It's not like these Family Dollars (yes, plural) are in good areas of the city either, and yet they always say "hi" and ask if they can help me in a sincere way. Target always have friendly workers too. Sorry about the rant, but I just really, really, really hate Walmart. EDIT: Oh, Target dropped RoC figures to $0.88 here in Huntsville.

I have noticed that some people at WM have been nicer since the economy went down, like they were trying extra hard to be helpful and dutiful because they were happy to be working.
...except stockers and toys dept people. The toy dept in Trussville is terrible. Late on resets or setting new merch, never restock, only one partially deaf woman ever works there and is not helpful at all. I remember going there in 2008 because of the SW CW reset and had been told that Joes were being stocked too. I went early Saturday morning expecting the BAT wave and first vehicle wave to hit, only to show up and they HAD NOT EVEN SET OUT THE SW STUFF. I hate WM. At least that WM. The one in Roebuck generally has more and newer merch, and restock more often.

Let me tell you guys about my day...and the fact that my son may be a lucky charm.
First..his Iron Man 2 Whiplash arrived 2 days before the scheduled time so he has it to play with on his way to Daytona and for the rest of the summer. The seller even sent a Fusion Armor Iron Man as a bonus for paying quickly with Paypal. HOW COOL IS THAT!!!!! Second we decided to hit Toys R Us this morning since I spoent the night in Gardendale. Got off the exit on 65 too soon and had to drive through Hovoer and discovered a TJ Maxx I have neever been in. Jared and I decided to venture in and guess what we found: Not one..but TWO clear blue Wraith plus one regular Wraith. Picked them both up (one for Jared, one for another Tanker..since Ed Haskel had already found me one) plus the regular. Kind of pissed another guy out that was walking in behind me but found out it was most likely Dan Davis. Speaking of which...met his wife (the other half of the dynamic douchebags) at Toys R Us. Kind of annoyed her as when she would pick up something (liKe Assasin's Creed figure or Dante's Inferno figure) I would pick upt he two behind it and Jared and I would exclaim: "EWWWW!!!! THE CHASE FIGURE!!! I FOUND IT!!!" She got a little upset and asked if we were going to purchase them and said: "Yes....why wouldn't I?" Truth is..none of those were chases and but it was great to torment her...making her think that somebody had gotten soemthing ahead of her. I waited till she was gone and then hid the figures I had picked up so she thought I bought them. We went over to the OVER-PRICED GALLERIA TOY STORE and they had more of nothing and went back and put the figures back out onthe pegs at TRU...and Jared got him a Iron Man 2 Black widow and Rhodey minimate pack and I got the Dante's Inferno figure (great game..I had to have the fig....now somebody needs to do John Marston from Red Dead Redemption). Good day and I am glad my son got a few things he wanted. I guess the only thing left for this summer is the SDCC 2010 WWII Ultimate Captain America. |

I wanted to ask if any of you guys have seen the Lego minifigures showing up anywhere other than TRU? My brother is wanting two cheerleaders and two nurses for his daughters, and I can't seem to find them anywhere. Grats Cray, and that's awesome you tormented Mrs. Dan The Scalper. I've checked every Marshall's/TJ Maxx/Ross ever since wave 9 has been showing up, and I still can't find that blue Wraith. Last edited by Brcall; 06-18-2010 at 04:06 PM.. |

The Walmart in Athens is pretty good.I agree with you about the Univserity drive Walmart.The problem is that Walmart gets hit pretty hard by collectors.You Hotwheels guys and so on.I have only seen the basic wraith at Family Dollar.No Resolute yet.

What makes the University Dr Walmart unbearable is the employees' attitudes. I mean Target is just across the street, and they manage to get really good associates there. I bet it's the manager at WM that makes those people so surly.

Well we know TRU is not helpful at all.
I like Target but never really ask for help from toy folk there. And WM downright refuses to help with toys. So, come POC, I will be hitting Target, Roebuck and Eastwood WM, and maybe Gardendale and Fultondale.
