Just curious, anyone here on the board have friends who stock at Walmart? I'm curious on when which days they receive shipments specifically for toys.
Thanks. | Most WM SuperCenters get trucks everynight to unload unless they are considered low volume stores.Most of the Dallas area stores,for example, should get freight everynight.All the WM's in East Texas to West Dallas I check all show them on AD(assembly) order which means in takes from 1-2 weeks ,sometimes longer if it's a popular or HTF item and it sells so fast they dont have time to replenish it's stock because the item is not in their normal wharehouse,but comes from a 2nd source,then to their wharehouse to distribute to all the stores that carry them.I guareentee you they will be in every store than carries them on the modular(layout) throughout this week.
How do I know..not only do I still have some friends but I was a WM manager for 12 years ;)
Hope this helps you all.the figures are great and I can't wait to get more Soldiers and a few BH's to open. GOOD LUCK !!

I scored an average of 2-3 cases per every WalMart that carries them.I also left many but sorry there won't be many soldiers(army building).I hit almost every East Texas store from Lidale ,Tx to Marshall,Tx and in between.
ONLY THING THAT MAKES ME MAD IS ALMOST EVERY CASE HAD BEEN CRUSHED AND MOST HAD MANY DAMAGED FIGURES!

| | Toy Addict Join Date: Aug 2002 Location: Bryan, TX Posts: 147 | Wave 2 Figures are hitting the Bryan College Station area in force. The College Station regular Walmart got 2 wave 2 cases in last weekend. Yesterday at the College Station Target I got a full set of wave 2 single figures (cards were in better shape than at Walmart). I then hit the Bryan Super Walmart where I got the Cobra Legions 5pack (the new one)! They only had 2 and I got one for me and a friend. The Bryan Super Walmart also got in 2 cases of the single carded wave 2, I picked up another set of wave 2 for a friend, leaving one full set.
Happy Hunting everyone!

| | Cobra Soldier Join Date: Sep 2007 Posts: 39 | I found wave 2 and 3 at Target in New Hampshire, bought everyone of them. I'm still going to go check various other stores and will let everyone know. Also, Outback are you from Mass, if so let me know I have a goldmine for you...( :
On a side note guys, BBTS has wave 4 up for presale at a very reasonable price. I know someone mentioned it already but I thought I would remind you all. I picked up 4 Cobra Commanders, 4 Destro's, and 7 Storm Shadows for now. I suggest you get on over there for a good deal, but all the Air Troopers are gone ): oh well.
Also, im not a scalper just a hardcore collector | |
