Despite Hasbro's claim on the increased of production or distribution, I still see a shortage of the 25th carded figures. This is after going to eight different Walmarts on a weekly basis.
That said, I've decided to voice my concern at one of the eight Walmarts. Still, I get the same or similar response: "We placed our order in on a regular basis." For example, we placed anywhere from 32-64 pieces and that doesn't mean all will arrive. At times, only 16 or so out of 64 pieces will arrive." And that is when I was informed that one can make a special order. However, they can not be singly picked or canceled. The entire case of 8 figures has to be purchased! However, Walmart CAN NOT distinguished which wave is which. So you better do your research and request for the appropriate wave you want. Well, I thought it was a good idea as it would still be cheaper from online retailers and ya don't have to pay for shipping. For the local San Diegians, this Walmart is on Clairemont off the 805 Hwy.

Yep, but I seriously doubt it.

More than likely, the Walmart management is simply accepting additional orders for their normal orders.
I would not view this as a nationwide deal, and more importantly, not a reliable way to get new figures as my local Walmart got a case of wave 3 08 last week (the last 25th labeled assortment with Spirit and the Hiss Driver).

The increased distribution has shown in my area. Over the weekend, WM got their second shipment of wave 9 and I checked 3 out the 6 WM's(didn't need to check the other 3 stores as I found everything I needed) and they had at least 3 cases on the pegs and this was after they had heavily restocked wave 7 the day before. Last week, Target was hit hard with wave 9, at least 3 cases at all 4 stores. And TRU even got in 3 cases of wave 9 as well. And of course plenty of DVD packs, vehicles, and comic packs too.
