Spotted today in Appleton, WI. Picked up two Snow Serpents (left at least one for the next guy). This was nowhere near the Joes or even the boys toys. I don't recall exactly, but it was somewhere near Toddler toys or maybe even as far away as the girls toy aisle. I think there are 3-4 of each figure (Snow Serpent, Snow Job, Snake Eyes/Timber, Flint, Storm Shadow, Firefly, Beachhead, Stalker). Also, the figures were somewhat messed up. I found Snow Jobs and Snow Serpents intermingled in each of the rows.

and i didnt have the figures a year ago...they didnt hit ANYWHERE in the capital region (of NY) till Dec. and even then, they were the 5 packs only and they were few and far between.
Dont get me wrong, Ive enjoyed having them, but i watched personally a Walmart toy manager come ovver, scan the tag, and DOUBLE the order....every time I saw her after that, she told me the same thing.."they keep shorting there order" sending in a case at a time, then once the wave was out for a while THEN the back order would be filled... as of right now Ive NEVER seen so many pegs full...is it a coincidence that they are all revisions, at every store? She told me that the truck comes in on a thurs and they are stocked by Fri morn...wouldnt it be nice to see new figs instead of the same old ones? Hell yeah... |

I hit one WM yesterday and they put the fig's on the pegs with the other Joe figures and today, I hit a different WM and they had them set up on a side cap by the toy car aisle, almost missed them.

Here in New Castle, IN my local WM had them. They didn't bother with the display, just put the figs out with the other Joe stuff.

I pray everyday that this thing shows up at one of my Wal-Marts. LOL. I have a funny feeling that November is going to be the month that my prayers are finally answered though. *crosses fingers* LOL.

I found all the figures from the display today, but they were on the regular pegs, in the aisle. I picked up 2 Snow Serpents. It seems the Walmart I went to decided not to use the display and stocked the figures from the display to the regular aisle...
