So is it still worth checking local Wal-Marts for these waves that have already dropped?
Thanks!

yes, some of my friends are finding the first wave in stores still.

Just got back from Walmart and they had two full pegs of Wave 1. I hope they drop Wave 2 on the pegs soon. Maybe after people clear these out.

Wave 1 cleared out twice here, figures and Hiss Tanks. No AWE Strikers though.

Wave 2 dropped before Wave 1 dropped but with only Destro and Roadblock.

I think Scarlett was there too, but some thieving store employee kept them from hitting the sales floor. I shouldn't say "thieving", but I've noticed my closest store always has stock discrepancies on hot items like that. It'll say it has 1 or 2 in stock, and continue to show that forever, but I'll be damned if they're ever actually there.

Has anyone witnessed any W2 re-stocks at all?

I've seen W1 re-stock about 3 times now at one store. (Terrell Mill WM in Marietta).

Oh I'm sure you're right. My Walmart has several employees that know all about Marvel, Star Wars and GI Joe and figures are hot or not.

Nope.

Its always been a bit of a conundrum as to how I feel about the employees getting first crack and ultimately scalping this stuff. On the one hand, yeah, it sucks. But on the other... man, they work at Wal-Mart. That's not exactly a career or anything, so I get needing to find a side histle to feed the kids or whatever.

In short, yeah, I hate it, but I also get it. First world problems at their finest right there.

My local Walmarts never got wave 1,2 or 3 figures but H.I.S.S. Tanks are well-stocked.

I have a few times, but Scarlett is always long gone. Interesting thing about that, I overheard another customer asking a toy department employee who's always stocking if Scarlett really came one per case. She said, "More like one per every three or four cases..." I didn't get what she meant at the time, but now I think wave 1 and 2 come in under one assortment and it's all the same to the store employees. So if they get in two cases of wave one and one case of wave two, to them it looks like Scarlett is one per every three cases.
