I have one mint carded. I’m seeking two more, one as a stock opener and one to customize. If I find what I need at retail and my online orders actually fill, I plan on hooking Tankers up with those two. So keep looking but rest assured that you may be able to find help here. I know I could ebay them for probably $30 but I would rather hook up fellow collectors. I just don’t believe in scalping. Trading is totally fair game but scalping I frown upon. With that being said, I’ll buy every Scarlett I see. I just don’t foresee that being very many thanks to Hasbro’s failure of short packing her.

THIS pretty well covers ALL G.I.Joe releases this year, retro and classified.

My (not so) local WM has most of their toys behind glass. So to buy something, heck, to LOOK at something, you have to find an employee *with* a key. One time I asked THREE employees before I could get into a case. Actually found a stack of HISS tanks last week. Before that, all I'd found was ONE SE, which is still the only figure I've seen in a store.

Well I found 1/2 of wave 2 today.
There was 1 Roadblock & 3 Destros. Plus 3 HISS Tanks. BRICKSEEK IS WORTHLESS Since I was feeling lucky I decided to check the other 2 Walmarts on my way. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

Yes.
If you've ever been to an antique/collectable mall, the isles are just like that. Action figures, Lego and Playmobil are fully encased with locks. There are buttons to "push for assistance" that NEVER work. EVER. I haven't asked, but I think it's because it is a bad area. Most times they won't even let you carry what you want. You reach in and pick an item, the employee closes the case and takes the item to a certain register for you to buy, even if you're ready to go. A couple times they wouldn't even let me reach in, THEY pulled out the item, and I didn't actually touch it until after I checked out.

I’ve never seen anything on the toy isle locked up in any WM store either.

We have a store called the antique mall located down the street from where I live and it's just as he's describing it. Glass cases that are locked that you have to push a button that will bring a worker to you. But I've NEVER seen such a thing at a wal mart.

Had to search but I knew I took a pic when I first saw it out of amazement. This is the Albany, NY WM, biggest store in the chain. 2 floors, special escalator for carts. Used to be a Sams Club. This pic was when they first installed it, enclosing ALL of the Lego product. The have since dropped it down to about 2/3 of this size. My daughter and I have also seen that the "LOL Dolls" are also locked up lol
