Thanks for the compliment, here's the display with my current figures minus Storm Shadow, the stands kind of disappear once you fill the environment

The post a little while ago showing Gung Ho already on clearance after being on the shelf for a week or so shows how much these food marts care about this product.

I *prefer* to buy in-person, but I buy anywhere and everywhere.

Agreed, at some point these figures will price themselves right out of these places. However, with $200 Legos an isle or two over, it could be quite a while.

The clearance Gung-Ho has already been covered, but I'll add this; a long, long time ago when I HAD a local WalMart, it seemed whenever something military would come in (Joe, Ultimate Soldier, etc), it'd go straight to clearance. I say this because I'd be there one week, nothing. Then a week or two later, they'd have new items already on clearance. Had to be a manager or local corporate person doing it.

And i say well if you guys hadnt taken those self scanners out you wouldnt have to do your job as an employee. Maybe you all should put em back in.

So that's why they did that!! How stupid!
Then to add insult to injury, they left the "scanner" signs up to make you think you found one....
If I don't harass an employee, I go to self-checkout and check the price. If I don't like it, I leave it there.

LoL!
Last year, or the year before, one Target here disconnected all their scanners "because of Covid." Almost thought WM did the same.

Well, at least you're reasonable.

If the pen is still in, take it out first and see if you feel any better. Then go to the drugstore.

Westside Walmart got Spirit, Storm Shadow, and the Cobra Officer. It wasn't overstocked with as much movie figures as the Eastside is. Out of the three the Cobra Officer is my favorite, I like that they got rid of that restrictive overlay. Spirit is second I like the update to his uniform still classic but definitely needed. Storm Shadow is cool but could use more weapons instead of the hood which isn't really necessary. Croc Master looks great, must be someone at hasbro's favorite character this is like the third or fourth version since 2009.
