hey SLG i hit walmart around 8:20 tonight and there was nothing...not even a variant duke(lol). A few days back I hid what they had left of the single figures. 2 air troopers(whom were growing moldy) and a road block. I only did this because they were there 4ever and i wanted filthy walmart to order more. if you are looking for those figs let me know. i never do that unless the guys are not moving for a few weeks.
Nothing of wave 8 in exton PA (target,kmart,walmart,kb,tru) K.O.P tru had zerowave 8. Devon and west chester kmarts had no wave 8 either. If you are looking for other figures in this area let me know and I will tell you who is where....mostly serpentors,buzzers,hooded commanders and SE wave 8.....don't forget that GIANT supermarkets carry them. 6.99 exton has the original duke(non variant) a little dinged up. well that's all the recon i could do today. getting discouraged. |

I'm pretty sure that Wal-Mart places orders based upon the number of figures sold as shown in their computer system. I doubt hiding them will do much good. No figures on the shelves could, conceivably, convince sales "associates" to put more figures out that are in stock, but you would think that they would do that when there were only 3 left, anyway.

Hey Croc, I will keep an eye you for you also if I find anything. The only figs I am missing (beside wave 8) are battle armor cc and torpedo. I had no idea that Giant sold them.

Yeah they do keep track with computers but they also take into consideration theft. and yeah I'm just getting desperate 'cause i think people are getting them before they ever hit the shelves. plus i'm pretty anti walmart with the exception of 25th anniversary. I think it would be hysterical if roadblock stayed hidden for 2 years then made an appearance. gotta get some kind of thrill for my gas money. only at walmart

Yeah, I don't like wal mart but, I check there from time to time. I have only ever got one fig from there (viper). The 2 air troopers were there for ever. I seem to have the best luck at the target in Exton and the K-mart in west chester. My wife has fond a few that I needed at the KB in the Exton mall.

Found wave 8 at wal-mart tonight in Western PA. I paid 5.99 each I had them price match k-mart (all the k-marts near me are still 5.99)
I was surprised that I actually really liked Cobra Commander the blue is a little darker then wave 4 and in my opinion it looks better and the stripe on the helmet looks good too just wish he had the triangle on his belt buckle like the TRU exclusive. All the figures are great except the Baroness she is just ok IMHO. Last edited by Commando; 05-23-2008 at 02:59 AM.. |

got these for my son at the St. Clairsville, Ohio Walmart. They were a extra surprise for him on his birthday. A minute after this pic was taken Flint and Roadblock successfully defended the kitchen from Major Bludd, the Baroness, and Python Patrol Officer.
