I walk into WalMart today - and the pegs are overflowing with figures. Being only a couple days after black Friday, I would have expected the shelves to be empty. Not the case... not at all. It was absolutely stuffed with everything to date. I counted 8 CS Snake Eyes before I stopped. Funny thing is - there was not a SINGLE Kamakura. I still haven't seen the figure.
Anyone else experience this? The Star Wars and Transformers sections seemed pretty bare - but the Joe section was fully loaded. Maybe they just restocked and I was there at a lucky time... |

Many of the stores here are fully stocked. It doesn't seem like anything had sold out. It may be do to restocking though.

Mine is half empty, I'm betting it was just restocked. I've been to 6 different WM in the past few days and I had to get help to find my CS SE

Pegs around here are still heavily flowing with waves 1-3. Not much moved at all. I've seen a handful of Agent Helix finally, no Pit Commandos yet, no white coat Rex, but a couple of Night Adders and Black/Red Paravipers have shown up. If you have a bunch of extra CS Snake Eyes, you should hook a brother up...

I haven't seen Kamakura or CS Dukes yet though they've had the rest of this wave in my local WM. They also had about 6 PP SEs (w/ grey Timber) the other day when I found my one CS SE.

walmart near me has been able to thin the selves pretty well. On the main self it's mainly just neo vipers left. On the center display you can still find a good bit of named characters.
The City strike snake-eyes is hard to find as he goes quickly

Hasbro sent the WM stores here quite a few Wave 5 and Wave 5 Rev 1 (after months of only Wave 1-3), so CS SE went from must find to easy as pie very quickly. I'm sure many other areas got the same treatment. The only way we've seen anything from Wave 4 are the inclusions in the Wave 5 Rev 1 (Black Night Adder, Red Fang, and Charbroil) or you got lucky at Walgreens.
Now the local Targets are starting to get restock after months of Wave 1-3 in August and then nothing... it's Wave 5 Rev 1. Hasbro, get off your duff and get a Revision case with Kamakura, Nano-Viper, and the White coat Rex out there for the many areas that didn't get to see those figures the first time. I have a Blue Night Adder and a White Rex from Walgreens. Wasn't happy about the price, but it was a very random (and lucky) find when most of the local Walgreens only carry at most 3 Joe figures.

I was looking through a somewhat full endcap at a walmart today and there wasn't a Snake Eyes of ANY kind there. Christmas is coming and parents know who their kid's favorite is. And another good sign is at TRU today, the figure pegs were about empty, and the only vehicle on the shelf was one Rock Slide. All the others were gone as well as the Night Ravens.
