I have only found 1 SS at WM. I did pre-order the figures too, but I ended up getting my SS's from eBay as the mark-up wasn't that much. I ended up cancelling my figure pre-orders. I still want a Baroness or 2 , but I'll try my luck in the stores. Hopefully she will be peg warming by x-mas.

One thing that sucks about trying to find these at Walmarts, is that going "Walmart hopping" isn't the same as hitting up multiple Ross-for-less's, or Five belows, or Tuesday Mornings, or Burlington Coat Factories. The Walmart parking lot, is a serious pain in the ass to get in and out of. It's always packed, full of confused slow drivers. You often have to park way in the back, so it's a long walk just to get to the entrance. The toy section is often in the back, so you have to fight the crowds just to get to it. I can hit 5-8 Ross-for-Less locations in the same amount of time it would take me to hit just 3 Walmarts. Not to mention that a lot of people aren't wearing masks at these southern Walmarts. What a bummer.

Walmart just canceled my order for Storm Shadow (placed within minutes of the preorder going live) "due to high demand." I fully expect Snake Eyes and Baroness to follow suit.
They are clearly prioritizing sending these figures to stores even if it means screwing over their online customers. |

I got a cancel on storm shadow too. I’m thinking I had gotten a delay on the other two for 12/1 and a delay on storm shadow for 10/6, which could make me think the storm shadow was more likely to show.

This really is unfortunate that Walmart is treating pre-order folks so poorly. I haven't received the cancel email yet for mine, but I know it's just a matter of time. The other thing that frustrates me is I really wasn't too hard pressed to get the retro figures, since I much prefer the 6 inch line now, but at the same time I still want them, so now I'll probably be forced to pay more than I ever really wanted to for these figures on the secondary market.

What's really perplexing is that this comes on the heels of Walmart launching Walmart+, a big part of which is trying to push customers to shop online. Yet they then immediately demonstrate that they have no idea how to handle online shopping by screwing over their online customers like this.

I suspect I'll get the dreaded cancelled email tomorrow as my first Baroness and SS are both scheduled to arrive then.
Walmart clearly has no clue yet how to handle toy collectible pre-orders. |
