I would be willing to pay a little more for a figure and the line continue as a pulse exclusive or something like that. |

I found a box of figures on a palette today. Picked up a SS and SE. I put the rest on the pegs. I cancelled my pre-orders. I received two of the HISS and AWE so don't need anything else. Keeping my wave 2 pre-orders.
Here's some data on how brickseek seems to be working. -Last night there was no availability of the wave 1 figure set at the nearest Walmart. -Today it changed to In Stock 6+ -I was able to head over there at 4pm. There was nothing on the shelves. I looked over the palettes. On the second pass I spotted the tiny figure box that holds the six wave 1 figures. I was pretty stoked. -I car keyed it open, took a storm shadow and snake eyes and put the rest on the pegs. There was no hesitation about grabbing it off the palette. -At 7pm when I checked brickseek again the same store listed out of stock. I hope some other collector(s) was happy with their find. So I'm thinking if it says out of stock then there are no figures on the floor. They might have some in the back though. Once a palette with the items/box hits the floor it updates to In Stock 6+. But this box is tiny! I went to another store that said 6+ and they had palettes but I think the joe box was just buried in one of them and out of sight (not hidden somewhere by unscrupulous employees). The one I found today was located in the inner part of the palette so when packed it'd be hidden from view by larger boxes. So if it says 6+ check the palettes or other places a full box might be sitting to be unpacked. If it's less than 6 you'll probably find the figures on the pegs or somewhere out of the box. I hope this info helps in someway. I really hope the line continues. It's been frustrating to get these figures but I must admit I'm having fun reading all the posts and seeing other people find what they're looking for. The pics of stocked pegs and boxes of HISS tanks are cool to see. Since it's been mostly dry around here I've bought a bunch of old stuff (that I never had as a kid) off ebay in anticipation of more waves of figures. I do hope we eventually get to bigger vehicles like the tomahawk and rattler. Never had a rattler as a kid but I'd love to own a brand new one in the retro packaging. (pic below shows the box to look for and other stuff around it for scale. I think others have posted images of it but figured this couldn't hurt)

After monitoring Brickseek, I noticed that both Walmarts in town changed to 6+ for the retro figures last night. Headed over to the nearest store about 20 mins after they opened. Noticed that there were several pallets in the toy section and no Joes on the shelf. Took a look at the action figure pallet and there was a case of figures sitting right on top. I grabbed it, not knowing if it was Wave 1 or 2 (I already have wave 2) and went to the pegs and used the car keys to open it. Yay! Wave 1. I already found Snake Eyes last week, so I grabbed Baroness and then a Storm Shadow to replace the trashed one Walmart sent me. I put the rest of the case on the pegs and kept the box.
So now I have everything from Wave 1 & 2 except for the FANG. Lucky to have multiple HISS and AWE Strikers. I have been canceling my preorders with Walmart as I find things but I think I will leave my order for Baroness and Scarlett open in case I decide to open the ones I have. ETA: The cardstock on these is fine, so I’m wondering if those initial shipper displays had inferior quality? Last edited by Jase; 10-18-2020 at 10:12 AM.. |

(pic below shows the box to look for and other stuff around it for scale.

Upon opening the Baroness figure, I felt a sense of achievement finding her, but couldn't help the feeling that all this trouble was for a figure which was so hauntingly familiar. Don't get me wrong the new paint app is great, but I have this figure. It may not have been worth the effort to find her. My end of the earth just seems to be slow too get items. Hopefully wave 2 will not be too challenging to collect.

Where are the brick seek links? Went back about 7 pages but didn’t see them.

Brickseek, Walmart and this line. Ugh.
Hit 2 Walmarts today. The first has said 6+ for over a week. Shelves empty. Asked an associate. "The website is wrong and doesn't match the store". Ok then. Second Walmart was 6+ last night. Changed to 3-4 this morning. Went immediately hoping for at least scraps and found the same emptiness. Retro is apparently a myth here in the east Phoenix burbs. |
