I decided to take the morning off today and had fully intended to check my local Walmart before heading into work as the brickseek has had this store having 6+ figures for over a week. I checked almost every afternoon this week but nothing showed, so I assumed that they most likely would not be there.
Unfortunately between trying to squeeze in the Mandalorian episode and getting the dog to go out....then the battle to get her back in, I just ran out of time to check this morning. I did stop in after work and sure enough there were 2 Roadblocks and either 3 or 4 Destros but the lone Scarlett was gone. All the cards seemed a bit bent and what is interesting to note about this, is that it is the second set of Wave 2 figures to reach the pegs of this particular store within a week. I am not certain if this is just the second box from the initial shipment or if it is a restock. I picked up a Roadblock to customize. Edit: I just caught up reading on the page....my post here supports what Smokebellow posted about timing....it is all we can do.

I’ve bashed bad WM experiences so I have to praise a good one.
My wife needed to pick something up from a store next town over and on the way back we hit the WM. Finally after 3 tries requesting help a manager showed up. She scanned the tag and confirmed a case arrived 2 days ago. She said they have a ton of pallets in the back and she went to search. A good ten minutes later she returned and said she looked all over and did not spot them. She asked us to give her our phone number and she would get some employees to look in the morning. No Joes but so much nicer to get good help!

Not wanting to come across as an asshole, but you're overthinking it. I know it's defeating to go and come back empty-handed, but it isn't the end of the world either. Sometimes you just gotta keep checking. The timing on this stuff is something you can't crystal ball. You're either right on time, too soon or too late. Nothing you can do about that. When I found my Scarlett, I'd just come from another store where I was a little too late. On the drive to the next store, I caught myself actually getting angry at myself for not getting an earlier start. That's just silly. At that next store I was too early, but I noticed the Hasbro rep, asked her and she brought me out a case. A little early turned into right on time just like that. Point is, if you want it, all you can do is hunt for it.

They are holding them for online orders? More like for cancelled orders. Ha!!! I think you were told another story. Just go and ask for them at the store.

My Wal-Mart put out two more HISS tanks (that's 12 now). Still no AWEs!

It could be they are just too lazy to go get them or most likely there’s so many pallets they just don’t want to fool with it. Personally, if I was told that, I’d speak to a manager. While it is kind of crazy to have to get them from the back, I’m actually hoping to score them that way. Most likely if they hit the floor, Scarlett will be gone. I was in a store yesterday and the pegs were empty. A little farther down the isle there was a trash heap of scattered toys and I noticed the new Black Series Endor Heroes wave. Then I saw a Destro in the pile. I sorted through the entire pile and ended up stacking 3 Destro and 2 RB. No sign of Scarlett. But wait! There’s more. I had an employee scan the $12.93 tags on the shelf. She said, I’m sorry but we don’t have any. Really... What about these 5 down here? It seems that their system was not picking them up by the tag. She scanned the actual Destro UPC and it showed 5 on hand. What in the actual hell??? Thanks a lot Hasbro for choosing this method to get us this product. What a ClusterF**k.

Yeah, their story does not even sound believable.

But then again, even the toy department employees are just as hard to find as the Joes. |

You can add Alabama to the list of Eave 2 sightings. Found Destro and RoadBlock at one Walmart. Scarlett was long gone.

It’s an extreme longshot but since both ladies are one per case, I’ll throw it out there.
I picked up an extra Baroness this morning. I need a Scarlett for an opener. Beat to hell card or loose, doesn’t matter. If anyone finds an extra Scarlett and needs a Baroness, hit me up for a swap.
