Smoke! You are right my friend. We don?t have a Willie in hand due to Covid related shipping shut downs 4 years ago.

I finally gave up on the Corps. Last November, the Amazon store together with the "last warehouse sale" gave a vibe of truth that The Corps were finally coming to Amazon... fast forward 6 months, of course, there's nothing.
Even Delta 17, which had delays as they said I believe Q4 last year, will be delivering my first 6 figures tomorrow. Delta 17, a line we had no idea of, that came out of nowhere, and by a company that also came out of nowhere. They ARE delivering toys. I think I can see the writing in the wall for the cheap action figure lines. Click n' Play aka World Peacekeepers is almost gone from Amazon and has been for the past 6-8 months or so. They appeared in Ocean State Job Lots buyout store as in Amazon doesn't want them anymore. BBI/Sunny Day Entertainment Elite Force is almost gone as well, and as well has been for the last 6 months or so. The Humvee was on sale for $17 for some time and then gone. And, of course, we all know The Corps has been barely seen anywhere, much less Amazon, since a long time ago. So - for cheap action figure lines, I think the end is near if not already here. The only company still making new cheap action figures and still able to find somewhere is Chap Mei, but even their cool Acid vs Beta line cannot be found anywhere.

yeah i wish i could get acid vs beta without having to hunt it down online. chap mei isnt worth that to me.
also, it's kind of a bummer that it really is the end for final faction. i was hoping that it was just gooners running their mouths in the facebook groups with their death of the line crap; but it really does look like dollar tree just kind of gave up. i dont really have anyone to blame but dollar tree because the people collecting these lines were ravenous and bought up everything - even adjusting the displays and putting product on pegs for the stores. i gave up on lanard before the first jibber jabber about the hong kong toyfair. it was obvious then nothing was coming to the states. |

My local Walmarts clearanced off the adventure force section of cheap 1/18th figures and vehicles as well. Checking online for stock in other stores showed all the 1/18th scale stuff like the Adventure Force Bobcat, trucks, and Jeeps were all out of stock and online only. Even stuff like their cheaper Kid Connection brand action figure playsets have been clearanced and pulled from the shelves with the exception of a dinosaur themed set. Only Adventure Force branded items I saw left in my local stores were nerf type guns and die cast cars. The smaller walmart super centers in my area cut the action figure section down to 1 small aisle with GI Joe, Fortnite, and the 4 inch Spinmaster DC sections completely gone from the shelves. Only the TMNT, Jurassic Park, Star Wars, Marvel Legends, World of Nintendo, Sonic, Wrestling, and 7 inch DC lines were left on the shelf. A lot of it was low on new stock, full on old stock, and overstocked with shelfwarmers. The larger Super center has closed most of its toy section while it renovates. Really hoping the downsizing of the smaller stores sections is also part of some renovation plan. |

Hopefully World Peacekeepers will too. Final Faction, well Dollar Tree is closing stores.

Spin Master brings the fun. Lanard just brings the excuses.
