Having a hell of a time ordering the Nightforce RAM on walmart - one minute it was in my cart, the next it was sold out.

Same happened to me, but it is back in stock right now!!  (Noon Eastern time)

Limit of one, but still available.  If you read this in time....go go go go.

I did it but had several error messages. My CC expiration date is before the shipping date. So I figure out that was the problem. So I used another CC and it works.

Now I have to explain my wife why I made an order on Walmart.ca 😁

Where did you get them from?

A local seller, he orders direct from Hasbro and has a couple of dozen customers he sells directly too.  Both of the figures cost me $40 each, and I am able to pick up locally as he is literally walking distance from my house.  I found him on Kijiji and have been getting all of my figures from him the moment he receives them.  He is a great guy.  I will PM you his contact info if you like.

Sweet!

After moving to Ottawa (well back to Ottawa I went to university here) a couple years ago I was a bit bummed about losing easy access to Toronto dealers.  However DJC Collectibles opened up here and he gets stuff in so quickly that he has a dedicated US customer base.  I have seen some Youtubers mention him as well in their videos because that is where they got their stuff for review.  It is great having someone local to avoid shipping costs.

The VAMP - wow.  I wish I had ordered two.  Clutch is great, the vehicle is fantastic.  All of the accessories make sense and has been fully thought out.  My only complaint are the wheels feel a little wobbly.  So glad there were no stickers to be applied.

Retro Recondo - the card back is perfect, this is the quality I am expecting and is what should have been since day 1.

Big boa - great figure, no issues with the figure.  Was goofy in the 80's and is goofy today, wish the helmet was actually a helmet on not a swappable head.

Also the vamp is heavier than I expected.  It has an incredible solid feel.  Also working suspension!  Rubber tires, working winch, tow hitch (super excited about what will go behind it),  this list of cool stuff goes on and on.   Also next to the RAM, it looks like 1982 all over again!  I have heard the snow cat/thunder machine are expected next, but this really makes me with for the rest of the 82 vehicles - MOBAT, HAL etc.

Got Techno-Viper and 60th Sailor/Diver from Walmart yesterday.  Both look great and I love that the window packaging is back.  Great number of accessories for the Sailor/Diver and I really like the Techno-Viper's holographic display.  Although I do wish it was blue instead of red.  The tubing is going to be an issue over the long term in regards to sticking in the backpack while moving.
