POC at Walmart
« on: January 13, 2012, 12:56:02 PM »

Saw this morning at Walmart (Eglinton/Pharmacy) a case of wave??  The one with Blowtorch (regular colours don't get excited), Cobra Trooper, Steel Brigade, Jungle Bat, Hawk, CC.  Not in the system so I don't know what price they were, but at least there is something.  Too bad it is such an old wave.  Oh well.

Cambridge Wal~Mart had some of the same wave.  The new layouts also showed 2 pegs of singles as well as some flex space for GI JOE (I assume move product when it hits.)

No price on the figures.

So far from what I have read it is only Square One and an unconfirmed report from another west end Walmart. 

It could mean a delay it the release to other Walmarts, or as in years past with other "super" deals (Armada/Energon Omega Supreme, SW AT-TE) it may be regulated to a specific 1-2 Walmarts.

I want to know what the cost is for the figures. I'm curious to know if they are doing a clear out of stock before the movie stuff. I think with the New York Toy Fair being a month away Hasbro wants to clear out of everything.

I think the prices are $7.92....that's the price I saw them at on the pegs...but I could be wrong. I didn't bother to verify that they were actually placed on the correct pegs...with the over abundance of wave 5 that we received...there was no interest to look through them.

Confirmed this today. You are corrct sir. $7.92 per figure. I saw the pegs, but they hadn't moved out the stock yet.

arg have to have the will power not to buy more on impulse, it makes it easy though since this wave is over saturated to absurdity...Even hardcore army builders can't make a dent anymore.

I'll make a dent if they go the way of Captain America figures at Walmart.  ;)

I know I made quite a few Cap figures disappear for $2.  I'm waiting for the Thor figures to hit $2 as well.
