If anyone going to the meet in April comes across Flash and can pick one up for me on the Canadian card you would be doing me a favor. I'm not looking to buy one at marked up prices but I'll pay retail prices. I'm just looking for a little help as I haven't seen any yet in the 4 Walmarts near me.

Thanks.

Well it's been roughly 3 weeks since a single case was sent to what seems to be select Wal~Mart stores and while they all have pegs up, they're always empty.  I just don't get it.  Perhaps this was just a trail run to see if they would sell (an explanation for the lazy cards).  Well they've sold, all it takes is a single collector to find them, now when do we get more? 

If they're following the TRU model than I guess we can expect more in about 3 months time.  By then we should be up to Wave 8 and most of the 25th anniversary line will have come and gone.  And if Sigma 6 is any indication, they'll order a billion cases of the same wave and it will never sell through.....sigh...

I had to go to 3 different Wal-marts (and I hate walmart) to find a complete set.
Pain in the ass - and they have not been restocked.
As for the comic packs - I have been to a couple of Zellers but nothing.

What Walmarts have you guys been to? I don't want to waste my time going to any walmarts that have been already cleaned out/ never received stock.

I was at the one in Georgetown and Brampton
As well I checked square one.
I just happened to be at the doctors in Brampton and stopped as I already had the morning off of work. I found a complete set - and left another complete set on the shelves.

Cambridge Wal~Mart is still empty.  They have a peg up but I don't know if they ever got any in.

Was in my Wal-Mart in Goderich today and they still have one Crimson Guard, cause I bought the other to take apart, and one Shipwreck still left.  The one in Chatham had a Cobra Commander and Crimson Guard when I was there on the weekend.

LT Storm - If you have the chance, can you get me the CG and Shipwreck from the Goderick WM/  I can try and get the Hawk/Scarlett pack from Zellers if you'd like.

So far I have personally check the two in Kitchener, one in Guelph, one in Cambridge, one in Oakville (yesterday) and one in Milton. Some of those places I've checked more than once.

I have yet to see any of these in person.
