I just got back from a Walmart Grand Opening, yes the 4th walmart by my house is now open.  I was so excited to see a fully stocked GI Joe section for the first time but... they only put out one case of PoC figs... WTF?! so I bought the AV,FF and CC no I enough.. the rest are yours... The Walmart is located at 407 and Donald Cousins Parkway so I'm sure they will ahve more cases in the stock room so check it out to get your hard to get figs...

The fabeled stock room is a bit of a myth conception at Wal Mart as there isn't that much toy stock in the back room and in my experiences absolutley ZERO when it comes to Joe merch. What they have on shelves is usually what they have. Unless it's Transformers stuff, they always have TONS of that back there for some reason.

I am still looking for a Piece of Crap Cobra Commander.  Looks like I have to go back to my old stomping grounds to find it.

Yes, I am interested in one.  What are you looking for it in return?

Well, I have seen and reported on restocks taking place, and have seen COBRA Commanders popping up.
I have two ( one opened and one MOC for the novelty of it), and have seen others on the pegs.
The big seller appears to be the Alley Viper, with Duke, Firefly, Storm Shadow and Beachhead selling slower. The others are moving at a nice pace, it seems--though Doom cycles and Ghost Hawks are not moving fast.

Smaller centres,  like those in my province of Saskatchewan are easier locales to find these in. Obviously, the more population around you the harder they will be to score the more popular ones.
If you can, hit some of the outlying places around you.....if you are travelling. Keep trying.

Another item selling fast is the Snowcat, they seem to fly off shelves while the Hiss just lingers there.

Since I hit 3 to 4 Walmarts a day, I would say the list would go like this:

Alley-Viper, Firefly, Cobra Commander, Snowjob, Beachhead, Snake Eyes... Duke and Stormy are the peg warmers
