Title: Single Assortment: Wave 6 2008 @ Wal~Mart
Post by: Storm.Shadow on November 06, 2008, 09:21:23 AM
Finally picked up "wave 10" @ Cambridge Wal~Mart.
I do not want to discuss how many Wild Bills I've purchased over the last couple of weeks trying to clear peg space for this wave. :)

The back of the card has Wave 7 2008 figures (Zartan, Scarlett, etc).
I'll try to get some pictures when I get home this evening.

Edit: Updated w/ pictures.

Nothing from that wave, sorry.  :-[

I think there was still:

2x Wild Bill
1x Crimson Guard
1x Flint (Tiger Force)
1x Spirit

...left on the peg.

Are those on American or Canadian Card?

(Edit) the new wave, that is.

I saw the older waves on Canadian, this morning.

Woo hoo!  That's good news.


I don't understand why Walmart will mix in the new waves of single figures with the old ones on the pegs - but they won't do the same with the vehicles.  they have to wait 'til the new ones are gone, first.

Oh, well - at least we're getting some good figures!

That's quite a simple answer.

There are 8 figures in a case. When they see that they are below 4, they probably reorder.

With vehicles, there are 2 to a case - so unless there's only 1 (or none) left, they won't reorder.

That's a good question for the "ask Hasbro" thread. I hope we will, but I don't know. We did get the black headed Destro so I think we will.

Black-headed Destro was on US Card though, wasn't it?  I didn't think they changed the Comic Packs for Bilingualism.

I didn't see him and there were 3 whole cases of Wraiths. the peg was solidly filled too, so I think I may have got there first.

If we aren't getting the variations up here...

well boo.

Looks like I need to take a field trip to Cambridge. Until 2 months ago I used to work out that way. The Zellers there is usually pretty good too.

Still nothing in my area.  I even checked out a Wal-Mart in Dartmouth NS last week and found nothing in terms of wave 10 figures.  Mutt is the only one I want to get for MOC, one to open for display and one to make a lazy bastard custom with Wave 11 Flint.

But I have to think long and hard about buying all Canadian single carded figures.  Too many American single pack waves in a short period of time is the main reason.

I wouldn't worry about picking up a Mutt, yet.  I will give the Wal-Marts in my area another week.

The Walmart in Chatham only had the Para-Viper and a few pegs of the previous wave.

Goderich Walmart had the others (in the first post) along with a few others.  I skipped SE though, really really don't want another one.

Hyde Park Wal-Mart is still loaded with 2 pegs of the last wave.

Hopefully Goderich Wal-mart will restock...

Found most of Wave 6 at Hyde Park Wally this weekend.  Already had TF Duke, but got the rest of the Wave minus Mutt as he was not there.

Wraith, Snakes in Parka still available.

1x Duke (Tiger Force)

(all on Canadian card) as of about 11:00 am this morning.

They also had a couple of older figures.
1x Viper

Wal mart in Welland:  Finally picked up Junkyard/mutt & Croc master - they had the whole set x 2.  The figures seem to be moving off the pegs pretty good here so I hope my chances of getting Zartan (when he comes out) will be good!

2 Fresh Cases of Wave 6 '08 @ Cambridge Wal~Mart as of 8am this morning.

Just leave me a Tiger Force Duke...I forgot that I still need one on a nicer card! :)

Tiger Force Duke was still there as of 930am.  Picked up the Bazooka Trooper. ParaViper, Wraith, and Croc Master.

Went back this morning to pick up a few odds and ends and there sitting on a peg all by himself...was Tiger Force Duke.  Thank you to whom ever left him there. :)

The only thing left from those two cases put out yesterday were the two Arctic Snake Eyes.

All kind of these showing up in Cornwall.  I've gone three times this week and each time, have seen new figure from the wave on the pegs.  Leads me to believe they had quite a few cases in the back - and that people are buying them often enough to warrant putting more out! 

Got pretty much everything I was after, now.  Left Wraith, though...  I just don't know him well enough to care.

Oh, I got one, but I want two - One to keep as is, and one to swap parts with from the original 5 pack cobra commander - as they are the exact same color.

I think that the fact that they cheaped out on the back holster sucked, but otherwise I like the figure. Seems odd though that someone with that many clip pouches doesn't have a gun that can use the ammo.

Post by: Stealth Viper on November 30, 2008, 04:32:17 PM
Found a few fresh cases yesterday, although someone had scooped all the bazooka troopers already

Picked up Paraviper, Mutt and Wraith.

TF Duke did nothing for me, neither did croc master - so I passed on those

Possibly might pick up a few more paravipers. They are pretty awesome. Will have to make a decision on the bazooka trooper if/when I see one.

When it rains, it pours.

Saw these again at the other Walmart in the area today, including the Bazooka trooper. I left him there - the spider web helmet pattern does nothing for me, and other than that he's just another version of the cobra trooper mold. Pass.

I passed through Woodstock on my way home from the states. They had sooooo many single packs! Lots of those were Arctic Snake Eyes but they had a bunch of other stuff too. Several Bats, Bazooka, Barbeque, and I can't remember all the rest. But they had them all over the place. You kinda have to look around.

WOW!  I was actually worried that they might start to peg warm.  When I was there this morning they had two cases worth in the usual spot and then then another full peg over in the middle of the aisle.

I just looked at the usual spot and didn't notice the figures in the middle of the aisle.  It looked as though they re-stocked everything in the toy aisle so maybe they blended in and I did not notice them.  I will have to go back tonight and double check.

Army builders - get thee to Guelph Walmart. I fished out my catch limit of 3 EELS there, but left on the shelves were at least half a dozen eels, and every second figure was a BAT, Bazooka Trooper, Flint ICD, or paraviper.

They had 4 pegs and a whole pile just lying there, spread hither and yon throughout the aisle. Lousy retail display, if I hadn't been there for another reason entirely I would have refaced the aisle.   

Plus I got the dishwasher soap I went for, so my whole family wins.  ;D

Just a bump to correspond with the store's seasonal sprucing up. At one of mine that has been stripped of all but two lame Glenda's since mid-December, the beautiful 86 Hawk popped up. My guess is that most stores will be finding "stashed" carded Joes as they clean up, I can't say it'll be very exciting but there is a chance someone had stashed some good shiz before they re-organized the aisles.

Hello,

My local walmart as of Christmas sold out of all 25th figures and over stocked on the two non selling vehicles (hiss and serpantor packs). Not sure if anyone else has noticed this at there walmarts but mine has completly replaced the 25th figures with combat heroes. They have about 8 pegs of them and the 25th stickers and pegs have been removed or stickered over. Hope this isn't a sign of things to come as I personally have no intrest in combat heroes.

Regards

I caught that in the other thread - We'll read both so you don't need identical posts in 2 threads. ;-)

That said, it's a very bad sign. I sincerely think that the resolute wave is going to pass us by, which is unfortunate.

So I'd say it's a good bet we won't see any of the other vehicles either. That's a pain. Oh well, in these tough economic times, it's probably for the best.

Post by: Kronz on January 13, 2009, 06:30:42 AM
tough times or not, I want more Joes at retail!

Seriously though, Wal-mart isn't restocking Joes at all here in London either. Lots of HISS and Serpentor/Steeler sets, and left over Glenda, Bazooka and Barbecue seems to be the norm, if there's anything. That said, comic shops here in London haven't even got the next wave yet, so I am not too worried. If I have to import Torch and Blowtorch, I'll live. I'd have grabbed the Resolute figs at retail but don't care enough to import them.
