Title: Wave 5 2008 Found @ Wal~Mart
Post by: Storm.Shadow on July 15, 2008, 12:47:18 PM: Just a note that these were on US cards. Probably a stop gap while they wait for the International cards to arrive from over seas.
The price remains @ $7.92 and as usual....it was only a single case. (Hasbro/Retailers, please stop sending only one case at a time.....it's ridiculous.)

Post by: Canuklehead on July 15, 2008, 06:46:02 PM: Nothing in my neck of the woods... will be going to Ottawa on Friday, so we'll see there, then.

Was this at a Walmart Supercentre or was this just a plain-jane Walmart?

Post by: Storm.Shadow on August 05, 2008, 12:34:21 PM: Anyone have any good information on when we'll see a refresh of this wave on International cards?
The press images were released on July 9th so I'd guess in the next couple of weeks, but I thought someone might actually know for sure *cough* *cough* Mr. Connected.

International carded versions of this wave won't likely start showing up until the middle of this month.

Walmart Guelph just did the same, and have actual peg tags now. About [s:10ye52oh]10[/s:10ye52oh] 9 hiss tanks, and about 6 armadillos. 2 full racks of wave 5.

Excellent. Things really do seem to be picking up over the last week or two. I'm actually seeing figures last longer than a few hours!

Post by: Bandalero on September 05, 2008, 01:09:31 PM: I'm going to stop off at Wal*Mart after work today and will once again prepare myself to be disappointed...yup that's what I gotta do, its a consperacy north of the GTA i tell ya!
Title: Re: Wave 5 2008 Found @ Wal~Mart
Post by: Canuklehead on September 05, 2008, 03:32:38 PM: The Walmart here had tags out on the pegs for the longest time. Now, they finally have some Joes out on a pretty regular basis.

Post by: Storm.Shadow on December 07, 2008, 08:36:30 AM: Cambridge Wal~Mart restocked this morning (they've almost sold through all the Wave 6 08 they put out a few days ago) with a case of Wave 5 Revision 2 '08 (GIJ SINGLE PACK ASST WV5 R2 08). That's the case with Flash and Major Bludd.

Post by: Deadshot on December 07, 2008, 02:04:44 PM: The Wal*Mart in Woodstock has a crap ton of figures at the moment, I think 4 racks overloaded.
Title: Re: Wave 5 2008 Found @ Wal~Mart
Post by: Raptor on December 08, 2008, 10:36:47 AM: The Geulph Walmart pegs are full, and about every third figure is a BAT. No, I'm not kidding. I've bought my 3, and I'm done - but if anyone is looking for the things, they are there in abundance.

Post by: Storm.Shadow on January 13, 2009, 12:34:22 PM: If anyone is still looking for these Wal-Mart in Fairview Mall (Kitchener) just put out a case of Wave 5 Revision 1. Looks like they were all there.
