Combat Heroes: Wave 1 2008 @ Wal~Mart
« on: December 18, 2008, 10:05:27 AM »
Found a single case of these at both the Cambridge Wal~Mart and Fairview Mall Wal~Mart this morning.

They didn't come up on the scanner so I'm not sure of the price.  They were in standard US/English packaging.

As far as I have been led to understand, if one Wally's gets a truck with new product on it, that same assortment will be touring the area in no time. Here in London we have a weird balance though, one of the Wal-mart's gets three or four times as much Joe product as the other two. Regardless, I'd say a good 75% of my 25th figures have been found at Wal-mart and I will be counting on them to help me out until the movie line hits.

These Heroes are pretty cute but I'm not sure I can convince my wife to let me start on another line of toys :D

No idea if I'll buy these. Probably not but I might change my mind when I see them and if the price is right.

Cambridge gets it first, then Guelph gets a skid full of it. ;-)

Central Ontario represent!

I find they come to Cornwall pretty fast.  We've got the Walmart distribution warehouse in our backyard.  I haven't been in to look yet...  maybe if I find time on the weekend.

Yeah, they're in here...  I just stopped by Crazy-town (aka Wal-mart at Christmas) and saw three sets of the collection on the pegs.  They're pretty nice...  I imagine I'll be getting them.

I really want to go down and have a look at them but its the day before Christmas. I don't know if I have it in me to go near Walmart.

I picked up FF/Bazooka, CC/Roadblock, and Zartan/SE - each $8.92

It also didn't scan at the price checker machine but a helpful associate rang it up for me.

I didn't find Duke/Trooper - and I didn't like these at first, but they have really grown on me.  Still the price is a bit steep for what are essentially less detailed miniatures.

Now I hear wave 3 has been cancelled, so hopefully we still get wave 2 coming with that Destro, Baroness, and Storm Shadow.

I think what I like most about these is that they don't lend well to army building...  so one of each and I'm done!  $9 is a bit steep, but you get two figures that look pretty on a shelf.  Maybe if these do well, they'll re-issue wave 3
