I got lucky at Walmart in Bradford yesterday I got Dusty, Zartan and 2 Jungle Vipers.  There was still a Dusty, Destro and Tornado Kick SE left on the shelf.  The only one I am still looking for is the Recondo and the Cobra Fury.

They also had 2 $10 Night Raven's left.

All I saw at Wal-Mart in London last week was wave 1 - at least one of everything.

Or at least there was.............

At least my order from Hal will be here soon.  Not that I would say no to a Jungle Viper or two.

i finally found alley viper at retail!

walmart at square one had lots of wave one figures, i left behind the cobra commander though, i did how ever take the firefly and alley viper they had.

zellers at square one also had a handful of figures, again i left them all, including cobra commander, but i took the alley viper.

nice info about the W2 vehicles, I'm eager to run into them but have had no luck yet

I found two Jungle Vipers at a W-M in London last week but haven't had much luck other than a couple Alley Vipers here and there. Cobra Commander and the other short packed W1 guys are starting to stagnate around here finally but the army builders are scarce. I've got five of each so I think I'm good, I can scout for more though if anyone is having a hard time getting out to stores.

Kronser - if you happen to come across another AV and maybe a couple JVs, I would gladly take them!

Just went to the Wm at Markville and some D-Bag cut into the Snow Job and stole the sniper rifle!

There is some D-Bag running around the east end constantly swapping figs, and now probably the same guy removing items.  We've got a definite problem.  I only hope someone wakes up at the stores.  Though I don't hold out much hope.

I hate that. As a kid, as now, I figure if I can't afford a Joe, I can't have it. Why can't everyone just accept this?

I know of a guy who did that with ROC Sharc with Ice Storm.  Bought it, removed the head for a custom, then returned it to Walmart and said it was defective and was missing a head... just to save $8

I know seriously...if you cant afford an 8 dollar toy and is forced to steal it, you got issues...don't they have more important things to worry about, like maybe getting a job or something...this is the kind of stuff that turns me off to retail, aside from the lack of product on the shelves.  Which is why I just buy online these days.

Found a full case of waves 1 and 2 at my local Wally.  The only figure missing yet again was the all elusive Alley Viper oh and Recondo.  I scooped him just in case I do a Blaine custom.
