walmart exclusives
« on: May 27, 2009, 04:55:02 PM »
Looks like walmart is going to be getting some exclusive 2 packs. I like the tunnel rat better then the comic pack version, i picked it up off ebay for 10 bucks :shifty:. They fixed tunnel rats thumbs for the walmart exclusive. Just not sure when they are coming out.

Someone from Markham ON is selling Monkeywrench and Tunnel Rat W-M versions. You reckon these are already in Canada at Walmart distro centers?

Not yet.  That sellers is actually a bit dishonest.  They are selling in Ontario, but everything ships out of China.  I bought some stuff from them and the package came from China.

I bought two items from this seller and have not received them over 3 weeks ago.  We are currently trying to negotiate getting other figures or a refund.  And yes, this guy ships from Hong Kong - under the eBay name of handytoy.  I know other board members have had some luck with him, but you should check out his feedback before dealing with him.

Most people get their stuff, but at are not.  One of the items I purchased was a Reactive Armor Duke.  Someone else purchased another one a couple of days later and never got theirs either (but left positive feedback????).

This may be becoming my own personal rant, but I thought I'd take him up on his offer to select 2 figs from his store.  I swore I saw a Tunnel Rat, but when I asked, he said it was gone.  I checked and it was no longer in the store.  Then I saw that he had both Shockblast and Nightcreeper so I though I'd ask for them.  He replies that he only has Shockblast - and sho nuf' it's off the page too when I checked again.  Thank god for Paypal - even if they screw you on exchange.

So, in conclusion, I guess I would advise anyone to not buy f handytoy - unless you like to gamble!

Nice to see some Walmart exclusives.  I'd be excited for the Target ones if Target was up here...  these ones should be nice, though.

We may get the Target exclusives yet.  Zellers is owned by the same company and they stock Target Star Wars exclusives.  And garanteed we'll get the Toys R Us exclusives.
Now only if Sears would carry the Kmart exclusives.

Is it. But they've allowed a ton of thread relating to the HATE, The Convention, and some newsletter ones. So.... meh?

I'd still prefer the sites that post the news FIRST get the referral link. So check around for other options first. ;-)
