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.

wave 6/10 is the Matt Trakker, Cobra Flint, Mutt, Croc Master, et. al right?

Nothing from that wave, sorry. :-[

2x Wild Bill
1x Crimson Guard
1x Flint (Tiger Force)
1x Spirit
...left on the peg.

I saw the older waves on Canadian, this morning.

Canadian Card.

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.

Walmart Guelph got 3 cases of wave 6.
3 cases!! Awesome. Cambridge only ever brings in one case at a time.
Glad you found them, now I don't feel like such a hog for cleaning out Cambridge Wal~Mart :)

Does anyone know for sure if we'll see the clear Wraith on Canadian card?
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.

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.

If so I'll pick one up for you.

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

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.

That's a shame. the Bazooka guy is pretty cool.
Post by: Raptor on November 27, 2008, 03:51:49 PM
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.

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.
Post by: Stealth Viper on December 01, 2008, 02:15:55 PM
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 thought I might feel the same way but once I opened one my views changed.
C'mon Ed, give the baby blue brigade a chance!

There were also 3 or 4 BATs sitting there if anyone is still looking for them.

4 cases?? I was there at noon and all they had left was a few BATS, Mutt, and Tiger Force Duke. Oh well, maybe next time. Any variant Wraiths show up??

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.

My bad for not looking more thoroughly. I managed to snag another Para-Viper. Still, only about one case left with a good variety and not just the Snake Eyes on the pegs!

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

God! We scrimp through one or two cases here in the GTA and out in Guelph it seems you guys get case upon case. I wish I saw similar numbers in my neck of the woods.
I think that we're getting the same amount of product but the competition here is much less.

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.

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.

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.
