WALMART HAS JOES AGAIN!!!!!

[Mandingo Rex]

So, to get off of fried chicken talk, I actually stepped foot in a Wal-Mart today for the first time in over a year. They actually had about 8-10 pegs, but they were all shit from wave 1-2. Damn revision waves! At least there were Joes, but nothing worth buying. If it was back home, I'd maybe have bought a Duke or Beachhead just to clear some shelf space but it wasn't worth it.

^Good Eddieism in there. Show me how strong you are, fellas...

 

[SR_501]

Found a Blowtorch and Hawk.. Don't know how I fell about them any more. Girlfriend found me some Vipers and IGs though.

 

[Rick]

Amazing, Wallymart decided not to carry joes and now they have the newest before target and tru?

 

[xhairs]

ya got to love it

 

[thelegoguy]

Nothing to report in my area except bare pegs in Wallys and the Targets have frosty Destro and Duke with the backpack cannon crap. Getting a little disappointed. Although, the Targets have plenty of Abrams and Bradleys!!!!(now if I can convince the wife I need more)

 

[lancelot]

they don't even have GI Joe on the Planograms here in Kentucky. None of the walmarts do.

Not in Iowa either. I spoke to the manager of the store nearest me and sent an email to their corporate HQ...not sure if it will help, but oh well.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

i rarely go into Walmarts (F*@# WALMART!!!) but if i do, its strickly for Joes...one of them still carries them, though the pegs are always bare, and one doesnt, hasn't since RoC ruined Joes reputation and peg warmed/clogged for almost 2 yrs...

the Targets around here carry them, but i've never seen anything past the Shockzorrrrzzz wave

 

[pcsguy88]

Did Target quit Joes? Yet to see a single new one there.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

it seems like they did...or they just have endless amounts of the first few waves, cause i've not seen anything past ST wave...not even remnants

 

[XOC2008]

My Targets only have Snowbunny Destro and Zartan.

 

[K-Tiger]

I didn't see anything after W.2 on mine, and from what i hear those Targets that are getting new ones have them in the $10 range.

 

[pcsguy88]

I've never saw the ST revision packs there. Hell, Last time I saw new product was January and I'm not sure if they have restocked since March.

 

[xhairs]

i haven't gone to target in a mo as all they had was wave 2 they never got wave 3 or above lol

 

[ThunderDan19]

Seems they made the same mistake as Wally did with RoC. Way too much of the early waves. I wonder if they have cases of newer waves in their DC's just sitting there...

 

[pcsguy88]

Weird because Walmarts here never had wave 3. They skipped right to to revision wave in Feb or March.

Mine seems to have quit the vehicles.

My Targets only have Snowbunny Destro and Zartan.

Mine is the same but instead of Zartan it is Dusty.

Mine did have the Shocktrooper wave but then never got anything beyond that.

Hey look my Walmart has Joes again!

They also have tons of RoC Scarlett in blue & RoC Cover Girl. Of course CG is still $6.97. While Scarlett is an insane $9.97.

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

Ha! Steve Smith! What a score!

I can't believe that those packs are still around. It was actually a decent five pack. Duke was a great urban troop builder.

 

[Big Jim]

If they werent still 20 Id have him grab 2 for me

 

[pcsguy88]

$21 does not equal a troop builder.

 

[fogger1138]

Yeah, that's a great set, but for half that price.

 

[SR_501]

So tempted even for 20.. I really like the BAT and Cobra Troopers for fodder, Get those resolute arms on the cheap.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

i'd like a set, but like all ya'lls said, not for that price

 

[ThunderDan19]

I'd totally pick up Scarlett for $1.50...

man thats crazy

 

[Rick]

found newest wave at wally in New Hampshire. Got two Hawks !!!!!!!!

 

[thelegoguy]

Rick, lucky guy. Which one? I have been trolling the Targets/Wallys in my area with no luck except for a forgotten Skydive I found in the Lego aisle that someone left on a shelf.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

just went to Target and Wallys across from my work...nothing, except, in all seriousness, Storm Shadows

 

[ThunderDan19]

Mine got the previous wave late... still have most of them I think. I will have to check in today if I get a chance.

damn man you at least got storm-shadows? your so lucky, I ain't got shit! My walmart is probably not going to get any of the 30th anniversary stuff

It was in Seabrook I think. I picked up a new Cobra Trooper today at a Wally in Plaistow NH. MA has nadda.

The new trooper is pretty cool. He can aim that rifle pretty well looking forward.

The pistol is too loose. I don't know why they made that holster as roomy as they did for the gun with the silencer??? Same with new SE.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Rick got lucky agin <--------------

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Agin! That was the other x-ism we were trying to think of.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

yup...i remembered when i clicked on this thread and thought of the old title

ya they could of mad the hand gun a bit bigger. it sucks as it falls out all the time.

 

[K-Tiger]

I dropped one of the big ass 1911A1s in the holster on W.3 SE and that sumbitch wants to fall out when handling the figure. Piss-poor holster design in general.

 

[duffmann]

walmart's in my area have crap. i will keep checking but no luck yet.

 

[lancelot]

I haven't even bothered checking my Wal-mart recently. There's no reason to go there for me. Maybe they'll have the 30th Anniversary stuff come fall but I'm not holding my breath.

That's about how i feel. They either don't have them or they've been picked clean with nothing but blowtorch or cc. Let's say there's 12 to 15 Walmarts in the KC area, maybe 2 or 3 carry them. Those that carry them get maybe 2 to 3 cases in a month, and that's being generous. The odds of catching one of them on the pegs is few and very far between.

And target continues to swell with Arctic Destro and Storm Shadows...................

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

i'm not so sure theyre sweeling with them...i think we just keep seeing the same ones that have been there since they first hit the pegs
