Flash, too.

My friend told me to stop quoting the Monkees. I thought she was joking. But then I saw her face.

Sigh. I was hoping to stay out of Walmarts for a while. Oh, well. Back to hunting I go.

If McFarlane treats this line like he does Multiverse then there will be a near constant stream these things.

True. There's new stuff on the shelves every time I go in a store. That's one of the reasons I was getting so irritated by the lack of Super Powers. I mean, all the Black Adam movie figures are out at retail now, but Super Powers were AWOL for me until last week.

I will say that since Walmart still has garden sections here (Target abolished theirs), I can slip in quickly through that door and get out just as fast if there's nothing to buy. That's how I used to hunt JLU back in the day. I'm also not going to be taking any extended drives again to find these. With the gas I used, I probably could have saved money by paying inflated eBay prices. I'll just stick with the local stores from now on. And the quantities are sufficient that they don't disappear in minutes. I stopped at my local store yesterday, and everything is still available.

The only issue I would have with this line matching the releases of Multiverse is that my local stores don't rotate stock fast enough and there are whole waves of figures that I've never seen in person.

As long as Walmart.com continues to list the figures at retail prices that will be my main approach for getting them. As Bryan said, its just not worth the gas anymore.

 

On a side note, did anyone check out the card backs closely? On the back of GL it clearly states WAVE 1 between the serial number and UPC code.  Not that it matters, but Todd is counting waves differently than we are apparently.

Has anyone else's local stores already raised the prices of the figures and vehicles?

 

One of my local stores has started charging $11.98 per figure and $29.99 for the Batwing.

When you show the prices on the Walmart website, they will price match but customers that don't know that are being overcharged.

 

Why?

Found a listing for Flash:

Still haven't found Batman Who Laughs.  If anyone has better Kung Fu than me and can find an order link please post it here.

Picked up BWL today near Orlando. Oddly, the Walmart website shows the Flash as available there, but there weren't any. Sigh. I hate BWL, but I'll buy one to support the line. But I want a FLASH!

According to the Walmart website, there are none available in local stores yet 3 of them stocked wave 2 on the pegs yesterday. 

 

I have a BWL and Flash now. Waiting on wave 3.

Finally. The Invisible Jet is long, long overdue. 

I will never understand Walmart's stocking. Another location near me put out about 12 of that stupid edgelord Batman, and no Flashes. Fortunately I was able to finally order one off the website. Should be here today or tomorrow. 

Of course, I'm paying $17 for something I could buy for $10 if they'd just stock it at any of the seven Walmarts in my area. But it's worth the extra money to stop driving around and coming away frustrated.

And, of course, Flash showed up at every Walmart in my area. Like two days after the Flash I ordered arrived.

These have hit ebay

Nightwing:

Deathstroke:

Wonder Woman:

Granted they are shipping from Hong Kong meaning they most likely walked out of the production factory on their own, but its a good sign to begin paying attention at Walmart soon

Next wave of figures is being reported as found in Walmart in Oklahoma. For those of you that are interested, start your searching.
