POST ALL 21st CENTURY WALMART FINDS HERE

Intresting that the Mr. "T" has popped up elsewhere

Curious to find out what you used for the gold chains and cross

My Wallyworld recon lately is as bleek as the Target recon, nothing new

And to make it worse, I saw in 2 different stores the plan-a-gram for how they will be setting the toy dept.. Both only had 2 hooks of XD figures, both the same SKU # and they both match the standard single pack figure, not the dual packs

Plus, no 1 18th vehicles either

Well, guess I'll crawl back to my movie(Battle of the Bulge) and keep carving on my M-41 and Shermie tank to build my next creation

KWR190, did you report a while back that the Lacey (Hawks Prarie) WM had the two figure packs? I went in tonight and found just three old D Day figures. I bought two of them hoping the see the shelves filled in the future. Drop me a line and let me know if they were there.

Thanks!

olifant no they got in the S-3 Figs I hope the next batch will be the 2 pack I was told by one of the employees that they wouldnt carry the figs any more but looks like they were wrong took awhile for them to get them in

Found the Platoon figs here in Houston. This is my first sighting of anything new XD at Wal-Mart in Houston since Thanksgiving.

Platoon figs showed up in SW MO as well.

sure this is 1:32 but I thought a cool find...

Panzer 38T in a more open box at WM for $14.98

Found Platoon figures ( but did not buy any) at the South Frederick Maryland WM super center on Buckeystown Pike.

I picked up 2 Platoon figures I found at the Rehoboth WM. The others were already taken.....

Pretty dry on 21st stuff lately EXCEPT at TRU, hehehehe.. I'd never thought I'd hear myself say that after all these years.

There were about three sets of the Platoon figures at the Wal Mart in Milford, CT. I picked up all four figures yesterday.

I saw 6 Platoon figs at the Farmingdale walmart and not much else 21st.

Found all four Platoon figures plus two extras at the Scarborugh, ME Wal Mart. Bought 'em all plus a 1/32 Panzer 38t (great little model by the bye).
Apart from the dual packs, there is not much else in 1/18 at any Wal Mart I frequent. A few aircraft on clearence is about it.

News just found 10 Sahara Figures on the pegs with the new Platoon figures! Sahara back up to full price too - from the dusty looks of them - they have been on clearance and off a few times and then placed under a box in the back of the store....

I found the platoon figures this past weekend as well, and they're not real impressive... The Barnes and Taylor figures are the best sculpts for accuracy, the other two though, not so much. They look better on the back of the cards as far as accuracy goes...

Anyway, I got Barnes and Taylor and I'm happy with that. I may get a Willam Defoe someday but probably not for a while. The one for Dep just doesn't look like Dep to me at all...

ya i a gree with you JJ

dep does not look like dep...

but if you look at the sun for a long time and look back at the dep figure you see it dep or anything you want to see...

I found the Hetzer and the Marder III the Hetzer was already being hijacked by some other guy.. I did pick up all four of the platoon figs but none of the 1/32 stuff.

I agree you almost have to work your way through two or three looking for the best paint application - some even have little smudge flaws possible where it rubbed against the plastic? The Dep is the toughest one to recognize and I thought two of the 5 Defoe's looked pretty good - the others not as consistent. - I'll pick up two of each figure - maybe a few extras for a rainy day...

On another note the PZ 38Ts are at almost every WM I check - sometimes the price on the shelf that matches the box will say $9.00 but it still rings up 14.98 - also be on the look out for the cold steel snap and screp models - I just picked up a Chaffee, and M3A1 for $5.00 each.

the 1:144 planes and armor are ranging from .50 to $1.00 depending on the WM

Finally was convinced to get a MiG-15 today. Suppose the $11 sticker had something to do with it as I usually stay with 1/32 models, but I already had the F-86 so now the set is complete.

The Platoon figures are at the Raleigh, NC, New Bern Avenue Walmart.

I found Platoon figures at my local Wally world today, picked up 1 each of 4 to do some FOV- Platoon cross over fig.s (see in Customs forum) and they seem to make good American FOV figures

But the Charlie Sheen figure head was a bit small and narrow for the FOV helmet to fit on tight, but a tad of CA in the helmet allowed to dry made the helmet a bit tighter and is still removable

I stiil haven't seen these Platoon figs show up here in AZ yet, but am keeping a eye open for them. It is funny that I have seen endless amounts of FOV WWII figs at Target for some time now, but these Platoon figs haven't worked there way into the local Walmart systems here.
