Finally a new Super Wal-Mart opened 5 minutes from my girlfriend's house... pretty sweet.

So she was up the other day for SW figures for me and her kids, and didn't find much I needed, and I forgot totally to even ask about XD stuff... So we went up last night and low and behold they had Japanese and Market Garden figs. OMG looked damn picked over unfortunately, but the Japs were in some abundance.

I finally got the Lieutenant, and put about 6 figures on lay-away, picked up 2 that night.

The OMG figs are cool but have lots of accessory holes and ntohing to place in them. Cool though nonetheless. I have extra accessories I think. I was just ecstatic to get something, but now I hope the Battle of the Bulge (early and upcoming waves alike) hit in abundance. My favorites have been impossible to find unfortunately.

I'm just pleased as punch right now that I found the Japanese in a store... myself... for once. :) Felt good.

Had lots of Humvees (the new ones) and Dodge's. Those have hit en masse in my region surprisingly.

Another Fresno Wal Mart has about 8 S1 Herman Graff ME-109Gs, 8 RC Panzer IVs & M113s, a smattering of 32x FW-190s & P-47s, and (I kid you not) 20 1:6 RC Hummers and 13 RC M1 Abrams, all on the high shelf and not discounted.

I haven't seen squat of any kind of military (bbi, 21c, etc) on Walmart.com. I've been looking too. :?

Walmart does not sell 21st Century items on their website, but does carry the products in their store.

Target does sell 21st Century items on their website, but they do not have it in their store.


Strange huh???

And Target's online prices are about as mch as any online-only retailer.

I bet there was an agreement between 21C and Walmart to not sell their stuff on Walmart.com. If Walmart did this, 21C's e-tailers would take a great big kick in the nuts. That would definitely reduce 21C's market.

Almost right. If the stuff was sold online there would be no need for us to go into the store every week and buy jerkie and toothpaste and.... :wink:

Finally got me a WC-51. Also finding a Beserker Wolverine from the SHS series makes it even sweeter. Only thing to bring me down was I was on the way to the dentist :(

I'm always tempted by the jerkie but it makes my car smell - well - like jerkie.

I do have a collection of hand sanatizer

Thanks for the Heads Up CW4! A new RC Mark IV is now mine at a bargain basement price. A lot of the WMs in North Alabama also have marked down their Abrams' and Humvees to $79. I think WM now regards them as shelf hogs...........

Walmart in McDonough, GA had about 20 Abrams for $79.99 and about 7-8 Humvees for the same price. Another Walmart about ten minutes away has just lowered them to $179 And another walmart 10 minutes from that has two stickers saying "savings $199.99" the second sticker reads "was $199.99"

This is all under the Sign with the happy faces and flags and dancing girls.

I wonder who falls for it.

WM in Peoria IL. (N. Allen Rd.) had the German F-104, Seamann ME-109, M-41 with VC tanker, CO-ED Sherman, S2 Hanomag, OD US halftrack, and S1 and S2 Marines. A ton of everything. Big surprise.

WM in Austin had 1 Weapons truck and one soft top Humvee and a couple of FW 190's they've had for quite a while-still in Motorworks boxes and at full price-I wish they would get some newer planes-I suspect they won't get anymore because of these just sitting. Maybe I will relocate them to another store like Mark suggested. Oh yeah and a special suprise the 1:9 Abrams and 1:6 Humvee Clearanced for $60 each. I bought one each as that is all that would fit in my car and I don't even collect that size. Seemed too good a deal to pass up.

They had the R/C Abrams at one of the WM's in my area as well for $79. At that price went ahead and bought one. All the new 32x tanks have shown up but nothing else new in 1/18..

Thanks Kevrut :wink: . Made it to the Allen Road Walmart today. Now about $100 shorter. They've had the vehicles for a while. I thought the gray Hanomag was the S1 version? They also had a bunch of new Corgi.

Found two German F-104s at a WM in Central AR (marked at $39.94, same price as other A/C). Same WM HAD the new vehicles last week, but already sold out.

Good supplies of OMG, USMC, Sahara, and Japanese carded figures in all stores in the area.

WM in Warren, MI has 3 RC Abrams & 3 RC Stuart tanks along with 10 RC HMMWV's all marked down to $79.99. They also have a ton of the 1/18 RC Panzer and APC for $49.99. They have a few 1/32 armor.

A total of 4 1/18 A/C: USAF F-104, Sky Captian P-40, and the Hackle & Sahl Me-109G-6. I picked up the 104 and one of the 109's that I plan to return to another WM and see what/if they get resotcked with.

Picked up an r/c M113 (NATO camo) for $15 at the WM in Henrietta (suburban RochesterZ) today. That's my kind of price! Thinking about going back for a desert Tan one....
