I don't know what the deal is with Walmarts site to store ordering is but taken 2 weeks to go from NY to MA is rediculous. I still haven't gotten it. my order says it'll arrive between the 20th and the 23rd. the last update was on the 19th and it says in transit to store from NH. it's taken 2 days to drive to one state. what GPS are these truckers using, there wives.
I was wondering if anyone else had to wait this long?? I thought i remember reading someone other then me ordered one and is supposed to get it the same time as me. Lets hear you guys. oh yeah and trying to find a cargo truck in this area ain't happening. I can get the troop transports but no cargo truck. I can't wait when the indy line slows down and the cargo trucks sit on the shelves. well thats all for now.

I always saw the store to store as not worth it unless you are buying a large item. The 6-8 bucks to ship a couple of cargo trucks is worth the two weeks or so you spend waiting for your goods, and the gas you use to go pick 'em up.
Wish I had some real advice on what to do - I know others have been waiting a while too. Good luck with your truck.

I have found 3 trucks so far in the open at WM and TRU.
I've also ordered 4 more thru Hasbroken :twisted: They say that it takes 45-60 days for them to come, so I need to be patient and wait :roll: Da General

I've been finding the trucks here at my local WM's along with the jungle cutter. Haven't spotted any troop cars though.

Between Wal Mart, Target, and TRU, I have encountered all the vehicles and figures from this first wave. I got just about everything I wanted within the first couple days that the Indy toys came out. Still, if my area got that kind of coverage (it has ridiculously crappy distribution with 21c items by comparison) then the Indy toys should be relatively easy to find all across the nation.

As Digger says, it is sure worth the $7 shipping charge. A lesson learned.

My order was made 5/3 and now delivery is set to the store at 5/24 BUT I also have an email says "They are sorry for the delay but now they do not know when delivery will be made"..... WTF

My order went from "A sorting facility" in Sharon Springs, NY to "a delivery facilty" in Smyrna, DE, and will be delivered to my local store in Toms River, NJ.

Ths is just silly. Typical Wally distribution grabbutt. 8)

I have ordered big and small items from Best Buy and Circuit City with shipment picked up at the store and I get one day service. I was a dope to think the same would be from Wally. It's a joke. Staples has one day home delivery for everything from staples to desks. Great service.... I guess that's the key word..... SERVICE. 8)

Sounds like the Keystone Cops run Wally's deliveries.....

I shoulda paid the two dollars......... :wink:

I just thought of this idea. i'm going to call walmart and figure out what truck my cargo truck is on and call my friends with 3 civics with green neon and hijack the truck. if you didn't know what movie this is from: Fast and the Furious.

I ordered my two trucks May 7th. I was eventually notified they would arrive May 23rd. On May 19th I recieved my trucks. So sometimes they come a little earlier then reported.

Well I bought two of the trucks at local WMs when they first hit the shelves, found another at a Target store and had a Brain Fart and didn't pick it up. Today, I was in a KMart store and found both the Troop Car and a Truck which I bought @ $21.99! They had no individual figures exceppt the Indy packs with the Temple accessories. I have yet to see the "Jungle Cutter."

i don't know if anyone knows this lil tid bit on what truck it is that Indy rides on.
The truck used in the chase scene from the excavation is actually a WWII 2 1/2 ton GMC CCKW-353, with the hood and cab converted to approximate a pre-war Mercedes truck.
