I could potentially visit 7 stores over a weekend, though the most I've visited in one day falls under the 3-5 category. That was when the Avenger was reported out and I couldn't sit still knowing they were out there in my state (just, as I learned subsequently, no where in my area). There are four imediate stores in my area and I can hit them in sort of a pattern, taking a very round-about way home from the university.

Its 2 for me in a day. They are about 35 miles apart each. But I think I've figured that it takes about 45 days after first report until they show up in Washington.
Once they do arrive they seem to dissapear fairly fast.

I can't remember what the original plan was, but a buddy and I decided to take a day off and hit as many as we could. Fortunately they're pretty dense around here so all the small towns have one.
The biggest suprise was finding what I considered a the long gone 1/6th Kettenkrad with crew and trailer for $39...
This was during the time this year that the 1/6th Humvee's and 1/9 Abrams were being found at crazy $50/$75 prices.

I think there are exactly six WMs within reasonable driving distance.
I've only done it once. I had hit the two close to my house early one Saturday morning, then my wife decided to visit her sister-in-law. Hit two more on the way there, then took a different route home and hit two more.
There were a couple more I could have gone to, though...

You would not believe how many Wallyworlds in this town. My personal record is 17. Yes, I know I have a problem. Every small town in this area also has one. Great places to find those discounted items. If I was smart I would just order online. I guess it's the thrill of getting something for less than I think it's worth. I try not to think about the time I waste looking for toys. Thanks for bringing it up!

I'm a legend in my own mind.
Since I do live in Houston, the number of WM's I hit in one day is limited to free time, not a lack of WM's. A fellow boardmember and I usually run a recon everytime there is something new released and verified sighted through the board. We go at night to avoid traffic and idiots at the stores and run in a big circle to hit about 8 or 9 stores. The most frustrating is hitting all of these stores and not finding anything new or on clearance. A good trip is finding the new stuff. A better trip is finding the new stuff on clearance ($5 Bunker Hill Corsair when they first came out).
like pokeyjtc, i too live in houston.
WM's are everywhere!! with 4 closely distanced to me (under 4-6 miles from EACH other
i just rescued a FW 190 (the candy cane striped version) and the 104 starfighter "marinefleiger"
all i can say is there was more AIRPLANE than there was BOX on the shelf for either one. contents all included and intact. (whew! )

Like holensock, I have hit 5-7 WM in a day within a 54 mile radius around me, numerous times just to come up empty handed.(so much for our state slogen, "OHIO the heart of it all") So now I only scout the stores that I have had the most success at every other week.(Norwalk & Sandusky) But, I did drive to a grand opening 42 miles away just to come home empty handed once again. We have a new one opening soon hopfully they will have something new.

walmarts everywhere ...
I have 10 different walmarts that I can get to within 30 min from my house.
Usually when I'm on the hunt - I'll hit three different ones on the way home - seriously I can hit two heading one direction and up to three going another.
I live in the metro atlanta area.
