Small Scale Military Headquarters

Ok, you know you've got a problem.. Now's the time to fess up or impress your friends

Anyway, post your numbers and if you have a time, tell us what your mission objective was, why you were in that AO, or any other highlights from your epic journey...

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.

No WM's in canada are worth visiting even once..

Your certainly more motivated then me. I can take only one Walmart a day.

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.

There are three Walmarts in my town. I try to get to them all every other week. Never see much new though.

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...

5 or more and the WORST part of it all is...NOT FINDING ANYTHING IN ANY OF 'EM!!!! This area is HORRIBLE for WM's distribution system...did I just say 'distribution system'? NOT HERE!!!

only 2 in my AO one on each side of town
35 miles north lies colorado and another wally mart but i rarely make it up there, never done all three in a day but i suppose i could

I travel all over AR, OK, KS, MO, TX, MS, and into Memphis so I've hit a LOT of WM's in a very short period of time.....

Just got back from hitting three Wallys here in Ocala Fl. Almost a total washout until I saw the US driver with Makinaw for a buck. The Sherman I wanted was gone though. So I usually hit 2-3 but there are 5 in total within 20 miles from me.

I have 5 in my area (a few other farther north and in bad parts of town) that I can hit. I did it once and I was way tired to do it again. 3 near enough to hit all 3 comfortably...

We have... um.... 19?

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!

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.

I went to Walmart last night, and not much new. Where does all the new stuff go?

How about a poll for most gas (@ $2+/gallon) wasted driving around to stores only to come home empty handed?

There about 16 Walmart in the greater Kansas City metro area. I usually visit them by area of town. Can't do them all in one weekend.

Corey, don't go there!

I've been to 6 or 7 in one day. I might have a 300+ mile drive home, there's plenty to stop at.

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.
