My 41st & Memorial Walmart had restocked 32x planes.. It also had 2 Eileen P-47s, one Eagleston P-47 and all the Fw-190s.. Also Bradleys and Tan M-113s, but nothing "NEW"..

That's the problem with XD's success though. Vehicles (and to the point in this case, planes) shouldn't be the priority... They should be the complement to a smaller, lower priced, and more diversity potential product that has the ability to sell a higher volume of product while yielding a greater % of profit to cost.
The planes don't do that, nor does any vehicle really, but the figures do... It's the basis for most successful toy lines (action figures at least), so it's always boggled me somewhat that 21st didn't direct things that way... I've only been able to rationalize it that they tried that for a while with TRU but the TRU deal falling through was what canned it. The vehicles seem to have gotten a foot in the door at WM now, so I'm really hoping this means some dedicated pegs to XD figures, and potentially a dedicated section of shelf space now on the plan-o-grams. That's what the line needs to really expand and have long-life. This could be very good.
Didn't see anything at my local WM's today, but I keep hoping this is only a matter of time for my area now. Every aisle I kept hoping to see that Marine or Ardennes soldier staring back at me.

SKU#
Hello guys,
I was wondering if some of you that had bought the new stuff at Wal-Mart could post the SKU# here so that maybe the not-so-furtunate can use it to see if via the customer service desk you can request the new products.
thanks in advance,
HOOAH!

Haven't seen any of the halftracks, figures or and of the 1/32 items in my local WMs in the Ohio/Ky area.
I talked with the toys person and she told me that they have a weekly update sheet. It informs them of new arriving product that they would have to make room for. She had not seen or heard anything like XD products coming to her store.
Ventured over the the SUPER Wallyworld and there I found the same old planes (D-Day Spits and Messerschmitts). I found a Messerschmitt box with a CIA Huey inside. Strange huh? Some really bad Q/A going on to let a Huey leave the factory in a Messerschmitt box...

I bet if you take a close look, you will find that WM did the swap. The airplances come by container, so it should be next to impossible for them to switch boxes like that at the factory. Remember, the CIA Huey came out about a year before the 109 even was hinted at, hehehehe.....Razor17019 wrote:Haven't seen any of the halftracks, figures or and of the 1/32 items in my local WMs in the Ohio/Ky area.

Yup
Exactly....centone wrote:More likely that some lame-o picked up a huey on super clearance and a 109 at full price, put the huey in the 109 box and returned it for a full price refund thus getting their 109 at the clearance price.
Re: vegas
As usual, Las Vegas gets a whole crapload of XD. Go figure (no pun intended).....boomboomjr wrote:we have the half tracks, german panzers, walker bulldogs, marines, ardennes germans , and stuka pilots. and Ive seen 1/6 kuble wagons for 30 dollars.
