General Wal-Mart question

nope, it's 10 figures per case usually. That doesn't mean they don't have more cases but that's the usual case amount (for the marines anyway)

When my local Wallyworld got the Marines/Japanese in, it had about 40 hanging on the pegs or basically enough for me to pick up 2 of each Japanese figure..

Yes, I have noticed that my Walmart has about a set and a half of any kind of the figures mentioned on the floor at one time.
Kind of frustrating when you need that BOB Open Coat German and all you have is the BOB jeep driver!!!

I've been to one Wal-Mart that has had about 10 S2 Marines, but I can't believe that all that Wal-mart receives is 10, the rest of the case should be there as well...right...maybe 30-40 figures in a case..right?

I live in NJ, outside of Philly, and there is nothing here...but Black 190's and the new 32x planes...no PZIV, no Japs, no BOB, no vehicles, No Graff 109...nothin!

Generally the first shipment I have found came with S1 Marines, BoB German and US, and Pattons. They came in a box of 48. The boxes that have say all Marines or Japanese will be packed 12 with one or 2 complete sets depending on how many are in the set. The 1/32 planes come 6 in a box with at least one of each type in that assortment. The 1/18 vehicles like the Sherman, halftracks etc. are 3 to a box. The Pz IV came one to a box as did the Tiger and Panther.
I always look in the overstocks. I doesn't always help to ask unless the associate you are asking stocks the shelves. Most have no idea what is in back. If you know who stocks get to know them. At the local store the overnight stock girl knows what I am looking for and lets me know if anything new comes in. If something new does come she tries to work it out especially if she knows somebody is looking for it.

Either way, Wal Mart just irritates me. For example, the desert hummers, command cars and dodge trucks just showed up in my AO - this is about a month after they were spotted elsewhere in California - which leads me to believe that the store had them all along and only now put them out on the top shelf. I would really like to know why inefficency is the goal of the Wal Mart chain. Bureaucratically, it doesn't make sense...

If you ask a Wal-Mart employee if there is any more items in the back, they always say "If it's not out here, we don't have it."
