For my fellow Virginians, Found the new D-Day figures (American) at the Victory Drive Walmart in Newport News. Didnt see any Germans though :cry: Which is too bad because they look really good on the card backs.

Now, I take it that the new series is coming out 2 sets of 6, right? I only found the one set of 6 so far, so I assume the next group is in a different case.

The card back shows 15 guys. The first wave is six guys.

BoB II was a 9 figure wave.. So my guess would be the next wave is going to be the remaining 9.

I would have thought so to until I saw the back of the card. ::shrug:: :)

Went back to my Walmart and you are right, these are the only six I saw. Must be the first wave. Look really good exceot for the shiny
brown smudges all over their face.

I can't even find these buggers on eBay. Well I found one set but they wanted way to much for them. I have noticed those smudges in pics. Are they using Mabeline makeup as camo paint? :lol:

In one out of 4 WM i found the tank gunner and i talked to one of the managers i know and she said they wouldn't be able to put the new figures up until after new years. so the WM i got the tanker at made a boo boo

three of the WM in my area just bulked up on BOB II - More than I ever saw with the marines of last two years.
