    Update: the employees have no desire to even want to shelf merchandise or they are closing the locations & no one is on staff. Sad state....but I did run into $4.00 mint card Bumblebees & Outbacks...so strange.

    Sorry for the delay in replying - due to a lack of people actually in the stores, "the MODS are sitting in the back until the regional manager starts screaming at the manager to get it out." That was the most official statement I got out of two employees at Walmart - speaking for one department that has no manager, is closing with an entire mall in Hanover, and only works 2 days a week + a store with only 14 staff showing up for first shift at Brockton. I have to say, the vile & seething hatred expressed for walmart seems to be severely undermatched when compared to the complete & utter ignorance, intolerance & indiscretion expressed by the actual employees of a publicly traded company. Thinking of buying some stock as this could become fun ^^

    The have made it to my local walmart backroom! The local 5 I've been checking are still setting the floors for week 28. I must not be the only person calling as one swore on the phone at me to stop calling them every hour...I call every 48 hrs til. There still seems to be significant apathy in resetting the floor as well. I'm wondering if I will find them just slapped on a shelf to get it out of back room but no official floor set...

    Anyone happen to be near Lynn? The walmart there claims in brickseek to have 72 pieces of the legion assortment in stock - looking to see if they are overflowing in them!

    Well seems I missed the boat in Abington. Just hope the lazy stores in Hanover or Brockton decide to do the reset & put out soundwave & the cassettes.

    I was hoping to meet them, but 150 per is a little out of my price range.

    Found and picked up the two siege jetfires at leominster walmart. They were not with the other transformers. They were someplace else in the same aisle on the bottom shelf. If brickseek says the walmart near you has a couple in stock, check out the bottom shelf of the whole aisle!
