    And still, people will worry about the Falcon being hard to obtain just because someone got it first.

    Seems the Red Team Warthog will be a WalMart set in the US. Must be part of some negotiation to get Mega back into WalMart.

    Mega never left Walmart, least not my local ones. They've had a ton of the Pokemon sets.

    And that's about all some of the stores around here have currently. I'd say it's down below thirty-five percent of the local stores have anything at all and those have only Hot Wheels and Pokemon left. In a very small section. Except one store that has a lone Master Chief Heroes card just hanging around in what's left of the Halo section.

    Yup. All the Walmarts in my area only have Pokemon sets. Nothing else.

    All my local WM stores stopped carrying anything Mega months ago, not even pokemon. The only non-lego items they have in the blocks section are those tubs of generic bricks.

    What scared me recently was seeing those same generic bricks at Kroger. Kroger has been my best source of stuff for the last year. I really don't like the idea of them trying to carry the other brand since shelf space is already limited.

    Yep. Between them and Meijer it's where most of my current MC stuff comes from.

    I don't really toy hunt or hit stores that often anymore like I used to. In my area, I can find Mega product at Walmarts (Pokemon only), Target (Halo, Pokemon, leftover MOTU Skeletor Skulls), Kroger (Halo at normal stores & Halo and leftover MOTU Skeletor Skulls at the big Marketplace store), and Dollar General (Halo and COD).

    I do my best to avoid physical hunting too. Kroger just happens to be on my home from work every day. Fortunately, I have a friend who lives down the road from Meijer and Target who helps me out when I need to find something specific. And a heck of a Canadian to help me in the really tight situations.
    But, yeah, if I can just get it online, I do.

    Marginally related, SD, I have tomorrow off. Pending an unforeseen interruption to my plans, your package will be in the mail tomorrow.

    It's a shame DG doesn't carry more Mega as prevalent as the stores are now.

    Well, we should be able to fix that relatively soon. It'll be the WalMart box your blimp came in.

    So, I recently went to Arizona to get my mom who got stuck due to reasons, but on our way back, we stopped at a Love's in Indiana and I found this there.

    Nice find, these have been out for a while but I've never seen them in the wild
