Another chapter in Walmart incompetence. I'm currently working at 18 miles away from the FL GA border. I clicked on brickseek to check the temp and guess what! It said that there were 6-7 available at a Walmart near the border. I take a break and drive there. I go straight to electronics and ask an associate about the figs. They try to get rid of me with the same script. I then ask them to enter the upc...brickseek was not lying. The scanner stated that there were 6 that had arrived on the truck. Sure, based on my experiences the truck was being actively unloaded. He could have checked the back though (I always did, especially if it said more than 1). He stated that I could return later. Guess what, I called back about an hour later while checking brickseek to magically see the notification drop to "limited stock". As I saw this, the same guy went to finally check the back while I was on hold (they just got to go and take a glimpse at the elec pallet.). He then told me that there was none to be found. Yup, this proves that the unloaders or floor associates are grabbing these and buying them immediately after the truck unload is started. Yeah, that is supposed to be against Walmart policy. Ridiculous!
@chrisr291 -- Yes! Thank you. I just wanted to get a proper sense of scale between the three types; it's amazing how all three bring out different types of nostalgic feelings. The designs aren't "radically" different from one another but each is iconic in their own special way. Heck, even the Super 7 version almost feels like a true Eastman & Laird design from the neck down. At the sides and the back especially; the legs and body proportions alone feel ripped straight from the original comic -- detailed, but not so much to draw the eye away from the rest of the figure. Looks amazing! Thanks again, appreciate it.
I think i might've messed up not grabbing the s7 Turtles, I blame @chrisr291 pics for it though, gotta remind myself that $45 is a steep hill to climb
They are also being sold at Ollie's. Those are the only figures I bought from that show (Was never a fan of that show). I still have them too (Along with Mike's modded nunchucks). Cool figs.
Would be cool if S7 makes a 4 pack of turtles and/or a carrying case like Playmates did. Awesome back in 89-90.
Haha I might be getting FOMO by the time they get to Donny, a 4 pack would be fitting to play catch up for folks like me.
And that's marketing! lol I'm the same way. But then I half expect NECA to pack a bunch of them in one package later like they did with Foot Soldiers.
I think you’re probably right. They have to know that the Triceratons aren’t exactly at the top of a lot of peoples’ lists...so this would be a good way to sell them.
