    Do you know the SKU number for the voyager assortment? I’ve seen every Velocitron SKU except for that one.

    Sadly, none of these were at my local Walmart. Of course, nothing in my neck of the woods seems to show up on-time, if ever.

    Thanks so much. Tonight’s the night.

    Whoever said they are street dated is spreading false information. There were no orange stickers on the packaging.

    1) Awesome find!
    2) Where at if you don't mind me asking.
    3) And you can see the "Set week 28" sticker in Wreckgars post at the start of this thread. Not a street date in the sense you can't check out, but more like "Don't shelve until week 28" for employees working the dept.

    Wal
    Walmarts fiscal year starts on Feb 1, so for Walmart, it's 4 weeks behind.

    This is incorrect. They each ship in their own case of x3. They each have their own spot on the upcoming modular.

    Since Cosmos ships in a case with the other deluxes you have to look it up in Brickseek using the Velocitron deluxe assortment SKU; unfortunately it just shows if there’s stock of the assortment in general, it won’t tell you which figures from the assortment specifically are in stock:

    So far, seems accurate. Brickseek said my local Walmart had Scourge and Override and no deluxe, and that’s all I could find on the floor boxes.

    There's no street dating. I bought Scourge without issues and even took the SIOC box with me.

    Agreed. There is no street date.


    Both Walmarts I have hunted this evening had the full allotment of Velocitron across all of the size classes.

    Question: those of you who are finding the deluxes, is brickseek showing them in stock? Trying to decide if it’s worth checking for the deluxes with only leader and voyager confirmations.

    Welp, made a early morning run to two of my Walmarts - nothing of course.

    20220730_061533.jpg

    Overheard the associates talking about someone opening boxes in the toy gun isle (after he had got done talking to a customer about keeping track of Chases) and the guy associate talking to the older lady associate was evidently new, didn't know better, because the older associate said that those that do this are automatically kicked out.

    So no, not every Walmart is kosher about rummaging through unopened shipments.
