    How many of these cases usually come in? And do they restock those cases, like send new ones over the months, like once every month?

    I haven't received any notification so my assumption for now is whatever Pulse says remains true.

    But then, Cosmos is the only Deluxe I have PO'd.

    Found the Deluxes nobody wanted (Blurr, Burn Out, and Road Rocket) and when I went to cancel them on Pulse saw the rest of the figures are preparing to ship.

    Got super skunked. Anothe Virginia hunter found them in a box on a pallet at a Walmart very close to me, got them with permission from staff

    but when I showed up the stuff was gone with no trace. Extremely frustrating

    Pulse and Walmart orders haven't shipped yet so a lot of the supply isn't in the market's hands yet. If it's still that much after those things happen and online orders never go back up, then it's time to panic.

    Some Walmarts are initially getting 1 case of each assortment in.

    If you’re looking on Brickseek and the deluxe assortment shows “6+“ figures in stock, that means that store has at least 1 case(8 figures per case) in. It might be more than 1 case but AFAIK inventory count for Brickseek maxes out at 6. Meanwhile if you’re looking for Scourge, if the inventory count shows “limited stock” they have at least 1 case(2 figures per case) and either have 1 or 2 figures left.

    As for restocking, not sure, might be dependent on management at your local Walmarts. Restocking can be hit or miss for Walmart.

    Why do people want the barcodes on Cosmos?

    A clean pic can be scanned by an employee to help find one in back.

    In this instance any barcode would work as its a mixed case

    Got denied my chance to go out and re-check my local walmart so im just sitting here frustrated with how my day's gone. Im not even trying to get cosmos, since my walmart pre-order hasnt cancelled on me yet.

    Hey quick question, I had a walmart account but in my rush I ordered cosmos and override as a guest. Do "non member" orders get like fucked over in the selection or am I good?

    Pretty sure Walmart equally fucks over both :p 

    IIRC your order ends up cancelled if it gets marked as delayed. Don't quote me on that though

    Road Hauler and Override each have their own straight pack cases. Each contain 3 each. Should be fairly easy for Road Hauler.

    People are rummaging through the Deluxe cases on the pallets here at multiple stores to get to Cosmos. Good job Hasbro and Walmart.

    The Velocitron cases are on pallets with the wk 28 labels.

    Walmart about ~45 minutes from me has Scourge. Hopefully this means stock will begin showing up at stores closer to me soon.

    Most likely just one case. WM prefers to not sit on extra inventory. It will be several weeks before any more cases. The rate and # of sales will determine when and if that order gets placed. Think it was a couple months at least between netflix stocks. So whatever the scheduled release of wave 2, it might affect replenishment of 1.

    also depends on the store. All the Walmarts around me still have about 3 full cases of the legacy beast wars exclusives on the shelves. Could mean they keep ordering heavy on exclusives or could mean they order less velocitron exclusives because they can’t get rid of Buzzsaw, Nightprowler, Sandstorm.
