    I just came back from Walmart. They have the planogram sheets up. 1/2 of the secions is going to be ROTF, 1/4 is TA and 1/4 is going to be Star Wars. I'm going to wake up 2 hours b4 I got to work and go out there again and pick up Prime....I hope he will be there!

    hmmm I just came from wal-mart and they were in the process of clearing the racks and they did tell me that they would be available tomorrow at 5.....i should go check soem of the other close wal-marts at midnight jsut to be sure though......hmmm I wonder if they lied to me......buuut seriously they were still trying to make space and I dont think at that one they will have it done anywhere close to midnight....

    I wonder if it is only soem wal-marts that will be doing this.....

    I have 4 within 5 miles. Called two so far and they said they were not supposed to put them out till Friday night but they seemed clueless.

    It's good that many are doing this. Mine isn't. They have nothing set up for it at all, and no space open. well, maybe in a few weeks.

    Great.... just great...

    Nearest place selling TFs (walmart) 1hr away + working until late tomorrow = me left sifting over whatever the scalpers leave on Saturday morning.

    :( 

    And given that all the places I usually check are scalper havens I'll probably get nothing.

    Thx walmart!

    The market is going to be FLOODED with these figures. Im not saying scalpers wont try their best to take advantage of it, but Im sure there will be plenty for everyone, so dont worry:)

    i think the market will be flooded but like any toys...the intial waves will have some charcters who are more popular and will sell out first and be hard to find for awhile.....my guess on those charcters would be sideswipe, the fallen, and soundwave.........good luck to everyone..

    I've called the WalMarts' in my area, but they've all said no. I'll still go and check. If it's not till 5pm, I can wait.
