    Okay, now that I went and gave up and ordered a set of them on ebay, all but Grindcore are now in stock. Oh well... The money I spent on shipping and ebay makes up for the gas money and hassle, I guess...

    The store restocks pretty quickly, just keep checking. I am not sure but I believe they will email you if it becomes in stock too.

    My Wal-mart was busting at the seams with these and all sorts of last wave.

    hmm...now the link shows no results at all for these 4 guys.

    Nice...walmart sucks just like TRU does with the marketing of their "exclusive figures"

    They might get a stock back in, they dont come up in search anymore but the pages for the figures are still online. They get shipments once a week just like a normal Walmart, what sold now is just what they first got in.

    At least I'm banking on that with my Walmart being total and utter failures at getting in exclusives.

    These figures retail for $10. Specifically, $9.83 or so at my Wal-Mart. How does that math make sense?

    EDIT: Sales tax would do it.

    Two $10 toys, plus 8.25% California tax, is about $22, which is about $3 less than $25. Math FTW.

    Beating you to the same conclusion FTW.

    Plus, even with our recent tax hike to 6%, Maryland doesn't have a sales tax that bad. It'd work out to be more than $1.50 extra per figure... but it was close enough that Sing made sense after all.

    Anyone out there still need these? Got a loose Big Daddy, but one of his doors got scratched a bit. I might be able to get more from Wal-Mart, but no guarantees there because I leave Friday.

    Every time I check for the robot heroes 5-pack exclusive online, the only things I see are in-stock cybertron repaints...

    And my walmart is clogged with them but no Robot heroes

    I've also seen a bunch of the new exclusive five-pack too. This Salisbury Wal-Mart is like a godsend for me.
