    My Walmart.com trial run

    I haven't seen this mentioned in a while. Walmart.com now carries several figures from the later waves. Not third party sellers; legit walmart.com inventory.



    While I was tempted to load up on Spocks for under $11, I went with a figure I didn't have instead. Factoring into that was that I also just bought a ton of clearance figures from Target thanks to a tip or three from Lonnie. Anyway, I ordered online on a Monday afternoon, and received notification Wednesday morning that the figure was ready for pick-up. I grabbed it on my way home from work, and here are pics. The pick-up line was short, the figure was well-packed, and the card and figure itself were in perfect shape.










    I also received a batch of my Target order around the same time. Box was damaged, packed half-***, and everything inside whether boxed or carded had signs of wear. All items were slated for customs, so I didn't care, but I wouldn't want to risk Target if I intended to keep something MIB/MOC.








    I'm pretty excited about the Walmart angle, and am going to make another order this week, for multiple figures. If Walmart nails down the entire assortment, I think it will be the end of the third party sellers who got into Mego to make money on mark-up. If I want to make sure I get a specific figure shipped to me in primo shape, I'll look for Chad Gordy. If I'm buying for price/loose and can't find it in stores - which has been the case for me so far on a lot of stuff - I'll click and ship with whoever can get the figure to me cheapest.

    I was so want them to start with wave 7 but I have plenty of the others.

    It is good to hear that ordering from Walmart.com works out will give them a chance once they add some I do not have.

      WM's pricing makes almost as much sense as Targets

        It probably depends which distribution center handles your order. Several years ago I ordered some DVDs from Walmart, had them delivered. One looked like it had been used as a hockey puck and stepped on. Another time I ordered a game and had it shipped to the store for pick up. It was in a paper envelope and was smashed nearly flat. To say the least, I got a refund for it. Haven't ordered from them since online.

          I had no problems with Walmart when I ordered my Freddy Kruger figure from them when he first came out.

            So this should explain Target finally liquidating inventory of Tootie and company...

                You saw the ones at hudsonsbay.ca ? They don’t have much, and have not restocked...
