    ? about walmart stock

    I have seen reports of Walmarts getting Stan, the Creature, Chucky, Saru. Are the WM stores getting the Fly and Hyde as well, or have those only been seen at Meijer stores? thanks

    I just saw a report of a Picard sighting at one, so they are getting some wave 8. I guess we're all going to find out together.

      Thanks B.
      I guess my problem/question is that I don't really know where wave 8 ends and 9 begins. I am not really sure what waves are what anymore. Probably due to the whole 2020 shipping slowdown and all. My local is one of those that has peg space reserved, but does not seem to really know what sort of stock is expected. If we were not having a major surge in virus stuff right now, I would probably just hop in and check occasionally, but as is I am trying to describe things over the phone to folks who have no idea what I am talking about. No worries, tho. I will just keep on keepin' on and do the toy nerd phone call every week or so until something shows up so I can throw my support at the product.

        It's all sort of melding into each other, certain Wave 9 characters appear to have arrived before wave 8. The distribution is curious, some stores seem to get five of every character and then others get one of each. I hope this stabilizes somewhat.

            I've seen Chucky, Hannibal, and Stan Lee at one Walmart, and 3 of Saru & 3 of Stan at another Walmart. I don't know what to make of it, but I'm glad they are making their way out.

              All I see at mine are Chucky, Hannibal, Picard and Rocky.

                Just visited 2 different Wal-marts and only found Star Trek NG Picard at one.

                  I always see Kirk and Khan at my local Walmart and Wave 1 at Target. I just about always order Megos online because of it.

                    Today at a Walmart, saw two Picards (no thanks), three Chucky's, and the Discovery alien Saru. Saru looked nice, but Discovery never took off with me.

                      I would check at the customer service / returns desk to see if the Walmart you are in even carries the figures before wasting your time going to the toy isles and looking for Mego Figures. I asked the customer service person why some Walmarts are getting the figures and others weren't and she told me that all Walmarts aren't the same which begs the question are Walmarts franchised??!!?? If they are not franchised, then ALL of the Walmarts should be carrying them and THAT is not the case. She told me you can order them on line...but she said they weren't carrying the figures in their store. BTW, Islandia Walmart on Long Island was the one I was at. Mego should have done more research or at the very bare minimum asked if ALL of the stores were going to carry them IN STORE. Bad supply chain in my opinion. I know retail has changed...but don't advertise that Walmart is carrying them IN STORE when that is not a 100% completely true statement.

                        Well I just got back from picking up my nephew for the weekend and while going I stopped at 2 Wal-Marts just to find plenty of Picard's hanging on the shelf.

                          You should grab the Rocky and make a Rambo custom.

                              Went to three Wal-Marts in NE Georgia yesterday and today. The one nearest me had Picard, Rocky, and Leatherface. Picard looks to be a shelf-warmer, as there was 4 Picards and only one each of Leatherface and Rocky. Got the last of each.
