    Yeah it's a strange choice and bad pricing, especially when the figures are literally just old figures repacked into the two pack. It's not even exclusive packaging in that regard. It's legit the same old figures.

    Obviously some of the two packs are completely new figures, so that makes a bit more sense.

      are the two packs showing different UPCs, or are they just generic?

        My local walmart got there extra inventory in but there setup was not as good. Still the same figures, did pick another Nun for extras.

        They were not on the new list, which had me thinking they were going to stop carrying them. I was really happy to see them, that means my local store is walling enough to keep carrying them.

          That looks like one of the Walmarts I visited. I hit 4 about 30-45 minutes south of me and only one had the new exclusive Megos displayed in this kind of mixed wall.

          And that $45 price tag did hurt. After the $30 you'd pay for the carded figures, you're paying another $15 for the coin and the box!

            My local Walmart finally put these out this week. They were in the clearance section. Walmart, in their infinite wisdom, actually put these on clearance at my store. I just don't understand the stupidity of retail sometimes. So instead of buying only an Invisible Man, I picked up one of everything there. Invisible Man $11. Mole person $9. Young Frankenstein 2pk $30. Fly/Werewolf 2pk $35. Usually I only read about this happening at other collector's stores. First time for everything. Unbelievable!

                I always hear stories of different regional Walmarts doing this with new items. Usually followed by a ton of FB posts about how whatever line is "Already on clearance, it's dead" because people aren't very smart.

                Unfortunately I've never had the pleasure of my local WMs making this mistake with new products. Ce'st la vie.

                  Has the second half of this shown up yet? Reptile, Creech, Klown, etc?

                    I haven't seen any reports of people finding them yet. Supposedly they were on a separate container which is why there's a lag.

                      I wonder how the second batch will do at my local. They spent one week sharing an endcap with a couple of NECA items and have now been split up and moved over to the area where the carded figures usually are and a separate endcap that tends to hold a slew of different types of collectibles. The Nun figure seems to have sold out. The box sets, Mole, and Toxie are all still there. Looks like about half of the Invisible Man figures are gone.

                            I just grabbed a couple invisible men for $5 each and some mole men for $7.50 at my local store. The two packs were there as well, werewolf/fly $20, young frank $35.

                                W.T.F.??? That's insane. They aren't even available anywhere near me.
