    But not yet to store #1 in Rogers, Arkansas. Sigh. :(

    I picked mine up today. Got all of them and picked up and extra Land Adventurer for one of my buddies.

    I'd say if they made it to my part of the world, there is a very good chance they are everywhere.

    I don't know what I am waiting on, I don't think I want them. They are not real GI Joes. I saw an open one at another Walmart last night and I did notice their thumbnails are not in the correct spot. Some of you may think this should not matter, but a REAL GI Joe should have thumbnails on the wrong side of his thumb. You think the designer of these new ones would have known that.

    That's funny, my Wal Mart has had them in stock since they hit the shelves last week. Very far from being "cleaned out"......Exactly how long is a "heartbeat"....

    I really doubt these figures will stay on the shelves long enough to hit the clearance aisle. If you really want them, I wouldn't wait too long to get them....

    More than meets the eye!

    I found them at my Walmart today. They weren't with the other GI Joes, they were in a Transformers display in the middle of an aisle. I caught a glimpse out of the corner of my eye & recognized them instantly.

    I bought one of each and that left only 3 or 4 figures left so I hope the store restocks for the other fans.

    Thanks for the update! It helped relieve some of my anxiety.

    I stopped by last night and there was the spot for them on the piece of paper as they stock their fall merchandise. I looked down and there was a Land Adventurer and Man of Action. I talked to the store manager and asked if they had already sold out and he told me no, some got placed on the shelves by mistake and they would be stocking them tonight or tomorrow night.

    He did tell me I could buy the two since they were sitting there $9.96 a piece...great deal. I am going to hit Walmart on the way to work tomorrow and Friday and hopefully will hit pay dirt. I do think they will sell out fast since the employees were even saying they were going to purchase some when they were available but it did sound like they did have quite a few in the warehouse from what I could gather.
