Walmart 6" Imperial Shock Trooper

[Jeff]

Yes, it looks like we have yet another exclusive 6" figure - 6" Imperial Shock Trooper.

Starwars-figuren has the details on what looks like an OT Stormtrooper with Shocktrooper deco (won't copy the pic here since they get pretty angry about that sort of thing  ).


edit: already up for pre-order in the UK.  Here's a boxed pic from Order 66 Toys in the UK -

Another clone/stormtrooper/FO Stormtrooper repaint.  Imagine that.

I like this one.  Any idea if it is going to be made available in the states?  Seems like a good fit for Target stores.  Anyone interested in a group order?  I'm guessing that would be cheaper than ordering individual figures from overseas.

I'd like to say yes

Walmart Press Release confirms this as a Walmart exclusive.

And it comes out Friday - yay! 

I have a good feeling about this one, unlike Kmart Kylo and Walgreens Wrath'o'Vader, which I am unlikely to ever see in an actual store here.

Difficult to see the release date is. Trying to confirm with WM PR as they seemed to have confused a few (several) things when they sent out the release (which I edited for clarity). I inquired about the Shock Trooper to confirm availability and they said it was available right now and sent me this link. I am not optimistic for them being in-store for the event, but maybe a preorder will launch.

As suspected, I was able to confirm that the 6" BF Shock Trooper will NOT be available this weekend.

Rats. Thanks for the update though, any trip to Walmart averted is a plus.

I made a trip to one local WM store today.  No sign of the exclusive Resistance X-Wing at the store I visited.  One thing to watch?  The big Millennium Falcon promotional display that's hanging in the electronics department.  Which gets me thinking, if the 6" Imperial Shocktrooper is a promotional tie-in with the release of Battlefront, then you might want to check near the video games in WalMart stores.

Its Wal-Mart. 

That means you've got to check throughout the store.  Its likely on a back end cap by automotive.   Or maybe a pallet drop near diapers.  Or maybe even by the oranges in produce. 

[Nicklab]

Gotta hate Walmart... pretty much all the time.  This is the chain where you're most likely to encounter an employee who simply doesn't want to help you, and will say things like "I don't think we're carrying Star Wars anymore".  So naturally, the chain that's got the most Hasbro Star Wars exclusives is Walmart.   Ugh.

[Jayson]

Hitting stores now because people who sell these things are f*&%ing clueless.

Boom! I used Brickpicker to find the closet Wally that had these in stock and headed straight over. Grabbed a fresh case right off the pallet - love that!

I just got the one but am thinking two is probably better for flanking Vader or what have you.

I can only pray the Walgreens exclusive will be this easy to snag.

[Jayson]

Nice score.
