I ran into a Hasbro rep at a local Walmart store who is also a collector.  In all my years of collecting and running into reps, this was the first one I met who also collected.  He actually filled me in regarding a few things.  Like?  Only 2 Walmart stores in my county out of about 6 or 7 stores actually got the WM exclusive Battlefront Imperial Shocktrooper.   And both stores only received 1 case each, which sold out extremely fast.  The rep was actually assigned with putting these out, but the deliveries didn't match up with his schedule, so he missed his opportunity to get one in store.  And when they did get stocked, they sold out almost immediately.  He actually had to trade with someone on the west coast to get his own Battlefront Shocktrooper. 

He also mentioned the 3.75" Black Series.  The new assortment seems to be filtering out slowly, but should be out for Black Friday.

I saw a couple of stores finally restocked these last night so I dared the 10:30pm trip to Walmart and was rewarded by finding a full case still on the pallet.  ;D

Finally, officially caught up with everything for 2015 toys. Now to start shopping for everyone else... :P

No sign at all in SoCal. They showed up the other day on line for about three minutes before selling out. Had one in my cart, but couldn't complete the purchase because they went so fast.

Found a case at WM last night.  I have extras if anyone needs them for cost plus shipping.

Went up on WM.com again. Managed to score one before they sold out in no time flat.

Stopped into a Wal Mart on a whim this afternoon and they had 2-3 of the Shock trooper figure plus the new wave of TFA 6" figures.  Got the Shock trooper and some of the others.  Was sort of tickled to find an exclusive figure as it usually doesn't happen to me that often ;)

Found these on the pegs myself as I was picking up my on-line order ironically.
