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.
