I found the WM Evo sets, had to convince them that they wern't recalled, then the said they were "on-line exclusives" and shipped to the store by mistake. Got 'em for regular Evo price.

The bs debates we have to get into with these Wally employees to buy these are crazy.

The damn things are right there on the sales floor, we pick them up and bring them to the register and then we have to spend 15 minutes fighting over everything from convincing them they're not recalled to convincing them they're allowed to sell them now to what the price is.

They need to get their **** together.

Yeah, I don't get WM policy on this at all.  I tried to buy some joint compound (not for rolling - it's for dry wall) about a month ago.  It wouldn't ring up at the register and the sales lady told me it had been recalled.  It's freaking goop that dries - it wasn't recalled, it's just not in your silly system for whatever reason.  Argh!  Glad you walked away with the sets Anton.

From this moment for all my life. What could I say? Was born to be this way. And what could I say?  Just livin' for today

Walmart gave me the recall business back when the first Legacy wave came out. It was a few days before the release date, and I was trying to buy Leektar and a couple others; they weren't ringing up yet, so of course they had been "recalled" due to paint or small parts or some BS. They're hilarious. ::)

All this stuff with the Evolutions Sets is just driving the point home why everytime Hasbro is giving a presentation, those in attendance should audibly GROAN each time a WalMart exclusive is announced.

Got the WM eVo sets out of the way at $17 like Jack.  Skipped the CW 2packs.  Got the three new SW comic packs as well.

I picked up a TRU V-Wing. My wife was with me, so she made them ring it up for $25 since there were no $30 shelf tags.

Found the rest of the Evo sets I needed. I hope. I also picked up Wedge's X-Wing. I'll be putting some Alpha's and V-Wing Pilots up for sale soon. Maybe a Fi or too, but most Fi's I have are already obligated.

I haven't found...

-Target X-Wing (and all I want are the figures ::) ).
-WM Evolutions sets
-THe last wave of Comic Packs (Katarn/Vong, etc.)
-Gunship Battlepack
-Octuparra Droid
-Snail Tank Droid

And I'm sure there's more i'm forgetting here...

It's dryer than a popcorn fart in Pittsburgh again, nothing new seems to be shipping, very few at all of the Droid Factory sets showed up here really.  Most stores got nothing.

It's really ******.

I've not 100% decided on that yet, but if it helps sell the X-Wing then probably...  I'd love to find a home for the ship so I can keep the figures is all.

Which speaking of this thread...

I found the Evolutions sets tonight, mispriced at $17 a pop, so I stocked up. :)

Picked up a third Octapurra Droid three is perfect!

No sign of the WM comic packs, new Battle packs or TPM wave. Not sure how all of these waves will make it out in time given they are a month late......

Not much here locally yet either, although I'm specifically looking for the Evo packs as well.  I did find the Wedge X-Wing at Target, and saw the Snail Tank Droid there at one point too, but everything else you mentioned are "no shows" so far.  I know I'm going to have to be visiting Wal-mart a lot more than I'd like over these next few months, with all the nice exclusives they are getting.

That is amazing.

It's amazing how much Walmart is screwing up with these.

In the 1 Walmart that I found these, I bought my fill which was 1 of each and 2 of the Imperial Pilots pack.  I got them to sell it to me for $21.76.  Then a few days later I looked to see what they had left, and there was just 1 pack on the shelf, the clone commandos, with a piece of paper duck taped to it that said: "Not to be displayed yet as per Todd."

What?

Walmart just doesn't know what's going on with these.
