I've been seeing a lot more of the newer/WM exclusive Comic Packs lately

These haven't even hit anywhere near Los Angeles yet.

First time that has happened.  :o

Not really. WM has been really horrible about getting the exclusives to our stores. One of the three here in the Valley never gets them at all.

We have numerous WMs in MN that don't get any of the exclusives. It's really annoying.

WalMart sucks ass.   >:(

...and on an unrelated note - I picked up a set of the new comic packs at Target yesterday.  I vowed to stop with these things, but I just can't stop for some stupid reason.

In my area, Wal-Mart kicks ass.  All the stores seem to do quite well in stocking their exclusives, receiving the new waves first, etc.  Plus their prices are usually a little cheaper than everyone else.

WalMarts here in MN are generally filthy and full of immigrants (not that there's anything wrong with that, I guess)  Employees are no help and like Nick said - we rarely get exclusives....and what's up with the greeters?  Nasty ass old people or the paraplegic?  Ick.. WM's were great in Vegas when I lived out there, but I guess it's all in what part of the country you're in.

Refer to the WM bingo card if you please.   :)

Yeah, I think a lot of it's relative to the area, or district.

There's really only one Wal-Mart in my area that I would say is behind the times, and it's a pretty far drive from most of civilization actually.  It's pretty small and dated.

Picked up the new Amanin warrior set  - first comic book 2 pack I have liked since wave 1's han & luke...since memeber name is Amanamatt, of course I am all over any new Amanin type figure. Not like Amanaman sold well when he hit years back, but hey, I am not complaining. As you can see, this is way larger than any previous version of an Amanin figure. The modern Amanaman was pretty much dead on scale.....

Has anyone picked up the Wedge/Borsk comic pack? If you haven't, be forewarned. It's not so good.

Wedge has the proportions of a orangutan. His arms are too long and his legs too short and bent into an awkward pose. He can't even stand up straight. What happened? How did this make it past Quality Assurance? Sheesh.   

Borsk on the other hand, our very first Bothan.... the species that stole the plans for the second Death Star... looks about as fearsome as well, apparently a Bothan. Gigantic head. And his hiked-up tunic looks odd unless he's posed in a running position.

Total C- on this comic pack. I was really looking forward to it but it's just not right.

So, this got me to thinking about Mon Mothma's line about "many Bothans died bringing us this information blah blah blah..." As it turns out the Bothans were rather clumsy and prone to fatal accidents and that this was an inside joke and the entire Rebel briefing erupted into laughter. 

I understand now why the Bothans didn't appear in the film.

I also noted that the Luke with Shan has like two molds, one with the mid body like Leia with Xizor comic pack, along with the huge head lol!
Others seems not to be that bad.

Mmmmm.... the species who thought they stole the plans when in actuality Palps let them have it so they'd plan an attack and arrive in time for the waiting ambush.

I noticed something interesting about the Vakil Pilot figure - he's got a new lower torso which makes the SA X-wing pilot figure taller, like it should be. Looks like this figure can be used to make non-Luke sized Pilots. Yea!

I think that the entire figure is new. The arms are longer that the VOTC Luke and the shoulders have a much more rounded ball-joint. The torso seems has the larger ball joint head and the hose attaches under the arm, which is different from any of the pilot figures we have so far. It looks different than Luke's and the Evolutions' sculpt.
