Well, if anyone ended up with a damaged package that they're not happy with and wants to sell it, please hit me up.  I've had more strikeouts trying to get this than the entirety of the Twins 2018 ball club.  And that's saying something.

Saw a lot of posts from different Star Wars collecting groups on FB showing people finding these in Walmarts now.  Keep your eyes peeled!

I can confrim this!

I was in Western PA yesterday and saw 8 Mimban Stormtroopers in one store, hanging in front of wave one leftovers. I thought about getting one but the paint work for the "dirty" effect just didn't do it for me.

Dude.  Couldn't buy them and offer them up to those of us who want them?  I'd pay retail + shipping!  :D

This is all because I bought one for like $26 - you're all welcome.

Sorry...if I hadn't been four hours from home...wiping out someone else's area seems like bad toy karma. :P

I'm secretly hoping that because of you, I will someday be able to get a sail barge for half price.   :D

My gf nabbed me some today that were stragglers at her wm.  They’re hitting random and haphazardly at WMs in the Pittsburgh area...  of course, it’s no rhyme or reason on quantity and some stores so far appear to have nothing.

I get why WM gets exclusives...  I just wish they didn’t.

If it’s a $60-$80 repack people only claymored for thinking they’d get it at its price from 10 years ago, they somehow manage to make sure every store has 3 dozen.  If it’s a new figure everyone wants a dozen of at damn near any price, they can’t get them to stores to save their lives.  🤔

I feel like WM is just ******* with us half the time.

WM did great here getting basic figures out to some degree, 2-packs, and the TVC basic line hit all waves except this most recent one with yak...  but exclusives and this company is manic.

It only works when I cave and buy something that I can't find on the secondary market for way too much over retail.

The sail barge, I bought already at regular price.

Sorry!

I saw them again this week and did pick up two with the sole purpose of helping out my JD brothers...because of the overwhelming guilt!!!

Matt (or anyone still looking for these) hit me up if you want.

Should they be lighting up on Brickseek under the Mimban Stormtrooper SKU or are they being put under the main Vintage Assortment SKU when you ring them up at the register?

Mimban troopers hit around here this past week...  first I saw a tweet that Yakface.com RT’d so I went hunting.  A buddy of mine lived near where the tweet was from so he went and was able to grab the last 3 figures from what looked (via the tweet) like a couple cases worth.

Another buddy got 3 at another local store and then his store put out more where I scooped up the remainder there.

My store didn’t put out any (yet) and my gfs store put out a case but it got picked over and were gone again I got there.

So they’re hitting but Walmart being Walmart, it’s haphazard at best.  Some seem to get a case or two and some a case only...  but who knows there could be tons and they’re just getting cleaned out fast too.  It’s a cool figure.  Quite poseable.  I dig him.

Just an FYI, this figure has been marked down at my local Wally.  All VC figures were rolled back to $9.95.
