I managed to order one yesterday, but they were out before I could report here.  Hopefully I get it tomorrow.

I've been seeing reports that the TVC Mimban Stormtrooper will turn up in stock on Walmart.com and quickly sell out.

Back right now (11:30am CT) - https://www.walmart.com/ip/Star-Wars-The-Vintage-Collection-Stormtrooper-Mimban/264456967

I was able to put in an order of 4.

I've been checking the link a couple times a day for the last few weeks (since they dropped the price back down to $12.99).  Hopefully everyone who wants them will get a chance eventually...

I'm sure patience will eventually pay off...but this is just frustrating trying to get a couple of these.
This is the way.

I've been checking pretty often over the past few days as well.  I finally managed to order some this morning.  They seem to be in and out of stock several times a day.

I was finally able to order some the other day and I got my shipment yesterday (Thursday). Luckily, none of them arrived with the bubbles off the cardback and with the exception of one, all were in pretty good shape. Glad to have this out of the way finally.

I managed a few myself yesterday. Random good timing. Having to get up at 4:30am or 5am on occasion on the West coast doesn't hurt, either.

It's definitely been random.  I am AT WORK at 5 AM ET, and I was checking Walmart.com at that time, and pretty much hourly from there on for a few days.  And every time there was nothing.  I checked back at 8:30 AM ET yesterday and they were actually in stock.  It just took trying.  A LOT.

Got my recent order. Once again, less than zero effort made to pack the figures with any amount of care. They were literally just dropped into a box, threw a couple of packing pockets inside and sealed it up. Every one was damaged.  >:(

I kid you not.  Was in decent shape for me being an opener, but the card had a little bit of wrinkle near the top.

My set of four didn't even get the packing pockets - just the four carded figures in a box. 

Thankfully, I'm an opener who was luckily able to finally snag four of these so I'm not going to be complaining too much about it. Lame if you're a MOMC collector though.

I ordered 4 of them.  They shipped in a box that looks like it was intended for a shoe boxes.  And it had some of the air packets in there so they wouldn't be sliding all over the place.  If I were a more discerning carded collector, I would probably not be happy with the packing job of the Walmart.com people.
