Walmart 2022 TVC Clone Wars Micro Series

[Jeff]

Yeah, I was busy at the time they dropped.

Ditto.  Missed the only one I really cared about (Blue ARC). 

Nice that they don't have more "in stock" for preorders, you know to judge demand.

It's Walmart - even if they did that, they'd still find a way to screw it up, leading to tons of cancelled pre-orders... only to see the  same figure back up for pre-order later (#incineratortrooper)

Maybe WM.com is getting smart.  Maybe they are cancelling large orders since figures are starting to pop up as in stock again with max order of 1.

Edit:  I've only seen the Jedi and Battle Droid pop up though and they go out of stock and then back in.  It's a headache and a crap shoot.  Pretty much 1 thing goes out of stock before you can check out.  They add again, and something else is OOS.  I just got 4 figures in 3 orders... still haven't seen the ARC Troopers pop back up.

I ordered 2x Aayla, and one each of Luminara and Barriss. I already have the red Arc trooper.

[Rob]

Is the Red ARC Trooper the exact same as a previous release? 

Jeff did say Reissues and Repaints.  I suppose this is the part where I ask if we know what's new and updated, and what's a straight up re-release that I can skip...

Aayla - repaint of TVC figure
Barriss - repaint of 2014 orange/black card figure
Luminara - repaint of TVC figure
Red ARC Captain - re-issue (minus some accessories)
Blue ARC Trooper - repaint of TVC ARC Captain sculpt
Battle Droid - repaint of TVC sculpt

Red ARC Captain seems like just a re-issue, but it's hard to say until he's in-hand how different his deco and soft goods will be from the original TVC release.  Plus we haven't see pics without the helmet, so there could be something going on there too (like the helmet being glued in place and not removable or something).

All of them will probably fit into that "just different enough" category with new deco or soft-goods updates.

ARC Troopers back in stock!

EDIT: Everything is back in stock, so I placed one big order and am cancelling my small orders.

[Rob]

Thanks Jeff!  Based on what you’re saying, and that they’re back in stock, I just went ahead and ordered one of each. 

[Jeff]

Thanks for the heads up, Steve!

I grabbed the 2x Blue ARC Troopers I wanted and then 1x each on the Jedi. Not sure I really want/need the Jedi repaints but best to pre-order them now while I can and cancel later if I decide I don't really want them.

[Rob]

Is it weird that the Blue ARC Trooper is $13.99 and the rest are all $13.47?  Like, why bother?

[Matt_Fury]

They're all still available for pre-order.  I just ordered two of each!

[McMetal]

Both ARC Troopers are sold out. 

I finally got around to ordering the other four though.

So many incomplete victories today!

Wow.  Did I get the last two?   

I'm sure they'll pop up again.  Of course according to my order, these are scheduled to be released in March.  Plenty of time for Walmart to screw this up!

I’ve been traveling today.  I managed to order the Battle Droid and the three Jedi.  No luck with the ARC Troopers. 

[Jesse James]

I wound up with like 9 arc troopers by end of day ordered because I wasn’t sure who needed what.  Also 3 captains.  The captain seemed to be hardest to get but I just happened to have stepped out at work to get a drink and was in my car when a buddy texted me they were in stock again (was gonna count it as a loss and move on) and so got him too.  Only one I skipped was battledroid.

Walmart sucks, but I did get what I wanted...  it was more good timing than diligence though.
