I keep seeing reports of these showing up, and my order just says delayed.

Anyone else hear anything different?

They probably put all of ours out in the shelves.

Same here.  Is this another round of preorder them when they first went up only for Walmart to cancel them?

Got a shipping notice for this this morning.

Do we know if this Mando and Grogu is any different than previous releases, or did they just convince me to buy another one for a couple of spiders?

Mando - VC166 with Season 2 armor updates = new knee/leg armor (aka reworked legs) plus snowy deco repaint
Grogu - supposed to be a new headsculpt according to Hasbro; snowy deco on body

Ah, so just different enough for dupes who collect how I do.  I'm starting to think Hasbro is onto me.

Got my shipping notice for this.... and also for several other preorders.  My wife is going to give me the evil eye with all these individual figures showing up over the next week.

Mine arrived today.  And both in really good condition!  Shocking for a Walmart exclusive.

If someone got theirs mangled by Walmart and wants to trade a non-mint Mando & Grogu for a mint one, LMK.

I ordered two of these thinking I'd get some extra spiders and sell or trade the Mando, and they only sent me one.  I chatted with them, they said it was an error and they could only offer a refund.  Oh well! 

Also, it was crushed.

Ah, Walmart.  Always an adventure on shipping.

I saw on Twitter someone who ordered FOUR of them hoping to get a boxed shipment and of course WM crammed all 4 into a large padded mailer bag so all 4 arrived damaged.  Then another Twitter user who ordered one to open, which was shipped in a box and arrived mint because of course that's what happened.

I am still waiting on the FedEx to bring me mine...

I got 2 today neither in mint condition, but 1 I can live with.  Apparently, shippers have never played Tetris and only know how to box them front to back instead of face to face.

Mine came padded in a box large enough to fit the toy.   Its super mint, logically, because I'm an opener...

Very happy to get these. My two also came in a larger box with air packets. Cardback is thick though one is dinged on a corner. Will open both this weekend.

Did we really pay ~$27 for each? :o

Ditto - correctly sized box, filled with air pillow padding.  Arrived nice and minty and here I'm just going to rip it open.

The box I got was plenty large, undamaged... and there were a few air packets in there too.  I'm assuming mine was crushed before it went into the box.  I opened it anyway, so no big deal.

Mine showed up today and I'm really happy with them.  They showed up in good condition and it didn't look like they drove over the box with the truck!   ;D


My review and comparison.
This is the way.
