I'll buy one, but it would be nice if they'd sell a 5 pack of the bugs...

I'm probably good for three of these, at least.  The two figures are cool, but I'm really excited about the spiders.  But the price tag stings a little bit.

Yeah, I don't want to spend $25+ for a spider and extra Mando's.

While waiting, I preordered the deluxe figures again just in case my earlier order is cancelled and purchased two darksabers for my kids (they are on rollback right now).

Wasn't the original posting of the Walmart TVC mando pack similar to this? I feel like it didn't post until around 4pm central time even though it was announced for noon central time.

I bought two in hopes of assuring at least 1 nice card (no guarantees, obviously), but I can sell you my extra if you don't find a local.

Same!  But then it seems like it's not quite as bad as Amazon listing that Black Series Deluxe TBOBF Boba Fett, and the estimated delivery date was a few days BEFORE the listing even went live.

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

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.

Mando Kries Mando’s are marked down to $15.90 on Walmart.com.

At that price I just bought three sets of extra spiders and figure I can sell the Mando’s later.
