MARINES ON THE SHELVES!

[admin]

GO GO GO!!!!!!!!

Goose was telling me he saw GMs all over the place at Target down at the bottom of the state, so I went to Walmart just now (here at the top of the state) and found GMs all over. They mis-packaged the cases, though, so McQuarrie TKs! WTF! But how they made up for the mis-packaging is awesome - MORE GMS! Me and another guy at Walmart cracked open all of the cases (at the protest of the workers, mind you), and found some cases with 3 per case, and some with 4 per case! So GMs everywhere! I only had the money to buy two and some milk.



One GM remains sealed as it above my bed. :B The other was opened immediately, shown here with Commander Bacara, and the gunner clone figure that is now dead to me (such a horrible figure). But it will sacrifice it's helmet and carbine. The carbine has replaced the evolutions rifle that came with the figure because the evo rifle is a total POS. What's irritating is that the airborne figures come with the good rifles! Gah! Oh well, I have TONS of the good rifles anyways, but my GMs carry CARBINES.





And here's where the helmet went. The Captain Ferin action figure is officially a work in progress! I won't start the actual figure mods (new ammo strap and ARC commpad on left gaunt) until I have more Marine figures, but until then I can work on a tiny RC pistol and the helmet paint job!

ONLY TWO !!!!!! AAHHHHHH!!!!!!!! LOL

Damn!! I just came from Wal-Mart and they had nothing! I even asked about them (like I always do when I go to a store) and they said they didn't have them yet. They will pay for their insolence...

Good find

My wife is at Walmart right now. I will see what she finds. I will also check Target tomorrow, since Target usually get the stuff before Walmart.

I also checked today and found pretty much nothing. I found a bunch of the 30th Anniversary Obi-Wans and an R2, but no troopers. It was at a toys'r'us.

MUWAHAHAHHA! I managed to nab a Marine! I found him at another Wal-Mart. The Target across the street had NO 30th anniversary figs at all. And I think Wal-Mart had the same problem as your Wal-Mart, no McQuarrie Stormies. Oh well, I'm just happy I have a Marine! Although I wish I had a carbine to give him, the long rifle sucks big time...

Went to Target today, they had Mace and R2. When I asked the folks working there to bring out a new case to runmmage thru they refused.

I'm done with this hunt...if I see one (or a few) I'll grab them, otherwise I'm done actively looking.

In my experience, Wal-Mart is a hell of alot friendlier than Target. Whenever I ask questions at Target, I never get an answer back, cause the employee will tell me they'll be right back, and never return. At Wal-Mart, when I asked about the 30th figs, they couldn't find anyone in back to ask, but kept looking until they did, when they could have just given up on the spot and told me that they didn't.

Plus, for me, Wal-Mart always has more stuff. Everytime I stop at Target they have about 5-6 figs, that's it. Wal-Mart always has 2 locations full of SW figs.

Mike, I hope you're able to find a few soon! I'll keep my eye out for any more Marines.

That's a crappy deal Mike! I know our Wal-Mart people got irritated that we were rummaging through their cases before they could open it, but they shouldn't refuse you.

I have been to 5 different Walmarts with ZERO luck. And NONE of them have any more figs in the back. I know 1 place that will have them but I dont want to spend $15+ on 1.

A friend of mine got a marine for me that he found at a target the other day. It was the only one they had (he said) and the dumba** stockers put the ONLY GM right up front. Duh. Oh well, it's mine and that's that. I have to say, you guys should check target. That's where I've been seeing more of the 30th anniversary figures.

Good call. Found 2. But there was a girl there with her brother and she was point to one on the back of an Airborne Trooper saying "I want one of these!" So I gave her one of the 2 I had in my hands. I didnt really need 2 anyway. So I got an AB trooper too.

No exclusives though.
