War Machines are hard to find due to the EXTREMELY LIMITED status and being EXCLUSIVE TO WALMART. I got mine from different stores only choosing the ONLY THE BEST ONES !!! Left the others so someone can get them.

I think californian can add Sacramento in the list. I have been to four cities today: Sacramento, Dixon, Vacaville and Fairfield. Guess what? I only found 2 WM & Mark VI at Fairfield. Sacramento only got a few Mark VI left. Dixon & Vacaville got nothing. I don't know if they put them into the warehouse but they are very limited.......

Called up Walmart today 15 miles from my house, I gave the girl on the phone the UPCs and asked her to check the system for them, and she told me they had them. I go there.. Nothing..

Update here in this topic. I checked a few stores as mentioned and some show NOTHING in their system while others show limited amount. I checked a few different stores super and reg Walmarts. This one particular store has 48 quantity on order. And guess what ??? They got 1 CASE. While a few other stores ordered 1-2 cases and GOT NOTHING !!! So the point is that these are MORE LIMITED as originally projected. Of those stores, none of them have plans to re stock and this line has been discontinued. This will be a ONE SHOT DEAL.
If Walmarts only got 1-2 cases then the Iron Man 2 6" would have poorer distribution than the TRU Arcee/Ratchet wave. I highly doubt that Hasbro would make so little of something that would be as popular as Iron Man 2. I'm pretty sure that the figures are reaching saturation in Canada, so it'll only be a matter of time in the US. |

Guys...I'd take his word with a bit of...skepticism. On TFW2005, this guy is a notorious scalper from California. If I was a scalper the best way to increase interest in an item is to make it seem like theres gonna be less of it. Case in point, a collector wouldn't by 7 of the same figure...unless they were going to sell them when the price went up.

I agree when I saw his list I thought it was a joke I mean hottoys the guys insane. Ive remained positive in seeing them in stores just gotta be patient. I wouldn't be surprised if he was a scalper with that kinda trade list and buying so many figures.

These replies are funny. The guys are complaining because you DO NOT have any. The fact is I have the goods and if you have my wanted we can deal. Quite simple. No need for this BS posting that detracts from original intent of this thread. I even helped you guys out by giving FULL BACKGROUND on this subject. I will not even do that from now on. We will see if the Walmart Dept Managers are lying or not. Time will tell.

not judging you man but when you ask for a hot toys figure that's almost $200.00 for one Hasbro war machine that's a little ridiculous I mean I don't think anyone would go for a trade like that.

I got my one and one MISB, getting 7 is downright ridiculous. It's people like you why they're hard as hell to find IF their local store even gets them. Minus your personal figure that's five to six bummed out kids or fans. How does your BS, overpriced want list contribute to the original intent thread? Looks like you are posting to profit Pretty sad if anyone does take you up on it, they're crazy for doing so. |

What I said earlier is the TRUTH from Walmart Dept. Managers unless they are lying or have no clue about on how to check UPC's. Which I highly doubt. I do not need to get anyone to panic to buy from me. I have SOLD a lot of items locally here with NO PROBLEM. These will sell/trade regardless due to the limited numbers. Nothing is ridiculous when I have something people want and I post my wanted list up. If they have what I need then a deal is cut. If not, no problem. Just do not reply or no contact. There is no BS here. Just fact. Also, where in my posting does it mention money ??? You guessed right. NONE !!! How is there profit made when NO money is EXCHANGED. Nothing is more sad when you do not have figure you need. Last edited by fordjuse; 04-28-2010 at 01:39 AM.. |

Oh wait, no I don't! Because one of those items goes for about $200 and the other goes for $12.96. If anybody is dumb enough to make that trade (or any of the outrageous trades you listed) and you get something worth $200 for something that costs just over a tenner, that's called making a profit. It seems almost like the logic you'd read in a ransom note, actually. Quote:
And you know people can read every post you've made, right? When you go through and every single last one basically says "I have [X rare figure], this is my list of demands..." it's pretty obvious what's going on. Yet here you are rabidly denying it. Sad. I'm all for the pitchforks. As for actual post content: I noticed there's at least one other poster on here from Utah, have you found anything yet? Nothing up here in Logan so far, I've been checking the two Wal-Marts in town every couple days, although I was at one of them getting a few things at 2-ish this morning and there were a bunch of boxes around the toy aisles. I'm not worried though, if it gets to late next week there's still nothing, then maybe I'll start worrying a little. |

It seems almost like the logic you'd read in a ransom note, actually. Spoken like a true opportunist. This is just gross. You've got something people want and (for now) is semi-rare so you drum up a bunch of fake panic so that you can attempt to extort what YOU want from a bunch of people who (hopefully for you) think they don't have a chance of getting it anywhere else. And you know people can read every post you've made, right?

Limited one time release. This from Toy Dept Managers themselves. There is none that show up after shipment they got. Also, system does NOT SHOW anymore coming. Good Luck Guy. Back to the subject of this War Machine. No more finding since I posted. Checked stores all the same story. No more stock and none on the way. |

And action figures, being a physical item of sometimes substantial cost, would fall under the category of tangible assets; when one of lesser value is traded for one of much greater value, you are seeing a net gain on the worth of those assets and is thus considered to be profit. When someone's stock holdings increase in value, they're still making a profit even though representatives from the companies aren't walking up to them and ramming cash into their pockets. Guess that little scalping business you've got going on didn't come with any knowledge of economics, did it? Everyone can see your posts and it's clear what you are. Your opportunism and insane attempts at trades wouldn't be welcome at any forum I've seen or frequent.
