Thats pretty funny.

I walk into this "new to me" Walmart, and just like every other Walmart I've been to, the toy section is in the complete opposite end of the building as the entrance, but that's another story. So I'm making my way towards the wing of this giant store that has toys and just as I hit mile marker two, I see pallets with boxes,.. lots of boxes,.. so I kick it into high gear. Then I get there and it's all juice and lotions and TP and what not. "Fuck! What a waste!" But wait,.. "what's that noise.. it sounds like wheels rolling across the floor... is that another pile of boxes? Hmm.. probably more TP. These people need a lot of TP.. and diapers, but let me go check anyway." So I walk towards the noise and as I turn the corner I see those toy looking boxes on the pallet that's being brought out. "OMG!" I panic.. I power walk over to the pallet as the guy is wheeling... they are toys... and "is that????? Avengers.. STUDIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Of course this box is in the middle, towards the bottom, of a giant stack of boxes. So I wait for the dude to drop it and leave. "How do I get this case out without making a scene? Shit! A fat dude is approaching... he's looking right at the pallet! Oh no!" I reach in and just Jenga that shit right out of the pile.. fat boy is now here, but I'm holding the case. Ready for this... I turn the opposite way as him and dart off. I go flying down an aisle looking for a safe place to open this case... he comes after me... "WTF!" He's literally power-walking parrallel to me an aisle down... so it's that peek a boo walk thing where someone is going the same pace as you.. only this is intentional,.. and intense.

I have my three figures and I'm out.. I run to checkout, scan scan scan swipe.. boom.. I'm out. I just raided that Walmart like a boss.

If you're reading this, man who lost to me this evening,.. you lost to a better man tonight.

This should have been filmed, sir.

[FrankCastle]

That sounds like something from a Kevin Smith flick OV!

I really should have thought better. I would have grabbed that Hulk for you. I wasn't thinking straight I'm really sorry. You were really flexible and what do you get in return. Me not thinking! I'll be there in that town tomorrow again running errands with my fiance. If I pick him up. I'll ask for the Cap too. anything else you need?

[FrankCastle]

It's all good Helix.

[Helix326]

My pick up from yesterday guys. Update! Don't give up hope!

[wolverine2281]

Still need Hulk and Hawkeye

[Helix326]

Only temporary fix for the shield. It's not as bad as everyone says but I would still like The First Avenger shield if anyone has a spare or wants to part with it.

The first avenger shield doesn't fit over Modern Caps forearm/glove armor very well.

More for aesthetics...resuming my customs once my fiance and I start unpacking from our move.

[LORD MARVEL]

What i did was jus cut the damn straps where it fits nice and snugg and super glued it. Boom!

Again, temporary fix. The straps aren't too bad. I'm fine with it. I'll get into all that once I start unpacking all my figures. Can't wait to start customizing once more. Still would like the First Avenger shield though...

Don't give up the search everyone!

[T16skyhopp]

I'm okay with the straps, I just tuck them in when its on his arm. Its not great, but its fine. Do wish the shield was a bit bigger though. I guess they didn't go with the clip/peg b/c he has no hole on his back because of the star. But it still seems odd that Hasbro would tool 3 different Cap shields in the past year's worth of toys.

Thanks, man. I'm not sure I'm proud of myself, being that I'm 34 years old and ran through a Walmart for toys, but hey,.. it was me or that dude,.. it's not like there were kids there looking for these.

..so fuck 'em.

Yeah, it was some scene. I left some things out to keep it short, but that guy actually told on my too... I saw him grab an employee and start pointing in my direction.. I'm like the Wonder Bread version of Usain Bolt, though.

Anything is possible, but I'm willing to bet those Hulks won't be around when you go back. Three WM's by me ended up getting a case in last night (I actually knew of this and is why I scored last night). After I scored mine at a WM that closes at 10, I stopped into a 24 hr WM, knowing if they did get the expected case in, they were likely already picked over, but what the hell.. it's right around the corner from my house. So this picture here is one WM last night, I did the same thing to the one I hit, and the third was also a 10 pm closer, so I didn't get to stop until this morning on my way in from work... Hulk, HE, and Loki, were gone at 7:30 am this morning when I stopped in (a Cap, Thor, and 2 IM).

WM #2..



..what's lying next to the empty case is one Cap, Thor, and IM.

[SH0CKWAVE]

Wow, OV... what a story. Def something out of a movie. Plus the above pic makes the whole endeavor that much more vivid to us readers. That's like some LA Riots type shit.

Wicked.
