Does the Walmart Neighborhood Market sell toys? Do they carry the Marvel Universe line?

I've seen some DC and Thor figures at both Walgreens and Smith's (Grocery store), I'm just wondering if this store should be on my hunt list.

Has anyone made a definitive store hunt list for MU characters?

If it's beyond Walmart, Target, Toys R Us, and Ross, that's more than I know of.

(As far as I've heard, no one has ever found anything at Marshall's).

Grocery stores occasionally carry Marvel Universe - in the South, they are sometimes at Kroger.

I work for a Kroger offshoot, but most of our suburban stores don't seem to carry anything. I saw Infinite Heroes and MU at one of the bigger ones once, but that was it. =/

Rite Aid pharmacies. The figures cost a bit more than they should, but rare ones pop up there sometimes and it's still cheaper than ebay.

Kroger also has delicious microwavable cheeseburgers. A staple in my diet.

I've seen Thor figures at Rite-Aid. It's a drug store.

I picked up my Constrictor and long wing Archangel at a CVS pharmacy. Price was steep, but gas saved equalized it.

That IM2 wave has been at Tuesday Morning stores. I picked up a Comic Whiplash there.

When I was on vacation in New Mexico they had IM2 figures (Mandarin, and a random movie armor) and the Deadpool/Taskmaster & SilverSamurai/patch two packs at a grocery store called Albertsons. We have them down here in FL too but I haven't seen any MU or 3.75 Marvel figs here yet.

Of course Ross is hot right now for that final IM2 comic series wave.

I think so. That's another Kroger-owned store... I work for a few of my area's Kroger store called QFC, but we never get stuff like that. Too bad.

So I need to try the Rite Aids, CVS's, and Albertsons now as well. (Since I'm in New Mexico).

We have Walgreens all over the place, but the first one I checked only had one Thor figure. Sad.

In California, some Lucky's carry MU, but definitely not all of them.

It's weird that you guys keep finding MU in grocery and drug stores, because that has never happened to me. Also, we really need to stop calling them "drug" stores. It confuses the poor drug addicts.

I said the same thing. Guess they couldn't get rid of him. I actually went in there hoping for a Blade cause my friend had said he seen them at CVS before.

I know your in Alb. but I saw them in the Albertsons in Santa Fe on Zarafano. They had IM2 Mandarin, and a slew of DP/TM and SS/patch two packs!

That's where I found mine, and my Constrictor.

Sadly however, I paid the premium "druggie store" price of $10.99

I think that's their default price for cool toys. I've seen some Scout class TFs there for the same price.
