Sentinel Debacle...

yeah they had four of them at my WALLY for 40$ a piece, went back today, none left...meaning I know they dropped again, and someone walked with all those glorious sentinels!

Dammit!

Don't be so sure. There was 7 of them at my Wallys last I checked and then the other day only one was left in a shopping cart the stocker used to move things for the reset. It still scanned at $40.

I think they will reappear in the clearance aisles.

Travis King · 03-10-2012, 10:59 AM

^I'm going to check around me today after reading this. I can always use an open one.

BigHanksCustoms · 03-10-2012, 12:43 PM

Well I made a quick run to Wally's and just like I had suspected the 7 Sentinels have returned on a clearance cart!

The price: still $40......

shortysben · 03-10-2012, 01:19 PM

I should have bought two, and just keep rechecking, to ensure I have two, but return them and then rebuy them when they are cheaper...

Iceman · 03-10-2012, 01:40 PM

don't see us getting $10 Sentinels up here. Both of mine were $40, which is a great deal up here. Just which I had one in classic colors, cheapest I've seen those here is $75.

bmorr · 03-10-2012, 02:02 PM

is it just a west coast thing to sell sentinels at wal mart? Just like the 6 inch exclusives, they dont sell 'em here either. New England as usual gets shafted and Bmorr doesnt get 10 sentinels. First World Problems indeed lol. At leasst we got wave 17 though!

I've seen the Wallys 6 inchers only one time at only one Wally

I just stumbled across Nick Fury for $7.40 at an out of the way WalMart just last week, so keep vigilant!

The only way to get a $10. Sentinel in new York is from a crackhead

mikefavata · 03-10-2012, 03:22 PM

If someone can make Wave 18 & 19 available now i'll trade them a MOC Hawkeye & Piledriver.

I even made a Wally manager get off his lazy ass and check to see if the discount would go any lower. I basically said, "I know people in about 6 different states that said these were marked down to $10, but here it is still $40. Thats a big difference, so can you check to see if they're going to see any further reductions?" He walked away for a few minutes and eventually came back said "They're not going to be marked down any further" so back to the aisle of over-priced crap it went.

giosclone · 03-10-2012, 03:35 PM

Since we're posting our Ultimates: I'm Missing a Hawkeye

quipp209 · 03-10-2012, 03:41 PM

WalMart is stupid. I'll bite on one Sentinel for $30, two for $20 each, but I'll buy all 7 @ $10. They can make 20-30 beans or 70, but noooooooo......

Symbiote · 03-10-2012, 03:57 PM

I haven't seen sentinel at any wallmarts here. There is only one wallmart that even carries MU but they don't have sentinels. TRU is the only place here where I've seen sentinels.

Lord Marvel: those pictures are awesome. Hawkeye's weapons are bitchin and that Hulk is a great scale. Keep em coming.

congrats on getting what you want... just sux that people get reamed for that hideous figure.

i swear sometimes i wish there was a Collector's Intervention.

Jason Abbadon · 03-10-2012, 05:19 PM

How does price matching with Wal Mart work? would they match a reciept for a $10 Sentinel?

I was wondering the same exact thing. I am going to take a screen cap of that receipt onto my phone and into WalMart.

Jason Abbadon · 03-10-2012, 05:22 PM

Hell yes!

tristam · 03-10-2012, 05:59 PM

Finally, Avengers Movie toys came out in my country and managed to get Ulti Thor and Hawkeye...most people are still buzzing about lack of articulation...

funny thing is, most of those are known MOC collectors! so i dunno whats their problem since they dont even open their figs..oh well..

can you tell me how you got rid of his backpack and how you got the arrow pack to stick?

mikefavata · 03-10-2012, 06:34 PM

Hey Jason, I was at Tate's last night. They've got like 3 Skrulls if you need 'em.

Picked up Hawkeye/Piledriver but more importantly Shocker Toys The Maxx & Scud: The Disposable Assassin. Gonna keep Maxx carded, that's my favorite toy ever made.

Speaking of which. I wish Hasbro would do an indie line for Marvel Universe like the ToyBiz Legendary Heroes line. 1:18/3-3/4" Invincible, Maxx, Mr. Gone, Madman, Scud, etc. would be fucking awesome.
