Yeah, that could very well be.
I'm not gonna let myself believe I won't see them, they're movie toys, those are almost never that hard to find.

If the movie comes and goes after a few months and I still don't see them, then maybe I'll worry.

No need to give up just yet.

Just because a Wal Mart employee tells you something, you can't be sure the information is accurate, believe me, they will say anything to get you to go away, and make their life easier.

Target, different story, if you have a DCPI number, they can find (or not find) the items. They equip all their employees with stock knowledge and keep a tight inventory and back room, they know exactly what shelf it's on if they have it. Any of the employees that have access to a scanner gun can do it.

With Wally World, it seems most of them don't know how to search for stock, or even operate the dang scanner gun...unless you happen to get someone in charge of that area.

If you do give up, I recommend making friends and asking someone to hook you up, just I would recommend offering a little extra on top of cost plus shipping, $3-5 gas money to show that person a thank you for their time, effort, and gas money is more than reasonable, and now you have someone who both looks out for you, and in return, you look out for them, if it is possible for you to do so.

win/win

I have made a lot of friends by doing this myself.

I will buy at least a couple extra of each when I find them.

And thanks to those of you who already do this
