Believe me...I want to believe the partnership will work. Given though how many times Walmart has shit the bed on their own exclusives, and NECA'S own somewhat spotty record, it's hard to keep the faith. Look at how poorly Walmart has handled Mattel's, Hasbro's, and most recently McFarlane's exclusives. (Did anyone actually find that Spawn in stores? What a shit show that was.) Why should we believe Neca will be handled any differently?

Neca has done a lot better with Target than it has in the past with their distribution woes. Outside the Bebop and Rocksteady debacle, (which I thankfully found in that first released batch, but have only seen them once since then...) I have had no issue finding what I'm looking for when it's been released. I think a large part of the problem is in their store ambassador programs...they are responsible for the upkeep of those aisles one way or another, so either those folks are not doing their job, or alternatively,
they are, and Neca is not doing theirs.

Oh...you mean those Godzilla 2014, Robocop, and Terminator figures they were sticking in the sports card section next to the Pokemon cards, impulse items and all that blind bag nonsense? Seemed like a good spot to put them. Right where people would look for them...eh Walmart?
