So as most of you can tell, I just found this incredible forum yesterday, and browsing the heaps of amazing collections last night, I got the bug to hunt, and got it bad.

I left the house after the wife and kids were asleep around 11:30, figuring I could make it to the Walmart down the street and back without any problems. This store has been low on Universe figures for a LONG time now, so I've been expecting a fat shipment any day now, but always assume it's going to be crappy instead of awesome.

They did not disappoint. Check out the pictures below of what they had in stock:

A torn Wolverine fig prominently on display:


An extremely confusing Clearance figure (same one, not on clearance, AND the clearance price is the same as the peg price!)


And an amazingly horrible paint job (is that Ketchup?) which is admittedly not their fault:


So since it was still before midnight, I thought I'd hit a few more Walmarts, since they are all-night around here anyway. I was constantly deeply discouraged until I hit the last one that was furthest from my house (~45 minutes). As you can see below, they had the entire X23 wave, with the Submariner variants that said Imperius Rex on the base, as well as tons of three packs, the latest two packs, AND the silver sentinel! I haven't seen any of the rest of these figures anywhere else in town, safe one small release of X23's wave at TRU last week. They even had some hard to find (for me) cap movie figures (which I didn't buy, since I'm not collecting them and they didn't look like they were selling well on eBay).

So it just goes to show that it's always the last place you look, and each Walmart is completely different from the last. One of the ones I went to had actually stopped carrying super hero action figures! It was a crazy, fun night, which ended around 2:30 am. Don't give up! The ones you want are out there!
