My story for those who haven't read yet.

I feel that the geography of my state and the geography of the Walmarts has helped me immensely in my search for these figures as well as frustrate and puzzle me. I have been constantly checking the Walmart in my area. There are three Walmarts in my town all within 10-15 minutes from my apartment. One of them is right next to a distribution center. I have been searching for weeks on end for these figures. Approximately 2 and half weeks before May 28th. (The mod for the new Toys that included Dark Knight Rises and the Amazing Spider-Man figures.)

My fiance and I went to run errands in another town on Wednesday evening (May 30th) an hour and half away. After running our errands we stopped over at the nearest Walmart in that town. I went to the toy section. Nothing. The same stuff that is at my three Walmarts. Not even pegs for the 6 inch Avengers line. Stopped a nice associate and asked all the questions I could about the 6 inch Avengers figures. Gave her UPC codes, codes that appeared on a picture of a peg I saw on another site (The Fwoosh). They had one on hand. We went looking for it. Could not find it. We looked all over. I asked her to type it in once more and now the vectorscanner didn't list anything. I thank her for all her help. I began to walk away but I thought to myself, is the "1 on hand"= 1 box on hand? Hope was still there. I found the associate once more and then asked. I showed her a pic of the box and the figures inside. She went in the back to look for it. She came back...EMPTYHANDED.

I thanked her once more and like her I was empty handed. Hope was lost until the next morning

I woke up May 31st (Yesterday) and browsed on eBay for the nearest listing for these 6 inch Avengers figure and there was a listing of a Cap in another town. Luckily my fiance and I would be visiting that very town. Yes, back back to back errands but such is the life I have now. That town is about 15 minutes away from the town we did our first run errands on May 30th.

Yesterday evening (May 31st) we drove into the second town earlier than scheduled. Around 7pm. We stopped into the Walmart The Walmart has tons of figures. Tons! Three Hulks! I wish I took pics with my phone but I was so excited. I picked up Cap and Hawkeye. Came to a total of $33.55 I wish I could have picked up Hulk for you Arkers but I ended up dipping into my figure budget because my fiance forgot her purse the first night of doing errands (May 30th) and I bought her a swimsuit at the mall and had to pay for gas. I'll be returning to the same town Saturday (tomorrow) for more errands. So I'll stop by and pick up more if anyone needs any figures. I'll be getting more money before the weekend! If anyone needs any figs PM me and I'll send the figures over. Won't be asking for gas money since I'll have to be the second town already. I'm sure the figures will still be there. There were tons. TONS!





Unfortunately, I went to check again today at my three Walmarts and there was still nothing. Nothing. No 6 inch Avengers figures, only Dark Knight Rises figures, and Amazing Spider-Man figures. I would like to get a 6 inch Amazing Spider-Man figure but that's kind of iffy. I'm excited for the film but I don't know about getting a new Spider-Man figure if I can go ahead and find the original film series figures through trades.

I will be resuming my customs once I get my hands on Thor through trade or purchase here or retail and starting unpacking all my figures after the move. If the Walmart I went to has any Hawkeyes left I will pick him up. Going to need an extra for custom.

Don't give up the search! I almost did! Be resourceful Arkers! Don't be afraid to ask for help. Most importantly, think!
