It may take a week, or a few weeks, but as long as you're watching it, you know where the new case is going to hit next.

Easier said than done, I know. Walmarts are notorious for not giving your money back right away, and the cost of 'floating' 5 figures for up to a week isn't all that small of an investment either. Then, there's always the possibility that you can't check the store due to restock in time to catch the new restock, and someone else swoops in on your hard work.

I can't say it always pays off, but it does often enough to keep trying...
Nice trick there. For me its difficult to hover over a store when I'm constantly traveling on the weekends. When my schedule calms down I may have to do this. I do really appreciate the tip though and I will put it to good use in the future.

Nice concept. You should pick up the DoA girl figures. They are the same scale as MU.

Yup. For some reason, Wallmart is the haven for strange people. Where do they all come from?

Nice shot. Love the lighting. I would suggest using those clear rubber bands on the end and move up the board so that the tail end is twisted at the end of the ice slide. If you notice, there is a little pocket at the end of the ice slide where the board's tail can sit a little more flush.

MY SUBMISSION

in a rare Avengers Assemble moment; Captain America receives his famous nickname after losing his sheild earlier in the battle
Sweet pic there. My fav is the Hulk taking down a sentinel on the roof and Hawkeye hanging around. Great display there.

Found the 6 in the back at a lcs for $3/each.
OMG, those are freakin sweet. What toyline are those from? You should throw in Red Hulk in there. I was working on a display like that but those icemen clones you got are bitchin.

And someone PLEASE appreciate this one because it took forever to do. So tedious.
Nice photowork there. I like the crossover you got going on with BP and DD against Cobra.
Also, the colors look very vibrant in that last shot. Very cool and all really great figures too!
