Same here- that lame Wolverine seems to be this ste's peg warmer.
XMO body with a new head- the head is very accurate to the first appearance but still pretty cheesy IMHO.

I picked up an extra Apocalupse if anyone needs him- if not I'll return him for...er...store credit? Maybe a Crisis soldier to mod into a sHIELD soldier...something.

Along with the usual Modern Thors and assorted IMs, they had 2 Jessica Drews and 2 Spidey 2099s at my Wal-Mart yesterday.

I was like "Damn. Just missed 'em".

Wal-Marts in the Midwest were hooked up with 2-3 Taskmaster/Deadpool comic packs per store. I picked up one for me and my buddy Matt (who should just post of this board already) but I left the others on the shelf so someone else could pick them up. Not that I wasn't tempted to get more, but that would definitely kill my karma.

Shit, I should be more specific. I have found one for me and my friend, and one more Monday morning (one for me to open). Then together we accidentally found three more at a random Walmart Monday afternoon, but neither of us were comfortable with buying them because we felt like we were lucky enough as it is, and someone else should get a shot at finding them. Then soon after I found Don "Donkey Punch" Kong at a Kohls, so it was a good day indeed.

Be patient, and keep an eye out for when Walmart gets deliveries in your area. They weren't happy about it, but once I figured out the Cap America release date (thank you ToyArkers) I knew when to hang out in that god awful hellhole, and around 2 am I scored a few Cap America figures and the Taskmaster/Deadpool (holygrail of figures). This wasn't exactly Wave 13 related, but its good info to have. And...... GOOD LUCK SIR!

DAMN.

They still did not stock the comic two packs either- two more empty racks!
WTF?!? That store was so on the ball with the revision sets too!

A question on the cap line- is there a 6, 9 or 12" Cap figure? If so i NEED that fora Super Adaptoid custom!

same here my local target has two BULLSEYES & 4 AIM SOLDIERS & They have a buinch of the secret wars packs for anybody looking to buy them & they only have the 1st wave of the CA figures

Still no wave 13 here same goes for the two-packs... Makes me want to go to Wal-Mart and Target and beat the snot out of whoever is in charge of ordering figures.

They had sheets on the pegs and I read them and it said something about MU Two-Packs and MU basic figures. Does that mean that they have them and they just haven't been stocked? Also if it that is the case and when I go back tonight and they have a bunch of Secret Wars shit and some more fucking BE Iron Men. I am going to postal and destroy every single MU figure there where they have to order more and leave a note that says ORDER NEW SHIT DAMN YOU THINK OF THE COLLECTORS FOR ONCE

afgoosett · 05-18-2011, 12:32 PM

Would someone please enlighten me. When the pegs at Wal-Mart have sheets on them saying what goes where it means they're restocking and that's to show whoever is stocking where to place the new merchandise right?

Or does it mean they're just re-organizing the toy aisle and that's to show them where to move the old shit that nobody wants?

If it's the latter I've been going to my Wal-Mart the past three days for jack shit because I thought it meant they had new shit in and they were about to put it out.

It's a little of both. The sheets mean that the aisle is going through a "reset." Every area that has one is being reorganized for any of these reasons: to consolidate the stock after clearance sales are over, to accommodate a new toy line and/or the re-branding of an existing line (e.g. from Cars to Cars 2).

Most likely the ones you saw were probably prepping for the release of DOTM and Captain America toys. Both officially dropped on 5/16/11. Keep in mind, it doesn't mean they have the actual stock in yet. The stores get those reset diagrams from corporate.

The sheets should be labeled, so you can usually tell what's going to end up where, even if they haven't changed the shelf tags yet.

The Target near me actually put up a separate sign that basically read "This is where the DOTM toys are going and, no, you can't have them yet." On Monday, the sign was down and replaced by toys.
