So I've been known to cover some half a dz WalMarts (especially since my wife works at one), a Target, a Books A Million, and a TRU along and south of the I-20 corridor on a semi-regular basis.
Books a Million?? Yup - the one in Monroe has several boxed sets of the "Crucible" Crimson Guard trainees at, iirc, $40. Bit much for the two new heads I want, altho four sets of training fatigues and helmets wouldn't be bad.
TRU - as I noted in Clint's thread on the Scramble on Yavin battlepack, the Monroe TRU had one of them. They also had 3 Jabba sets and 1-2 ATTE Assault sets. These all disappeared within a 5-day window. They do have about 3 of the Clones and Droids BattleFront II sets. They also had 2-3 big-wing TIEs - I'm really liking them! Someone stole the exclusive pilot out of one...wonder if they'd sell it to me at a discount.
WalMart - Tioga - not one I normally hit up, but I may start. There's a BigK (KMart) at the same intersection, so it could be a profitable run. There's another TRU in that area, as well as other WalMarts. So, this particular WalMart - as noted elsewhere - was virtually BARREN of figs - maybe two dozen at the most and they were skinnies or older waves (Sndstorm Han etc). HOWEVER! They had empty pegs in place and labeled for the $12.96 SW EU FIG - or something very close to that.
WalMart - Winnfield - small town store, doesn't see a lot of movement of stock. Which is good, as I need to pick up several figs from earlier waves - I'm talking SAGA waves. Their comic-pack pegs were barely populated, but the basic fig pegs are literally crammed to the limits as of today. If only they'd do a real clearance sale...
Speaking of, the last clearance sale I saw on SW figs at an area WalMart covered the wave with Ak-Rev and they marked them down to $5. Clearance?? tchaaa...tell me another one!
I'll try and check the Monroe/West Monroe WalMarts and Target on Monday. See if they have anything NEWsworthy.
