After hearing about the Walmart y wing siting in TX yesterday, I went to Warsaw's Walmart this morning in hopes of finding something new. They hadn't restocked since
My last visit and had the same batch of cw figs that they had a month ago. No clones whatsoever, no redemption forms, and certainly no clone cash. There isn't even a slot for the arc170 on the shelf. They do have the red and white boxed vader's tie, both anakin and ONI jsfs, the vulture droid was there as was the magna guard fighter.

I arranged their slim selection of figures so that 5 pegs had no figures at all in hopes that some slack stockman would bring out some more.

Folks, most Walmart stores have suggestion boxes up by their service desks. I suggest we stuff em with our product wants.

I have tried that before Clint. I don't think it got em any results, but it is a good suggestions. I too will somtimes make some open peg slots in hopes they will fill em. Sometimes my stockers show thier laziness by putting just one fig per peg so they don't have to get more out. I wish I had new toy department folks in my wally world.

I have tried the suggestion box and the re positioning of products all to no avail.
4 pegs 8 figs deep of Yarna'd'al Gargan(Fat MAMA as my son calls her) and 2 pegs 8 deep of Breha Organa.... thats about it. A few transformers SW ships and lots of lightsabers.

That sounds pretty much what my Toysrus used to look like.

I have been scouting this week for some of the new stuff that has been hitting. Yesterday, I hit both state line road Target and Walmart stores and didnt find anything new. Walmart had some comic packs on clearance for $9.
Today, I hit Lee's Summit Target and while their SW section had nothing new, on an endcap, I found two of these Red 2 x-wings.
I used a $5 clone cash note to help with the $50 price tag of this one.

Man I can't wait to get that thing! I probably shouldn't (ought to be saving money), but I think I have some graduation monies lying around without a purpose... Definitely need some ships from the original trilogy. Man, aside from the speeder bikes I actually don't think I have ANY original trilogy ships! Blasphemy!

Pretty sharp looking package, buddy. I figured you might be swayed.
Wait till you hear what I picked up today.

Today in a Manhattan KS Walmart they had lots of newer CW figs and Legacy figs in Red..... an end cap of near 100 figs.
After lots of picking through every single fig there, I finally found a Cad Bane and a Denal that were nice and minty. Every other fig they had were ones they had multiples of before... Space BDs and SBDs 41st troopers and ARF troopers and SpaceClones and the like.
Oddly enough they had no more Yularen figs (which I wanted about 2 of ).
And after a little more looking I did find CW two packs.... but they were the Rex and Cody 2 packs(which I got nice and minty too)....
But none of the Thire and Yoda 2 packs( which I wanted most).
No new comic packs.  that was upsetting.  just a few Sunber packs and Squidhead pilot packs.
I packed all this loot real carefully in the car, and then went with the family out to eat and later right home.
To my dismay, when we got home I discovered that the nice minty packages werent so any longer...
Now I guess I have to open them.....
Kind of not a good thing now.... this is our 9th wedding anniversary today and I have been waiting on opening a lot of new stuff....
Tonight is not to be that night.
I did get and open a new CW Kit Fisto bought on ebay for $4 shipped, so that will have to be enough for now.
I can check if they have any more of these later(like a few days), but there were only 2 each Rex and Cody packs and 1 each Bane and Denal that others were checking out as I left.

Dana, would you consider a trade of the two packs that I found with rys, thire, yoda, and the other clone for the cody and rex two packs found at your store? I am going to look for more of those tomorrow.
  And do they need to be minty?
 I have been seeing the yularen around. Are you wanting those and need they be minty also?

finally found a geonosis assault bp at Tru, today. They only had one and I need at least two. Got that neat promo clone commander manual for free for spending more than $30. Yes, I picked up a at-te assault squad also.

Then, at the blue ridge walmart, I seen a turbo tank on clearance for $85 and the Rebel pilots III evo pack on clearance for $20. This store is clearance crazy, i think.
