Wow, that Grenadier looks fantastic. I can't wait to see how that one makes its way into your SW Customs!

Chad, you are going to crap egg rolls on this one.

You know how every once and a while, a good deal will fall in your lap?

I went to a walmart on the way home today after I got rained out, looking for some new star wars or joe wave figures and found a few shock troopers and a couple of low-light figures on the pegs. Well, when I had them at the register to pay, i noticed on the customer facing read out that each one of em rang up as $2 each. Well, naturally, I paid for my purchase, grabbed a cart, went to the joe section, and proceeded to clean em out.

Here is the haul. The 3 wave 5 figs on the left rang up full price at $6.97 each but the 19 figs on the right "including a wave 5 infantry viper" rang up at $2 each.

4 shock troopers
2 low lights
2 skydives
1 infantry viper
2 alley vipers
4 beachheads
4 of the cool snake eyes with all of the guns

for $2 each. someone messsed up, me thinks.

I will throw these on the bay to make up for lost wages today......woot!
I noticed that low-light is going for $25-$30 each.

Hell of a nice haul, Clint!  I need to find that Blowtorch.  I saw the Croc Master, and think I need to pick him up when i see him again.

Congrats on that great score, Clint!

I would have loved to find an Alley Viper for $2, I have been wanting one of their heads for a project for awhile now but cannot pull the trigger on a $& figure just for the head :(

I know how you feel: I almost picked up the X-Men: First Class comic pack for the Jean Grey to make a Psylocke out of, but couldn't see spending $15 for a custom, especially when I don't already have that Jean Grey.

I went back the next day to see if they had restocked bit they hadn't so I took their stock of 6 remaining down to two left on the pegs.
For some reason, storm shadow from 3 waves ago was ringing up at full price so I left those two and grabbed 2 shoulder mount dukes and 2 jungle vipers for $2 each.

I hit up that same ww twice this week for a total of 29 more figures all ringing up at $2 each. They had restocked with figures from older cases that might have been in a stock room somewhere. Once again, 3-4 of their figures rang up as full price where the rest rang up as $2 each.

Dang Clint that is some good luck! I had some as well, found a Lava Pod with Lava Viper for $3 at TJ Maxx! Not excited about the pod but it will serve as custom fodder. The Lava Viper is an awesome figure with a really cool helmet and gear!
