Here is my two cents as a former Walmart manager. First, as someone already mentioned, inventory is updated once a truck is checked in and received. Trucks are coded as received in the system and stock numbers update based on the invoice and what is supposedly on the truck. Obviously numbers can be wrong but most of the time they are accurate. Walmart is not holding these in the back room to inventory later. Second, anyone who says they found these already in store have yet to post pics. None on eBay either so likely not found yet at least by most people. Third, the people claiming they saw boxes and an associate opened them so they could see the contents sounds incredibly stupid. How many people on here have even had an associate go look in the back for anything at Walmart let alone open a case and show you what’s in it just to say you can’t buy it. I tend to believe these are still in transit, people saying they bought them are lying (until I see pics), and most people will be disappointed come tomorrow. If I am wrong and you have them post pics as proof and I’ll eat my words. Otherwise stop with the BS and rumors. I respect that you know a lot about the inside functions of Walmart, and I wont take anything away from that. But I have firsthand seen a case opened up at my local Walmart, no BS. I told the young lady stocking the shelves that I believed they would ring up since they were supposed to be out around the first of the month. I asked if she would go look for me and see what she could find. She brought out two boxes and said "are these what youre looking for?" And it was. She said she couldnt let me take them because they were sitting on top of a toys pallet that had not been yet scanned into the system to put out on the floor for their reset. She said she recommended coming back later in the week as thats about the timeframe they were behind. Now whether or not this young lady was telling me the incorrect info Im not able to say, but this is my experience. I saw two cases in person yesterday morning. There were no Brandi figures in either. Thats all I can say, I didnt argue with the employee and beg her to let me buy the figures, and I didnt want to get her in trouble by taking pics.

Walmart currently scans nothing into inventory, we did at one point, roughly 20 years ago. Secondly, according to every Walmart tracking screen, prenotification report and the distribution center, these come in cases of 6, not 8.

Do they show up on brickseek in your area that you found them? that's the real question

Assuming we have the right number to use in Brickseek (which I think we do as evidence of a store or two showing some on hand), I would tend to trust Brickseek. Until my area updates I won’t be hunting. If I miss out I’m sure I’ll catch a restock. One small tidbit to keep in mind, Brickseek can be weird. When I was hunting down the ghostbusters plasma series and classic ghostbusters there were literally about 5 different skus that all worked. Some said out of stock when they clearly had stock on hand and some said instock with none on hand. Hopefully these figures will all fall under one sku the way the Mattel figures do.
