Although the woman who used to run the department could do it with either. (I was going to go find her if the new department manager couldn’t help me) luckily I still had the one from my first Duke on my phone. So she looked them up with that.

The first Walmart I went to gave me the runaround. I know they had the display, they just didn't want to go get it. That's fine, but tell me a lie I can respect. Like the department manager will be here in the morning and it's too late to pull anything from the back. Don't tell me you know you didn't get it, because I know you did. No big deal, the second store had it on a pallet and an employee opened up for me. I got the Destro I wanted and a Duke because I felt guilty having the employee open it up just for me to buy one figure. Amazon sent me Snake Eyes a couple weeks ago.

Any news on the Retros? These Classified figures do nothing for me.

Struck out at three Walmarts where BS said they were in stock yesterday, so I tried three more today. I almost went down swinging again until the last one. There was a nice little old lady stocking shelves, and I saw she had a cart full of boxes parked down by the end of the aisles. I meandered down and noticed that the Joe sidekick was on the bottom of the cart.
I asked her if I could get that box opened up, and she said if I didn't mind helping her unload the cart to get it off I could have whatever I wanted. I told her no problem, and proceeded to unload and neatly stack up the boxes that were there. She opened the box and we pulled the display out and I said hug it and grabbed one of everybody. I was going to try to stop myself from going all in, but who am I kidding...it's Joe...so I'm down.
I asked her if she wanted me to restack her cart and she said no, I had placed the boxes neatly enough, plus it would motivate her to get everything on the shelves. I laughed and we parted as old friends.

Finally found these at Walmart this afternoon, was happy to see they actually had them out on display instead of having to ask

Yesterday the Joe sidekick was full when I stopped in during my lunch, but today it was empty and I asked if I could have it. I usually don't care about this sort of thing, but last night I was thinking, "damn, I wish I had the display." Here it is in the backseat of my car:

Well I found the whole set today. Only grabbed Snake Eyes & Destro though. Mostly because I like their looks the most. I've been waiting a LONG time for larger Joes, so I was excited to crack these open.
It pains me to say this but... meh.
I'm not sure if they're all like this or if I got a defect, but my Snake Eyes is very gummy/wobbly. Best way to describe it is, he feels like his O-ring is hanging on by a thread. (I know you know what I mean) Looks good, but feels kinda cheap.
I do wish SE had a bit more color in the grenades and wish the blades were silver. But those are minor nitpicks.
I like the Destro much more. Mask looks cool and the outfit is very close to the original look.
I was hoping to fudge them on my Neca TMNT/DC shelf, but it's not gonna happen. Not sure where to put them now.

Did you want it because of the debate over on the Fwoosh? Lol, I read those posts afterwards. Some of the controversies over there are very amusing. I would never have walked out without asking first like the guy on fwoosh who placed it on the bottom of his cart.

Yeah some of those posts/responses were quite amusing. lol marino13 from what I’m reading (Along with owing SE) the drop hips seem to be “off” on his. I have all but Scarlet from series 1 and he’s the only one with the hip issues. But that’s why I hate drop hips on figures.

I usually don't care about this sort of thing, but last night I was thinking, "damn, I wish I had the display." Here it is in the backseat of my car: Just out of curiosity, did they just give it to you or did you have to buy it? I’ve heard of both happening with various things. The main reason I’m curious is because the company I work for often does those for our products and I’ve seen some of the invoices. They are ridiculously expensive for what they are. Granted most of the cost is in the design and the space in the store, but sometimes I’m like “We’re paying this much for what’s essentially a box?”

I’ve got Snake Eyes and have Storm Shadow on preorder.
I plan on picking up another figure on my way home from work if my Walmart still has them. Just trying to figure out who I should get next. As much as I want to, I can’t get the whole line, gonna have to be a bit picky with these.

Honest opinions please, I moved some stuff around, and added Prime (and put Krang beside them) to see if I can fudge these in.... I'm on the fence on whether or not I think it works. Typically I'm a scale nazi with my shelves.
