Are More WalMarts Joining the Fun?

[MasterJailer]

Now that Wave 9 is hitting Walmarts, the exclusive five pack is out, and the WM exclusive Wave 10 is on the horizon, are more Walmarts picking up DCUC? Is WM making this line more available?

 

Once upon a time, all I could find at a Walmarts were the scraps of DCSH. Then there was nothing. When Wave 5 hit, I found ONE Walmart that carried them and it wasn't in my area. Mattel has insisted that the new exclusives, particularly the upcoming Wave 10, were going to be more available as more and more WM's picked up the line.

 

I have two Walmarts in my area. Both carried tons of that Batman movie stuff and nothing else relating to DC. Now they're finally getting rid of that Batman stuff, most of which appeared to have rotted there, but it doesn't look as if they're adding DCUC.

 

What is everyone else finding?

[darthfoley]

I haven't seen any in my area pick up the line since the earlier on this year. I have 6 WM's within 'reasonable' driving distance; before Feb-March or so none of them carried DCUC. 2 of them picked up the line then. The rest have made no change.

[Draven79]

None of my local WM's carry them, one did for a few weeks before a remodel a few months ago, but then took the shelf space away for them and clearanced them out. I had to drive about a hour to get wave 5. I was in a pretty big town yesterday and 3 of the 4 WM's i visted actually had them. SO we shall see. Of course it was all old stuff.

My part of New Jersey is still bone dry (as far as WalMart is concerned...)

[degra]

No. I see no marked improvement. It seemed that way at first but after the recent reset and again they no longer carry them.

[Ares6009]

I haven't seen a change yet either. The ones who carried them before are still carrying them. The ones who didn't still aren't.

[spidermanskrull]

I have regular one and right after wave 5 I have seen most of wave 6 and 7 and all the all stars except robin and captain marvel

[featofstrength]

still only one walmart out of the 6 in my 10 mile radius carries DCUC...and now its clogged with Best-ofs and captain colds

[zeekzin]

I have yet to see a single Wal-Mart in Canada carry DCUC. Not that I've checked them all mind you...

[CybertronianArtifacts]

Went to the South Philly Walmart today, they had a nice collection of Wave 6 up on the pegs...wow wee to my utter annoyance. Also I am still amazed that the largest Walmart in the Philly area doesn't carry DCUC and never has, the last shipment they got in was the DCSH with black Darkseid, Mongul and the rest, they went fast like they always did but why not continue????

[mcclain457]

5 Wal-Marts with in a 20 miles radius of me. The closest one doesn't have anything. They just rearranged the whole store and they moved the toy isle to the other side fo the store. Since the move, they had 1 Captain Cold, and no nothing. I don't see any tags or anything, so I have no idea what is going on there.

 

The second closest Wal-Mart had DCUC...a few All-Stars and wave 6 and wave 7. I see Firestorm, Captian Cold, Dr. Impossiable, Mr. Miracle, Captian Marvel, and Killer Moth.

 

The third Wal-Mart has nothing, never has.

 

The forth Wal-Mart was where the first DCUC 5-Pack was bought but now the only thing that they have is 2 Mr. Miracle's. They also had 1 red Parademon.

 

The fifth Wal-Mart has some wave 6 and wave 7.

 

I really hope wave 10 is going to be easier to come by!

Just a few corrections/updates. Cromwell still carries them. Southington has had them since the beginning (wave 5). Waterbury and Hartford have since the beginning. Also, Manchester and Wethersfield/Newington both carry the line, and have since the onset, if you want to add them to your list of places to check.

You guys do know that Norwalk (My hometown)has two Walmarts and Shelton is where my ex girlfreinds works

 

Anyways in this area my Super Walmart was remodeled and since it was it no longer carries the DCUC

[RecklessEndangerment]

Out of the 4 Walmarts in my area only one has ever carried them, although they haven't had any in months.

[MasterJailer]

After reviewing these replies, I have to point out that Mattel has repeatedly asserted that Wave 10 will be much easier to find than Wave 5. The principal reason for this is that they expected many more Walmarts to pick up the DCUC line. I'm wondering if this will turn out to be true. From the responses here, it sounds like many more WM's have dropped the line than added it.

[darthfoley]

I'm definitely *not* feeling confident about wave 10 being any easier to find than wave 5 was.

[zeekzin]

I'm concerned I will not lay a hand on a wave 10 fig. Even if I hear they're in stores, by the time I drive over the border I doubt they'll be any left on the shelves.

[Onyx Minor]

No additional Wal-Marts within about 1½ hrs from me have DCUC. There is one in my immediate area that carries the line, and it is stuck with almost an entire case of wave 7.

[Draven79]

One of the local WM's put up the reset papers today and no DCCU were added........

Draven

[jacen]

all of my local walmarts r in the middle of resets. will have to see what happens when they r done.

[EldestSon]

One of my walmart's had some dcui three packs; They've never had any dcu figs; Gives me hope they may start carrying dcuc.

[ChopperMonsterPoint]

i checked today with my walmart and they had no clue about wave 10 ....hope we get them here

[Onyx Minor]

Well, now I have to kinda stop complaining. The worst Wal-Mart in my area now has a full case of wave 7. While this means I may have to wait even longer to find Wave 8 Green Parademon or Wave 9, it bodes well for the chance to get the 5-pack.

[MasterJailer]

How often do these resets happen?

 

Giving Walmart and Mattel the benefit of all possible doubt here, perhaps WM won't start carrying DCUC in a significant number of their stores until Wave 10. After all, Wave 10 is the wave specifically done for WM. Given that Wave 9 is just starting to appear and Wave 8 is only starting to become truly widespread, it might be way too early for Wave 10. Will another reset happen in the Fall? Or perhaps around the Holidays? If so, we might be see more WM's pick up DCUC then.

 

Am I being too generous with Walmart ...or foolishly optimistic??
