I started this mission to see how much Walmart cares about their customers who purchase their toy collectibles that are sold at their stores and online site. Reading TNI Admin JayC post about fixing scalping problems again helped push me to do it as well... On Friday, August 7th, Walmart.com put on sale at 2 PM Eastern, the 7" Mortal Kombat Spawn figure Signature Edition with a limit purchase of 1 for $59.99. This was a very limited figure of 1000 and was signed by Spawn creator Todd McFarlane. The figure being sold was the 7" Mortal Kombat Spawn figure with the mace, which is the second release. The first release being with the sword and the third release being the Target SDCC 2020 with the axe. When the sale went live, I refreshed the page and clicked the pre-order button. I received a pop-up message stating there was an internal error on Walmart.com side and I should try again. I refreshed the page again, clicked the pre-order button and same pop-up error again. I refreshed the page again and the figure was listed as sold out. I knew going into this purchase it would be very hard to obtain because of the limited supply but I decided to check out eBay.com and saw 2 or 3 figures being sold with the asking prices from $200 to $1,000. Six hours later and at the time of posting this thread... There is currently 38 live auctions and 10 completed auctions on eBay. Out of the 38 live auctions, there are 15 live auctions where the sellers have a quantity of 2 to 6 figures for sale. Out of the 10 completed auctions, 2 sellers sold 2 figures and another seller sold 4 figures. For only 1000 figures available with a limited purchase of 1. I'm starting to wonder how many employees from Walmart.com are selling these figures? I decided to take this information and email Walmart.com about this incident and the listings on eBay. I informed them about what happened to me on their website and pointed out directly all the eBay auctions. I don't believe Walmart will do anything about the auctions but I wanted to let them know that real customers are sick and tired of getting screwed over by Scalpers who are somehow purchasing multiple items just to sell at a higher cost and major corporate stores are ignoring the whole situation just so they can make a buck. Walmart has not commented about this incident.

NECA has released a new image for their upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie Walmart Exclusive 7" Casey Jones And Raphael In Disguise 2-Pack which is slated for release later this year. The set was first announced this past February during Toy Fair, where they also revealed going forward the Turtle movie figures would be released at Walmart stores as opposed to Gamestops. The mask on Casey Jones is not removable. The movie Turtle figures should be sold both online and at physical Walmart stores. At the physical stores the figures will be carried in the Entertainment section as opposed to the toy section. Check out the new images as well as images of the set from Toy Fair below.

For those that missed them at Gamestop, NECA is re-issuing their 90's TMNT Turtle figures in new 2-packs being released exclusively at Walmart later this year. The only minor difference between these figures and the previous Gamestop ones is that these have some extra bandana pieces. TMNT Movie figures should start showing up at Walmart's later this month or in July. The 2-packs should cost around $50 each and will be available at physical stores and on the Walmart website.

Funko POP! WWE: Wrestlemania 3 Hulk Hogan Walmart Exclusive is now available on their website for purchase.

The Mimban Stormtrooper which, lets be honest is basically just a dirty stormtrooper with a cape was another character that had very limited screen time in the Solo: A Star Wars story that has been made into a 6" Black Series figure from Hasbro. The figure is a Walmart exclusive so the packaging is a little different from general release figures in the line with it's beige color boarder on the side as opposed to red and their is no numbering on it. The figure comes with a standard issue Imperial blaster for an accessory that is a little tight when you try and put it in the working gun holster. The figure also comes with a black soft-goods cape that has some dirt on the outer side of it, but compared to the rest of the figure seems a bit to clean looking. For the figure itself, as I mentioned before this is just a regular looking storm trooper with a lot of dirt on it. The figure gets dirtier as you move down it with super muddy looking legs. The helmet on the figure is a little different looking that the regular Black Series Stormtroopers with minor differences like the black line over the nose looking smaller. Articulation is very much on par with previous Stormtrooper figures as is the scale. At the end-of-the-day if you like collecting Stormtrooper figures then this is one to get. The extreme mud on it makes it unique enough that its worth getting even if you have plenty of previous Stormtrooper figures. The figure is out now though at this point you may need to resort to secondary markets if you really want any chances of grabbing it, as Walmart has not seemingly done a good job of keeping it in stock online or at physical stores. Check out more images of the figure below and let us know what you think about it in the COMMENTS SECTION.
