Forgive me if I missed a previous discussion, but has anyone else run into trouble find the Retro collection items from Walmart?

If by "trouble" you mean not finding jack crap at any Walmart anywhere, then yes. From what I've seen and heard from other collectors that isn't a regional thing. Very few people have actually seen them in stores. As wave 2 leaked everyone is complaining that they still haven't seen wave 1.

I saw the display at my local store, but no figures.

At the other store, a lone Snake-Eyes hung from a peg on a display.

Next visit, displays were gone.

Oh, and the second store got the Top Gun display with plane sets, while the first one has has none.

Haven't seen a single retro figure at any if the 6 Walmarts in my area.

We're the target vehicles ever in stores or did they all sell out online?

I had someone pick me up some snake eyes for fodder. I’ve yet to see them at 5 different wal marts. I’ve had varied luck with classified, but not the retro.

If the Augusta JoeFest convention was any sign I didn't see any vendors with more than one of each figure and they were waaay overpriced. Meanwhile many had multiples of the less desirable Classified figures (Duke, Roadblock) and a few had multiples of the Target wave.

Haven't seen a single figure or display. Meanwhile, I've seen pictures of others stores with stacks of figures.
Also read that they are sometimes found in random areas of the toy section, a few have been found in the clearance section, and some sleazeballs are buying ENTIRE displays full of figures.

Saw an empty display one day (looked like it was just setup), and it had been replaced by a comics rack a couple days later. Never saw a single figure.

The Walmart AWE Strike and HISS have been spotted in California and Western Canada stores. Delivery for online orders is still set for early October.

Meanwhile, I my Jada mini vehicles are arriving today. Still haven't seen those locally on the shelves either.

I'm so out of the loop. I really though the vehicles were target. Is all of retro a Walmart exclusive?

maybe so many people shopping online instead of going out buying up everything before it goes out or stores adjusting there incoming stock because people are not coming in. i know there has been very little clearance at the walmarts i have bben in, and my wife is constantly complaing they don't have this or that grocery item.
