Two of the WalMarts have gotten S25 in.
One has one had one case come in, and I missed grabbing the Raven. The only figure on the peg there was the i.95 Spawn (3 of them)
The other one that is on the way home for me and stop there daily, has received 2 cases. I have snagged the Ravens from both of those, and seen the S&T, but still on the peg there is 2 Redeemers, 3 HellSpawns, and 3 i.95 Spawns. Raven (me) and the S&T ones were gone within 2 days.
Weird, Meg. The first time I saw these stocked, I saw nothing but Hellspawn, S&T, and Regular Spawn. The second time, everything but Raven was there.
I grabbed one Redeemer weeks ago just to get his wings for a custom, then I grabbed another early last week because he grew on me. They still had a few Reds left up until Friday when the final batch were gone. Yet there's still some S&T's left over!
Funny how that works in different locations, eh? Can't say it's a Bible Belt thing since we're both in the South- if Redeemer's angelic appearance even was a matter to begin with.
I even see the difference in just different sides of towns. I can hit the 3 WMs that carry spawn in this area and each will have a different figure staying on the peg!
There has been a lot of comments in the area (talking with the stock guys at *** WalMarts that do carry them) about why WM is carrying Spawn....
There have been more complaints stated in that the figures are "inappropriate" than complaints that they aren't being carried.
Funny, they don't want the figures, but they still sell Guns right next to them in the Sports section, and then there is all the GI Joe figures...... *Shrugs*
Dear Steve,
I would really like to get one of the S25 Raven Spawn Walmart exclusive figures produced by McFarlane Toys.
Regards,
Spore

I can't even get help to get something off a high shelf [img]eek.gif[/img] You and I have already stated that our Walmarts are like white trash heaven...don't know if it's the same everywhere. Here in MA, they are considered to be really crappy, useless stores [img]confused.gif[/img]Quote:

yeah the inbread ones around here are only working in the toy sections to find dates, so they dont care. the managers their uncle and thought it was a great place to pic up girls, why those folks wanting toys for big folk anyhoo?
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">lol...god, that's so true here as well [img]eek.gif[/img]Quote:

...the pen can be a mighty tool when used the right way.
...it's all about sales, if they think there's money to be made, you'll see a change.
...your voice can work, too!
...if a manager hears a hundred times a week, "why, don't you carry Spawn figures," they'll change the way they order.

I can count about 7 WalMarts around the area here that not a one single new Spawn figure has been through. Some of them now just say we dont carry them and others dont know what youre talking about. When you look at the shelves, there's no sign in these 7 stores that they ever even had them. And thats with like two of those a 20+ mile drive or more in two opposite directions from my house. so if they're showing up anywhere in the St Louis Metro area, they must be in WalMarts I dont even know exist.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">What??? Cool!! Now THAT's a collectors piece. [img]wink.gif[/img]Quote:
I can understand not wanting to stock Tortured Souls, but people will find any little thing to gripe about. Look how easily vibrating Harry Potter "pleasure" broomsticks made it to shelves though!
It's very frustrating up here in the great white north as well. I don't think we've ever seen spawn stuff in our walmarts, and barely anything in the Toys R Us'. Most of the exclusives don't even make it up to Canada, and the only thing I've ever heard is, complain to the distributers. [img]frown.gif[/img]
