Ok, they restocked Spawns about a week or two ago, and as usual there were no Ravens in sight. I figured they were swept out immediately.
Tonight I go out there, not a damn thing new but TWO Ravens sitting there on top of some X-men boxed sets. It's almost bizarre finally seeing these in person.
Anyone still looking for one?

damn. I stopped by the wal-mart that's on the same road as the college I work at last time I was out that way...I hadn't gone before, because it's actually more of a drive than I thought it was and I couldn't spare the time, and they had every s25 figure except for raven spawn. now I'm wishing I'd gone earlier. I'll be checking it whenever I can now, in hopes that they restock at some point.

I was annoyed as hell when I finally did go and saw the last few figures hanging on the pegs. there are more walmarts I could check, but they're all a bit more of a drive than I'm willing to make. especially with gas prices being through the roof here.
curse you, wal-mart raven spawn! one day you *will* be mine!
I see they have the rest of S25 on their web site...
Spreaking of zee Wal-mart Raven Spawn, I snagged another one today. Seems that infernal store's opening all their McF boxes finally.
if yer wantin' to part with it, drop me a PM.
"Tommy Vercetti is an innocent man!". D'oh!!! [img]mad.gif[/img]
Peekeroo, PM down tha hatch.
back at ya.
no problemo. PM me the address.
3's, if you get any more; can i get on the list?
Done.
Just a lucky accident, I guess. I was in Wal-mart looking for DVD's and when I passed the action-figure lane, there it was sneering at me..."buy me, fool, buy me", it beckoned. And I'm weak so.... [img]tongue.gif[/img]
thankee.
Peeks, all's cool. Check your PM again for a bit of detail. And all's locked up to go. [img]wink.gif[/img]
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I was thinking more along the lines of a trade, Dawg, but I won't rule out a sale.Quote:

If you have a Stan Winston Horrg or loose open handed Hellboy, I'm game. If no trade's on the block, I'll just shoot for the price + shipping.
I may end up parting with the one I opened too. I dunno, I got him stuck on the same base as the regular Raven and I do prefer the looks of the bladed one. I'll see, I may make him a suprise throw-in on a future deal sometime.

no walmart's around here carry any McF except sports picks and Nascar. [img]frown.gif[/img]
I wish I could get a damned walmart raven... [img]frown.gif[/img]
I know Meg's got me on his list... hopefully one turns up, or someone else has a bunch!
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">He may be slowly trickling further into stores now, so you never know. Oddly enough this was one day where I wasn't even thinking of looking for a Raven and there he was.Quote:

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Thanks, SS- and it's true I was always just moments short of these guys soon after each restock. What I don't get is how they restocked about a week ago, and only now two Ravens appear. Unless some ass was hiding them someplace and the toy stocker put them back...Quote:

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I was just checking ebay and they seem to be getting cheaper, closer to regular price. I know ebay's the usual last resort for most of us, but if they're getting less in demand over there it could mean more are spilling out in stores. 'Least they better be! I hope we don't have another Raven-like fiasco when S26 comes along.Quote:

...no SPAWN at my Walmart in Franklin, but they did have NASCAR refresh! Three inch sports figures, too. [img]smile.gif[/img]

...gee, I don't know. But, it was our second best selling line last year, next to football. Considering we only did 1 NASCAR line compared to 3 football lines, I'd say, quite a few people out there. [img]smile.gif[/img]
...lots of work to do though, to turn the last few cretins out there onto NASCAR. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
[img]wink.gif[/img]
NASCAR, Football??
What are these things you speak of?
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yeah yeah I know they're big sellers. Actually, I grabbed one before: for custom body parts [img]smile.gif[/img]Quote:

Well, I did score a Wal Mart Raven at long last!!!via trade for an extra Skullsplitter.
Our Wal Mart employees always morph from an average friendly expresion to one of total
befuddlement at the mere mention of "Spawn".
Kind of like: " [img]smile.gif[/img] > [img]graemlins/thinking.gif[/img] > [img]confused.gif[/img] "
Maybe they'll at least be bold enough to sell NASCAR.

It's these trucks where you'll find racer number stickers, stickers of Calvin pissing on a Ford logo... and stickers of the boyfriend's name and the girl's name placed on the back window designating their respective seating areas. Only she usually sits so close to him their spleens are touching. That's the usual demographic!
I'm sure there are exceptions to all that, but really it's always just the guys around here that go Nascar crazy.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">yeah..football is terribly boring. My attention span is rather short, unless I'm doing/watching something I really enjoy. anything that's only slightly interesting or not interesting at all sends me into fidget mode. or I just fall asleep. needless to say that annoyed him quite a bit, when I'd sit there fidgeting like a crack addicted squirrel with ADD while his favorite team was playing.Quote:
