Talking Toy Shelves

[Andy]

I wanted to dedicate this thread for talk about toys on your local toy shelves. Hopefully I can convince you to also show some pictures but generally I just want to see what is out there in the wild and not primarily online.

So my Walmarts have been pretty dry on all toys except transformers and fortnite...until today.

Still no real origins figs or MotWWEU or AEW figs but there's plenty of new gen MotU in my area. Skeletor seems to be the hot item also.

[Andy]

Only wave 1 Revelations and no Skeletor

[Andy]

Today I went through Meijer's..







For my lurky lego friend..

[Andy]

And also Walmart..

[Andy]

Went to target today. They had lots of new origins...

[Mechanizor]

Nice find and congrats...

[Andy]

MotU still on shelves for at least February..

[Andy]

Masterverse and Panthor are on clearance at one of my Wallyworlds..

[Y2Greg]

These pics will be especially fun to look back at years down the road. I wish I had taken pictures of toy aisles as a kid, but film was expensive and not something you'd waste on that back in the day. At least retail still exists! Thanks for sharing!

[Andy]

Thanks Greg! Glad you can get some joy out of this. Welcome back BTW!

[Y2Greg]

You're welcome and thank you! 😎

Hey guys, DreamWorks just sent my Walmart new Dolly's...

[Mechanizor]

I’m not afraid of death, after all it’s a blessing in my book to join the all mighty and some of my loved ones. Just not

living in a dignified manner is like a living hell for me…
For me, it’s not much where you live, it’s how you live and who’s around you.
Where I am currently at with my situation, it doesn’t offer me anything I want from this life other than more stress and anxiety.

[Andy]

Mech, I hate to see you sound so bummed buddy. You're a good dude.

I wish I had the right words to say. I don't want to be that guy that says it could always be worse because I know that when life serves up funk it's just as easy to say that life could also be better. Or it can't rain all of the time.. no shit, it can snow and freeze the damn rain. We just gotta count our blessings sometimes and change our own perspective sometimes.

I know you don't drink or smoke so iits not like you can blind the situation temporarily. I dunno, maybe pray a little each day for small things like smiling more or witnessing other people smile more. Hell... manifest in your mind that idiots learn to fly so when they don't know any better and fly off into the sun then us earthbound folks can live a little more peacefully.

I know that realistically it doesn't end the problem or worry for the next day so make a goal and think of real solutions to get to that goal. Seriously, completing goals make the spirit feel a different way. Make your pallet less broad if need be. Let your heart rule over frustrations and live your life appreciating what isn't hell my friend.

[Mechanizor]

Thanks for the advice Andy, and I'm usually a positivity guru myself, and things could be a lot worse like you said... It's just sometimes things don't go your way, especially when you trust and give people credit a lot more than they deserve... Regardless, my wrong (and unclear)t choices were partially if not largely part of the problems that I'm in, and sometimes it takes a lot of hard work and persistence to get out of the rot and to fix things up.

Anyhow, live goes on and it takes some planned steps, a lot of faith with constant prayers and resilience to move on forward.

Went to Target and Meijer today. Nothing New but target had the Sun-Man 3 pack and Masterverse markdown.. Meijer had cgi Stratos and Tri-klops that I never seen before in person.

[Andy]

My Walmart still has 6 flocked Panthors for $17

[Mechanizor]

Wow, I wish I had such deals around me... Probably you could buy 5 of them and turn a profit if no one in your area is interested in them to this day!

[Andy]

$17 is better than $34 but the price has been coming down slowly anyways. Just checked eBay and there not much to profit. Hopefully since there's 6 available maybe next time I'll run into one of those $1 sales that's been reported.

[Croc-O-Bite!]

Wow. That certainly beats the $65 Canadian Toys R Us tires to sell flocked Panthor for up here.

If flocked Panthor gets clearanced any further, any chance you might keep me in mind for one please? I ended up purchasing unflocked Panthor since I’m not gullible enough to drop $65 on a flocked one, but I’d love to upgrade to the flocked one if there’s a crazy good deal on one.

[Andy]

Absolutely. I'm willing to help out any board members

[Andy]

Four flocked Panthors left, now at $10.00. I picked up two. I'll post in the marketplace as soon as I can find shipping boxes. Not asking for much except PayPal cost

[Mechanizor]

Well, if Croc and/or others aren't interested in them, I can pick them up from you for my own personal collection since I do love to army build for future dioramas.

Just let me know via PM whenever you decide to off load them.

[Andy]

I'll offer them in a thread first. I still haven't even boxed either of them or took any pictures besides at the store. Hopefully I can help some fellow fans out. They still have two more so who knows, but I'm kinda wondering if I'll get to see one of them 99¢ sales. If I can id like to help out a couple of ya then maybe go back for the other 2. This Walmart hasn't gotten much new MotU..or at least less than four cases in three months.

[Mechanizor]

Yeah, do what you must, and I'm the last to worry about since I'm in no rush... I can wait even until the end of the year! I have so much going on in my life at the moment.
BTW, I have 2 flocked Panthors, one I bought from eBay in the beginning of the scarcity for over $60 (I feel like a moron while thinking about it), and another one for like $30 + from Walmart's website, and I'm kinda shocked to see how these are selling for nowadays! LOL

[Andy]

My target is finally starting to put the nekkid Stratos wave on sale. Maybe we'll finally get some new stuff

[Andy]

Y Walmart got another case of the Duplico wave.
