Anymore reports on the 3 new figures that popped up at a MO. Wally world ??? I can't find these figures, even on evil bay

I really need to get a hold of some not just for the collection, but for use of the heads only in transplants. WM.com shows NO 21st items at all. I checked Evil bay more than I can count on my hands last night and today - nothing. And I've checked all the online dealers I have in my favorites with no luck either. So, either someone or persons need to start buying out the WMs of Platoon figures(at least down here) or WM should clearance them out

I'd pay some good $$$ to find these figures
I never thought this hobby could be so addicting

gk posted on here like two weeks ago, that he found those figures. I have check ebay, and several online stores including tru.com EVERYday since then. No dice.
I'm beginning to think gk found a fluke case. A case that might have slipped out of a warehouse earlier than intended. Maybe it got mixed up and sent out by accident?
I can't come up with anything else. Those are the only figures that seem to be out there. I would just file it under more terrible distribution...but, NO one is finding them, apparently. If they were out there, at least one of them would have shown up on Ebay by now. So, I'm just inclined to think that they aren't really out there.

It's another case of the XD files...
-insert creepy keyboard theme-
I'm now going to go Photoshop something for that.

I still think a bigger company like hasbro should buy 21st then we would be seeing full pegs of these figs everywhere, just look at the indy figs or the joes. I still would like to know how 21st makes money on their products when you can't find any of it at the stores?

They're stuck in that midwest region, where all the XD, FOV, Hasbro, etc. goes first. Given that these
are 21c products, expect to see them in your local Wal Marts or TRUs in about six months

It's an outrage allright, but the norm for 21C products.

I'm still not convinced these figures have made any kind of serious mass release yet, in any part of the country.
It's like they sent out just a few boxes. Normally the new 21st stuff shows up on Ebay first, or shortly after a release.
No dice. I don't get it.

Are you guys talking about the sniper, machine gunner, and the DAK artillery guy. We have them here. And of course butt loads of Platoon figures.

I haven't had time to cruise the Walmarts in my area this week. I'll see what I can do.

I Hope this is true that means they are working their way over here.

Cases don't tend to slip out one at a time, so I'm 100% positive (since gk found them obviously, and Kamikaze's found them as well), that these are out and about, just still probably getting routed in distribution.
It's not a secret that 21st's product isn't A) distributed well in general, and B) not really "high" on the toy distribution list compared to other lines, so I'm not really shocked at all that they're hitting very sporadically right now.
Some are probably waiting distribution in WM centers, etc. I'm positive a ton came over on the slow boat from China though.

KAMIKAZE,
You are talking about these figures, right?
Not the DAK figures already out?

Ok, who has the SKU Numbers on the 3 figures ????
My BIL Jeff works in the Wally world distribution center and he could look them up and maybe locate some for me. It's worth a try, right ??? So post the SKU numbers and I'll see what Jeff can find out

I did a quick recon at a Wally world not far from me.
As I walked over to look, I thought about buying all the Platoon figures and helping those on the West coast out buy selling them at my cost to them and shipping them for free to boot, thus draining one store of the Dreaded VN figures that plauge our WMs

To my surprise, all the Platoon fig.s were gone and restocked once again with new D-day figures

I didn't find any of the new 3, but maybe next restock
Oh yeah, I wiped them outta Huns leaving just 3 Americans
