Strange turn of events. My local store was saying the 5th. Today I saw a worker who I actually "know" and she said yeah I'll check out the tag. Scans it and says it went to 0 coming in. Showed me the device and all.

I did get a chance to pre-order these from Walmart's website when they presumably had that weird blunder where they were posted online, but the delivery date is still something like October 10th. I wonder if that'll be shortened once these start hitting stores more.

I'm holding out hope the October date was just a placeholder, and now when they actually are getting stock it will move up. I'm checking the product pages regularly just to see if they re-list them. |

Is anyone waiting to get Kenny until they find one with the hair fixed? I was thinking about doing this but Iβm not sure now after hearing that these may be more limited than future series.

I actually canceled my Kenny and Cody preorder because I wanted to see one in person before I went through with a purchase. |

Always possible, but those of us that preordered the Retro RGB figures had to wait until July for them to be shipped even though people started finding them in stores in like May. |

Got last two at Wal Mart in DFW area. This was the only store on brickseek showing in stock yesterday. I went yesterday morning and it was not out yet. Noticed it on limited quantity today and was able to grab these. Brickseek updated immediately to out of stock when I bought them.  Which location? I wonder if it is one of the ones I hit up yesterday. Some of the WM's closer to me have finally started showing them in stock. I only need Cody and Brandi at this point. This was the Wal Mart in White Settlement. I found a few more this afternoon at Jackbouro Highway and Wal Mart near Lockhead. |

I really feel awful for Walmart associates this week. Having to deal with the same people everyday has to be nauseating Honestly, if not for the fact that I simply had more years under my belt during the time I was working at Sears than I did with Wal-Mart, working for the Waltons would take the absolute top spot as my worst working experience during my all-too-long tour through the retail industry. Retail is the sort of absolutely thankless work that I simultaneously feel everyone should have to do at some point in their lives, but that no one should ever have to be subjected to. The sort of human empathy you develop from donning that stupid blue vest for 40 hours each week (clearly) can't be learned by simply reading the horror stories told here (both by the employees and the humanoids out there perpetrating them). I always regret not quitting my job I hated (I no longer work at the job my username is referring to) sooner and working at the Toys R Us that was 3 blocks from where I live. Financially, it made no sense but when they raised minimum wage to $15/hr, I wouldve definitely considered it. Of course, TRU would shut down a few months after they raised the minimum wage. Go figure. |

I know Jeremy said there would be a running change on the hair but Iβm not convinced they are even going to one and neither is the design team. |

If Omega isnβt fixed Iβll just buy his next figure and swap the head. If I find an Omega this week Iβm just gonna buy it and worry about the hair later

If I find an Omega this week Iβm just gonna buy it and worry about the hair later I thought about that too but after having Omega in hand Iβm gonna leave him alone. He also had silver/gray in his hair for DoN when he wore that attire so if you do a swap it wonβt be 100% accurate. Unless he wore the attire again which is totally possible. |

The other thing about doing head swaps going forward, is the skin tones are going to be different in the upcoming figures. They are supposed to be more tan, so the pale heads from series may not match. |

If I remember correctly from some of the Bubbly Jericho review videos the figures have ball-joint hips so the torsos seem to be easy to swap as well. I def plan on switching out the series 1 Omega figure with a color corrected torso after another Kenny repaint comes out as I love his SAO Kirito gear from DoN. |

Not interested in buying any AEW figures, but I was at the local (Sweetwater, Tx) Walmart tonight and there were 4 or 5 stacks of new toy boxes ready to be put out. Didn't see anything on the surface that looked promising, but I will probably swing through tomorrow on the way back from work and see if there's anything there to report.

People donβt understand how easy these figures are to customize. Torso swaps are hella easy. |

I think Kennyβs hair looks dumb and really donβt want a figure that looks like that. It could be worse, I guess, like Jakksβ Rock n Roll Express. |

Brickseek showed three rings at my local Walmart today but nada. The lady working said the toy manager comes in at 4 and they should be out by 7am so Iβm gonna take a shot in the morning. I have the first wave and bubbly jericho already, I just want the chase figures and/or the ring
