Avengers Movie 6" Walmart - Page 4 - ActionFigureNews.ca - Canadian Action Figure News and Discussion

To all my fellow Winnipegers: I was just at the Walmart in Grand Forks and they had about a dozen of the 6" Avengers exclusives there. But they only had Cap, Iron Man, and Thor. Better than nothing. Absolutely nothing in Fargo!

!?!?!

Could this actually be a sign that they're making their way over here? Or maybe a friendly American brought some figures up North and returned them there so that some of us could get some. That sounds a little weird but some actually do do that, as well as bring them to stores that don't get stock to encourage them to order some I suppose.

I just saw a post on a wrestling forum about these while searching for stuff. Apparently, someone found the Thor and IM at a Walmart in the GTA as well. The posting was made sometime in mid June. So far I've only seen 2 sightings about these, the post by flipnosis and the other by someone on a wrestling forum.

I'm hoping it is a sign that these will start showing up at Walmarts across Canada soon.

How much were these?

They were $15.96 each but I don't think these will ever come out in Canada. Looks like us Canadians will have to settle for paying double the price on ebay, which i did for Hulk and Hawkeye

Why would you think that if you saw them in a store?

The $15.96 price tag seems a bit low for these guys. I would think Walmart Canada would price them around the $20 range. Did you see them at a Walmart in Canada or in the US?

The price does seem a little lower than usual but it's not necessarily impossible. The 6" Amazing Spider-Man figures were recently found in Australia at the price of around $15, which is ridiculous. If you thought prices were bad here, they're even worse down there so a 6" figure at that price is pretty amazing.

Edit: Oops at below, I had a feeling this was the case but never bothered to check. Was hopeful we were finally going to see them here.

He saw them in the States. Grand Forks is in North Dakota. Prolly on a cross border shopping trip and giving a heads up to other Winnipeggers doing the same.

Thanks for clarifiying.

For those that don't know, Winnipeg is approx 2 1/2 hours from Grand Forks, which is in North Dakota.

10 Walmarts later

Found these at only 2 of the Walmarts I hit during a trip to Illinois. The other Walmarts didn't even have the peg space for them.

Finally received Hulk and Hawkeye from eBay to complete the set. If these guys ever show up in Canada, I'll get another set to keep MOC.
