Man, I never even saw the Retro Gung Ho on shelves out here in BC. Or any of the other ones to be honest.

They sent me a mystery box to compensate. I got it last night and it was a mint retro destro and gung ho. So that?s how I got my hands on a retro destro and I like the figure better than the standard but I prefer the originals briefcase and firearm.

Awesome about the retro figs. Not so awesome about Serpentor. What was the QC issue with yours? I hate that these figures give us stress.

I saw all of them except Destro. Baroness, Lady J and then Gung Ho in that order.

I find the two Walmarts near me never get Walmart exclusives.

As DarthMoose said, Bayshore Mall Walmart.

Thanks guys! I will try to get there this weekend once the snow is dealt with. I live in the East end and the only retro I saw was Lady Jay. First at the South Keys location where there were a dozen. Someone must have purchased one and returned it to the Trainywards location off of Industrial as they have one on the shelf in the clearance section (and have for months) but I know they never received a case as they don't stock G.I. Joe at all.

I find it strange how Walmart deals with Toys. Some locations are flush with all four major lines from Hasbro (GIJ, Marvel, Power Rangers, SW) and then others are a wasteland. Meanwhile I always see a ton of McFarlane figures, including Gold and Platinum releases at every Walmart I hit in my area.

There was a paint spot on the top head of the snake on his left shoulder. Once I noticed I couldn?t take my eyes away from it.

I was able to get it off with isopropyl.

Ah, my bad! Read your post quickly and my brain converted "officer" to "viper"
