None of these shippers at my Walmarts. Though my secondary Walmart did have an endcap display this month that looked curiously like the contents of the shipper shown above.

In reply to Jayson Krebsbach. That is a weird mix. Do you think they just stuffed whatever they had onhand in that shipper or did the Zuvios, Guavians and Resistance Troops look case fresh?

In reply to Mother_Talzin. Think of it this way. If Hasbro were only to do one wave for each movie, wave 1 is what they would look like. Maybe not the "unique" offerings that collectors crave, but all the main characters plus a few secondary characters to round things out. Rose is Disney's most important new character introduced in this film, so clearly she was going to be in wave 1. I'll agree the ratios and carry forwards can often be better managed.

Wow, Walmart, just wow! Why these are coming out now and not a month ago is beyond me. You would think they’d want this product on the floor by Black Friday or at least by the release of The Last Jedi in theaters. Or how about by Christmas? Can you say a day late and a dollar short?

In reply to ShipGirlLover. There is nothing "curious" going on here. With the big holiday push, retailers have allocated space, planning for shippers such as these. It's not indefinite. With the holiday over, likely so too was the space allocated to this display.

Visiting my family in Iowa this weekend for the holidays. This small town WM has a shipper with an odd mixnif pegwarmers and newer 6” figures. Zuvio, Guavian Troopers, Resistance Troopers, Thrawn, Hera, Vader, Maz, Finn (TFA and TLJ), Snow Troopers, AT-AT Drivers

This appeared at my local Wal-Mart in Wisconsin a week or two before Christmas. Amazingly none of the new TBS 6″ sold. GENERAL LEIA(TFA), POE DAMERON(TLJ), FINN (in disguise)(TLJ), etc. are all just collecting dust. The 5POA with BEN KENOBI and YODA sold through well but that was only the second time any replenished stock was had since Force Friday II on 9/1/2017.

In reply to Brian Beck. I love Ello Asty as a figure in the BS6 size with pilot gear, what is the name of this alien species and Poe's friends name?

In reply to Brian Beck. Kmart had TLJ first in my town a few weeks before the street date release.
