Airdrie Wal*Mart has them now. 12 open boxes and 2 loose boxes worth in a wire bin in front of the cashiers' tills.

I wonder if that's where they usually keep them? I have never been able to find any of the CMF at Airdrie Wal-Mart. I kinda want to add another Egyptian soldier to my collection, 3 doesn't seem right, has to be an even number.

Went to the North Burlington Walmart yesterday - found only one EMPTY box on the shelf... :-(

Georgetown store is down to 2 cases of them, but they've been picked through pretty good.

No hot dog, unicorns, or evil wizards left for sure.

No. It varies. Series 12 and Simpsons was on an endcap by the LEGO section...though they did put Series 12 in a bin when half of the stock was gone through. Movie Series was on a shelf as was Series 11. It varies per store. Airdrie Wal*Mart has LEGO in about a dozen places.

New thing is removing the box tops now...probably because sealed boxes were being scanned in at $3.86...barcode on box being the same as that on the package.

Yes, it varies, they have to follow stupid planogram set ups. With mini-figures being somewhat of a seasonal thing, that is why they can end up anywhere in the toy department.

They probably have them, but finding decent/knowledgeable staff at TRU can be tough. Plus at my local TRU, they have tons of series 12 still, boxes and boxes, it could be they are trying to unload that first.

Well the staff that I talked to, work there for awhile as I remember him.
He also noted right away what I'm talking about so I assume he knows what he was talking.
Anyway I can wait bit longer not a big deal. :lol:

Like all retailers, some CSR are clueless, they are put there because they are more organize than others, and the department needs a house cleanning. Be patient, since we get what they paid for, mostly people working at minium wage for life. But do not feel bad for them since most of them do get first dip on limited editions\clearance stuffs.

Most Walmarts should have them out already, unless they have been picked clean.

Got all 16 on Jan 2 at the Lego Store in Sherway (Mississauga). Works out to be a better deal as VIP points essentially give a 5% discount or $3.79 each.

Have you walk throught the whole toy department? Sometimes they put them on a totally non-lego related section. And sometimes they have those end displays where they just stash them there. Depends on the store really. Or maybe your area is horrible when it comes to scrappers.

I found 14 0f 16 at the Walmart in Oakville on Trafalgar rd. Only missing construction guy and samurai girl.
I went back today and they were all gone except for a few I found on a shelve nowhere near the Lego isle.
It seems only Walmart is carrying them right now?

They can be REALLY popular. When a new series hits the shelves they often disappear quickly. After they've been around for a few weeks they hang around a little longer and are easier to find.

Just found them today in a hanging display in the LEGO aisle at my local Walmart. Different stores will of course stock them differently.

The walmarts in my area usually just open the box (remove the top) and leave them on a shelf in the LEGO aisle (with LEGO sets) or they use the hanging displays (that I suppose LEGO ships with them). The problem with the hanging displays is that they could be almost anywhere in the toy section at my Walmart. I've found them in several different aisles in the past. You could also check near the bins that contain "cheap" toys or toys that I think of as stocking stuffers or bday grab bag toys. I've never seen them there but I could see them putting them there if they don't have a spot.

I'm guessing that being right after Christmas is making it harder to find them. Many stores sold out of many items and are now trying to clear out more inventory before rearranging shelves with new items. I'm guessing that some stores may keep items longer in storage than normal until new arrangements are set up or because things are being moved around many items won't have a "home" meaning things could be nearly anywhere.

At Meijers I almost always find them on a particular endcap that has various blind bags and such by different companies. I've only found them once in a box with the top removed in the LEGO aisle at Meijers.

I've always had a lot of luck with a particular Walgreens in the town that I work BUT not with series 13. I checked yesterday and they had lots of Simpsons bags still.

I have never found them at the registers or near the book department at the Wal-marts in my area BUT others may have? Good luck.
