Found Alfredo at Walmart in Epping NH. Left one on the shelf. They also had lots of the hat lady 2 packs and even a bunch of father Burke's. Not one single though...

Saw the hat ladies and a Ryker this morning in 2 different Walmarts. Didn't need them, so I left them. No RS500 1/2 Maters or Alfredos.

Nice finds, rbart1209, abuthemagician and bobbyjack... I've still not seen the Kimberly Rims/Carinne Cavvy Movie Moment in a store...

Nice find on the RS 500 1/2 Off-Road Mater, carslover.

And I just read that another one of the Kmart stores I've been attending since Kmart 2 (June 2009) is closing... that will leave only 4 of the 10 still open... as some of you have commented, long-range survival for Kmart and Sears does not look good.

If they weren't so overpriced they might do better

Sorry I've been MIA from this thread for a while! I've been finding a whole bunch of stuff lately and thought I'd share.

On Sunday I went to Walmart and found the Alfredo Case and the Radiator Springs 500 1/2 Cars on the pegs! Bought one Alfredo and left the other since he wasn't in a great condition. As of today he's still sitting there.



On Wednesday I went back to Walmart and found Off Road Mater and Kimberly Rims/Carinne Cavvy!


Today I went back to the same Walmart again and found new Hydro Wheels! I bought Sarge and left the other two.

nice additions fillmore

Great finds, Fillmore1234! I thought Mattel had discontinued the Hydro Wheels line.

Went to walmart yesterday and found the Mater RS 500 1/2 so I bought all but Sandy Dunes. Will pick her up later at another walmart. Not sure why I got them, but I did. Will likely wait until the Mack RS500 1/2 is on clearance to pick that up

[Micky]

Got this at the Disney Store today. I really like Stanley Mater. Wonder if Mattel will ever make one.

That short is quickly becoming my favorite toon. I'm starting to have visions of how they could actually do a series and inject life into the existing toy line on the way. I'm surprised they haven't done it. I suspect voice talent would be a bit of a roadblock.

When is the last time we had a monthly store purchases thread with so few pages?

It's been a long time, bobbyjack... many of us are still waiting for store resets to include new merchandise.

I did buy 6 Miguel Camino unibody singles at Meijer Friday morning - they're going to Scavenger to become customs.
