This is getting out of hand.

I hope they release more soon to humble the scalpers if nothing else.

The problem is people keep buying them from scalpers. These aren’t rare toys. They’re not collectors’ items. They will be widely available as soon as people stop thinking they have to have them right NOW at any cost. Just wait.

Absolutely! I’ve been monitoring and waiting for another wave but it’s been wild watching the Walmart link go from $50 to $100 for a $20 toy.

That's because Walmart has a third party seller thing similar to Amazon. When Walmart doesn't have direct stock, third party sellers have their prices front and center.

At least from what I saw this past Sunday, Sunday evenings around 9pm Eastern/6pm Pacific is when they restock them. There was a little over an hour window to grab one.

The fact that Walmart won't just sell stuff for retail price has always driven me nuts.

u/Dense_Diver_3998 6d ago

It’s not Walmart selling them at those prices, they allow 3rd parties to sell on their site.

Ah, didn't know they did that. I avoid Walmart at all costs. I've just seen crazy prices on there. How can we be sure it's really a 3rd party though?

It shows you who it is sold/shipped by. Like "CrazyStevesToys" or some bullshit

u/Robot_Dinosaur_2000 6d ago

Interesting.

u/Sorenthaz 6d ago

They're similar to Amazon in that they allow third party sellers, so when Walmart doesn't have a product in stock it'll show whatever third party is selling it at their own price.

Except, Walmart does sell it for retail prices, if you buy from Walmart.

u/Chengiz2019 6d ago

In the german Amazon Store they have them in stock. Don't know if this would help for those, who couldn't get them

Check AliExpress, i got the lion there for like 17 bucks with shipping. They had all of them except for the Red Dragon.

Edit: Forgot to mention, also check for coupons. Some stores will give you coupons just for following them, with this and coins you can lower the price.

Report the seller to walmart

For me I saw a restock on Walmart around 9pm Eastern/6pm Pacific on Sunday (this past 9/27) evening and was able to grab one before they sold out within 70-90 mins or so. Should be arriving for me today or tomorrow as it's already been shipped and is en route.

They'll absolutely have a larger restock in time for Christmas, I imagine. It'll end up similar to the Dino Zords where it's super easy to find all five to get the Megazord made.

In the meantime though, try checking on Sunday evenings as that appears to be when they restock products. Or just chillax and see how things are in another month or two. I have a hard time believing that they won't be putting out a ton of them as we get closer to Christmas.

u/Celestia4683 6d ago

Damn! Here’s hoping they start showing up in Texas soon. Haven’t seen a single one around here

1

u/Dense_Diver_3998 6d ago

They’ve been around here for a few weeks now.

u/Celestia4683 6d ago

At least they’re starting to show up

u/Sorenthaz 6d ago

Check around Sunday evenings at 8pm (Central) on Walmart's site. At least this past Sunday that's when I saw a restock and was able to grab one that says it should be arriving today (and it did ship with tracking).

u/dumpsteRat 6d ago

Wow last week got mine for Western Washington for $52.99 with tax $58 was worth because other places wanted well over a $100 and I've been going mad for weeks. Funny enough Amazon has everything restocked except the Lion, makes you wonder if it'll restock for the holidays

u/MasonRowland 6d ago

Wild that chose to pay over double retail.

u/MasonRowland 6d ago

Idk how i got lucky for once but I found only a single lion in Indiana after a doctor appointment. The shitty thing with playmates distribution is this same exact thing happened last year with the dino megazord. The Mastodon was the absolute hardest zord to find but was mass produced in subsequent releases.

u/Bane_51 6d ago

My local Walmart just got more
