How fast is the sell through on these in your area? From where I am (AZ) these things flew like crazy at first when they had limited distribution. Now, they seem like they aren't moving at all. Today I went to Target and saw 2 packs for $1.50 and 5 packs for $2.99!! One Wal Mart I frequent moved the whole pallet display on to the top of a rack and still has 2 or 3 pegs full of 5 and 2 packs.

I'm not trying to be a downer here. Obviously the manufacturer sold a ton of these to Wal Mart, Target and the like. I have no doubt Moose is going full steam ahead, until they get tons of packs returned unsold....

Wal-Mart has very small sales, while target has a ton of messed-up packs - those that haven't sold. One Toys R us barely has any FoP out, while the other always has a ton, and always sells out quickly.

Only two local stores that could possibly stock FOP - Wal-Mart and K-Mart. K-Mart won't at all, if Marty's info from our phone call is accurate, and my Wal-Mart never bothered to at all. Very disappointing for me.

Tomorrow... err, today (technically)... there will a shopping trip, so perhaps I'll get lucky with some. I really could use some of those discounted packs.

Around here, it is rather mixed, but still selling pretty well. The Walmart near me got a huge, HUGE display of them, and sold about a third of the display with in a week or two. They were really selling well because the display was in the main isle where people could see them. Then, after about 2-3 weeks, they moved them to a riser in the back where no one sees them, so now they haven't been selling that great. A few kids, and me of course, still pick them up, but they do still have about 8 full sets of 5 packs and about about 10 2 packs as well. Now, on the other hand, all the targets near me and the Toys R Us put out just one box of 5 packs and 2 packs at a time, and with in a week they will be completely sold out. Those stores have been selling extremely well. All Battle Boxes and Combat Cases sell really quick in my area. So, I have high hopes in my area. Hopefully they keep making them. I want that new Bear one from Series 2 as well as all the wave 2 stuff.

Locally, my stores are sellling decently, never sold out. I seem to be keeping them moving though

btw, I'm in Alaska.

[rextheovermind]

WalMart is the only ones that carry FOP here. No 2 packs where I am (I bought 'em out) and 5 packs are now on clearance for 2 bucks. I'm pretty sure I'm the only person in this town that has bought any.

[pfisteria]

The only store near me that carries FOP is TRU. As far as I can tell, they've hardly moved at all; I swear I could see the dust collecting on them.

[bizman316]

Around here they havn't sold well at all. The wal-mart by me put the 5-packs on sale for $4 and they started to move a little then. The Toys r us though aren't selling at all because of the price i'm guessing. It's starting to look like ultimate muscle in that they only sell if the are on sale.

So sub-0 must be popular there anyway my walmart has tons of these on sale

[bizman316]

to be honest if this keeps up and they are all going on sale everywhere and they still aren't moving, i don't know how bright the future is going to be for these toys. I at least hope the release the battle arena and the other series 1 figs so i can complete my set. But i hope they come out with a bunch more new figures.

Boo! j/k, but really, for 60% of the year my state is warmer than the northern states and Canada.

btw, after looking I'm almost sure I'm the only one buying these here.

I'd say, at the very least, don't be expecting to see any Fistful stuff at WalMart or Toys R Us any time soon. It seems they've already produced a bunch of stuff though, so I'd check places like outlet malls. They usually get the toys that get overstocked and sell them for super cheap. This is, assuming that they've already mass produced a whole nother wave/series.

Almost every sighting seems to be made from those two stores...

[Drtooth]

The Target near me has officially marked down the rest of the stuff, and the 2 packs are on deep clearance for 75 cents a piece. I would have got a bunch, but I decided to get a DVD instead, and I couldn't get both. I may pop in this weekend, and grab as many as I can afford.

[Nightwind0]

Sweet, I just went to my local Target and bought out all their FOP except for a couple of battle boxes. They were on clearance.
In all, I got 8 5-packs, 2 2-packs and 3 battle boxes. $50.

By that, I meant, don't expect to see Series 2 at WalMart or Toys R Us.

I cleaned out my local Target recently, and they haven't restocked. I'm going to see if I can get the cardboard display next time I'm there to buy a rug.

Wal-Mart hasn't restocked, either, and is running really low - but nothing there has been systemified, since I found a 5-pack that contained hyper Grondar and crystal Blackheart. That ain't bad.

[THEGODBEAST]

If you have a HASTINGS store near you. They have FOP too!

Finally found FOP at last at my Wal-Mart, in the "reject" section (basically, a place where toys that have no other place to go or are overstocked get thrown into with little order or neatness). Quite a lot of five-packs, there might have been two-packs but I didn't notice. And for whatever reason, they were already discounted. Seeing as they could have only been there for a couple of weeks at the most, that was odd, but hey, that means I'll be able to get more.

The only disappointing part was that I didn't even have time to get some, let alone try the system.

[Ridureyu]

Wal-Mart hasn't discounted any of them yet, although they are in the "Reject" section. I check that section pretty often, too - I'd like a 4-5 inch-long plastic alligator for diorama purposes.

[Ridureyu]

Ha-ha! I did it! They just gave me the store display box, so I'll use it to help store any figures that I keep packaged (currently: 2).

Woot! I'll post a pic sometime soon.

[rextheovermind]

Found FOP at my Toys R Us today, but, unlike WalMart, they haven't been discounted yet. So its still four bucks for a two pack... Unfortunately WalMart never got the carrying case with Cowl, but that's still freakin' 8 bucks...

[Ridureyu]

Ta-da!
