DC 100 Page Giants Walmart exclusive 2 2

[Joosh]

To clarify, both WM’s near me are supercenters and had no stands of these. I made a trip to 2 Wal-Marts specifically for these books. Of course the employees are clueless.  I checked online and didn’t see them on the WM site.  I’m beginning to think this is a conspiracy to mess with my mind. ?

FYI they are in the sports card section near the registers in the front of the stores.  They were well stocked at all Locations here in the Portland OR/Vancouver WA area.

DC and Marvel should be doing this regularly.  They should pick stories from different eras to publish with a new story inside.  I think you'd see more people pick-up comics to read.

I wonder what was the slotting fee associated with the display, and at what cost is Wal-Mart paying for these books?  I don't think DC is making a ton of money on the books.

Waste of gas driving from Vancouver, BC suburb. The closest WM across the USA border had 3 month old DC Spotlight mag 1/2 price at $5. The 2nd closest WM in WA state was a Supercentre that had nada, nil, zip, not even an empty DC  cardboard display stand next to their Pokemon card area.

Were you planning to smuggle some back?  Don’t customs have you on a watchlist?

I walked the register lines first, figuring they would be up there. Definitely not there. ?

Was just at my local Walmart, looking for these.  They had one copy of the Batman issue left, which I grabbed, and nothing else.

I also snagged a 3-pack with this, which is labeled "Wal-mart Edition" in the indicia. Anybody know anything about it?

These puppies are selling now, esp Teen Titans. 

seems to be the big winner I think. I have the previous 1st DC 3packs accumulating dust but I have a honey hole or two for these so I may just look for that TT.

Monster Men is the second arc of Rebirth. That's the cover B to issue #7.

Walmart exclusive reprint. Came out a few years ago. Easy way to dump old stock and gain new readers.

Tried another Walmart today.  They had all 4 giants still, although they were down to their last copy of the Teen Titans issue.

Looking for these each month will be an epic pain... but I'm going to want the Tom King Superman story too much not to, and if I'm going there anyway I might as well grab the rest.

Stopped by my nearest super center yesterday hoping some issue 2’s may already be out and saw that some number 1’s were restocked. 

They now had 4 copies of Teen Titans 1 but they all had damaged corners. 

[00comics]

Yeah, stopped by mine today, Wednesday, and no #2s yet, but restock on the #1s - they were all pretty sharp (no bent corners), including 2 Teen Titans #1s.

Seems to be spotty distribution in the LAX to Glendale, CA region, as most Wal-marts or supercenters either moved or closed.

[00comics]

So, I stopped by again today... waiting on the #2s. Talked with the supervisor of the self-checkout area and she mentioned that someone other than a Walmart employee does the stocking for the card/collectables/comics area and hasn't been there yet. So I guess I can't 'blame' Walmart for the lack of or otherwise DC Comics situation.

I know that in my area Walmart and Target is done by a third party.  Try to scope out the ones in your area and eventually you'll find them restocking.  Great time to strike up a conversation to find out their schedule.

I've got three in my area and none of them have them. Heck, no one there even knew what they were or that they were supposed to be getting them.

I just left my Walmart, and I literally scouted a pile of them *10 or more* These are not as rare as people have been led to believe. I also saw them in Latrobe while I was working on location the other day.
