Walmart Infinity Stone colored Chrome Thanoses (Thanoi?)

Why...why do they own me like this? Thanos? Check. Colour variants? Check. Shiny? Check...mate. :drunken:

Postby **dexiesmom** » Wed Oct 03, 2018 11:08 pm

Hopefully now that they are changing to having the stock handled by a third party (I'm guessing Pop Culture Collectibles) that is supposed to handle it all the stores should have better stock and nicer looker displays.

I get bummed when I see a Walmart exclusive since the stores near me are so inconsistent with store shipments and the workers are unable to help since how the wharehouse ships products is out of their control.

I did order online once and had it shipped to the store for store pickup and when the worker went to open the package to check for the correct product in the box he didn't have a box cutter on him so he pulled out a LIGHTER and stabbed it through the box to open it.

I like the idea of Walmart having a section for Pops and collectibles.
Not only would it be great to find employees that have heard of Funko, hopefully kid torn and security band choked boxes will be a thing of the past.

Gonna need to get these. Glad to see walmart is doing a new funko section.

Thanos looks good, but I won’t get my hopes up that I’ll ever actually see him.

Postby **MrSmileyFace** » Thu Oct 04, 2018 8:58 am

I’ll be happy with Chrome Purple Thanos. My Walmart never has any funko pops I need so I don’t even try going now

When is this coming?? I feel like we've heard this concept before and it never happened.

"Walmart is levelling up its pop culture merchandise for fans, announcing it will introduce a new, dedicated collectibles section in the entertainment department of more than 3,500 stores starting the week of Oct. 15."

These are pretty cool! I hope Funko makes an Infinity Gauntlet so that these chrome Thanos’ can be placed in.

Postby **Rantt** » Thu Oct 04, 2018 12:10 pm

For 6 chrome!!! I guess I can only choose just 1 ...purple!

Agreed, my local Walmart is the worst. And it wouldn't be a miracle If they make the new display in electronics. :eek:

Just wait, rainbow chrome Batmans probably coming soon!

I think every Walmart is terrible. They all seem to have unimaginably old things in electronics. Even newer stores somehow. Just moving inventory around I guess. :sleepy4:

I am absolutely hyped for these guys, gonna bring out the earlier purple australian exclusive to complete the 6

Postby **Rpiccioni1** » Fri Oct 05, 2018 6:50 pm

I think this was a cool idea! I just wish it wasn’t Walmart. As a in box collector getting a good box is like winning the lottery.

Postby **Restoretheroar** » Sat Oct 06, 2018 12:17 pm

Cant wait for these! maybe one of the few people who love these chromes!! not so much batman but trying to get all the marvel ones slowly!

That would be an awesome way to be able to display them. Imagine if they made it big enough so the pop could fit inside of each stone and there was an l.e.d. light in each stone to illuminate the Pops. The glimmer off the chrome would look so good!

Postby **funko_gtx91** » Sat Oct 06, 2018 5:36 pm

I am wondering if all Walmart’s get them or is it certain stores

I'm just saying....different worlds have different definitions of hygiene so really who knows what he could smell like if we think about it. :-s

On these if I can find them I'll get them. If I cant then I'm not going to worry about it. All I can say is it's freaking walmart.

So, my Walmart, just like everyone else's, is TERRIBLE about getting in new stock. But I am haunting them at the moment for MM (which have not appeared)...and lo and behold, what's on the shelf this week? All 6 of the Chrome Infinity Stone Thanii (that's what I'm going with for plural Thanos!). And they're all in great shape!! I just about fell over from the shock. Of course I'm back there with no cart or anything! I had to snag an empty easter-candy box halfway to the front of the store.

And of course this is all after I helped a friend out with a set at the local collectors place, but not for in-store prices. YEESH!!

Postby **Indy Viper** » Fri Apr 12, 2019 2:38 am

Yeah, I’ve seen a handful of Thanii restocks around Indianapolis, too. They’re trickling back out there apparently.

Maybe they had a lot of stock left at the warehouse, and they timed the restock around Endgame release. Too bad the armored Thanos Pop beats the IW Thanos by a mile in terms of looks and badassery lol

Congrats that you were able to snag them! I am hoping now that Endgame is getting closer we might start to seem them in stores more often.

Thanks! Yeah, I really couldn't believe my eyes! Such a surprise to see them in store! Far and away the best thing I've seen in the pop section of my store EVER, so of course they knock it out of the park this one time. Hopefully this is the start of a great new trend for them (and me!).

Unfortunately there was many of most of the colors, and only one of the purple, so I can't help out with a complete set for anyone else.

Postby **ghostrye** » Sun Apr 14, 2019 12:45 am

Wal Marts In Orlando are notoriously hard to find things in because they are open 24 hours and it’s hard to figure out what time stocking actually takes place.

Hopefully it does mean they are going to be stocking better. Supposedly their pops are supposed to be stocked now by a third party and not Walmart anymore.

Nice! I should check one my local ones here. I just need one more.

Postby **jullusion** » Mon Apr 15, 2019 5:38 am

Here in Canada, my walmart recently restocked them. I love them. In hand, they look absolutely amazing all together. Good luck to anyone still on the hunt, it's so worth it!

I've heard that, and it definitely seems to be true of my local-est WM, though it also seems to be making Brickseek completely useless. Which means a lot of running around with no clue as to what I might find in store! Ah well, part of the journey and adventure!
