WalMart 3 Packs Gen 14a

They are back again 23-06-02 with the same sticker Spidy storm and iron man.  For those tracking this is Gen 14a.  It seems like they hit the shelves a little latter than usual.  I was expecting them in May.  8 Different Titles   3 x Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2023 #1 WalMart Variant Cover, Package UPC 759606205356     2 x Murderworld: Moon Knight Vol 2023 #1 gold recolor in MoonKnight title Paco Medina, Packaging UPC 759606204892 2 x Planet of

Walmart Gen 04 Symbiote Spider-Man #1

This pickup is a Symbiote Spider-Man #1 WalMart Variant.  This was the 1st print of the walmart exclusive with the UPC in the lower right corner.   I have been doing too much ebay shopping.  This one was a good price though just about face value + shipping.  Only 39 different seal packs left on my need list.  Also I am expecting in the next week or so the next Generation of books should start showing up if the release patter stays constant.

Walmart Gen 06 Strange Academy #1

I was able to score a Strange Academy #1 WalMart Variant.  This was the 1st print of the walmart exclusive with the red title.   I broke down and got it on ebay.  This one was a bit more pricey.  The title itself seems to be selling pretty well so it was no shock that the cost was up there.  This was the 1st one in good condition which I have seen within the past 6 months so I went for it.   Only 40 different seal packs left on my need list.

Walmart Gen 06b Champions #1

I was able to score a Champions #1 WalMart Variant.  It was still in real nice condition as well.  Sadly this was not in the wild, I broke down and got it on ebay.  Still 13.50 shipped seemed like a no brainier.  It was part of a 3 lot 3 pack set which is why the cost was so reasonable.  I am slowly closing in on all my known needed issues.  Only 41 different seal packs left.

Walmart Gen 04a Spider-Verse #1 1st Print

I was able to score a 1st print Spider-Verse #1 WalMart Variant with the Light blue and white logo today.  It was still in real nice condition as well.  Sadly this was not in the wild, I broke down and got it on ebay.  Still 13.50 shipped seemed like a no brainier.  It was part of a 3 lot 3 pack set which is why the cost was so reasonable.  These seem to go for 20+ without issue.

WalMart 3 Packs Gen 14

23-02-16 They are back again with a new sticker Spidy storm and iron man.  For those tracking this is Gen 14.  I don’t know why Storm looks so Glum.  Also I know this journal entery is very similar to my post on the WalMart thread.  I guess I am hopping that even if CGC pulls the thread down they would keep the journal.  But I guess that is the risk in producing content for a 3rd party site.    8 Different Titles   1x Black Panther: Unconquered Vol 2023 #1 Wal Mart Variant

WalMart 3 Pack Gen 07

I was able to pick up a Spider-Verse #1 WalMart 3 Pack with a Gen07 label this past week.  This puts me 1/2 way completed for Generation 07.  I was able to get a decent price on ebay for it.  Sadly I was unable to find it in the wild, or at a show.  Hopefully the info which is collected bellow will be helpful to anyone else who is trying to put these runs together.  On this batch I do not have any of the quantity which were released in each shipment to the stores.  If anyone has that info I woul

WalMart 3 Pack Gen 06b

?Gen 06b 10/2020? The last post on this thread was 11-29-20 with someone picking up new Iron Man 1, Black Widow Widow's Sting 1 and two Black Widow 1 three packs. https://boards.cgccomics.com/topic/444527-walmart-marvel-comics-variants/page/8/#comments.  It looks like Gen 07 came out in 11 or 12 of this month based off of the posts.  This looks like another batch where they were using the Gen 06 sticker but new batches of books were having release dates which were clearly after the initial

WalMart Gen 06a Venom #25

I was able to score a 1st print Venom #25 WalMart Variant with the White logo today.  It was still in real nice condition as well.  I am not sure if I am missing the 8th title which was released or if they just shipped more books which already were using that sticker.  Either way I have been able to get one of each except for the ASM 45.  ?Gen 06a 07/2020? No good posts outlining a new wave but judging by the number of title which used this sticker my best guess is that they put out 3

Gen 13 11/20/2022 - Confirmed 8 Titles

Sunday was spent driving to Wal Marts and listening to the Bears loose on the Radio.  I was able to get my copies of what I am denoting as Gen 13 of these books.  They are still selling for 9.00 which is a good price for new books.  I have a copy to hold and a copy to open so I will also post what is inside when I have a chance, probably going to do 1 per day over the holiday.  I am a little bummed, this batch of Walmart Exclusives all have dropped the upc as part of their redesign.  How can the

2022-10-08

Today was a good day.  Stopped @ a Walmart in South Bend IN ST# 02680.  I was able to find a Valkyrie: Jane Foster #1 Gen4 , Excalibur #1 Gen5, & Road to Empyre: The Kree / Skrull War #1 Gen6.  All for the standard 9.00 for the 3 packs!  At some point I will post a check list that I and others can use.   I don't know why I like grabbing these, I just like seeing comics in non comic book store settings.
