Went back in yesterday & found the comics.One row of Marvel & one DC.Guess they had them in the back.

Side question.Have these run their course? If you have them is it better to keep them unopened or see what's inside? If they reduce the ones they have now I may snatch them up.Last year I scored a bunch of the model kits they had reduced to $5 each.Sweet!

I dunno. Keeping them sealed too long may cause eventual warping and corner bending. But there may be potential buyers who hope for big ratio or exclusive variants in unopened packs. But if potential buyers just want the Walmart exclusive books, then opening is best, probably.

Personally, I've opened all mine.

Not Walmart, but grabbed a couple of 4 for $4 packs at Five Below. Nothing special, but man Marvel has had some weird variant cover themes, haven't they? Marvel Anatomy?

I visited a new (for me, not actually "new") Walmart recently and grabbed 3 7-for-$10 packs. Just sharing. I miss getting new packs, but it felt good to open these.

I can answer that one. It's X-Men Legends v2 (2022) #1. But as with a lot of these Walmart packs, it appears to be distinguishable from the standard direct market printing, which has a barcode at lower left.

Sorry for the late reply. I'm in Texas.

Where in the store do they typically have the comics? 

I am not even sure where to look.  I have checked over by where the books are typically, lately I have noticed that they also have cards behind the counter.

Many thanks.

Do they still include high ration variants in the Walmart packs like they used to when they first came out? I hit some 1:500 and 1:1000s in the first generation packs which were nice wins.

That wasn't when they first came out.

That was when Diamond lost the Marvel account to Penguin. They are the ones who make the packs and they dropped all their extras in there, including store exclusives, as an FU to Marvel. That's my take at least.

Oh. I had not seen them in Walmarts up here in Canada until then. Those packs were fantastically profitable.
