WolverineX Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) Yeah, most of the packs are gone at my Local stores. Edited August 20, 2021 by Wolverinex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocCRR Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) The newer packs have the orange Walmart sticker on them. The High Republic 3 pack is from the prior batch. The high ratio variants are only in the newest packs (w/ orange sticker). If you dont care about the books you get and are just looking for the thrill of unpacking, have at it. If you are looking for variants - look for an all white spine or a white spine with black tick marks. There are other variants with different colors but I am not sure how to identify these. The all-white variants could include : Xmen 1:5 titles (storm, kitty pryde, colossus, etc.), black knight momoko virgin, etc. The white with black markings could include : ASM 55 1:50 Gleason, 1:100 Moon Knight 200, 1:1000 Hulk. MATCH tTHE MARKINGS WITH THE PIC SCANS ON THIS FORUM OR ELSEWHERE ! The white with a uniformly spaced grid-like markings would be the 'design variants'. Also, a purple spine with yellow splotches along it is the 1:200 Eternals 1 Kirby Crackle variant. The above are some indicators that could help you identify some of the variants (no guarantees !!) without tearing the wrapping. Many packs have books of no value (except for the reading fun of course !). You can then return the unopened packs to Walmart for a refund. Good luck !

But it does completely puncture the idea that many of these books indeed have limited print runs. What's the story about 5 and Below and UF4? I don't believe I heard about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is insane. That must have happened a long time ago because I don't remember this at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfactor1 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Went to my 2 local Walmarts(I live in backwoods) that usually has these untouched. Completely gone. Not a one. There was 20-30 of these just 10 days ago when I was there. I had bought like 8 packs myself but none look like they have anything good. V.

Real Elijah Snow Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Unfortunately I never got a photo with them all together as they were going to slab town as fast as I could get them. This was the most I found in one day though. Probably had another 2-3 days where I found 6-7 each time in addition to these. littledoom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Elijah Snow Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Best guess, I had around 30. I was crazed. The times were wild. The women were losing their minds with desire over my abilities. PeterPark and maidenmate91 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Elijah Snow Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Also, just realized ya'll were talking about the UF4 ones..Never had a single one. Probably a regional situation since I had so many Silks (Times still wild/women still lost it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
