Yes. I saw them in a Walmart about 30 minutes away from me the other day. They had 36 on the shelf. Yeah, I counted them.

36 Wow! That is good to know. Hopefully I can find one.

I got mine shipped to store, weren't any on shelves tho. Joined my other chromies today!

oh. that's a good looking pop.. having mine shipped to me but they sure picked a slow delivery method. i'd ship to store but there aren't any convenient walmarts near me.

Ordered mine for store pick up. Says it'll be available for pick up tomorrow. I was just there today and they didn't have any...we shall see what happens.

Mine arrived yesterday. They had a bunch of the other exclusives (Saw, B&W Daryl, etc), but none of the chrome troopers on the shelf.

Still nothing here - online or in-store. Bah. Will probably have to wait a bit longer.

I went to my local Walmart tonight and found 4 chrome Death Troopers in the Pop section of the toy section. All 4 boxes were in good shape. I bought the only one that had good green paint. The other 3 had issues with either being under painted or over painted.

I was hoping I would find that Daryl the other day when I stopped by since I'd heard lots of folks saying they'd been seeing him. But, I had to settle for finding those 36 Chrome Death Troopers. While I was surprised to find them, it really didn't matter to me one way or the other since I already had two ordered online. It was amazing to see that many just sitting there on the shelf, though. They also had a few Dr. Harleens and Jokers. However, I got angry because I could never find them before and ended up just selling off my entire Suicide Squad set. So, I left those there too.

I did go pick up my online order today. Both boxes were in perfect shape. Better than almost all of those on the shelf. And this Pop looks amazing. I've never displayed one out of box, but this one may make me change my mind on that.

On a side note, all of those Dr. Harleens were gone tonight and only one Joker was left. I'd say probably 30-ish of those Death Troopers were still there though.

Just picked up my order and I now have two chrome death troopers!!!

Postby **valorandvellum** » Sat Dec 31, 2016 8:31 pm

Went by today and was able to find some. Brickseek showed conflicting data a couple days ago and wasn't sure if there were 8 or 0. I saw three on the pile on the shelf - there could have been more but I didn't want to dig through all the Daryls. Grabbed one for Brett and one for my giveaway stash.

I also noticed that my Walmart now has two piles of Pops. One is mostly Star Wars and the other is mostly Walmart exclusives.

Cedar Park, TX (suburb of Austin) Wal-Mart had several chrome death troopers (at least 5, probably more). They also had Harleen and Joker (past tense-since I bought them! LOL!)

Uh oh. Hope that isn't a common problem for these!

Got mine in the mail on Friday which was great because the estimated delivery date wasn't until January 5th. Looks great, definitely loving this one!

Postby **angeladominguez** » Tue Jan 03, 2017 9:26 pm

Found this one in Houston!

Postby **racheva** » Tue Jan 03, 2017 9:33 pm

Got mine delivered from Walmart a few days ago. Box was very mildly dented at one corner with a crease, but not the end of the world for me. They definitely should have packaged it apart from my C batteries lmao.

Postby **Megacam** » Wed Jan 04, 2017 10:20 am

got mine the other day and it is sweet!

Postby **edmomo** » Wed Jan 04, 2017 10:27 am

Mine comes today. Based on what everyone was saying I'm praying it didn't look like it was shipped in a mystery mini box.

Postby **Imagery** » Wed Jan 04, 2017 10:49 am

Still no sign here, but my Walmart's Pop game is usually pretty weak anyway. You'd think that selling most or all Funko stock each time they get any would be indication enough to order larger supplies.

Postby **xbox_jeff** » Wed Jan 04, 2017 12:22 pm

Got my two yesterday in the mail. Thankfully, they showed in descent shape, except the label Walmart put on them. Thankfully, the label was easy to remove with no residue.

Postby **synergy56** » Wed Jan 04, 2017 12:38 pm

Picked mine up a few days ago - ordered shipped to store and everything was in great condition! I was pleasantly surprised. It really is a great looking Pop!

Is this the giant label they sometimes slap on the top of the boxes? I really don't care for those labels. lol

And it's weird because it's not very consistent. Sometimes they have the label, sometimes they don't.

I had mine shipped to the store. If your in box collector, you will be rolling the dice with this process.

Mine had a giant label on it. I was almost able to take it off without glue or broken pieaces but it failed at the end...

Also they shipped mine in a thin bag so my box was all beat up.

I guess I was just super unlucky...

Yeah, shipping to the store is super hit or miss. I've had Pops arrive in a variety of sizes of boxes, and a variety of packing material (or lack thereof) as well. I'd say about 33% of the time, I'm lucky with a good box and no giant label. The other 66% of the time it has varying degrees of bad to REALLY bad box damage and/or a giant label on the top of the box.

aw man that sucks that it wasn't minty. I picked up mime from my PO box today and it arrived in great shape with no stickers although the shipping box was way too big with only one air pad. I've been pretty lucky lately with paying for shipping to me. In the past free shipping to store has been hit or miss for me.

got mine just after Christmas (got it 12/26) when Brickseek sent me an email which store near me he showed up at... several others didn't so hit the store up first thing and snagged one for me and one for a friend.

Postby **michael** » Sun Jan 08, 2017 11:09 am

I ordered ship-to-store but showed up the last day, later than the last time I had to pick it up (just too tied up w/RL). Fortunately, they had at least a dozen on the shelf (Kearny, NJ for local friends looking), so I had my pick. They refunded me the pick up automatically. He looks really nice.

Postby **valorandvellum** » Mon Jan 09, 2017 1:51 pm

Seems like Walmart is getting a lot better about stocking up on exclusives lately. I don't want to jinx it, but maybe the Dr. Harleen days are over! lol

Postby **odnar** » Mon Jan 09, 2017 1:59 pm

yah i hope they do just as well with the upcoming SW and Beast exclusives as they did with the Chrome DT and even the recent dorbz!

Had no luck finding these in CT until I went to the Wallingford store. They have 20-30 of them!

I still can't find these anywhere in San Diego and can't find them online...beginning to think this one may elude me forever

I am in San Diego too and I can't find him. Everyone is saying he has been easy to find. I feel like I am going crazy. Maybe San Diego did not get as much in stock...

Postby **odnar** » Wed Jan 11, 2017 1:47 pm

Wow I didn't realize that these were not showing up in stores in SD...I got mine fairly easy online when they released 2-3 weeks ago. I was surprised that my local WM got the disney and bats dorbz as well as Saw when he was released so I just assumed that the Chrome DT was available in SD as well.

Have to start checking my Walmarts.

There are people finding 20 of them in store. I'm sure some nice Funatics wouldn't mind helping you guys out if you still can't find them. :-)

I think my store had just a few when I last checked and not sure if they restocked. If anybody needs me to keep an eye out, let me know.

Ship-to-store is definitely a nice way to guarantee a Pop. But if you're an in box collector, it can be a nightmare. I've received crushed boxes and boxes with giant labels on the top before. And even if you're oob, it's nice to look at the Pops on the shelves to make sure the paint job is ok. But ship-to-store is certainly better than not getting one at all!

You could always ship to store a few and when it comes pick out the best ones and return the rest cause thats much easier then checking walmart everyday for shipment
