I am in the email club as well. I was shocked, especially since it claims to be coming today.

Not me, freaking out over not receiving that same email for this set I've been anxiously awaiting since they announced Quarrel.  Yay, store exclusives!

@vicious7171 I received no email either but I checked the Walmart app and according to it it should be delivered tomorrow. The FedEx app also has it listed so it seems to be real although FedEx doesn't have a delivery date listed yet...

@lightsyder ahh thanks, I checked the app and on there it's at least at "Processing" which I'll take as a win!

EDIT:  Says it will be delivered via Lasership (what?) on Monday the 21st.  This is the first I've heard of Lasership.

My Falcon/Quarrel set should arrive in the next few hours.

I got Starduster today from Pulse.  

Nowhere near the best figure in the line, but he's pretty nice.

Roadblock (or whoever that's supposed to be) mounting the giant "Red Rocket" on the back of the cereal box cracks me up.  🤣

Walmart has stopped sending me any emails. Order Confirmations. Delays. Shipments.
It's all just a wonderful Walmart mystery!

That being said, Quarrel & slackjaw were sent yesterday and received today.

Make sure not to manhandle Starduster's box, especially from the bottom because the cereal box is a perforated part of the inside backer card.  I carefully slit the tape, but occasional I'll tear a box apart like an animal.

I really appreciate Starduster's open left hand. It looks good cradling the rifle.  Didn't notice that was part of his accessories.  I wouldn't mind if that type of hand was included with every figure.  You wouldn't believe how something so simple can raise a figure up a notch.

Turning into a good Joe day.  FedEx dropped off Quarrel, Falcon and Starduster.  Waiting on two retro Cobras and Sarge/Leatherneck with Triple T/Kup from Amazon.  Walmart Quarrel's hips moved right out of the box unlike the one I got from Pulse.

I think my Venoms came via them and I’ve had stuff from Ali Express come from them too. I was scared at first as well but it all arrived safely in a timely manner, so I couldn’t complain. 

However my Quarrel set is coming Fed Ex and is already in town for delivery tomorrow. So I won’t complain about that either.

Starduster is a pretty simple repaint, but the color palette f'n works. Same with Quarrel. That lady is about to go to the front of the display.

I didn't realize Starduster is basically Duke with a different head, but the Vintage Duke is a heck of an action figure so I don't mind a different color on that base buck. Makes me wonder if we're going to get a Jet Pack Duke Sunbow style later on. 

Gonna try a tiny bit of shock oil in Quarrel's shoulder tonight to see if that helps with ROM. I absolutely love the figure otherwise, perfect parts reuse, but not having full movement on either arm is driving me nuts. 

I feel like there's gotta be a comedy skit that can be done with the Falcon re-do of his face. Like someone's gotta make a joke that they recast him in the third season of the show or something.

I'll chime in as another one who got NF Falcon/Quarrel from Pulse today.   I preordered from Pulse first when it wasn't immediately available on Walmart.ca.   Then I forgot to order on .ca and it sold out so all good on my end.

And let me also say thank you to the Joe team for correcting that terrible Falcon head with this new one.   Just wish it wasn't in a 2-pack due to cost, and it would have been nice to have a second head so I don't have to sacrifice NF Falcon to get a good looking regular Falcon.   

Oh well, I'll just have to head canon that NF Falcon is older and more beat down from multiple missions while the regular Falcon is the one I know better.

I put some DC Superman head (that didn't look at all like Superman) on my original Falcon and am satisfied with that so this Night Force version can keep his updated Falcon head.   But I am glad they fixed it - that first figure's face was an affront.

I’ve had the Falcon 2 pack since Monday, but only got around to open it today. Swapped the heads immediately. Now normal Falcon looks soooo much better. As for Quarrel, I’m not familiar with her but more female joes are always welcome. And with Glenda coming soon, all the more better. Now I kinda wish they get to that female Snake Eyes and the female Doc. More medics Hasbro!  Where long overdue for a Lifeline as well.

It’s raining Joes! Hallelujah! It’s raining Joes, every package I get!

So much to enjoy unboxing. Should keep me till December when more are due. Feasting on Classified unboxings till Thanksgiving.

Tonite I dined on Edward Starduster Skylar. Great fig! It did take neck mods to get him to look up. There’s a bump on back of the base of the chamber the neck rests. It also needed more space for ball peg to move back. That bubble had a death grip on everything. Had to heat up all guns as they all warped.

Anyway a little maintenance and it’s a blast!

The cereal box cut out cracked me up. So much cool. Bonus fists and pointing fingers for grey glove wearing Classifieds to use. 

Thwipp!
