Don't forget that Crystal Ball supposedly goes up tomorrow morning on Walmart at 10am EST

I hope the accessories glow like in the pictures and don't just look like boring transparent plastic without backlighting. I also hope they float.
In all seriousness, his accessories are neat but this pistol and holster take the cake for me:
Did Lenny mention in that last interview that Crystal Balls accessories were just green and non glowing? But apparently Radioactive Snake Eyes hands glow.
Ordering Crystal Ball was surprisingly easy.
Now, let's see if Walmart can actually deliver on the preorder .....
@neal That is what is making me nervous about Walmart right now. Preorders are easy to get in, but the follow through on fulfilling the preorders is whack. The last preorders I had came into stock a few weeks before preorders were due and the preorders didn’t get fulfilled. Very unnerving.
I got an order in at Walmart and also Hasbro Pulse because with Walmart you never know. Looks like he is sold out now at both places.
Crystal Ball was also up on Pulse for a bit, but is now sold out.
Just checked an C-Ball sold out in under an hour. Not sure how long it actually took, but Spider-Man '77 and the 2 Transformers are still up. Seems they underestimated how popular this weirdo will be.
The thing that made me grumpy about the Crystal Ball sell out is this - I got my order in right at 7 am, fine... but there were two things I wanted today - Richard "CB" King and the TMNT Chote figure. But at 7 am Chote was not available to order. His listing was on the page but not live. So I ordered Crystal Ball and ate the shipping charge. I check again at 7:30... Chote still not available to order. Must have got the day wrong. Check again at 7:55 - nope, Chote is now live. Cool, I place the order for $49.95 - and then figure I'll order a Crystal Ball with him, qualify for free shipping and cancel the initial order - but nope, as you guys say, Crystal Ball is now sold out. So I'm stuck paying shipping on each of the two separate orders because Wal Mart is a bunch of assholes!
Missed out on Crystal Ball. Went up too early for me (I’m on west coast time). I’m sure he’ll pop back into stock on WM. I’ll just keep checking.
@panthercult Would ordering two Crystal Ball to get free shipping and then return the extra later work? Or does Walmart tack on the shipping charge?
Company president interrupted me during Crystal Ball's availability window. Does that guy know I have action figures to preorder?
I missed two preorders in a row.
So, I think the Wal Mart free shipping kicks in at purchases over $50 - so two Crystal Ball figures wouldn't do it, since he's $24.97 or whatever... you'd need to add something else - a pack of gum, a bag of chips, anything to push the pre-tax price above the $50 threshhold. That's why the Chote thing was annoying because his base price is $49.97... so with Cyrstal Ball added the two would have qualified, but each by themselves did not, so I'm eating like eleven bucks in shipping for no good reason other than Wal Mart shenanigans
@panthercult Actually, the free shipping kicks in at $35 for most orders. Maybe it's different for certain items, but I just tested it with the Masterverse Faker figure, and it told me that free shipping kicked in at $35.
As for leor's question, I have ordered two of an item in the past to trigger free shipping and was able to return one to the store without incurring the shipping cost.
In some cases, you can order two (or more) items to get free shipping, and then cancel an item later from the order, and still keep the free shipping ... even if the new total drops below the minimum.
As always, your mileage may vary with Walmart's convoluted system.
