SEPTEMBER 26, 2012, early Wednesday afternoon at Walmart, Santa Maria, California

Back at Walmart to check out the toys and again no customers to speak of. Considering that the action figures only occupy the north side of a single 20 ft. rack, there is a good assortment available and little wasted space. Instead of endcaps there is an feature island that is currently hosting the Marvel's Avengers movie tie-in products. The island features Iron Man, The Hulk, and Captain America products:
HERO MASKS which are very cool looking but pricey at $22.96 USD
the unreal SHIELD HELICARRIER priced at $88.88 USD!
more reasonably priced HULK GAMMA GREEN SMASH FISTS, CAPTAIN AMERICA SHIELD, & IRON MAN MISSION MASK OR IRON MAN TRI POWER REPULSOR at $16.96 USD
12" figures of Iron Man, Captain America, and the Hulk at $16.97 USD
and various LEGO products priced from $12.97 to $69.97 USD.

The regular rack's product lines have not changed since last month. The TMNT line seems to have sold well. The figures that caught my eye were the Bandai Power Rangers Super Samurai 4"+ figures and have a great price of $6.97 USD for these figures and $10.97 USD for the larger figures.

On the south side of the regular rack can be found Hot Wheels. These collectibles have fallen out of favor with most collectors since the 1990s when interest seemed to peak. But it is hard to beat the price of only 97 cents US for one of the small vehicles.
