I'm a bit confused. These didn't sell at Toys 'R Us because they were worried about popularity. So they sold at Walmart, and when I got mine, I saw about 10 on the shelves and they never moved. Now I can't seem to find one. I'm willing to pay double sticker price for anyone who has one, but not a single person has come forward. What's the scoop on this? Was this product taken off Walmart shelves and destroyed?

At least you got to buy one on the shelf! I had to pay scalper prices. Granted, it was early scalper prices, when there was a flood of people trying to unload their "super-rare" purchase so I only ended up paying $17 or so plus shipping, but still, I prefer an honest sale/auction (which, it's one of those things where I can't quite explain what makes one sale more honest than another, but I know it when I see it) than "I ran to Walmart and cleared the shelves... pay me more because I got there before you!"

i got mine the easy way, i told my sister that her nephew really really wants it for xmas, and sent her the ebay link. i dunno how much she paid for it, but she got it for him.
i never saw it on the shelves until about a month ago at walmart, with the toysrus exclusive sticker on it.

I never saw it any where - and I literally go to WalMart every day to check toys, etc.
I ended up buying one on Amazon for like $30

These were pretty abundant near me, and just saw one smashed up (still for sale) when I picked up the recent TF's 5 pack. Which one between this and the first TF's 5 pack came up $6.98 at Walmart? That was a deal.

Well, whatever the case, it appears that they are no longer in stores, or online stores, and not on ebay. Frustrating.

I checked 5 days a week at my local Wal-Mart and they never showed up, but I was able to find it on e-bay with relative ease. Costed about double as much as it would have been in stores though...

Finally found it on Amazon.com. It was labeled as "Spider-Man 3 Collection - Super Hero Squad" which is why the keywords "Sand Pit Stand-off" turned up an empty search....

$23. Not bad considering it has been scarce.

Bizarrely enough, I managed to snag one at Times Square TRU, yesterday. I don't know how it got there, what its situation was. I thought they'd bypassed TRU altogether and went straight to Walmart, but I suppose someone could have returned it and the unknowning store clerk just rang it back through as whatever Spider-Man project they had in their system at whatever price point the customer said it was.
It was for $15, they ahd the tag printed saying it was a "paperholder" or something similar. I don't know.
it was all alone on the top shelf of a single display (anyone who's visited TRU in NYC knows that some of it's action figures can get short shrift) next to a bunch of Jean Grey Black Queens.
I wonder if this means I'll find Fin Fang Foom and New Sentinel on the shelf months after everyone else has stopped trafficking in them.
