Not everyone bought those or those that did probably long since left this forum. Your better bet is Facebook, try the g14 merch group. /Toy/ definitely isn't any better.

Also, do NOT trust Brickseek. When the rampage stuff hit I was staring at all of the merch while Brickseek said none of it was in stock at my Walmart. Same goes with some world of Nintendo stuff.
I’m having the same problem here.

I still have some of the 2014 destruction buildings. If I can ever find the freaking Jakks ones I’ll post a shot with all of them

I got the Godzilla and King Ghidorah set this past Friday. I wasn't exactly expecting a lot since it's Jakks Pacific and also $10, but I still can't help but feel a bit disappointed by this set. Godzilla's ok, but King Ghidorah's the one I'm really displeased with. No matter what I do, I can't keep him standing when his wings are spread out. He just topples right over, his wings are too heavy with nothing to act as a counterbalance. In order to keep him standing for my picture, I had to have him stand on an angled surface so he could lean back. Also as other people have said, his wing joints are really loose, meaning you can't really fine-tune the posing to find a more balanced position. I was gonna get the other small sets because I enjoy smaller figures like this in addition to more standard-sized figures, but I think i'll just wait and see how the SHMAs and NECA stuff turns out.

I'm surprised the smaller Jakks sets are getting individual releases in Mexico

I am appreciative of your efforts! It's a real drag, I wanted to pick up the Mothra set.

It looks like the Jakks Ghidorah being sold in Asian is a little different than the one in Walmart. Here's a review from Taiwan that I spotted. Notice the mouths are painted pink, and there appears to be more black paint on the figure.

Chris, the masks have been sighted in stores. There's a pic on Facebook of a shelf display with about three.

The Jakk's minture sets remind me a little of the trend masters play sets.

Those are not from Walmart. They're from 3rd party sellers and also grossly overpriced.

Sadly, these aren't being sold by Walmart directly. Rather being sold by Toywiz.com through Walmart's website. So the prices are jacked up like crazy.

Blame Walmart and their stranglehold on the retail toy business. With places like Toys R Us gone, manufacturers don't have much of an outlet for "risky" toylines like this one. Yes, it's a major Hollywood movie, but its also competing in a business that is continuously being dominated by electronics and video games PLUS it has to contend shelf space with much larger properties like Transformers, Marvel and Star Wars. So, to sell their product, they go with the retailer that has the biggest outreach but also the catch of making them a store exclusive. It's a shitty business, unfortunately.
