Yup, picked it up at Walmart a few weeks back.
The articulation on the zombies is significantly less than on the other figs.
my walmart had some LEGO on sale so I picked up Batcave $45, Castle Dragon mountain $35, Republic gunship $70, Lone Ranger Silver Mine $35 and Batman: Riddler chase $25.
I get surgery tomorrow so the wife can't be upset with me as it's my sympathy present to myself.

found the zombie sets finally and promptly put them back on the shelf. no articulation on them except the head. how can the same people that make the CoD articulated military figures NOT put articulation ob figures from the same series. At the pricepoint these are, there should definitely be more articulation.

it seriously sucks though, a mini figure with hardly any articulation? I had both sets in my cart as the wife continued to shop, I was looking over the package and realized this. Grabbed the LEGO AT-TE that was on clearance for $60 instead.
Per the TF boards:

Not surprised, as it seemed they sold only mediocre at best and often ended up on clearance, but I really love the little Kreons. I couldn't care less about the actual building sets, but I really like the little guys.
With Toy Fair 2014 fast approaching, we have received a tip about the fate of the Transformers Kre-O line. According to the information which we have received, the Transformers Kre-O series is currently on hiatus, pending a relaunch as a Toys R Us exclusive, and it is not clear whether the final remaining items will see a release.
We may learn more at Toy Fair 2014 - but for now, you heard it here first. Kre-O is on hiatus but may come back as a Toys R Us exclusive.

Went shopping tonight and bought all 12 of the DnD Kre_o blind packs as well as 6 of the special sets (Drizzt!) a couple of the new star wars troop sets (death star gunners, royal guards, and kashyyk Troopers) Batman and Penguin set, Transformer Kre-O customizer sets.
They had the new WWII Call of Duty sets but I was already over my daily limit so I have to wait until a later date.

It's funny. When I buy kre-o's, I'm 90% interested in the little guys and about 10% in the actual building sets. With these CoD sets, I really like the little environment pieces and some of the larger vehicles, but I couldn't care less about the multitude of army men, zombies, or other useless people. Some of those small sets look cool, but none of them look $12-$15 cool. 42 sand-colored bricks should be about $2.50, but they won't be.
1:18th took the backseat a while ago. Been focusing on my block collecting. Also, series * HALO blind bags are out, I saw them at Target but already had my cart full of stuff 
Its better that way. Walmart and Target can't seem to handle any other brick lines other than LEGO. TRU has lots of dedication to that market.
I can find pretty much any set I want at TRU AND they tend to have the buy one get one 50% sales often.
So what are you planning with all these duplicate sets? Were they giving them away? I don't think I've ever bought multiples of a lego set, other than some Joe Kreo sets just to get the kreons. That looks like two grand worth of plastic bricks... Don't get me wrong, more power to you, but wtf are you gonna do with a half-a-dozen rancor playsets?!
Somewhere in St Louis, cops are searching for the infamous "Lego Bandits", robbing WMs wearing bright yellow ski masks with smiley faces drawn on them...

We piece them out, selling duplicate figs, maybe some parts or sell whole sets.
My walmart had a shitload of lego on clearance. we proposed to the manager that we would buy $2k worth of lego if they give us a deal. They granted a $500 off total purchase at that offer. So we promptly bought them out. It was the only walmart that had enough lego stuff to make such and offer.
