Not a big Walmart fan, but I go in periodically. There is one in my town. There is one in every town. But over the last few years, around Christmas, I have been hearing about small, pallet-sized displays dropped off at some Walmarts with model kits. Mostly cars, but have had a side dedicated to Star Trek. Well, after hearing about a new display of this on SSM, I finally I have found it at my Wally World! Bought a couple of kits, 1/1000 NX-01 Refit and Reliant for about $20 each. There were also some Enterprise kits, both TMP and Disco versions, and the 1/1000 Grissom/BoP. Ig they are still there next week, I'll see about getting another Grissom kit and Refit Enterprise, though those were about $25 each.

Just FYI.

Sadly, I have yet to see them at my local Walmart.

I would love to see those back in stores, the prices on Amazon started around there, but have steadily climbed until they're really asking a lot for those little kits.

The Grissom/BoP duo especially feels like about $10 worth of plastic, tops.  Not to knock the quality of the kit, because it's fine, they're just itty bitty ships.

That's cool news! EVERYONE used to sell models. Now its more of a specialty thing. - MT
