Quoted from arcademojo:Here is the link for Walmart. They have them right now.

Awesome, link is still good, thx! The good thing about Walmart is if it sucks, it’s pretty easy to return things
It looks like the Marvel edition from Walmart is no longer available, mine still says it will arrive on Wednesday, despite not being shipped yet. We shall see...
Just got done putting together my Star Wars version and played it for about 30 minutes, here’s my initial impressions
The good
- No flipper lag that I noticed. This was probably my biggest concern seeing some of the other comments
- Sturdy and well built, took about an hour to put together (you do have to assemble the back box, most of the time was spent here)
- Surprisingly good sound from the puny speakers. Loud and clear
- Easy to navigate menus
- Good looking cabinet, simple, but good
- The Haptic Touch flippers are pretty decent and the solenoids add just enough, although a touch more response would be better
The bad
- Playfield is small. The recessed screen and the large blank void at the bottom make it feel even smaller
- Flat graphics. I was expecting the 3D look of the Zen tables that I have on my computer, but this isn’t even close. Some pretty jagged edges to be be found as well. This is probably the biggest issue I have with it so far
- Some of the finishing touches aren’t great. A decent amount of minor blemishes pretty much everywhere on the cabinet and backbox. I’m not sure if it was the packaging or a production flaw, but the “lockdown bar” has a bunch of uniformly shaped scuffs that won’t buff out (at least not with elbow grease). The weld on the inside of one of my legs was slightly off as well and it took a bit of finagling to get it attached
Overall, it’s fun but I’m not sure it’s a keeper. If you’ve got kids, I think they would love it, but it feels like something I’m going to bore of fairly quickly. Granted I’ve only played for 30 minutes so far, but I’m just not sure I can get past the flat graphics, it actually gives me a bit of a headache. I’ll update if I think of anything else
