If none of the FRERs showed up within the time frame I'd assume they're evaps. FRERs are unfortunately notoriously bad about having evaps. If the faint positive did show up in the time frame on any of them then I'd assume that the Wal-mart brand tests are negative because they're far less sensitive than FRERs. FRERs read positive at around 8.3miu of hCG. Wal-mart brand test reads positive around 25miu of hCG. If you got a faint positive on a FRER I wouldn't expect you to be able to get a positive on less sensitive brands for a day or two.
If it were me I'd test again in a day or two. Hopefully the FRER will darken enough for you to call it a BFP and/or you'll be able to confirm with another brand. :)
