Alright, I deserve to be throttled. definitely an RTM but not for WooCommerce, for Wordpress. Solution found due to a JOLT cola (all hail JOLT cola).

TASK: Field named 'related_product_ids' added to a custom post type. So when that post is displayed mini product displays can be displayed with it.

PROBLEM: Was having a problem getting the multiple ids returned via WP_Query.

SOLUTION:

$related_id_list          = get_post_custom_values('related_product_ids');
    // Get comma delimited list from current post
$related_product_ids      = explode(",", trim($related_id_list[0],','));
    // Return an array of the IDs ensure no empty array elements from extra commas
$related_product_post_ids = array( 'post_type' => 'product', 
                                   'post__in'  => $related_product_ids,
                                   'meta_query'=> array( 
                                        array( 'key'    => '_visibility',
                                               'value'  => array('catalog', 'visible'),'compare' => 'IN'
                                        )
                            ) 
);      
    // Query to get all product posts matching given IDs provided it is a published post
$loop = new WP_Query( $related_posts );
    // Execute query
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); $_product = get_product( $loop->post->ID );
    // Do stuff here to display your products 
endwhile;

Thank you for anyone who may have spent some time on this.
