Its just shipping costs are a pain in the ass. You know, walmart could still get it but carry them like the $200 Lego sets and keep them site to store quality. This prevents over ordering and shelf space but allows consumers to get it easier and cheaper (free shipping!)
Then walmart could order like 200-300 at a time and let them sit in the warehouse until being ordered.
Win-Win
