Early Christmas Displays start at Wal-Mart Today

[DESTRO]

Starting today, select Wal-Mart brick and mortar stores will have new end-cap and stand alone displays featuring new G.I. Joe and Transformers merchandise. These displays should have the newest waves and product types available to them, regardless if their older stock has sold out.

Each SKU/size/class/case assortment will only have two cases available. Of note for G.I. Joe fans, the 25th Anniversary box sets should be included.

Wal-Mart apparently is doing this in order to gauge interest for the Christmas season on these and other lines, and is internally calling this "Early Christmas Displays".

These special displays of new product start going up today and should be completed by the 14th in most stores which are participating. Happy hunting!

When board members start finding these displays we should post in this thread so others can go on the hunt.

As far as I know they have already started on the west coast.

Wait, so once the 2 cases of each assortment/wave/case are sold out, does that mean they will not be replenished until those toys hit the rest of the mass market outlets?

I looked at 2 walmarts earlier this week, and 1 yesterday, but no joy yet. I have a feeling the Super Walmarts that have a lot of traffic will be the first stores to get these displays.
