Conquest, I think that Mgr might have been joshing you. Remember, we did just find the "hard to find" wave of Para-Viper, PP Baroness, Doctor, etc...at Wal*Mart.
I think this guy just has no idea wtf he's talking about, or didn't clarify that his store will probably not be carrying them. No worries, man. The MN'ers will pull through and get our two packs! |

You know, they have managers in training fire one and you'll get another. I've complained to managers, to District Managers, to Regional Managers and to their customer service e-mail on the site. It does not do a damn thing. Besides, it's not the manager's fault that (s)he doesnt have the product. It's some pecker in LR Ar cans ASS that makes that decision. Wally Worlds are plentiful and you can probably go walmart hopping on your lunch break so if one doest suit you there are usually 5 others within a half hour.
I can tell you there is plenty o space at the walmart for what ever they want to sell. If pecker Mc Gee in home office says so anyhow. MSNBC had some show on a few years back (still airs) about Walmarts system. When bad weather is going to hit Florida they know to ship strawberry poptarts in mass. Why? Because they know that during rough Florida weather those folks like them for some reason. |

Nope. It's a huge computer system that tells them "no one buys this at store # 1234, don't ship more there".

Seriously though, if that one walmart had anything to sell in the first place I think it would have been bought. TRU, Target and the surrounding Walmarts had stock that was moving...but this one just had a peg of figures no one wants. I think Wild Bill was prevalent at the Walmarts! Dont remember ever seeing him at TRU or Target. |

Dont remember ever seeing him at TRU or Target. Look odds are the manager at this walmart in question was just giving a blow off answer anyway. Best way to keep from getting asked about ROC figs. Tell people they are never getting them. Problem solved. |

Walton. Sam Walton.
And I couldn't care less about Walmart, TRU or Target exclusives. If I want them bad enough, I will find a way to get them.

I think the buyer is just caught up in a Wal-mart vs Hasbro dispute. Neither one is going to come out and tell us the problem.

Hahaha....spoken like a true Canadian, where all exclusives are available to us only through the grace of fellow collectors.

I had the same problem with Walmart with the 25th stuff too.I have several in my area and this one Walmart had wave 8 and 9 forever even when they sold some figures they never restocked. Even when wave 13 was out never again restocked. I have never experienced this problem at any of the Target or TRU in my area.

What ever happened to to the "movie sucks" attitude around here? Every Walmart will carry the movie. That is what is important.

Walmart blows to say the least. When I was collecting 25th, they brought in a relative few number of cases over a six month time and the pegs were picked clean within a couple of days after each new one. About 4 months or so before ROC figures were released, they stopped getting in new shipments period with only a couple helmeted CCs hanging around; one of which is still there. The ROCs came out in a huge number but were gone in like a week or so and now its just a bunch of peg warmers; small vehicles and one or two ravens. If I were collecting ROC I would be pissed with each new trip to Walmart since they are gradually reducing the number of pegs and shelf space for ROC as the days go by.
