Decided to screw retirement due to clearence sale
Picked up black MMS Heatseaker-makes great attachment to Stinger Monkeywrench/Tunnel Rat set-Now I can make a Chuck Norris custom Gung Ho/Copperhead set-Gung Ho body makes a good base for a Chuck Norris Wanted to get my hands on the black Televiper that came with Surveillance set. No luck on that one. |

anyone else think these were clearanced a bit premature?
The battle stations were only out for 2 weeks before christmas at our Walmart, and to my (checking daily) knowledge were only stocked with 2 cases of 4. 8 units, all sold out in seconds from the pallet, and these items go on clearance? shouldn't a smart distribution manager have made a conceded effort to transfer stock to stores with alpha ratings on these units?

It was a crock that they never brought them down to South Texas. This was just as bad as the 08 Target situation where the Striker, Spectre and Blue Hiss cease to exist where I live.

I'm not surprised at Wally's though, they botched this whole Joe thing from the beginning, well regarding the ROC merchandise. All of our Walmart's were about a week or two behind the other stores putting out the merchandise. They completely missed out on the initial sales by collectors and the first movie-goers and then their pegs sat filled with wave 1 material. When the new waves started to arrive they didn't rotate stock, they just let the first waves rot on the pegs. Then they have to drop the prices to try and get some of it to move and FINALLY when the DVD hit they put some of the new stuff out which seemed to sell quite well. One of our fellow tankers and my good buddy here locally was in there one night when they were stocking and was told they wouldn't put out anything new until the old stuff had sold, that that was Walmart policy. He also told my buddy, why I don't know, that yes they had a bunch of stuff in the back just waiting to get put out. Again, they couldn't because of the policy. So, all that said, I bought the majority of my Joe ROC stuff at Target's and TRU because they were moving product, dropping prices, and running sales. They were putting it out almost as soon as they got it and every time I asked someone at Target to scan the Joes and see if they had any in the back they said no after doing so. Lying or not, they were at least trying to make some sales and to me, it seemed Walmart was acting quite foolishly. Hey it's great for us, don't get me wrong I'm not complaining, I'm just a little confused by their actions and I used to work retail at TRU.

That said, if anyone see's the Batman Brave and the Bold Batmobile drop under the $25 clearance price Target has it at right now would you let me know by sending me a PM please? I say this because I bought the last one on Sunday and I won't know now if it drops anymore during their continued rise in clearance percentages. Thanks all!

I know of several WalMarts that never carried the battle stations. My wife found them for me at 1 WalMart out of like 8 or 9 that she went to. Now they are clearanced out. Lucky for me she bought me a few of them 10 to be exact.
