Wtf walmart get a clue???

What makes me mad is this is Wal Marts grand scheme of things are even though Joes outsold StarWars 3 of the last 6 months 70 hangers of StarWars, 40 hangers of the Batman, 40 hangers of HULK, 35 of Iron Man and 5 of Joes…. so yea older figures are warming the shelves because their computer generated inventory control for all those 5 hangers are full so no empty hangers for new Joes to arrive...

Try this one on...

Firebat - $15.99
Fang & CLAW - $15.99
HISS - $15.99
Sharc - $15.99
and on and on and on

vs

Star Wars A Wing - $29.99

WTF? An A Wing that is no bigger than the Firebat is twice the price? And we wonder why there so much SW junk clogging up shelves these day.

I asked the lady working in the toy area if they were going to put out any new figures, because there was room and she told me they had to sale half of the pegs before they would put any of wave 10 out. It was same thing here as well 5 pegs to the other over whelming crap taking up all the space

Take half the figures off the shelf put them in law and garden well hidden, go back the next day and ask again if they will bring out new figures

i just moved to a new area about 2 months ago, and the walmart next to me has never sold a single joe that they have. I check there about 3 or 4 times a week since its so close, and never once have i seen anything there move.

Same goes with the TRU and Kmart next to me. The TRU has a Bazooka, Jetpack Duke, and CC with mass element that have been the only figs there for 2 motnhs.

K mart only has a wave 7 snake eyes and spirit and maybe a viper .
weak sauce!
