I give up on Walmart

Looks like im gona stick with my local Targets for awhile. I was at Walmart today around 2:30pm-ish, my 3rd-4th visit this month, and NADA on the pegs.
and the restocking paper that tell the employees where to put certain toy brands on the peg, hasnt been updated in a month(its dated 1/14/08)
I even looked around the other toy isles to see if some collector/scalper hid a single/comic pack, no where in sight.
at least they have no problem restocking Transformer movie toys.

Sounds like my local Wal-Marts. I've found more at Kmart believe it or not.

that "restocking paper" wasn't used for restocking purposes. it just tells you how the layout will look like once the stuff goes up on those shelves or pegs.

those "paper" don't do jack shizzle. they don't even tell you if they have it on stock or not.

it's "outdated" coz the layout of the section doesn't any changes, unless there's a new item like a new toy line that will be introduced. then that's the time to update those layout, meaning moving this and that, and update the stuff.

best way to check if your target or wal-mart or tru, is to ask (if you can) an associate to look it up in their system, if they have it or not, or even when they'll have.... if they want to tell you. now the most challenging part is to get an associate to actually do that for you. meaning if he or she is willing to do so.... if all else fail tie em up. LOL!!!!

What's funny is that where I live it's the exact opposite. Lots of 25th Joes at Wal-Mart but hardley ever any at Target. I never even bothered setting foot in K-Mart.

K-marts around the Wisconsin area have been promising, but, Walmart has been to depressing. I really enjoy looking for figures but where's the fun when there are none? It's like a Wild "Joe" (Goose) chase.

Honestly I think they are waiting for March to hit so they can restock the shelves.

I have been finding alot of figures at k mart lately. Target would be second and wal mart would be third. Even though tru has finally got figures in now, i have never bought any from them...

WM was the place before the Holidays, then nothing. In the last few weeks, they finally got wave 3 comic packs and wave 4 singles and nothing new since. Target was good for wave 5, but as with WM, it's been wave 4 singles and wave 3 comic packs, although nothing new the past 2 weeks. 1 KM, has a good stock of wave 3 revision wave, but the other 2 KM's are worthless.
